Abstract
An example loosening-resistant blade mounting bracket for an ice skate includes a platform having one or more slot configured to receive a first fastener therethrough for attaching the platform to the bottom of a skate boot. One or more riser is provided substantially perpendicular on the platform. The riser has at least one opening configured to receive a second fastener therethrough for attaching the riser to a skate blade. A set screw may be provided on the at least one riser to tighten the riser against a mounting hump on the skate blade to reduce movement between the at least one riser and the mounting hump.
