Roller Skating

It really depends on a number of factors. There are thinks such as body weight, normalcy (how often you do it), the speed at which you go, and general physical condition that all tie into how many callories you burn. For the avg. person weighting around 150lbs, averaging 10 mph it would be a little more than 500 calories per hour. Someone who weighs about 120lbs would only burn about 300 calories and someone who weighs 200lbs would burn about 650.

Although not called synchronized skating, the pairs competition is just that - two skaters doing the same thing at the same time, judged by their ability to perform at the same pace and display an artistic interpretation of the music.

You start by rolling up a ramp and going back down or just plain rolling fakie

Next you set up your feet with one centered on nose and other about 1 inch or so in front of bolts

apply pressure with foot on nose of board and spin your body at the same time, this trick does not require board spin, remember where your head goes your body will follow

-or-

just get going fast fakie and quickly slide your body around in a jerking motion without applying pressure to make that skidding sound revert

What you do first is try walking with it.Then when you get used to it,you try pushing your self to move.If you had experience before with ice skating you could know how to glide. So the big part of Learning this is gliding with one foot.Have Fun!

First, you should get a good size. It's great if it's a little big, so when your size gets bigger, you can still wear them. Practice in an open area. You should have a movement kind of like slightly lunging forward, and turning can be pretty easy. Its much easier to have someone help you for the first time.

Not necessarily, though you may have a bit of an advantage in learning over someone who's never skated at all. One of the big issues is the same as that between roller skating and roller blading: skates automatically remain vertical; blades want to tip over to the side.

if you are some place cold you might be able to skate at an outdoor rink but whens its warm you can skate on rinks that use synthetic ice.

roller skates normally cost the size that it is, if its for children it will maybe cost a little number, and for adults it would cost about a middle number.

HAHAHAHAHA ohhhhhh

It starts with 2 teams on an oval track. There are 4 blockers for each team on the track at the same time, 1 of each teams blockers being a pivot, the jammer's (scorers) main helper. The first whistle blows and the pack takes off. Second whistle blows and the jammers take off. The aim for the jammers is to make it through the pack before the other jammer does. If they get through first, they are the lead jammer. This means they can call off the jam (a fancy term for stopping it) if they get tired, the other jammer is catching up or any other reason they might have. A jam is 2 minutes or until it is called off. Each blocker the jammers pass the second time around of the opposing team, they get a point. Obviously, to win, you are the team with the most points.

This would depend on how you plan on using them. If you are just a recreational skater and will use them occasionally for leisure, then Roller Derby and Chicago. If you are using them for a specific purpose then you would likely be looking for a Riedell, Vanilla, or Pacer skate.

Yes, as u already have good balance on a board... But you should learn how to ocean swim aswell as that is a grat bonus

If you are referring to Quads no. In-lines are faster than Quads, and they're easier. I have been skating every Friday, from 7-10 for a year now at my local Roller Skating Rink and I had allot of trouble with Quads. I always fell, but In-lines are the easiest and fastest skates. Especially if you have good wheels.

I have a pair of roller skates. no.

The song was titled "Brand New Key" and it was written by folk singer Melanie Safka-Schekeryk in 1971. It was also known as "The Rollerskate Song."

Yes. Its very easy. I ice skate 3 times a week and when i picked up some roller skates for the first time i was better than most people at the rink!!

Shuffling is not that hard, but does take a little time to practice. The concept is pretty simple. You want to basically incorporate three moves/movements into one, and do them on beat as if you were doing a three step dance. Any moves you will are technically considered shuffling so don't worry about the right or wrong shuffle. To most people, as long as you're doing it on beat, they will think you are good.

You will probably want to loosen your trucks that way your skates are more free to move around.

Below is a simple shuffle I've seen people do. You could learn this and then make it your own by adding or changing moves.

1. While skating, have your left and right feet next to each other, and then take right or left foot and do a a half moon motion so that your right foot, for example, is almost in same position but on the left side of your left foot.

2. Bring the right foot back and have your feet next to each other (this completes first move). Now pump your legs - so move your left and right foot out and back in at the same time. (Pretend there is a child about to go through your legs, so try to make them wider so you don't run them over.)

3. You've done the first two moves. Now take the foot you started with and put it behind the other foot (so, for example, you originally did the half moon by putting your right foot over your left. You now want to put your right foot behind your left almost like in a slant motion).

4. Now you've done all three moves. Just repeat.

I've done both ice skating ad roller skating. I enjoyed ice skating but I wanted expand myself I bought a good fitting pair of roller skates! I found body position was every important. In my opinion the Biggest difference between ice and roller skating are "edges"! Ice skates have one blade on each boot--the ice blade is very narrow--but is still has an inside and a outside edge Roller skates have four wheels and each wheel has an inside and outside edge BUT the edges are 3/4" apart from each other!! When I was ice skating we didn't have inside ice rinks! I had a problem with edges in completion---but I finally found how to REALLY master theoss edges!!!

Yes, that's why the Zamboni must come out to refreeze the ice and fill in the grooves. The blade heats the ice slightly as it skates over it. It creates the grooves because it melts the ice where it glides.
