POLL: Is it easier to ice skate or roller blade?

Jeez, I don't know To me, rollerblading is easier, but that's because I've been rollerblading for 4 years. Well, with ice skating, it's easier to move because the ice is more smooth compared to the pavement you would rollerblade on. SInce the ice is more smooth, it's more slippery, which makes it easier to fall. Most people I know though, think Ice skating is easier because they can't rollerblade

I have been doing both ice skating and roller blading ever since i was about 5 years old. roller blading is much easier. in ice skating, it's basically like u r using roller blades on ice. also, more people know how 2 roller blade than ice skate. So most chances are that u and your friend would go roller blading on friday night, and not ice skating.

I think it's easier to roller blade... Think about it, would you wanna fall on ice or on the sidewalk?...They both probably sound bad but atleast u can practice roller blading in your house or outside hold on the railing with a helmet and knee pads on....but ice skating in public with a helmet and knee pads are probably embarrasing..even though i heard you should fall on you butt on ice so that it wouldnt hurt much....still i think roller blading is probably easier.

Because in ice skating you have to bend your knees, and balance and move forward, and you can easily slip. But with roller blading, you dont need to bend your knees at all times, and its easier to glide without slipping. Theres more grip and wayyy easier to stop

Both are easy. But you can learn how to learn to roller skate a LOT faster. Ice-SKating on the other hand is A LOT more fun!

I think they are both the same difficultly. Sometimes you have to have stronger ankles to iceskate. But it's not a problem for me. I like iceskating better though.

I recently retired from playing hockey and I think if you start skating it is easier, but if you don't then blading is easier.
