Skating

Good quality skateboard bearing oil can be a wonderful thing to maintain the skateboard properly. Through oiling, cleaning and maintenance, it can be easier for the skater to ride it properly and get better performance. Visit ionicflux. com for more information now.

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.

Most skating rinks are open for three months in the winter, often around December. This will depend on your location, If you know the name of the rink then go to that skating rinks website for more information.

It depends on how you fall. Sometimes it just hurts a little, then you get up and continue skating, other times, depending on how you fall, you can hurt your wrists trying to catch yourself, or twist your ankle or knee. Most the time, if you don't try to go too fast or do things your not yet use to, like turning around fast, skating fast...you will be alright. Don't be afraid to try something new, you may end up being very good at it...just take it slow at first. Even if you do fall, take a quick break and when you're ready, be sure to get back at it!

I personally think that Ice skating is way cooler, but hey, we all have our own ideas about what is more "fun", be it skating or bowling.

Skating is so GOOD coz

1. You will all ways have fun

2. When having so much fun you also get fit without really knowing it

3. You can get heaps of hotty's if there is some watching

4. you don't have to buy that stupid exersize equipment when you can buy skateboards for like $150, scooters for $129, BMX's for $500 (And that is around the prices for good scooters, skateboards, and BMX's)

5. You meet more people skating then you would sitting on the couch watching the simpsons

6. You can become famous if your really good at skating

7. You can enter in comps and get cash and prizes

8. You can be good at something when SKATING

Be sure to leave some more reasons of why skating is so GOOD!!!!!!

ROCK ON

Mostly 15 and up because skating rinks are more for young kids and teens so an adult probably not like it there but a teen might and you probably don't need to know how to skate to work at one trust me my 16 year old brother works at bells skating rink at Fort Wayne Indiana

I dont know what kind of boots your talkig about, I mean for what sport? Speed skating boots range from 300-1500 CAN dollars, Hockey skates can be from about the same but maybe a bit less. But if you join a club you can most-likely rent them for much less.

Ice skating, or if you do competitive skating it is called figure skating.

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.

If you're a competitive figure skater, you can buy your skates at Rainbo Sports (Northbrook), Triple Toe Skatewear (Woodridge), Gepetto's Skate shop (Downers Grove). There are probably other places, but those I'm familiar with. If you're a recreational skater, you can also get recreational skates there, or you can go to Dicks Sporting Goods or Sports Authority in the winter. There used to be also Play it again sports... not sure if they're still around. B&R sports cater to hockey players, but they have recreational figure skates too.

Top skaters in races have been recorded doing 14m/s which is about 48km/hr or 30 miles/hr.

62 kph (39 mph) for top skater in sprint

average is 28-35 mph for speed skaters as an average over distances.

Jeremy Wotherspoon holds the world record for the 500 meters in speed skating- 34.03 s; and Tucker Fredricks holds the US record for the 500 meters, 34.31 s.

OHkey

Ice hockey is "Hockey sobre hielo". (OHkey SObray YAYlow)

Field hockey is "Hockey sobre hierba" (OHkey SObray YERba)

Figure skating isn't "PLAYED" we compete in competitions. the first competition was in Thunder-Bay Ontario. biggest city in northwestern ontario.

Most famous where?

Japanese heritage or citizenship?

In the US, you could possible count Kristi Yamaguchi as she's of Japanese heritage but not citizenship.

In Japan, Midori Ito, Yuka Sato, Shizuka Arakawa, Mao Asada, and Miki Ando are all very famous. As well as Daisuke Takahashi.

Well, don't know if you noticed but there is a wall to right. lol.. i never thought of that.. but anyway, its just the way the tracks were laid out, but they do turn right on the road courses. Ok the answer of because the wall is on the right side makes no sense at all if they turn their cars the other way on the track the wall would be on the left. They turn left because the driver seat is on the left side of the car so their visablity is much greater on the left their visibility to the right is not that great. Just like if you your self are going around corners it is easier to turn to the left then the right because you are on the right.

It is for safety. Back in the day, when NASCAR was called "stock cars", the cars were based off cars produced for American streets. Cars designed for American streets have the steering wheel on the left. If cars went clockwise (turned right) the driver would be pinned against the wall, when they crashed in a turn. The old Riverside (California) road course had a long sweeping righthand turn with an outside wall. At full speed around that corner the drivers would be right against the wall.

* Order someone to call 911 immediately.

* If the ice is breaking, lie down flat to spread your weight out more evenly.

* If you can safely approach the person who fell in while lying flat on your stomach to help them get out of the water, do so--but only if you're not at risk of falling into the water too.

* If possible throw the person who fell in a rope or other line that he or she can use to pull up onto their stomach on the ice and slide safely to the shore.

* Once out of the water, the person needs to remove the cold wet clothes and be wrapped in dry warm ones and brought indoors to warm up. If he or she was in the water more than 30 seconds, there is a risk of hypothermia, and he or she should be treated for that when the paramedics arrive from the 911 call.

The sport known as figure skating has been known for a couple of centuries. The first known paper written on it is by Englishman Robert Jones in 1772. The American "father" of figure skating is Jackson Haines who developed the "modern" style from which the current sport has been developed. From the pictures of the time of Jackson Haines, he also developed the first skating costume...and possibly the current styling of men's undergarments, although I have not researched this theory. But.... A lesser known member of the tribe called Crank invented figure skating...and ice skating in the process. Crank was an curious child, always getting into mischief. He had this habit of wandering off after Rhonda to see what she would find. But, being a child, he would get tired and simply lie down and go to sleep wherever he was. The tribe would often find him in the fields around the encampment fast asleep, and when they woke him (he was a bit big to simply pick up by one person) he was short tempered and irritable, so they named him Crank. One fine morning, Rhonda decided to make an expedition near the Kokonee mountain to see what else the area contained. She had never been entirely satisfied with the previous two expeditions and just knew that there had to be something else worthwhile in that area beside the huge mountain. Crank saw her making preparations and he grabbed his own purse and followed her out of the camp. As Rhonda strode purposefully into the wilderness, Crank was fascinated by the many wonders of the area outside of the camp. He had seen some of the smaller animals, but the medium animals were an unknown. On the second day, Crank found himself lagging farther and farther behind Rhonda, but he gamely moved in her footsteps trying to catch up. But it was no use; a child simply could not keep up with the much swifter and more fit Rhonda. By this time Crank could see the top of the mountain however, so he knew that Rhonda was making a line for it. Immediately he figured that this was a total bust, so he cast about for a reasonable place to make a mini camp for himself. He soon found a rather shallow but wide stream near a stand of trees and sat down to rest. As he munched on cold paste that Sheila had cooked the day before, he casually looked around. The trees (as usual) were oozing that sticky stuff that was so hard to get off the body, and there were a couple of smallish animals frolicking in the underbrush. Seeing nothing to alarm him, he set about making a fire for the evening to discourage those animals from disturbing him. While he slept, the night grew very cold as was usual for those parts, and the little stream froze over. Crank was warm and comfortable so he didn't even notice much lower temperature until the next morning when he awoke. He noticed the crispness in the air and quickly killed a bird for breakfast. After finishing the bird, he set off to go back to camp. However...he had forgotten that the stream was between him and the path back to the camp. As all children will, he simply decided to cross the stream again and continue on his way. But he only took a couple of steps when he landed flat on his backside. The water was hard and he soon found out that it was very slippery too. He managed to get back to the bank with the aid of some refuse dotting the shoreline and went back to his camp to ponder the problem. As he arrived at his campsite, the bird bones were the first thing to catch his eye. Since he thought that he needed something for traction on the slippery stuff, the breast bone looked like just the thing because the sharp edge looked like it would bite into the hard water. He slipped his mukluk into the ribcage of the bird and it indeed fit. So, taking it off, he immediately killed another bird and speedily skinned and removed the meat. Now he had two ribcages to work with, so he went back to the icy stream with his bird bones. Crank shoved his feet into the bones and gingerly tried the stream. Instead of falling immediately, he was able to glide over the ice on that breast bone! Even as he fell from the lack of balance, he was intrigued. Struggling to regain his feet, he made it and by slowly and carefully shifting his weight, he was able to glide across the ice. Soon Crank was gliding across the ice with ever greater control and precision. His aim improved tremendously, and in a very few minutes, he was enthralled with the swiftness of his progress across the ice. Not since Powl had had his accident had anyone moved so swiftly. He discovered by accident that if one turned the foot just a bit, one could go in circles. Voila! The first skating figure. As he turned the circle, he noticed that the pattern was still on the ice. He retraced the circle, then inspected his handiwork, becoming the first Ice Skating Judge, since one's self is the hardest judge to please. This was fun stuff ideed..much better than following Rhonda! As Crank grew more absorbed in his new occupation, he never noticed that the sun was rising higher in the sky and to his dismay, the ice started to become soft and it broke in chunks around his skates. Swiftly moving to the other side of the shallow brook, he removed his ribcages and went on his way back toward the camp. But his new passtime intrigued him so much that he didn't fall asleep on the way back. Arriving at the camp late in the afternoon, he found a few playmates and told them of his fun new sport. The next few days saw a huge increase in industry among the young population as they all wanted to try the new passtime. About a dozen children became avid hunters of birds and in the process, became critics of the various skeletons as to durability and function on that shallow brook. The tribe had an increase in provender and the children were becoming independent which made their mothers somewhat alarmed. Crank became very popular; so much so that his sleep was interrupted by the other eager novices in this new sport. He grumpily led expeditions to the brook and demonstrated the technique to his pupils. On one of these expeditions, he was so irritable that he leaped upon the ice. To everyone's surprise, he not only stayed upright, but because of the way he landed on his bones...he started to spin. Crank had invented the flying spin, perfected many eons later by the famous Dick Button. The tribe was so enthralled by Crank's new achievement that to this day we remember him. Crank It Up isn't about music...it's about how Crank invented figure skating.

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.

Ice skating is fun for many reasons. Not only is it a good work out, but the feeling of gently gliding over the ice is one that many people would love the most. When you do a jump and land it you instantly feel excited and want to do it again! Ice skating is fun because its just another way to express yourself. its a way to get your mind off of the things that trouble you. Also, what I find most fun about ice skating is preforming in ice shows. People all over the stands yell with excitement and cheer you on!! when your done with a show you feel happy and accomplished and you get lots of complements! Receiving metals and trophies is also another reason why I really enjoy ice skating and that's why it is fun for me. While your in figure skating you also get to wear very beautiful dresses!
