Ice skates have come a long way since the concept was first thought of thousands of years ago.  This is probably a good thing when you think about what the oldest pair of ice skates to have been found are made of.  Dated back to about 3000 B.C. the first pair of skates were made from the leg bones of large animals.  Holes were then made at each end and leather straps were used to tie them on.  Everyone is probably no doubt relieved that a few progressions have been made over the years.
