Ice skating or roller skating??

Question

Which is EASIER? I don't care what you like better, just which one is easier. Only answers from people that have done both please! I just went roller skating a week ago and lets just say...I still have the bruises. I'm not that great. I'm going Ice skating today and just wanted to know which is easier... Thanks!

Answer 1

I would say that roller blading is easier. The skates are far more comfortable.

Answer 2

i hav dun both of dees sports and  i think both are easy but

ice skating is EASIER!!!  

and do whatever u want girl!  

: )

Answer 3

I've done both and I would say ice skating is easiest out of the two as the skates only go anywhere if you actually make them and if you just stand still the blades dig in to the ice and hold you in place. With roller skates they seem to have a mind of their own and will set off before you are ready. I fell down much more roller skating then I ever have on ice.

Answer 4

I honestly think the level of difficultly  depends on the person,,,

I've roller skated since i was little and am really good at it and I have no problem with ice skating... but I know that many of my friends who can ice skate say roller skating is too hard... so you'll really just have to try it out and see... good luck though and have fun!!!

(and i hope you keep trying with the roller skating! yes you'll fall and it's going to hurt but once you get better at it, you'll have lots and lots of fun doing it!!!)

Answer 5

i think roller skating is harder to get used to and when you fall you fall harder

Answer 6

I think it really depends on the person.  I have tried both and I have found ice skating way easier.  I have tried both roller skating and roller blading and I spend most of the time on the ground or clinging to a wall.  On the other hand my best friend can roller blade and roller skate all around town, but she can't ice skate at all.  And then there are those people who can do both without any problems.  I guess it just depends on who you are.  Good luck ice skating.  (Bend your knees it will help your skating a lot).

Answer 7

hmm depends on the person but i think roller blading i've done both but both can be very hard for a person or so so. i tried ice skating for couple years and didn't experience roller blading till two years ago my uncle is a professional roller blader racer and he says if you've tried rollerblading and practice it makes it alittle easier to learn ice skating i feel rollerblading was easier because of the wheels but no doubt ice skating and roller blading are FUN!!

Answer 8

Ok... in my city there's an ice skating rink and there's too a little kind of roller skating rink. I've been on both of them. I practice ice skating. I think the easier sport is roller skating 'cause there's more balance on the wheels. But, many times, you can't compare them 'cause as i said, on roller skating there's more balance on the wheels but in the ice skating when you fall on the ice maybe the "injures" are not gonna hurt you so much or as on the roller skating.

Good luck!!
