Figure Skating

It depends where you are at. Search "Local ice skating rinks" on google and it should show you rinks near you. Then just go to their site and check the prices! (sometimes they even have family packs) :)

I'm 13 and I'm in Freestyle 3 But i see people of all ages at the rink doing the same stuff as me so its just whenever you start skating.

Axel Paulsen was the "inventor" of the Axel jump, he was also the first person to ever perform it. He discovered this jump in year of 1882.

Katarina Witt and Debi Thomas both skated to Bizet's "Carmen" and therefore became known as the Dueling Carmens.

YES

She was 11 years old

No, they are good friends though.

Torvill and Dean won the world championship in ice dancing in 1981, 1982, 1983, and 1984.

It depends on the skater and what country they are from. Some will "turn pro" meaning they can not compete in another Olympics or other official championships, but they can go on tour with ice shows such as "Stars On Ice" or "Disney On Ice" or various other productions. If they choose to tour with the shows after "retiring" from competitive skating, they can make a living at it. For a few skaters, the best in the world, endorsement deals can be substantial, especially right after a big success like winning gold at the Olympics, and especially if they are from a wealthy, free-market country like the USA or Japan.

In some countries Olympic skaters are funded completely by the government, so their training, housing, food, etc costs them nothing, but they also get little in return for their accomplishment (though the government often gives cash prizes for winning metals and incentives such as a new house, etc for earning such an honor.)

Thus, while it is possible for Olympic figure skaters to make a living at figure skating post-Olympics, it is neither a lucrative profession nor a sure bet (the cost of ice time and coaching fees in order to get to the Olympic games if a skater is from the US for example, may be well over $100,000.) And while there is always the option of the traveling ice show, not all high level figure skaters want to do them, and they can of course pursue other careers after their competitive skating days are over ... including coaching or judging.

Yes there are.

I'm looking for the performance called "Tarzan & his Mate"

Is that the same one?

all you need to need to do is pull the laces tighter starting at the bottom.

Dancing such as ballet is indeed a sport, but as a figure skater I know ice skating is nothing like ballet. It takes balance and leg strength. There are jumps where many skaters break bones, fall, and injure themselvs. You must have endurance to skate in the cold enviroment.

I'm an ice skater. Ice skating is very difficult to just simply stand on the ice, let alone do triple axels and lutzes. People have suffered cracked heads and bones while ice skating. Yes, ice skating is partly dancing and partly sport. You need the grace, and the flexibility and balance combined with endurance, strength, and will to make ice skating. Champions are only formed when they have these 4 things:

# Determination # Hard Work # Talent/Potential # Love No sport can be achieved if you don't have all 4 of these things.

Basically just figure skates! Stretchy athletic clothing or figure skating dresses are the usual attire.

You can prevent inline skating injuries by learning the basic skills, obeying traffic signals, performing warm-up exercises, wearing wrist protectors, a helmet, as well as knee and elbow pads

Ice skating nude is ludicrist. The blades are sharp and the cold conditions could cause frost bite. Any fall could be dangerous. If you have seen photos of this...it's usually a model posing for just a few seconds for the picture. No one really ice skates nude. There is one video out there of a young Chinese girl skating nude which may or may not be real. Also if a guy does it he may end up doing the "Nutcracker Suite"

Nude rolling skating is popular in certain parts of the world normally nudists will rent the arena privately.

At the front of a figure skating blades are some points. Each point is called a "toepick." The toepicks make up the "toerake" of the blade.

The toepicks are used by figure skaters to initiate and land jumps

While people have been ice skating for centuries, figure skating in its current form originated in the mid-19th century by Englishman Robert Jones, the first known account of figure skating. Competitions were then held in the "English style" of skating, which was stiff and formal and bears little resemblance to modern figure skating. American skater Jackson Haines considered the "father of modern figure skating", introduced a new style of skating in the mid-1860s. This style, which incorporated free and expressive techniques, became known as the "international style." Although popular in Europe, Haines' style of skating was not widely adopted in the United States until long after his death.
