Is figure skating harder than hockey?

There is really no correct answer to this question. It depends on what each person thinks. Figure skating is hard because you've got to be able to twirl and then stop twirling and not get dizzy, and also executing jumps perfectly. In hockey, you have to be able to slam into players and continue on, and focus on a small puck while focusing on keeping it under you control.

---

In my experience, figure skaters tend to be able to beat hockey players in races, but hockey is a game in and of itself, which skating is only a part of, however, figure skaters are usually better skaters, but you could be the best skater in the world and still not good at playing on a team, handling a puck, etc.

Why skiing and skating not popular in Britain?

Because there's nowhere to really do either of those things in England. There are six ski resorts in all England and the longest run at any of them is only 650 meters long - short enough that you're at the bottom of the hill before it gets fun. And there aren't bodies of water that freeze hard enough to skate on. English people who like to ski - and there are many of them - just get on a ferry or the Eurostar train, go to Continental Europe, and travel to one of the countries in the Alps, where they have long ski runs.

What are some of the spins in figure skating?

When you begin to spin in figure skating, you would begin with a two foot spin. You then would move onto a one foot spin.

Sit spins, Camel spins, Laybacks, and Back (scratch) spin are more of the basic of those harder spins and to create a combination spin, you combine basic spins with variations.

Why is there a CCM label on the tongue of my RBK ice skates?

CCM is a Canadian company that originally built bicycles, but in 1905 began building hockey skates followed by other hockey equipment as well. In more recent years CCM acquired other hockey equipment companies such as KOHO and JOFA. In 2004 CCM was acquired by Rebok who also kept the KOHO and JOFA names as well. The CCM and KOHO logos are still used on Rebok hockey equipment for tradition's sake, as they are known brands. On a side note Adidas purchased Rebok in 2006, so future versions of the skates could be multi-branded.
