- Jump Excellence: Selene is specifically tailored for skaters working on double jumps. The combination of the lightweight aluminum holder and stainless steel runner enhances the longevity of the blade by maintaining sharp edges and ensuring consistent performance for skaters who demand the best from their equipment.
- Cutting-Edge Design: The Selene blade’s sleek and modern design reflects the innovation and precision that Riedell Skates and Eclipse Blades are renowned for in the world of figure skating.
Bob Riegelman, President of Riedell Skates, shared “Crafted with care and attention to detail, the Eclipse Selene is a technical piece of equipment designed to honor both the strength and artistry of the sport of figure skating.”
