I am a quad roller skater, and my daughter Chelsee is an ice skater. She used to be a quad skater too, but the technique was too different for her to continue with both. The PIC skate has allowed her to continue roller skating without losing the ice technique. The Triax frame is manufactured by a rollerskating company - Snyder. The PIC was designed by an ice skating coach. My daughter, has skated on both frames and so have I. The Triax is like skating on a hockey skate with a toe stop. Edges are very difficult and so are spins. The frame is not rockered like the PIC so you are skating on all three wheels at the same time. Triax might have changed the frame since I tried them. I do know that at the U.S. North Central Regionals in 2000, there were two skaters who competed on the Triax frame. Their main complaint was the rocker issue. In fact they had planned on putting a larger wheel in the center to get the rocker effect after seeing Chelsee skate and looking over her PIC Frame. They also had tremendous difficulty with spinning. The toe stop on the Triax is placed much higher - like a quad skate - where as the PIC is closer to where an ice pick on a blade would be - lower and easier to use for balance while spinning. I believe the Triax is priced much higher than the PIC frame. <-- Back to Main Article Related Links PIX vs. Triax - Main Article About Michelle Foster Artistic Roller Skating Official Skating Federations International Roller Sports Federation (FIRS) National Roller Skating Federations	Kathie Fry, Editor Join our friendly international skating community SkateLog Forum What I Saw Skating in Venice Beach 2007 Skating Wall Calendars Free SkateLog Business Cards Renate Groenewold + Other Dutch Skaters National Federations FIRS SKATERS by Country by Name by Birthday Photos Girl Skater Photo Gallery SKATE STOPPERS Are They Dangerous?
