03/05/2011 "Off-Ice Skating" Showcases on ITV's This Morning with Daniel Whiston and Louie Spence on Friday 6th May 2011!
Off-Ice Skating is the new sport which is kicking up a storm within the sport and fitness community!
Invented by Karen Coombes and Karen O'Neill -who appeared on Dragon's Den in 2009 and were offered investment by Theo Paphitis - to enable ice skaters to skate anywhere without ice!
Unlike ordinary inline skates, Off-Ice Skates have been designed to exactly replicate the action of an ice blade - with a rockered chassis, specially designed chamfered wheels and a unique toe stop which combine to enable you to get a proper edge and do jumps, spins and turns - in fact everything you can do on ice you cannow do off!! With the added benefit of the patented teaching aid - colour co-ordinated boot covers - anyone could be skating and doing the Bolero in minutes!
The Karen's decided to turn down Theo Paphitis' offer and are now backed by Val Kaye and Paul Wright, the co-founders of Ideal Shopping DirectPLC (Ideal World TV) who have developed the product and tied up with Daniel Whiston - twice champion winner of ITV's Dancing on Ice - who endorses Off-Ice Skating and has produced DVDs which teach you to Off-Ice Skate and take you into a whole new world of fitness.
Dan Whiston will be appearing on ITV's This Morning on 6th May and will be teaching Louie Spence how to get fit with Off-Ice Skates!
So watch This Morning on 6th May for an amazing insight into a new world of skating and fitness.
