Skating

You push with your back foot. An ollie is done by pretty much jumping, but it's like a lay up in basketball. You jump with your back leg. then after you learned the ollie, you flick your foot and do different moves to do different tricks.
The skateboard works by being a strong, yet durable piece of wood that is easy to ride on if you get one from a professional skateshop. The trucks are responsible for holding the wheels in place while at the same time being turnable, so that's how you move your board. if you want to turn left, for example, what you do is lean to your left. The wheels, well, i think you know what those do

Figure skating is a winter sport that takes place on a sheet of ice. Figure skaters wear skates made usually of a leather boot with a metal blade attached on each foot. There are three main figure skating events: Singles, Pairs, and Ice Dance. For Singles, there is a separate male and female event.

In Singles, skaters perform two programs, a short program and a long program. In each, the skater must complete elements such as jumps and spins, and is judged on how well they are performed and the artistic quality of the performance.

In Pairs, a male and female skater perform together, and must complete elements similar to singles. Some differences include that there are 'throw' jumps that must be completed in addition to side-by-side jumps, and lifts. Pairs is generally considered the most difficult figure skating event. Pairs are required to compete in a short and long program as well. They are judged on how well the jumps and spins are performed, the artistic quality, and the unison of the skaters in jumps, spins, and footwork sequences.

Ice dance is very similar to ballroom dancing, except on ice. There are no jumps or throws performed, and the lifts cannot be overhead. There are three programs needed to be shown- the Compulsories, the Original Dance, and the Free Dance. Skaters are judged on mostly artistic quality, as well as unison.

Tara Lipinski started to roller skate in1985 and started to ice skate in1988

Figure skating dresses can be quite expensive and range from 30-200 US dollars. If you are only looking to buy a practice dress then the price range you should be looking at is $30-$100 whereas in actual competition you may consider buying a more expensive dress.

Basically the ice is24-26 F and the building is 63 F, but several other factors take effect on temperatures. Like humidity (inside), outdoor temperature when it gets inside, and others. 1-2 degrees change can make a big difference. It has to keep being changed to stay within a certain temperature and humidity.

when cricket players make the ball swing 1 side is shined if the left side is shined then it swings in to the right handed bats and the rough hits the floor more friction makes the ball swing as the rough side will grip the pitch therefore keeping the seam straight

You can be any age, as you will be playing (if you choose to do so) against people of a similar age range. Most regions have tournaments at friendly level starting at Under 10, with Masters hockey accommodating the 50+ ages.

For better ability to turn and for faster travel

The sport of speed skating is a fast paced international game that has an Olympic berth in the Winter games. The countries that typically participate in speed skating are Germany, Holland, the United States, South Korea, Russia, China, Italy, Canada, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Australia, Great Britain, and many other nations around the world.

If you mean a jump, it could refer to any of the 360 degree rotation jumps (single salchow, toe-loop, loop, flip, or lutz). If you mean a turn without leaving the ice it could be a single rotation twizzle (a turn that rotates and travels down the ice continuously on one foot) or, if it's on two feet: a turn that is generally referred to simply as a "360". Hope this answered your question.

I learned on Roller blades, but Roller Skates are best, since it is easier to learn. But, in my opinion, roller blades are more fun, so if you learn on skates, try blades afterwards.

Hope this helps!

You can do tricks, skate, hold on to the back of cars, punch (attack) people until their is a red arrow over them, then you run away because they will attack you and break your leg. Instead of dieing you break legs or just randomly fall over

depending on brand and type, ski blades, or snow blades can range from the size of your foot to 3 feet approx.

They use china wood witch is soft not the beat type of wood

People get points in Figure Skating depending on how difficult the jump, spin, footwork, etc. is. If it is really easy then they won't get any points. Hope that this answers your question.

At full strength, each team has 6 players on the ice (5 skaters and a goalie). However, when a team commits a penalty, the violating player must leave the ice for a specified amount of time (2 minutes for a minor penalty and 5 minutes for a major penalty). That player sits in the penalty box. There is no limit to how many players a team can have in the penalty box at one time (other than the 20 players they are allowed to dress), but a team can only be a maximum of 2-men down at one time. That means that, if both teams have 2 or men in the box at one time (and they aren't concurrent penalties), there can be as few as 8 players on the ice at one time (3 skaters per side and a goalie for each team as goalies don't serve their own penalties). There can be no less than that.

there is no age limit

Well, this all does depend on what you think good figure skating is. If you are talking about Olympic, World and International standard it takes years and years of training. If you are talking Country standard it will take at least several years. If you are talking just being able to do good amount of jumps e.g. 3 jump to axel to double salchow, a good amount of spins and spinning speed and able to do many edge work movements this may take a few years and if you just talking being able to skate forwards, backwards, do little 3 jump and slow 2 foot spin this may only take a year or year and half.

Ross Rebagliati became a household name in 1998 when he won the first ever Olympic gold medal for snowboarding! Whenever you think of snowboarding you think of Ross Rebagliati. Ross is current a coach of his own RASTA camps (Rebagliati Alpine Snowboard Training Academt). www.RossRebagliati.com. The most well-known snowboarder would have to be Shaun White, but he is NOWHERE near the best snowboarder. He is the Poster Child of one of the biggest company's "Burton", and he gets basically all the media attention at competitions and in commercials.

Speed skating is based on skating for speed, not style. Figure skating is the opposite, as it skates for style and not always speed.

Speed skating requires:

-Lower cut boot, almost like a shoe

-Longer blades than artistic skaters

-the objective is to go fast, not to impress the judges

Figure skating:

-based on competing in a number of levels and elements

-consists of jumps, spins and footwork

-artistry and difficulty are considered when judging

-higher cut boot

-regular length blade, but with a toe pick and edges

The roots of ice skating date back over 1,000 years to the frozen canals and waterways of Scandinavia and the Netherlands when men laced animal bones to their footwear and glided across frozen lakes and rivers.

There is a trail left behind; it is only as wide as the sharp end of the blade.

This trail can be seen quite easily if the ice is somewhat illuminated, or if viewed from an angle. For example, watch some Olympic or world championship skating on television (even ice hockey will do) and you can clearly indentify the many scratches in the ice surface,
