Its low-profile design positions the wheels closer to the boot, which helps lower the skater's center of gravity. The result is a connected feel when setting an edge, changing direction, or accelerating out of a turn. Smooth lines and a triple-polish finishing process give the plate a clean, considered appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 20-degree kingpin angle gives the Athena the agility needed for close turns and the control needed for faster skating. Bont's Quadstar team has put the plate to work in demanding roller derby conditions. It is equally suited to skaters refining a setup for indoor or rink skating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"max-width:760px; margin:28px auto; text-align:center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/6242\/files\/athena-roller-skate-plates-6911699681393.jpg?v=1712055693\" alt=\"Black Bont Athena roller skate plate shown at an angle with ToeGo toe stop, trucks, and cushions\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block; width:100%; aspect-ratio:16\/9; object-fit:cover; object-position:center 60%;\"\u003e\u003cfigcaption style=\"font-size:0.9em; line-height:1.5; margin-top:8px;\"\u003eThe low-profile aluminum chassis, adjustable trucks, and included ToeGo toe stop.\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSet up the response you prefer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe variable adjustment nut and grub screw let you set the plate tighter or looser to suit your skating style.
