Figure skaters: do you know how to roller skate really well?

  • so , i was wondering if most figure skaters know how to roller skate really well because they are such good ice skaters, it seems like the figure skaters would be good roller skaters, ...show more

  • Answer:

    I can roller skate (or rather, inline skate) pretty well because I used to rollerblade before I ice skated. This helped me immensely when I started ice skating - when I got on the ice, I could already skate around confidently. Usually, if you can ice skate you can roller skate, and vice versa. The two use very similar muscles and, while balancing is slightly different, once one adjusts, ice skating and roller skating really aren't that different.

When I was younger I was a reasonably good recreational roller blader. Now I'm a figure skater and can't roller skate or blade, I just fall over.

Nope, I've been a figure skater for close to 6 years. I tried roller blading in the summer and I failed miserably. I wobbled around and fell a lot, because roller blades are nothing like skate blades. :) Happy Holidays!

Not at all. I fail at roller skating. I can barely even push properly, and I can't stop or do anything beyond skate in a straight line. But I can skateboard rather well :) I find rollerblading hard because you don't stop the same way you do on skates.

Well, I can do crossovers on inline roller skates and I was able to skate on one foot, and my friend and I were doing dips and spirals and lunges and stuff, but the roller skating place didn't have any roller skates that weren't inline, plus we didn't want to hurt ourselves, so I don't know if we could have done jumps. There's a kid in my city who plays roller hockey and does roller derby in addition to figure skating (and he's good, he has a triple toeloop!) and ice hockey. So clearly he's talented, and can roller skate well.

I used to figure skate when I was little, but I suck at rollerskating!
