2.5cm Lift

We are building a 2.5cm lift for this little girls left skate. She has a leg length variance, so this will help with her ability to skate.
This is a sped up build, amounting to 2 hours of actual time to cut out, form, install and sharpen this skate.
The lift is made from two 1cm stacked pieces of acrylic, and two pieces of nylon made from a 1.5mm and 3.5mm sheet to total the needed 2.5cm.
Installation was completed with stainless 6-32x2” flat head machine screws and matching size nylon lock nuts. The screws were cut and filed to the correct length to complete this custom built lift.

Nice that you guys are making skating accessible for people with non symmetrical leg lengths. How did you guys come up with 2.5 cm did you guys measure her?

We deal with a number of the ortho/podiatrists that specialize in this sort of thing. We only really show the extreme cases, like this one. In general we are splitting the difference in leg length. She has a 5cm leg length difference, so we built a 2.5cm lift.

@@bsharpottawaThat makes sense.
