The Gatorback system is the best way to stop on speed skates. With this system, you can stop about as quickly as a bicycle from high speeds and on steep hills. The amount of stopping force and control is far ahead of any other system on the market.

These frames require boots with 195mm spacing.
The standard configuration is one brake frame and one normal skate frame. The frames can be swapped from left to right foot as needed. Some customer like to have dual brakes and others like to have no brakes. Frames can be ordered with, without, or with dual brakes. Please call if you are interested in a non standard configuration.
The GatorLeash is the most innovative part of the Gatorback skate brake system.
You attach the leash to your skate frame and your boot with an elastic retention system. To activate the system, the skater places their hand in the leash loop for extra stopping power and control.
This is the key to the system and the key to making fast stops possible on speed skates.
The GatorLeash provides leverage and control over the braking forces. Using the leash, it is possible to stop about as fast as a bicycle. Once you master the basics of heel braking using the leash is easy and intuitive. The design of the leash handle ensures that it is easy for your hand to drop into the loop since we use a special material that maintains the proper shape for easy access.
When you are not using the leash it maintains the proper positon on the boot with an elastic retention system.
The GatorLeash is sold with a 60 day unconditional money back guarantee.
