It depressed him because his mother sent them a few days before he got kicked out of Pencey. She also got him the wrong kind, Hockey instead of racing, and that depressed him also.

Yes however most parks build cater for bmx's

Friction and gravity.

The skater, Chris Cole, was born in 1983 and started skateboarding at the age of 8, the year was 1991.

Richmond has a Long Track 400m speed skating oval, created for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

more than 100 dollars

It all depends on what level you are... I'm at freestyle 8 and my skates cost about $800.. you can check at local rinks to see what prices they offer... that would be the best thing to do.

PrActice and ride with people that are better than you that will help you learn

I am a figure skater myself and i have seen all different sizes of figure skaters on the ice! It doesnt matter what kind of body shape u have or size! Lets be honest it would be harder for a larger size person or a taller person to get themselves off the ice and into the air in many jumps such as ( Axel, Double sow, Double toe, Double loop, Double flip, Double axel, and tripple jumps). Most of the girls i see skating are small and short but there is some taller girls and larger girls aswell. I think no matter the shape size and Height of your body, i think if u keep your mind set on your goal (eg. landing a jump/ learning a spin) you can accomplish anything! That go's for all sports and activities!

Hope this helped :-)

Every winter, eight kilometers of the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada are cleared and it is billed as the world's largest skating rink but some winters in Holland, if it gets cold enough to freeze, they have an ice skating race over about 124 miles of canals and waterways so I'm not sure which would technically qualify as the longest. If you wanted to skate the entire Rideau Canal system, it might be that long but I'm not sure if you could do it without having to climb over some locks.

Wheels on skateboard can be as little as 50mm and go as big as 70mm (longboard wheels) and the softness rating verys. Smaller wheels are better for flip tricks, while bigger wheels are better for ramps and cursing . Harder wheels are better for tricks, while softer wheels are better for multi terrain cursing. What you want to do is figure out what you want to do on your skateboard (your skate style), from there you can choose the wheels that works best for you. Note for bigger wheels you are going to put risers on your board to prevent wheel bite.

None. Its not exactly a dangerous sport in terms of death, unless you try to ice skate on a not-so-frozen lake or something :)None. Its not exactly a dangerous sport in terms of death, unless you try to ice skate on a not-so-frozen lake or something :)

When you bought the game, it should have come with a small leaflet in the box. (Like every single xbox game does, like a sort of guide) On the back of this guide, there's a code.. Enter in when it asks you to purchase a pack which allows you to download parks in the skate.create - skate.parks - communal parks section.

Hope I've helped.

if you are playing it on the ps3 press l2 r2 l3 r3 down all at the same time (l3 and r3 are the analog sticks)

if you are playing it on the xbox 360 press lt rt and the two analog sticks all at the same time while in the air and you will bail off your skateboard

You use mostly your leg muscles and your abs. It all depends on what trick your doing.

There are three basic types of ice skates: hockey skates, figure skates, and speed skates.

Ice skates are constructed of leather, nylon, plastic, steel, and various other synthetic materials

Knit nylon and molded plastic are commonly used for hockey and speed skates.

The leather and nylon are specially treated for water-resistance.

Blades are generally made of tempered steel and coated with a high-quality chrome, though some blade manufacturers may add titanium to the metal.

4 The boot is shaped by placing it on a last, which is a plastic foot form corresponding to a particular shoe size and width.

First an insole is tacked onto the last.

Then the boot is pulled tight, by hand, over the bottom of the last.

A worker then makes sure that all wrinkles are eliminated, working from the arch to the heel then from the arch to the toe.

Tacks or cement adhere the arch, heel, and toe to the insole.

The boot, still stretched over the last, is placed into a drying chamber.

Heat is applied to set the boot to the length and width of the last.

The boot is placed upside down on a peg under an electric grinder to remove the leather finish from the boot bottom.

The grinding process causes a crevice to form across the middle of the boot bottom where the foot's natural arch occurs.

This crevice is packed with a synthetic filler and an 18-gauge spring-steel arch support shank.

A leather or rubber sole is then attached to the boot with a urethane base cement.

The heel (where applicable) is constructed by gluing square stacks of leather or water-repellent fiberboard on top of each other.

The heel is glued onto the boot and then six to ten long nails are driven through the heel, outsole, and insole.

Finally, the heel is trimmed and smoothed.

The sole and heel plates of the blade are lined up with the sole and heel area of the boot bottom.

A worker then screws the blade onto the boot using a high-speed drill on a foot-powered press.

Only a few of the screws are inserted into the boot; the remainder are packaged with the ice skates. This allows the skater to adjust the blade as necessary before the remaining screws are inserted and tightened.

However, the blades of skates fitted with rubber soles are permanently attached with rivets.

The completed skate is hand-polished and sprayed with a solution to make it shine. Laces are threaded through the eyelets.

The skates are then boxed for shipping.

Concrete tilt slabs are created with internal copper piping that will be used to circulate glycol at 14 degrees below zero. The slabs (walls) are stood upright anywhere from vertical, to overhanging, or slightly sloped for easy angle. Bondor panels are put together to create a surrounding freezer, usually with a viewing window. Fans in the ceiling circulate air usually at -10 degrees C in the ice forming stage and then -4 degrees C when climbing. The glycol is turned on to circulate and chill the concrete, water is sprayed on as a thin film. Icemakers (like a vending machine but way bigger) produce chipped ice that is feed through a machine that grinds it up in a spinning motion (think of a turbo impellor), and blows it out a hose onto the wall, water is added in the mix after ejection to help it stick. Most walls are at least 10 metres high and the "snow" does not reach the top. Therefore instructors must put the wet snow mix in buckets and pack the snow by hand sitting hanging in bosen chairs (like window washers). After about 6 hours the snow hardens to ice (but not as hard as glacier ice). Once it is over 30cm thick it is ready to be climbed. Hand packing allows features to be added such as bumps and bulges etc. Blair Campbell, ex indoor ice climbing instructor www.hukawai.co.nz

It really depends on a number of factors. There are thinks such as body weight, normalcy (how often you do it), the speed at which you go, and general physical condition that all tie into how many callories you burn. For the avg. person weighting around 150lbs, averaging 10 mph it would be a little more than 500 calories per hour. Someone who weighs about 120lbs would only burn about 300 calories and someone who weighs 200lbs would burn about 650.
