How wide and thick is a snowboard?
A wide snowboard is a snowboard with a width of usually 26 cm or more. Wide snowboards are necessary for riders with a boot size of roughly 10.5 or higher. With a board that is too narrow, a larger boot size may cause the boot to hang over the edges of the board and create toe drag. Attached is a link for a video that talks about the purpose of wide snowboards.

How do you shuffle roller skate?
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.
What are the equipment used in speed skating?
for basic lessons, you will need skates, gloves, a jacket, and cloths you can move in. small children sometimes wear helmets and snowpants.
for competitive skaters, you need a practice dress [for girls] or practice outfit [for guys] good skates, a warm up jacket, thing mittens, tights, knee high tights [used as socks], water bottle, kleenex, skate guards, soakers, a washcloth to dry your skates, and the music for your program.
For figure skating you need:
1. A jacket or fleece: its important to stay warm while skating.
2. Figure skates: proper skates are needed to do jumps. NO HOCKEY SKATES.
3. long socks: not knee high socks, just socks that go above your skates. (otherwise you`ll get blisters)
4. Yoga pants or other stretchy pants: no jeans, you need room to stretch tight pants aren`t good.
5. Pony tail or bun: if you`re a girl, you`ll need to tie your hair up or your hair will fall in your face while you spin.
6. Skate guards: protect you blades or they`ll get dull.
7. A bag: to put your skates in.
8. Gloves: keep your hands warm.
9. Water bottle: figure skating is hard work so you will probably get thirsty.
10. A cloth: to dry your skates when you finish skating.

Are young children interested in speed skating?
Unfortunately most kids don't get enough exposure to the sport, and therefore don tlike it because they don't know about it. But if your wondering weather to out a child into the program, then i severely encourage you to. The sport is fun, and the people are nice, so come on out :)
Is there any friction when you are roller skating?
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.
In figure skating how do you do a double flip?
In order to even land a double loop in figure skating, it is crucial for you to know how to do a single. It is recommended for you to have sharp skates, ankle support, and flexible/comfortable clothing (no jeans).
When you do a single loop you have to pull your arms in a cross lightly to get the rotation . With the double though you will need to work out and have really strong leg muscles. The idea of the jump is to master a rotation without using your toe pick by jumping off one leg and doing a rotation and landing on it again.
In order to do a double loop, you will have to pull in your arms really tightly to get more spin. Second, you need to be able to push yourself off your leg hard and fast. This is probably the most important part. You need to get higher up in the air to be able to fit in two rotations.
When you first try doing a double loop, you should always have someone watching, just in case you get injured. It's OK to wear a helmet for the first couple of times if you feel really uncomfortable without it, or just not confident.

How many kinds of roller skates are there?
Generally, there are two main kinds of roller skates: in-lines and quads. In-lines are made for speed, and quads are made for performing tricks.
There are several classifications of skates:
One kind of skates are 'aggressive' skates. These have hard boots and small wheels. These are used for dangerous stunts such as hand rail slides or stair jumps. Generally, only extremely advanced skaters use these skates.
On the other hand, 'recreational skates' are generally used for beginners. They are built for comfort and durability. These are often confused with 'fitness' skates, which are reserved for those who Rollerblade often.
There is another group of skates, called 'speed' skates. Their design varies, but they are generally used for sports.
How do you keep ice rink frozen outside?
A ice rink has a special floor that holds water in it like a pool. It takes about 4-5 hours to freeze the rink. In order to keep the ice rink frozen and solid, the temp. has to be 32 degrees or less. That's why when you enter a ice rink it will become cold as soon as you walk in side.
Enjoy!

Is ice skating similar to roller skating?
No, they're not the same. If you're roller skating or roller blading, you have a boot with buckles on it, and you have wheels on the bottom of the boot. You use them on land. If you're ice skating, you have a half-shoe, half-boot that's either white or tan colored (for the girls) and usually black (for the boys). There aren't any buckles on ice skates, there are shoelaces. On the bottom, there are blades, not wheels. You use these kind of skates on ice, not on land.
When were roller skates invented?
Actually, roller skates were invented in 1760 by Joseph Merlin, of Huy, Belgium.
Yes, they can. After Ice Skating, if the blade is not cleaned with tissues/ a towel etc. The blades can go rusty, which is very dangerous and so they must then be replaced if they do go rusty. If you your skates do get rusty, you can have them sharpened which will remove the layer of rust, however I suggest NOT to leave your skates to rust as the rust may progress to areas of the blade that aren't normally sharpened.
How much does a figure skating coach earn?
It depends on where you live how old you are. Who ever you are skating for decides how much you get paid. If you are going pro then you would more than likely get paid a lot. But you also lose a lot of money too. you pay at least $6,000 a year to be a professional skater.
When competing in things like the National, World, or Grand Prix events, they aren't paid. They are doing it for enjoyment. While many of them are sponsored, they are not paid. Once skaters quit the competing and join the pro, like Stars on ice, they get paid, but I don't know how much.

What is wrong with ice skating?
There are a few reasons that people do not enjoy figure skating. One reason why people dont like ice skating is because sometimes parents get too pushy and turn their children away from the sport. I believe ice skating should be competitive, but fun at the same time. A pushy parent would make ice skating not fun, just competitive. Another reason why people dont like ice skating is an obvious reason. You may not be good at the sport. Ice skating involves lots of hard work, and if you aren't willing to give it your all, then you won't be good. The next reason people don't like figure skating is because of their coach. Sometimes, coaches can be tough. Although you may not like a tough coach, they are the best ones. Finally, some people just don't like the sport. They just don't enjoy it. I hope this helped!!!!
