How to Ice Skate? Is it the same as Roller Blades?
Push off and glide. It isn%26#039;t all that difficult. Just keep your center of balance. It is kind of the same concept of skiing also. You need to know how to turn and stop. If you can roller blade you can probably skate. Same type of falls and injuries, just a different surface for landing. You%26#039;ll be fine. Just ware the elbow and knee pads and a helmet for protection when first starting out. Hard landings hurt.
Reply:I find ice skating to be much easier than roller blading, partly because I started it much earlier, and partly because on ice you can slide sideways (blades perpendicular to the direction you%26#039;re going) to stop etc.


Also, when you wipe out, it sure helps to slide a bit instead of doing the old face plant on pavement!
Reply:no! It is soooo fuckn diffrent!
Reply:Hard core practice





if you%26#039;ve rolar blade before it will be SO easy.
Reply:I didn%26#039;t find it too hard when I went ice skating last year it%26#039;s a bit different but not that much - if you%26#039;re good at rollerblading i don%26#039;t see that you will have any problems
Reply:I do not think they are the same! Ice Skating was harder for me, I never had my shoes tied tight enough to give me the support in my ankles that you need to ice skate!
Reply:Make sure you learn how to stop... Or you could break your leg... I speak from experience
Reply:Well rollers are close to hockey.....actually hockey players like to use them as summer trainers......but I believe you will learn to skate much easier if you are good at roller blades.The first 10 min will be hard as you have to get use to the new %26#039; ground%26#039; but then you will be ok.A friend of mine is really good at roller blades.He stepped on the ice last year for the firs time in his life and after 15 min he was so cool.Even at the end of the public skating he managed to do some tricks he knew from rollers ....like jumping from front to back......and he did it on the ice....so don%26#039;t worry......having skating with rollers will help you a lot with skates.





If you are interested in figure skating.....it%26#039;s different.Rollers are not good for summer practice as they destroy the stance of figure skaters.....
Reply:it%26#039;s the same
Reply:Exactly. It%26#039;s exactly the same. No difference. And basketball is exactly the same as soccer. And Kia%26#039;s are exactly like Rolls Royce%26#039;s. And girls are exactly like boys. Etc. Any other questions?
Reply:i personally dont think it is the same...... it all depends. i roller skate real well but when i got on the ice, i almost broke my ankles!!! you have to keep your feet perfectly straight or you are not going to get very far...
Reply:Not really. For one thing you need ice to ice skate and most


any surface is okay for roller blades. However, the balance


necessary to do either is about the same. With ice skating


you don%26#039;t usually skin your elbows and knees, but often time


you get a pretty good thump on the butt.
Reply:first you try to ballice. then you skate slowly then faster and faster. there you got it.=)
Reply:no its not
Reply:it not the same but it is very similar .... people that know how to rollerblade will probably find it much easier to balance then people that don%26#039;t





but it usually takes sometime to get used to skating on the ice because to surface is harder to skate on
Reply:it is basicaly there is just a little bit of a different feel to them like the blade is smaller so it is a littler harder to balence edges are harder on ice but turning back wards is alot easyer to do on ice with out falling so careful when turning that u dont turn to far so u stat fronwards but dont worry about it if ur good on rollar blade skaing will be no problem
Reply:No it%26#039;s not the same..Alot of people when they start ice skating for the first time find it is hard on thier ankles..It%26#039;s alot harder to ice skate than to roller blade.
Reply:it%26#039;s basically the same. i%26#039;ve rollerbladed and when i went on the ice- poof i knew how to ice skate. although the people above are right - the only thing i can%26#039;t do- even 15years later is stop .ha . i always just skate into the wall slowly or grab on to someone;o)
Reply:Not the same but will be easy because you already can roller blade. The first time I tried ice skating, I couldn%26#039;t. I went home, put on a pair of roller skates, learned, and when I went back to the ice, I could skate! The best tip for me was to bend forward to keep my balance, and not skating too slow also helped. Have fun!!
Reply:I am very good at roller blading. I went ice skating about a year ago for the first time. When I first went out there, I was slipping and could barely walk out to the ice. After about 2 minutes, I started to get the hang of it. a few more minutes later, I finally knew what I was doing. like an hour later, i was even doing spins (like the fun kind u do on rollerblades). It is a whole lot like rollerblading, but on the smooth ice, sometimes it felt as if i was rollerblading on wet ground. you just have to adjust the way you skate a tiny bit. i suggest not looking at or paying too much attention to ur feet because i did a lot better when i didn%26#039;t.





Some people think it is a lot easier than rollerblading, but, for others, rollerblading is easier


Hope everything goes well for you
Reply:for me


I took ice skating lessons and it helped me a lot in rollerblading


so rollerblading is basically like ice skating
Reply:roller blading is almost the same but iceskating is way harder!!!
Reply:Yep.But with rollerskateing,u dont get ur butt wet.
Reply:it%26#039;s not the same. it depends on which skates you use.


figure skates are easier in my opinion. hockey skates are hard.





you use toe picks (located on the front of the skates) to skate with figure skates.





with hockey skates, its sorta like rollerblading. so yah. good luck.
Reply:i think its different for everyone, i can ice skate and roller skate but wasnt real good on roller blades
Reply:ya i rollerblade to its basicly the same
