How do you tell if you should buy E or D ice skates?
hockey skate sizes work with numbers and letters. the letter indicates the width of the skate. E is a wider skate than D. In any case you should always try on hockey skates before buying them to make sure they fit comfortably. Many hockey stores will have microwaves to help mould skates to fit your feet. If you buy skates online make sure you try on skate sizes at a local store to know for sure what size you are.
Is a mike Crum skateboard a good skateboard?
I assume its a world industries board? They used to be top of the range boards until they sold out * years ago and started making cheaper boards. the quality of the board is not what it used to be and the market for them has fell, and so you are better off going with another company if your looking for a great deck. If you just want a starter board then it's probably fine.
How long has figure skating been around?

Do hockey players learn figure skating?
No, they learn power skating and balancing. they learn to skate in all directions and manners with strong emphasis on balance,stability
and speed. Figure skating implies grace and artistic form, both of which are not necessary for hockey players and aren't taught to any hockey player I've ever seen
Generally, hockey players do not learn figure skating. But that is not strictly true. Some professional hockey coaches have hired figure skaters to teach the weaker skaters to cut figures on the ice both clockwise and counterclockwise. The purpose of cutting these figures is to bring about improved balance (most players are weaker at turning in one direction than the other) thereby producing quicker acceleration and reducing falls.
You get what you pay for. Expensive skates are usually worth the money, however cheaper skates are usually pretty good too.
Note: They're made in China, so its unlikely the build quality will approach handmade custom skates from the United States, Canada, Japan, Netherlands and such.
Is it okay to ice skate when you have a concussion?
No, I am very sorry, but it is best not to ice skate when you have a concussion. One person's confusion can mislead them on the ice, and can cause serious injuries to one already with a concussion and those around him or her. This can also damage the actual rink, leading to costly bills and expenses. Unless you want mild injuries, I suggest you avoid ice skating if you have a concussion.
Is Dmitri Kazarlyga a good free style figure skating coach?

If youre looking for a good choreo/ice dance/moves in the field coach- he's your guy!
