Most of us here are "ice" figure skaters . . . the technique of course is a bit different from rollerskating (especially spins!). You might try a rollerskating forum for real technical questions.

Reply:I roller skate. not roller blading. i am very good at going forwards. i skate for hour and don't fall down, and there is not a roller skating category sorry this was the closest category. i was the asker. i want to know how to go faster backwards Report It

Reply:im a pro skater. (i wish) lol. but i can do some basic moves. it takes practice, practice, practice. you need to push backwards to go forwards and vica versa. have your skates at a bit of an otwards angle, this will give you more control and make you go faster.


to spin you have to push of your outer skate and keep the inner one still. kind of like a maths compass.
Reply:myspace.com/skate101com. check out this myspace. Jenny teaches people how to skate using music. Also go to http://www.skatefm.com then in the bottom right corner click on learn to jamskate. this will show you some of the things you can do on roller skates that you COULD NEVER DO on ice skates. skating backwards, try this, stand with your feet a little bigger than shoulder with apart. Keeping both skates on the floor, weave your skates in and out so that the line on the ground forms an hourglass shape. eventually, the more power you give to the curves, the faster you can go. If you are having problems, concentrate on moving your weight from the inside of your skate wheels to the outside and back. make sure the trucks of your skates have been loosened, as it will greatly help in your ability to maneuver in this drill. When you say spin, do you mean how do you turn around?180 degree turn- front to back. skating at a neutral pace, place your right foot out in front and transfer your weight to it. Lift your left foot off the ground and place it behind your right with the toe facingbackwards ( your heels will be almost touching) . In one movement as your right skate hits the ground, let your left skate come off the floor as you pick it up and turn around so that it also faces the back. The best way to learn to skate is go to a rink so you can see other people skate. Front crossover, As you are coming around the curve,push off with your right foot and transfer your weight to your left foot. As you glide on your left foot, cross your right foot over and in front of your left and transfer your weight back to your right and then reset for another one. Remember there are 2 pushes in a crossover-one from the initial lift-off of the right foot( normal counter clockwise direction) and a toe-flick push from the left foot towards the out side.

Reply:uuuuu.... do u meen ROLLER skating? if u do, this shouldn't be pasted on ICE/FIGURE skating! it shouldn't even be pasted on winter sports! and by the way, ie skating rocks!!! wayyyyyy better than roller skating, inline skating, hockey skating, and speed skating!!!!! ice/figure skating is my life!!! and i have my own gorgeous skates!!!! and i'm proud of it! and you can barely do anything on roller skates except skating froward! you can't do any trick that your can do in ice skating!!!
Reply:It's much easier to these things on ice (which is the category). Since your on roller blades, you have separate wheels that all have minds of their own. It's easier on ice skates on the ice, because you've got a singular blade, which is moving smoothly on the ice. Try ice skating, you might find it a lot easier.





P.S. you will find things much more helpful if you pst your question in the correct category. This is the ice skating category, so your question is going to be answered mostly by ice skaters.
