Skating

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.

The oldest pair of (ice) skates known date back to about 3000 B.C., found at the bottom of a lake in Switzerland. The skates were made from the leg bones of large animals, holes were bored at each end of the bone and leather straps were used to tie the skates on. An old Dutch word for skate is "schenkel" which means "leg bone".

By the time a reasonable precursor of hockey came along (originally known as Ijscolf, or Colf on ice), the skates were handcrafted by blacksmiths from iron and/or steel. No two pair were alike as the craftsmen used patterns of their own design. Essentially, the skates consisted of blades of iron and/or steel embedded into blocks of wood which were in turn strapped to the skaters boots with either leather or rope fittings.

there are 1 and a half rotations in a single axle, 2 and a half in a double axle, 3 and a half in a triple axle, and so on.

Not only do you get to show off your talents to people not as good as you, but you get to help people.Sometimes it is a pain because it seems like who ever you are is not learning anything, but they are.Being a coach has many bebefits(including a large paycheck if you decide to go professional)and so does being a volunteer.Volunteers get respect and get to have lots of fun.So when you can try to help out at a local skating rink.

I'm doing a presentation on roller skates and I don't know.

You start by rolling up a ramp and going back down or just plain rolling fakie

Next you set up your feet with one centered on nose and other about 1 inch or so in front of bolts

apply pressure with foot on nose of board and spin your body at the same time, this trick does not require board spin, remember where your head goes your body will follow

-or-

just get going fast fakie and quickly slide your body around in a jerking motion without applying pressure to make that skidding sound revert

In the USA roller derby is really popular, it was brought back in flat track in 2001 by Texas's so in Texas's its pretty popular or Canada but mainly the US unlees your talking about junior roller derby, if so then Canada

Not too sure, but in the movie The Cutting Edge 3: Chasing the Dream, he has a skating double. So there is a professional skater pretending to be him when he is doing more than just moving a little (you can tell when it purposely doesn't show his face for the period of time he's skating that it isn't him)

Half pipe: Tony Hawk

Ramps: Danny Way/Colin Mckay

Street and freestyle: P-rod

Because it is good excercise and healthy for your body.

And also I skate myself and I am totally in love with it! It's really fun because you can go with your friends and family and just have a great time!

They are scattered on the iced surface to stop the ice from melting and slow down the melting.

For ps3 and xbox 360 u get the left analog stick and push it up and leave it when pumping up a ramp flick the left analog stick up and up then let go to get more speed and air. For wii i have no idea.

Oh, dude, in a personal ad, "skate" typically means that the person is looking for someone to hang out with casually, like maybe go grab a coffee or catch a movie. It's not like they're asking you to actually hit the skate park together, although that could be a fun date idea too! So, yeah, if you see "skate" in a personal ad, just know it's more about chilling than shredding some gnarly moves.

The dangers of ice skating is that yu can fall and hurt your self ... yu can break a leg or ankle and way worae

In their local ice rink in Nottingham, they were acquainted, but never imagined they would be paired together when both of their partners quit.
