How good are you at ice skating?

Can you..

. Stop (On both feet?)
. T Stop (feet positioned in a T)
. Inside edge stop (like the T-Stop but without the front foot).
. Heel stop (Using both heels to stop - NOT for the faignt hearted)
. Backwards spray (Like the front stop, but backwards) Also on one foot?
. Crossover FLUENTLY both sides around the rink
. Backwards crossover (like the above!)
. Barrel Roll
. Grapevine
. Polo
. Turn tight (both sides)


And what skates does everybody have? As mentioned in a previous thread, i've got 5k white pumps (because I play hockey and 50 quid skates just don't cut it).

I've made all the stuff I can do bold. Could you explain what the others are in more detail please? :)

I can barely go foward.

I like ice skating, it's the only time in the day I get a nice little rest sitting down.

Looks fun but I can't ice skate at all and honestly have never tried.

i can barely let go of the side.

i love ice-skating, but i dont understand half the things up there. i aint a pro, just do it for fun!

I've never been ice skating.

I'm pro at it I can go fast lol.

I can do most of those on normal skates. I used to play inline hockey, which is just ice hockey indoors with posh skates lol. Havn't played in four years though since i moved to spain.

I'm not bad at ice skating but last time i went i did fracture my wrist after trying to show off - it went wrong, lol!
But once again i havn't been ice skating as over here thy aren't clever and the last time they got an ice rink out it melted!! Lol

Oh well!

Your wrist must hurt then. When I recently when I never fell once, UNTIL my friend pushed me then I did.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I3zRVaaESQ - Grapevine (Shown on inlines)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRvfy-qfLHQ - This dude claims to have been skating a few months, he's really good but I seem to think that he must have been inline skating for a long while.

cant do anything I'm rubbish :(

I've never been :P

i can probably do some stuff up there but without knowing im doing it lmao
i just skate and do stuff

The barrel roll looks hard.

Easy mate.. even easier on inlines!

I've never been ice-skating :( Would love to go though

just normal, not too slow, not too fast.
i wana be pro!
