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!!!!

The thinner skates cause the body weight of the skater to be distributed over a very small surface area. This does two things...first, it reduces friction which makes you slide longer/faster/more effortlessly. Second, it creates a high amount of pressure between blade and ice. This causes a thin line of the ice under the blade to liquefy, further reducing friction. (The freezing point of water is roughly 32 degrees at standard atmospheric pressure...the higher the pressure, the colder the freezing point. This is why snow packs into a snowball when you squeeze it.

YES carpets skates work! They are a fun way to release some energy when its s sucky day out. The anti-friction (aka slippery) plastic makes it ideal to slide on carpeted areas. There are little grips at the toes so you can get a running start and go fast! Go buy a pair or two and have fun with your friends at home, the office or school!!!

There's no number. Ususally in Short track there's 4 on the ice at a time, racing that is. The most I've ever seen is 6, and that was in a 3000m race. But in long track yo can have more, dependson the number of people racing, and the number of people in the meet.

yes you do. normally you would wear your underwear, then the stockings then the leotard, but if the judges can see your underwear underneath the stockings, eg the line of them or the actual pattern you will lose marks... it's one of those stupid old rules about decency or something...

There is no minimum age. As long as you can skate, you can speed skate. Honestly, if your 1 years old, but yo can stand on skates and move forward... You could sign up for your local speed skating club.

well, freezing point of water is 0 degrees c, so it would have to be colder than that.

From person to person it varies because some people like the adrenaline rush skateboarding gives them when they make a huge jump or something like that. Some people perfer just coasting down the streets of diffrent places. Some people are afraid to take risks when skateboarding like Smith Grinding a rail along a 20 stair set and some people will just jump in it and go for it. I hope this helped you any. :)

ANSWER 18 inches in diameter ANSWER 18 inches in diameter, but really it just depends if it is NBA basketball, collage or a different type of basketball, some basketball rings are different.

There are 5 basic ways to stop on skates:

1)Snow Plow Stop- Coming to an abrupt stop by pushing the side of your blade hard into the ice

2)Toe Pick Stop- With one skate, lightly drag the toepick on the surface of the ice which will gradually bring you to a stop.

3)V Stop- Bring toes together to form a V shape.

4) Run into a wall/other stable object.

5)Grab on to someone else (not reccomended:)

When starting skateboarding it is an acheivement to be able to perform an ollie but when you have been skating for ages you can expect to get higher because of the added practice, there is no such thing as a normal ollie is all to do with practice and level of skill.

Hope i helped

well it depends whether you are rollerskating or ice skating because if your ice-skating you skate in ice rinks or even in the winter on frozen lakes or ponds but if your roller skating you skate in skate parks or in parks or on the path or even the road

Something comfy, in summer a skirt, leggings, and a v neck.

For winter wear cute jeans and a really hot top!

*don't put your hair in a ponytail if your gonna wear a helment! You'll look bald!

lots of differences. for one the board was smaller and thinner. also it did not have a nose or tail, which is what people mainly use to create tricks. also the style. alot of the skaters then were surfer dudes and now there are a whole melting pot full of different types of cultures

Yes, sand in the wheels of your in-line skates can significantly affect how fast they roll. It creates additional friction and resistance, making it harder to glide smoothly. This can slow you down and make skating less efficient. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the wheels are essential to maintain optimal performance.

* Boots and blades are worn and skated with on ice * flow and glide is required in all elements in figure skating * Free skating is jumping, spinning and step sequences * Figures(or edges) are to improve overall control * figure skating is a popular sport around the world * it is also incredibly fun! Try it!

There were no Winter Olympics Games in 2004. The Winter Olympics were held in 2002 and 2006.

In 2002, Sarah Hughes of the US won the gold. In 2006, Shizuka Arakawa of Japan won the gold.

If you are referring to inline hockey skates, then yes you can use then for general street skating. I would highly suggest that you purchase an extra set of wheels that are harder for street use. Most inline hockey skates have indoor wheels and they will wear down fast skating on a hard surface. You will need wheels with a hardness (durometer) of 80A or higher.

It is not that difficult to change out the wheels, just need a skate tool.

About 1 in 1000 that attempt it. Deaths reported per year were less than 25 for the years 2008-2011. There may be more in rural areas that go unreported, or are explained as from other causes.

its where two skaters skate together, most of the time its a male and a female, and the male lifts the girl up and they do lifts and routines together. if you live in the UK watch dancing on ice but if you live in the US watch skating with the stars and that's pairs skating :)

It should cost you like 10,000

yea thats me lol

To me, yes the ripstik is soooo much more fun. I love how it rides. It is so much more smooth than a skateboard. I've done both to be honest. i used to skateboard a lot and thought it wuz great until i learned how to ripstik. Then i knew i had to get one. so i got my my first ripstik and i got it in the sweet color blue. i ride it like everyday now and all of my friends have a ripstik too. Me and my friend have made up soo many beast tricks on our ripstiks. not to make fun of the skateboard or anything, its just my opinion.

It depends on how large your foot/skate is, it's usually about the same for the front with the topic and in the back it's longer. That's how all my skates were, at least.
