Tips for ice skating???

Question

Any tips on how to ice skate??? I've never ice skated before. I can roller blade though.

Answer 1

Its similiar to roller blading, but different at the same time. Make sure when u get on the ice you know how to stop. If you don't,, practice!! Also if you are wearing figure skates[not hockey] be aware there is a toepick. Many people who have used hockey skates beofre and not figure skates arent use to a toepick and it makes them fall alot. Be sure to get your skates sharpened every once in a while, maybe once or twice a month. Another thing is make sure your skates fit. If they are too small they will be hard and uncomfortable to skate in. if they are too big wear socks with them so they stay secure to your feet. My final tip is to have fun, don't worry if you're not the greatest skater out there, you'll catch up fast. =][= Hope I helped!!!

Answer 2

if you can roller blade you will find ice skating really easy. HAVE FUN.

Answer 3

Use the same techniques you use with roller blading.

Ice skating is harder though because Roller blades have thicker wheels and on ice skates, you only have a smaller blade.
