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 :)

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 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.

it would depend on how big you would want it to be! Hope it helps!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Steel ball bearings.

Yes he has 2 sons, Jack and Sam aged 13 and 10.

on what console?

The most expensive pair of shoes ever made are by Stuart weitzman and they're 1.8 million dollars.

Complete all the Thrasher challenges and the Snakestyle shootout challenge and the monster open challenge. The monster open challenge is at the monster clubhouse which you can purchase under property for 200,000

It depends on the skills of the player. Hitting and Trapping are basic but overall the most difficult moves a field hockey player will attempt would be either a tomahawk (backhanded hit), or a drag flick.

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. :)
