@@IceCoachOnline I'm so glad you said that, I was yelling at my screen watching that bit 😆 thanks for the review, I've been trying to get some inline figure skates, this is good to know!
@@IceCoachOnline Inline figure skating is an actual sport! The skates have 3 wheels and 'toe pick' at the front, snow whites are super light weight and easier to move with :)
😂 Well I have been ice skating for 26 years, I think it helped a bit! But I did go on autopilot and try an do a hockey stop, almost killing myself 🤦♂️
@@Lu-dm7rn the feeling was quite different! It's more about see what I can do on them compared to what I can do on the ice. Ice skating is of course much easier to me! Part 2 of the video releases tonight and I try to push them further.
Thanks ☺️ well we didn't have any pads or gloves to use! We were careful though as the floor we were skating on was very rough! Like ice skating after a hockey match 😂
Brighter Horizons Scary. I’m always amazed that figure skaters don’t wear pads on ice. I’m a big tough ice hockey player (irony alert) and you wouldn’t see me on the ice without pads, not even during public skating sessions.
The only thing I would say is always use protection when outside on the road. A fall on the ice you would normally get straight up from with no injurys can lead to ripped up skin incredibly easily. I have snow white skates and am teaching myself to figure skate since on the isle of man we only have a small rink in the winter, I was amazed when I ice skated last winter at how much less falls hurt 😂😂
I have been nervous of falling on the rough concrete and ripping up my skin! Did you find your skating was a lot better after practicing in your snow whites?
@@IceCoachOnline I had never really ice skated before I got my snow whites! I had always admired figure skaters but the winter rink here is so small that even when I did go it was to busy to try anything other than an occasional spin! I had normal inlines and was always frustrated that I couldnt pull of figure skating moves... getting my snow whites was the best decision I have ever made, snow white skates are so good and light weight it didnt take me long to learn alot of basic tricks in them!! I have never tried any other brand off inline figures but I dont feel I need to snow whited are so natural. When I did go to the winter rink this past winter I discovered I could indeed pull off alot of the tricks I had learnt on my snow whites!
@@Aspen_Husky great comment! Thanks for sharing! It's amazing to hear that your practice in the snow. Whites allowed you to drastically improve your on ice skating. I am jealous that you said they are light weight! The ones that I tried are very very heavy!
@@IceCoachOnline I've heard that alot about the skates you have tried, they are more like normal recreational skates in terms of the weight which I do own a pair of still so I know what that's like to try and pull actual tricks off in, great for speed skating tho! I highly recommend you try out snow whites if you ever have the budget to, I ordered mine from a shop in Italy with free shipping and mounted them to a pair of second hand edea overtures so overall it didnt come to that much considering how amazing they are!
@@Aspen_Husky I have plenty of of old risport skates I can mount them on fortunately! I'll try and borrow come off a friend so I can shoot a video about them! 👍 Thanks for the info!
Ice Coach Online , I did... The company was only selling the roller part if you bought higher end boots to mount. I usually wear Riedell Silver Star... but I wanted something with much less support for this🤣 I ended up getting Bronze Star cause my only other choice was Edea Pianos 😮
Anastasia is my girlfriend and skating partner! Fortunately she also agreed to share some of her fantastic off ice knowledge with everyone from her 15 years of Ballet training!
I took figure skating lessons when I was little, like between the ages of 7-9. Was able to do a few simple turns and jumps and stuff but never continued past that, but I've always been comfortable on ice skates. And when I was little, translating ice skating to rollerblading was easy and I was able to do a lot of the same (simple) stuff on rollerblades. Now about 20 years later, even though I only skate like once or twice a year recreationally, it's like riding a bike. Super natural, super comfortable. But putting on roller skates again after nearly two decades? Death.
Lol! The end of your comment made me laugh out loud literally! Perhaps it would be so bad for you if you made sure you put roller blades on and then went skating on the correct surface 😁 unlike us in this video 😂
sorry, you’re not an olympic skater. not even a figure skater. no skater would have the DISRESPECT to wear their skates on concrete. you sir, are a monster. jokes aside (or were they?) great video. where did you get the skates from?
😂 Don't worry, they blades we so worn down and used that I was more concerned about damaging the concrete than the blades 😁 I got them from "off-ice skates". Through these comments I have learned that there are various different equivalents in the US and Europe that go by different names too! Such as snow whites and pic skates.
Ice Coach Online thankyou for the reply! i think i’m going to buy these as i’m from the uk and more off ice training couldn’t hurt my skating. thankyou for a good and honest review! :)
@@lunarose7490 you're welcome! I will add to my honest review and say that mine are pretty trashed after about 2 hours of skating spread out one 1 week! I question whether they are intended for indoor use🤔
Luna Rose if you want skates like that that are good for outdoor use skate hut is your best bet. Free delivery and they’re uk based. Probably different to what was used in the vid but it can’t hurt having a look. I’m a roller skater not an ice skater tho so take everything with a pinch of salt
Inline figure skates are much more like ice figure skates than quads. Inline figure skates have a toe pick & a rockered frame so the edges work in a very similar way. Quads have a toe pick but not the same edges.
@@maryomahony3550 thanks for sharing this information! I also found the to be a very accurate representation of the figure skate. I do fancy giving quads a go just to see what it's like. Maybe I'll get some cheap ones and make a video about them 🤔
Mary O'Mahony Look up the videos of the professional roller skaters using the quads. They do all the same stuff we do, and you never see any of them doing doubles and triples using inline roller skates. It is SO COOL!!!
As someone who taught figure skating in my high school years I find rollers are much, much harder. Its easy to glide but stopping is incredibly hard, at least for me, on rollerblades. Skating it's so easy to stop. These guys are doing incredibly well for first time! I couldn't even do the pirouette stuff they were doing on rollerblades even after 20x of doing it so props!
It is much harder, but I am also very biased as I have ice skated for 27 years and inline skated for a few hours. Stopping is very different in them as you mention, you can do hockey stops etc. But the technique is not the same at all!
Thats so interesting! I've been roller blading for a while and when I took ice skating lessons they were very suprised I havent ice skated before. I think the hard thing is with ice skates you use the inner blade, outer blade, toe pick, and the center, but with roller blades you need to stay on the center. Idk. Now i have a easier time ice skating then roller blading.
Ive been rollerblading since I was 4, my first time ice skating I got it down in a hour, even self thought myself to skate backwards. Its amazing how similar yet different the 2 are
I've got a pair of these myself, but not a huge fan. Takes a lot of getting used to. One thing to be careful of is that it's easy to fall backwards if you accidentally lean that way due to the wheel on the rear rather than the heel of a blade.
100% correct! I did exactly that fall when I first put them on. I was really disappointed I didn't catch it on camera! It was right at the end of the videos as I was packing up my equipment 😭
I did this the other way round from speed roller skate to ice skate when i was 7(started roller skate when i was 4 or 5 i can't remember). I was amazed that i could skate on ice straight away without any problem at all 😇
I would love to skate on something better! That was quite a rough surface too. I think I have found a much smoother car park for next time at a closed down restaurant!😁 A sports hall is the dream for when the lockdown is over 👍
It amazes me how quickly you adapted to four wheels! I'm looking forwards to seeing you do some spins (smooth cement or a timber roller rink floor will help with the speed of you spins). Thanks for your video!!!!
I have something like these, too and it's super scary. First of all they're double the weight (I've checked), you're standing higher! Then yes streets and car parks aren't flat so the rain doesn't gather. And the surface is often terrible. BUT I hear from my fellow skater that if you use them as supposed to - in a sport hall - it's supposedly way more similar to being on ice. I also didn't exactly see how yours are constructed but Snow Whites are constructed in a way that the middle wheel is lower than the rest, so you have the typical curve and a "sweet spot" Coach, please be a good example. Don't go without helmet and guards. It's not the ice. By own experience ice is way way way more safe!!! When you fall you'll slide. On the street you'll very quickly not only have ruined clothing and skin torn off! You're also likely to have nasty stuff in the wound etc.! I usually have to bring a broom to the top no-roof-floor of a parking house to first get rid of the tiny stones (left from winter and brought in by cars). Doing that without them jumping around and hitting any cars. Luckily my place has a section that's usually completely emptied out until night. Don't forget sunscreen if you carry on. It's too easy to lose track of time. 🤣 Another useful advice if you carry on: You need to regularly turn the wheels around. They usually get used up on one side more. Like this they'll wear down evenly and last longer. 😉
Hi Kat, Great comment! Apologies for the delay in replying, I wanted to make sure I gave it the time it deserves! You're right about the weight of these! They are very heavy! Especially when I attached them to my old SP Teri Super Deluxe skates. Overall, they weight over 5kg! My risports with John Wilson Gold Seals attached are around 2kg. So a massive difference there. Mine are constructed in a similar way, but with more wheels. I wonder how this affects finding the sweet spot for tuns and spins? I did contact all of the off ice skating companies to see if they wanted to sponsor this video, so I could compare these off ice solutions. Unfortunately, nobody was interested in sponsoring the video, so I ended up buying s pair of the easiest ones I could get my hands on in the UK. I would have bought all of them, but I just don't have the budget for it. You are right about the saftey equipment! But we needed to get the video filmed before we were put on lockdown in the house! Bringing the broom with you is a great idea! Like your own mini off ice zamboni 😂 Thanks for the turning the wheels around advice! We did question the durability of the wheels when we were dragging our foot going down the hill. We figured they might not last too long! Hopefully replacements are cheap enough. Thanks again for the fantastic comment!
@@IceCoachOnline Ah, yeah the lock down! Here in Germany we're half on lock down already, but you can go outside for sports and a walk alone or with ppl of the same household. Ofcourse we are to keep a distance from others while doing so. I did wonder about the models, too. Mine are 3 wheel and there were 4 wheel options. I somehow thought they'd probably be lighter with less wheels and it seemed the latest model when I got them. Maybe someone with more experience with different models will appear in the comment section at some point. The budget is really an issue. They're very expensive indeed. And it's a bad time for companies and hence sponsorships, too. However at least in Germany, when I checked, the replacement wheels aren't expensive. You can take any of them as long as you get the right size (there are a few standard sizes), though I suppose there's ofcourse a difference in them. Things like softness (less durable but more grip). Because these are constructed for halls they have white wheels (no streaks) but outside more durable wheels might make more sense. Didn't test that yet. There are people to be found on social media training jumps with these. I thought I'd simply go ask them for advice when the time for replacements comes around. 😁 Hope you stay healthy and sane. I can imagine it's harder for you to stay inside than for me. You guys are used to your daily dose of movement. I'm a real bookworm that somehow ended up enjoying figure skating too much to refrain from it 😂 Big difference!
@@KxNOxUTA that makes a lof of sense about the softness of wheels giving more grip. One of the main things I struggled With was not managing to grip properly when pushing and trying to do deep edges like I would do on the ice. It was a bit like skating on blades that need a good sharpen! We are finding ways to stay sane by making videos, hopefully inspiring others in the process. Stay safe and thanks again for youur great comments!
@Emily Su I've seen people spin properly on them and jump properly with them. You can simply check Instagram for #artisticinlineskating. SnowWhites are easy to spot and often mentioned, too. I've been asking experienced ppl all these questions, too, before getting mine. Unfortunately I can't share my own experience, yet. Spinning doesn't work well for me even on ice even 🤣 It still makes me way too sick. I won't try before it doesn't work on my spinner at least.
Me being a person who roller skates often I like seeing this and how the difference makes people look at certain aspects of them differently and the fact that all of can look super elegant no matter who you are as long as you like it and you try it out you know
From the sound of the wheels on the ground they are probably pretty hard. This allows them to do things like slide stop but makes them risky to push hard into. Softer more compliant wheels would grip better.
I'm a inline speed skater and damn, respect to you figure skaters, all i know is how to do is sprint and do crossovers, i can't imagine the complexity of all the movement you do
It's pretty awesome to see how fast you guys picked up roller skating, I did it the other way around (switched from inline speed to ice speed skating two years ago) so it's cool to watch it from the other perspective ;)
Despite being a novice inline skater, I can still give you a great tip. It's really helpful. Ditch the Black and Decker power drill. I've had two, never again. The chuck is rubbish. Invest in a decent drill, like a DeWalt. Way better. Happy skating.
This is my first time on your channel and at 1:10 you: "time to grab anesthesia and see what we can do with them" me: "fair enough" you: "this is us skating on ice!" me: "ohhh it's Anastasia!" *facepalm*
I have been inline skating for a couple of years and this guy is just doing the crazyest things in minutes. At least i know how to break that made me feel a little better.
As an inline skater I think you guys did well, but If you are interested in getting some skates I highly recommend the FRX 80 from Seba, they roll really well just out of the box and if you decide to try slalom you can slightly rocker them.
Just saw you did elaborate 😅 they are supposed to be an off ice version of ice skates. Since posting this video I have learned loads of great information from roller skaters and inline skaters including the point that technically these aren't roller skates 🤦♂️my bad with the name! How do you go about rocketing them? Do you change the wheel sizes?
Omg you two are helping me get through this boredom! Thank you for your info and humor. Made my day!😂 And you are both gorgeous skaters, ice and roller.
@@iammar1159 Roller skates are typically used to refer to ‘quad skates’ which is when all four aren’t in a straight line. Roller blades which they have in the video have the wheels all aligned in one straight line, which resemble a blade.
I already knew the answer to the question from the start. I've been a casual inline skater for 6ish years, and although I'm certainly not the best ice skater, I can make do.
Glad you watched the video anyway! The goal was to take people through the experience of us trying it out for the first time. Hopefully everyone found it entertaining! We had a lot of fun making it 🙂
Lloyd. Gotta say we’ll done lately on your videos. Excellent energy, great to watch and you are a natural in front of the camera and very funny. Keep up the great work. Hope you are doing okay. Stew x
I recently discovered I can stop better with this t-stop by holding my ankle upright and using my inner thigh muscles more to slow down quicker! Now the wheels are completely worn out 🤷♂️
Im actually gonna cry. Ive been roller blading since I was 4 and competitive speed skating since I was 14. You make my years of hard work look so easy ;-;;;
I found an abandoned McDonald's car park that is a lot smoother and a lot easier to skate on! It's still small, I want to find the place where artistic roller skaters practice and go there to try!
I am not a professional figure skater but I have tried these off-ice skates and also a pair of “Snow white” off ice skates and found that the snow whites are much better in terms of the design as the “toe pick” does not break off easily when utilizing it for jumps. Also the wheels are much bigger and hence reduces the impact of the rough and unsmooth surface of the tarmac. It is worth trying those out if you like figure skating off ice for additional practice.
Great insight into your experience with them! This is something I cover in the second part of this video actually! In about 2 hours of skating they are about finished. I have been promised replacements, but this is an important point that I will bring up in the next vid! Thanks for sharing your experiences 🙂
well that was really interesting. always fun to see people qualified on one subject tries other subject that in basic principles arent that different, but still has enough "individuality" that makes people stumbling around on it. 😝
@@mophead_xu thanks for the nice comment 🙂 Some of the comments are hilarious, I enjoy chatting with people here. It also gives me great feedback so the next video can be even better! I made a second video like this one, I'm going to release it Wednesday night. I hope everyone enjoys it too, and of course I'll be in the comments section chatting to people 😁
I learned to skate on quads. In the 1990s I switched to ice. The part that always felts funny on ice was the lack of drag. Ice is so fast 💨. Also I had gotten so used warmer temperatures. I first learned to have control over my skating before venturing outside. The skating backwards in ice felt so natural. Thanks for showing us how well you did ❤️❤️
Watch "MAMA 2020 ENHYPEN Performance". One of the group member, Park Sunghoon, was a professional figure skater before he became an idol. Although he did not skate on concrete, he did it on the LED stage. Many people was confused at first whether he was trully skating on an ice or what because of his graceful moves but later on many concluded that he was indeed on roller skates, and the rink was an LED stage instead of an ice. 😁
I'm a quad roller skater and I've always heard that is much more easier for roller skaters to transition to ice skate than to ice skaters to transition to roller skate. I haven't been many times to an ice rink but the last time it was on Christmas. At first it was weird but after two hours I could do some spins, footwork, and jumps. I really like the speed that the ice gives. The movements are much more fluid.
That's interesting to hear, I want to try quad skating next. When I get my hands on some, i'll make a video similar to this one. How long have you been a quad roller skater for?
@@IceCoachOnline I've been a skater for 13 years. I started at the age of five and I'm still waiting for it to be considered an olympic sport hahahah. Hope you like quad skates, they are so much fun!^^
When I first started figure skating, I tried roller blades first so I could get my balance properly regulated. I don’t know why I said this, but I did so-
You could change the hardness of the wheels, if they skid on pressure, you could use softer wheels, softer wheels grip the asphalt better. I haven't ice skated much so this may be completely wrong as I might be missing context.
@@rolaboi yeah I made a mistake on the name 🤦♂️ my bad! 😅 I'll fix that for the second part 🙂 I have seen people do all their jumps on them, but they normally have a nice smooth floor to skate on and plenty of space!
I saw the title and got really excited about you trying out actual roller skates (you know.. 2x2 wheels) and then saw that you just used the off-ice skates basically made to help figure skaters practice outside of the skating season lmao
Look for a out door hockey rink or go to the roller rink the surfaces are smoother and you can really get a better idea on how to set edges like on ice
Hi guys, I'm watching your videos only since few days ago and I want to congrats with you! I'm very good at skating with rollerblades (even if I'm a freestyler and I don't know how to have so much grace 😂) and I'm trying to get better with my ice skates thanks to your lessons. So, what I'm trying to say with my bad english is that It isn't simple to change skates but you guys did it very well!! A kiss from Italy 💞
Nice! I do skate both on ice and ground, and I can tell that every skater can switch one way to another. The main difference is the grip. the fiction between roller and the ground is the max when the wheels are straight against the ground. But when you tilt on roller, the fiction is not enough for you to apply such pressure you would be able to apply on ice. And for skiing/ice skating where the edges grip when you tilt.
*INLINE SKATES* ya bunch of muppets. How the hell can nobody in the video or the comments know the difference?? They've been around for nearly 30 years FFS 🤦🏾♂️
This reminds me of my 6 year old self. I ice skated before during winter holidays and was good enough to not kiss the ice. In the summertime my friend came over, he got a pair of skates for his birthday and wanted to try them out with me. He was very unstable and hit the ground a couple of times while I tried them on and took right off. My parents say his jaw dropped to the floor. Ice skates and inline skates really are similar. 😄 We had the situation in reverse though when he tried to teach me skate boarding a couple of years later...
I'm sorry but WHATTTT how did you guys learn all of that in 10 minutes!!!!??? I'm a figure skater aswell and I've been trying to roller skate for about 3 weeks now and I can barely do a crossover 😂😂. How are you two so skilled? 😂😭❤️
Park Sunghoon is a korean male ice skater and is currently a kpop idol in the group Enhyphen. He actually did use roller skates for a year end performance!!
I'm an artistic skater ( with roller of course ) and I teach it myself. That's soooo hard and I have Oxelos Rollers and it's not an adapted stuff but it work a little bit😑. Your video is so cool 😁 ( sorry for my bad english i'm french...)
Im happy to hear you enjoyed the video! I'm not aware of oxelos rollers, I'll check them out! I'm new to roller skating, but it's definitely a lot of fun. Your English was great too!
I bought Oxelo ice skates last season, I wasn't able to do all basic figures in them so I'm getting other ones for next season but it was great to get the hang of it again. Your English is fine :D I'm roller skating now too, I fell 2 weeks ago and hurt my knee. Tomorrow I'll get my knee protection ;) and I can try again. I'm having lots of fun.
@@stefaniaponitz5738 I didn't know that Oxelo made Ice Skate. I bought this mark because this is the only stuff I can get near to my home ( that's a mark from Decathlon...). For good artistic rollers skates I needed to go in Paris but I can't because of Covid-19 ( same thing for my ballet shoes...😐)
@@TheThunderkan Δelta & Νυ yes they look very cute with fur on the top :D This is from the dutch version of the site www.decathlon.nl/p/ijsschaatsen-voor-dames-500/_/R-p-15311?mc=8101678&c=WIT I understand. Yes, let's hope that Covid blows over fast so we can go back to doing the things we love again!
Hey, i'm from France too, I think you can still buy the frame in UK or France and mount some boots on it but Oxelos inline are much cheaper; yeah i found it hard too, as i did ski and i skate quite often i assumed it'd be easy, it's not 😂
would definitely recommend softer wheels for outdoor use, much smoother roll and don't have to worry about cracks and pebbles as much, not to mention but also harder wheels deteriorate a lot faster when used outdoors as they're typically used for an indoor rink
I’m a “professional” artistic roller skater and to do more jumps and spins they should have used quads with a 4 in thick toe stop inline skates are used for hockey and there is few tricks you can do with them other than going fast
When I tell my friends and family ice-skating is easier than roller blading, they look at me like I'm nuts. Thank you for agreeing with me! Roller blading is insane. Give me ice any day.
Was anyone else afraid they were going to go over and smack their heads? Hey, I just realized. Those damn things have toe picks! Sort of. I haven't roller bladed in twenty years, but mine were more like hockey skates.
I'd love to see, professional figure skaters try roller derby. Skating on quads, with stoppers is so different to blades along with the expectation to make contact with others!
Lol I just tried this too yesterday for the first time and I’m a figure skater. I was ok, but I tried using my imaginary toe picks and fell on my face 😆
I mean, even before watching the video I can tell the answer is yes😂😂 I used to rollerskate a lot when I was a kid, and because of that, the first time I went ice skating it took me like 10 minutes to become comfortable on the ice. What would probably surprise you more would be that it's an ability that transfers to skiing too, to an extent. My first time skiing I found a lot of similarities, not necessarily in the movements, but in the way I had to hold my body and stuff like that. It made learning SO easy, in three days I felt perfectly confident! And I'm usually a veeery slooow student when it comes to sports, so it was all thanks to my skating experience😂✌🏼
this is great!! but as an artistic roller skater, the ones you used in the video were inline skates / roller blades. roller SKATES are four wheeled, two in the back and two in front. great video tho! edit: the "retro" ones
Thanks! Glad you liked the video, and many people have pointed out I made a mistake with the name 🤦♂️ my bad. I'm looking at getting some quads now actually! I want to see how they compare.
@@IceCoachOnline If you’re used to ice skates and and in-line skates, you may not be able to do quad skates. I’ve in-line skated off and on for years (not the fancy stuff, just going straight for exercise, no idea how to do the fancy stuff), and a few years ago I tried to do quads again and I couldn’t do it, even though I had done quads as a little girl (again, nothing fancy, no lessons, just fun stuff outdoors). Once I was used to the balance of that blade or set of wheels in the middle, I couldn’t let go off not trying to maintain that balance which isn’t the same as needed on quads. Ymmv. I love to ice skate (don’t know how to figure skate, just the Everyman kind of ice skating).. but due to my geographical location, don’t get to ice skate much. ..I also enjoy watching figure skating..at one time I was such a die hard fan I knew who all the skaters were, and all the details…I don’t so much anymore, but I still think it’s a beautiful sport especially pairs and dance.
Yes it's that simple! Fortunately, the holes I had to drill into my skates for this were in completely different places to the ones I use for my on ice blades !
If you're exact then it's better to use a pair of old skates. Because no matter the model, the screw holes will usually be different. I have Snow Whites. They're built particularly with figure skaters in mind. And my trusted shop recommended to not just do this myself. Because like blades, if they are built to have a sweet spot for spins (a wheel is lower than the rest) then it needs to be in the right place. When I got mine, although it was a hell of an investment for my little budget, I got two pairs of boots and one got blades and the other got the rolls installed. I do think it was worth it though I didn't get to practice much yet (terrible weather last year). It did enable me to slowly get used to basics. When you can do it on these, you'll have it very easy on ice cause it's harder 😂. However, I highly recommend to first scout sour surroundings. You need the very smooth type of concrete! You see in the Video how they chose the dark new patch in the parking lot. Tiles and the likes won't do! Solid basketball fields and such are other good choices.
@@KxNOxUTA I would like to try some snow-whites and see what they are like! I would also like to have a skate around a sports hall or nice smooth tennis court. I'm sure it would be a lot more fun!
You want the least amount of grip when artistic roller skating, but more grip when it comes to ice skating. It's interesting how much things change just by if you're carving into a surface or trying to roll on top of it.
Haha thanks. Glad you enjoyed it, we'll make sure to use the correct terms next time 🤦♂️ I just don't know what to call the video when we try quad skates!
These roller blades are made differently then traditional roller blades the part of the back of traditional roller blades are on the front of the inline skates that these two are wearing just like they are in ice skates! These are for off ice figure skating! They are not traditional roller blades!
@@grobanite4ever85 they are different to a traditional roller blade, but a lot of people in the comments have pointed out they they created similar Rollerblades but customising them. We want to get quad skates to try next!
I was hoping to see you on quads!! I'm sure they'd be even harder to adapt to than the inline variety lol! Most of us rhythm roller skaters have no stoppers at all... so it's all about various T stops, ski/hockey type stops, slides, etc. Also, we rock back and forth from front to back wheels a ton, though often so subtle that the untrained eye won't notice. I actually just got fitted for ice skates TODAY... So this quad skater will be fumbling through your comfort zone very soon!
I plan on still doing it for fun when the pandemic is over. I like the challenge of it! But I would like to try different skates! I'm not sure the equipment I'm using is the best for what I want to do in them!
@@IceCoachOnline yea def look into some power slide skates or some adapts (they are a little on the pricey side but they use carbon fiber for the boot and that's why.) id say call up your local rollerblading shop, or roller warehouse or loco skates and they will be willing to talk to you about set ups, parts etc. also look to see if there is a group of skaters that go out for a group ride (once this quarantine goes away.) I skate in the San Francisco Friday night skate group, super fun and I've learned a lot from the people! Hope this helps you move in the direction you'd like to skate!
I have recently learned on actually on my inline skates (powerslide tri skates). I learns powerslide, powerstop, parallel slide, and J-Slide. A lot of fun😁
I wish people would make it obvious if they were rollerskating or rollerblading. Because in a lot of ways they are very different and roller blading is more what an ice skater is used to.
Rollerbladed (inline skates) when I was younger; then I went to ice skate for the first time on a date and I was a pro as soon as I touched the ice! Everything from inline skates transitioned to ice skating!
Have you tried Quad skates? Roller blades have a similar distribution of weigh to ice ones, but quad skates have different placement and mechanics so you’re working with a different balance
I like how they are uncomfortable and graceful at the same time
Hahaha thanks 🤣
I know I've never thought anyone can do botha at thee same time till I watched this video
My dance teacher used to say "if it feels comfortable you're doing it wrong"
Just like ballet pointe shoes . It’s torture to wear them

@@IceCoachOnline I'm so glad you said that, I was yelling at my screen watching that bit 😆 thanks for the review, I've been trying to get some inline figure skates, this is good to know!
@@IceCoachOnline The second I saw that I was all, "Those are his old skates" ha
Even stumbling the 2 of you look graceful.
😂😂Thanks!
Artistic roller skating is basically the equivalent of figure skating. 😆
But a pub car park certainly felt different! 😂 We want to try quads next as that's what the artistic roller skaters use!
@@IceCoachOnline Inline figure skating is an actual sport! The skates have 3 wheels and 'toe pick' at the front, snow whites are super light weight and easier to move with :)
It needs to be an official sport in the Summer Olympics
@@IceCoachOnline they sometimes use inline skates but they always have toe stops rather than heel stops so they can do spins
They learnt that in 10 MINUTES?!?!?
HOLD UP!
IVE BEEN TRYING TO SKATE LIKE THAT FOR YEARS JZNSUXJSJX
WHAT THE HELL
HOOWWWWWWW
😂 Well I have been ice skating for 26 years, I think it helped a bit! But I did go on autopilot and try an do a hockey stop, almost killing myself 🤦♂️
Everything he managed to make with the rollerblades he said he was used to make on normal blades so.....
@@Lu-dm7rn the feeling was quite different! It's more about see what I can do on them compared to what I can do on the ice. Ice skating is of course much easier to me!
Part 2 of the video releases tonight and I try to push them further.
@Саймон ГлЕк I just watched the link you sent me! That dudes crazy!!! Am I right I thinking that what he's doing is called aggressive online skating?
Could be the core strength, a lot of people have trouble at first because they feel unbalanced or they need to strengthen their core
Very impressive how well you both did. And no pads or gloves. Ouch.
Thanks ☺️ well we didn't have any pads or gloves to use! We were careful though as the floor we were skating on was very rough! Like ice skating after a hockey match 😂
This is exactly how i had to learn because i couldn't afford Ice Skates. I learned on concrete without pads and gloves.😂
Brighter Horizons Scary. I’m always amazed that figure skaters don’t wear pads on ice. I’m a big tough ice hockey player (irony alert) and you wouldn’t see me on the ice without pads, not even during public skating sessions.
The only thing I would say is always use protection when outside on the road. A fall on the ice you would normally get straight up from with no injurys can lead to ripped up skin incredibly easily. I have snow white skates and am teaching myself to figure skate since on the isle of man we only have a small rink in the winter, I was amazed when I ice skated last winter at how much less falls hurt 😂😂
I have been nervous of falling on the rough concrete and ripping up my skin! Did you find your skating was a lot better after practicing in your snow whites?
@@IceCoachOnline I had never really ice skated before I got my snow whites! I had always admired figure skaters but the winter rink here is so small that even when I did go it was to busy to try anything other than an occasional spin! I had normal inlines and was always frustrated that I couldnt pull of figure skating moves... getting my snow whites was the best decision I have ever made, snow white skates are so good and light weight it didnt take me long to learn alot of basic tricks in them!! I have never tried any other brand off inline figures but I dont feel I need to snow whited are so natural.
When I did go to the winter rink this past winter I discovered I could indeed pull off alot of the tricks I had learnt on my snow whites!
@@Aspen_Husky great comment! Thanks for sharing! It's amazing to hear that your practice in the snow. Whites allowed you to drastically improve your on ice skating. I am jealous that you said they are light weight! The ones that I tried are very very heavy!
@@IceCoachOnline I've heard that alot about the skates you have tried, they are more like normal recreational skates in terms of the weight which I do own a pair of still so I know what that's like to try and pull actual tricks off in, great for speed skating tho! I highly recommend you try out snow whites if you ever have the budget to, I ordered mine from a shop in Italy with free shipping and mounted them to a pair of second hand edea overtures so overall it didnt come to that much considering how amazing they are!
@@Aspen_Husky I have plenty of of old risport skates I can mount them on fortunately! I'll try and borrow come off a friend so I can shoot a video about them! 👍 Thanks for the info!

@@pamelaaverrett5848 did you order new boots to go with them? None of us enjoy breaking in new boots 😢
Ice Coach Online , I did... The company was only selling the roller part if you bought higher end boots to mount. I usually wear Riedell Silver Star... but I wanted something with much less support for this🤣 I ended up getting Bronze Star cause my only other choice was Edea Pianos 😮
@@pamelaaverrett5848 I'm sure the bronze star will be better than the piano for you if you wanted something not too bad to break in 🤣

Ok, today we found out that this girl... she is a skilled high level figure skater! :D
Anastasia is my girlfriend and skating partner! Fortunately she also agreed to share some of her fantastic off ice knowledge with everyone from her 15 years of Ballet training!
I took figure skating lessons when I was little, like between the ages of 7-9. Was able to do a few simple turns and jumps and stuff but never continued past that, but I've always been comfortable on ice skates. And when I was little, translating ice skating to rollerblading was easy and I was able to do a lot of the same (simple) stuff on rollerblades. Now about 20 years later, even though I only skate like once or twice a year recreationally, it's like riding a bike. Super natural, super comfortable.
But putting on roller skates again after nearly two decades?
Death.
Lol! The end of your comment made me laugh out loud literally! Perhaps it would be so bad for you if you made sure you put roller blades on and then went skating on the correct surface 😁 unlike us in this video 😂
sorry, you’re not an olympic skater. not even a figure skater. no skater would have the DISRESPECT to wear their skates on concrete. you sir, are a monster. jokes aside (or were they?) great video. where did you get the skates from?
😂 Don't worry, they blades we so worn down and used that I was more concerned about damaging the concrete than the blades 😁
I got them from "off-ice skates". Through these comments I have learned that there are various different equivalents in the US and Europe that go by different names too! Such as snow whites and pic skates.
Ice Coach Online thankyou for the reply! i think i’m going to buy these as i’m from the uk and more off ice training couldn’t hurt my skating. thankyou for a good and honest review! :)
@@lunarose7490 you're welcome! I will add to my honest review and say that mine are pretty trashed after about 2 hours of skating spread out one 1 week! I question whether they are intended for indoor use🤔
Luna Rose if you want skates like that that are good for outdoor use skate hut is your best bet. Free delivery and they’re uk based. Probably different to what was used in the vid but it can’t hurt having a look. I’m a roller skater not an ice skater tho so take everything with a pinch of salt
Do not get these as they break easily. Try getting the Snow whites instead.
You guys should get quad roller skates. They have a toe stop that act like a toe pick, and they are more like ice skates. (in my opinion)
I haven't tired them yet! I'll give them a go 🙂
These have a toe pick too,so?
Inline figure skates are much more like ice figure skates than quads. Inline figure skates have a toe pick & a rockered frame so the edges work in a very similar way. Quads have a toe pick but not the same edges.
@@maryomahony3550 thanks for sharing this information! I also found the to be a very accurate representation of the figure skate. I do fancy giving quads a go just to see what it's like. Maybe I'll get some cheap ones and make a video about them 🤔
Mary O'Mahony Look up the videos of the professional roller skaters using the quads. They do all the same stuff we do, and you never see any of them doing doubles and triples using inline roller skates. It is SO COOL!!!
As someone who taught figure skating in my high school years I find rollers are much, much harder. Its easy to glide but stopping is incredibly hard, at least for me, on rollerblades. Skating it's so easy to stop. These guys are doing incredibly well for first time! I couldn't even do the pirouette stuff they were doing on rollerblades even after 20x of doing it so props!
It is much harder, but I am also very biased as I have ice skated for 27 years and inline skated for a few hours. Stopping is very different in them as you mention, you can do hockey stops etc. But the technique is not the same at all!
@@IceCoachOnline definetly there is sooo much more friction it can throw you off ahaha
Thats so interesting! I've been roller blading for a while and when I took ice skating lessons they were very suprised I havent ice skated before. I think the hard thing is with ice skates you use the inner blade, outer blade, toe pick, and the center, but with roller blades you need to stay on the center. Idk. Now i have a easier time ice skating then roller blading.
Ive been rollerblading since I was 4, my first time ice skating I got it down in a hour, even self thought myself to skate backwards. Its amazing how similar yet different the 2 are
I've got a pair of these myself, but not a huge fan. Takes a lot of getting used to.
One thing to be careful of is that it's easy to fall backwards if you accidentally lean that way due to the wheel on the rear rather than the heel of a blade.
100% correct! I did exactly that fall when I first put them on. I was really disappointed I didn't catch it on camera! It was right at the end of the videos as I was packing up my equipment 😭
Same! I ice skate significantly better than rollerblade
@@jenblack7909 what style rollers do you have?
Next video: Ice skating with skate guards on.
Hahaha do you want to kill me? Maybe rollerblading in heavy British rain too 🤣
I did this the other way round from speed roller skate to ice skate when i was 7(started roller skate when i was 4 or 5 i can't remember). I was amazed that i could skate on ice straight away without any problem at all 😇
Yea Hifi!!!!
That's awesome! Which did you prefer?
What did you get? Quads or inlines?
@@IceCoachOnline ice, because of that cool breeze😂 but I don't see much differences as I don't do all those spinnings~
@@ninareverie inline speed skates~
Even competitive roller skaters dont like skating in car parks 😂😂😂
I would love to skate on something better! That was quite a rough surface too. I think I have found a much smoother car park for next time at a closed down restaurant!😁 A sports hall is the dream for when the lockdown is over 👍
Its the worse!!
@@IceCoachOnline no rinks nearby?
It amazes me how quickly you adapted to four wheels! I'm looking forwards to seeing you do some spins (smooth cement or a timber roller rink floor will help with the speed of you spins). Thanks for your video!!!!
I knew the answer before I pressed the video my brain just had to see it😂
Haha I hope you enjoyed it anyway! 🙂 Part 2 is coming this week!
I’m 20 seconds in and I’m in tears at seeing ice skates without a guard ON CONCRETE!!!!!
I have something like these, too and it's super scary. First of all they're double the weight (I've checked), you're standing higher! Then yes streets and car parks aren't flat so the rain doesn't gather. And the surface is often terrible. BUT I hear from my fellow skater that if you use them as supposed to - in a sport hall - it's supposedly way more similar to being on ice.
I also didn't exactly see how yours are constructed but Snow Whites are constructed in a way that the middle wheel is lower than the rest, so you have the typical curve and a "sweet spot"
Coach, please be a good example. Don't go without helmet and guards. It's not the ice. By own experience ice is way way way more safe!!! When you fall you'll slide. On the street you'll very quickly not only have ruined clothing and skin torn off! You're also likely to have nasty stuff in the wound etc.! I usually have to bring a broom to the top no-roof-floor of a parking house to first get rid of the tiny stones (left from winter and brought in by cars). Doing that without them jumping around and hitting any cars. Luckily my place has a section that's usually completely emptied out until night.
Don't forget sunscreen if you carry on. It's too easy to lose track of time. 🤣
Another useful advice if you carry on: You need to regularly turn the wheels around. They usually get used up on one side more. Like this they'll wear down evenly and last longer. 😉
Hi Kat,
Great comment! Apologies for the delay in replying, I wanted to make sure I gave it the time it deserves!
You're right about the weight of these! They are very heavy! Especially when I attached them to my old SP Teri Super Deluxe skates. Overall, they weight over 5kg! My risports with John Wilson Gold Seals attached are around 2kg. So a massive difference there.
Mine are constructed in a similar way, but with more wheels. I wonder how this affects finding the sweet spot for tuns and spins? I did contact all of the off ice skating companies to see if they wanted to sponsor this video, so I could compare these off ice solutions. Unfortunately, nobody was interested in sponsoring the video, so I ended up buying s pair of the easiest ones I could get my hands on in the UK. I would have bought all of them, but I just don't have the budget for it.
You are right about the saftey equipment! But we needed to get the video filmed before we were put on lockdown in the house! Bringing the broom with you is a great idea! Like your own mini off ice zamboni 😂
Thanks for the turning the wheels around advice! We did question the durability of the wheels when we were dragging our foot going down the hill. We figured they might not last too long! Hopefully replacements are cheap enough.
Thanks again for the fantastic comment!
@@IceCoachOnline Ah, yeah the lock down! Here in Germany we're half on lock down already, but you can go outside for sports and a walk alone or with ppl of the same household. Ofcourse we are to keep a distance from others while doing so.
I did wonder about the models, too. Mine are 3 wheel and there were 4 wheel options. I somehow thought they'd probably be lighter with less wheels and it seemed the latest model when I got them. Maybe someone with more experience with different models will appear in the comment section at some point. The budget is really an issue. They're very expensive indeed. And it's a bad time for companies and hence sponsorships, too. However at least in Germany, when I checked, the replacement wheels aren't expensive. You can take any of them as long as you get the right size (there are a few standard sizes), though I suppose there's ofcourse a difference in them. Things like softness (less durable but more grip). Because these are constructed for halls they have white wheels (no streaks) but outside more durable wheels might make more sense. Didn't test that yet.
There are people to be found on social media training jumps with these. I thought I'd simply go ask them for advice when the time for replacements comes around. 😁
Hope you stay healthy and sane. I can imagine it's harder for you to stay inside than for me. You guys are used to your daily dose of movement. I'm a real bookworm that somehow ended up enjoying figure skating too much to refrain from it 😂 Big difference!
@@KxNOxUTA that makes a lof of sense about the softness of wheels giving more grip. One of the main things I struggled With was not managing to grip properly when pushing and trying to do deep edges like I would do on the ice. It was a bit like skating on blades that need a good sharpen!
We are finding ways to stay sane by making videos, hopefully inspiring others in the process.
Stay safe and thanks again for youur great comments!
If you have any access to a tennis court, I heard this was good. I’m going to try that... but if people come around for tennis I will have to go 🤣😷
@Emily Su I've seen people spin properly on them and jump properly with them. You can simply check Instagram for #artisticinlineskating. SnowWhites are easy to spot and often mentioned, too. I've been asking experienced ppl all these questions, too, before getting mine. Unfortunately I can't share my own experience, yet. Spinning doesn't work well for me even on ice even 🤣 It still makes me way too sick. I won't try before it doesn't work on my spinner at least.
As a ice hockey player of 15 years, trying on roller skates and struggling, seeing this makes me feel better
“Shout out to wind for making it harder” I LOST IT💀🤚
Me being a person who roller skates often I like seeing this and how the difference makes people look at certain aspects of them differently and the fact that all of can look super elegant no matter who you are as long as you like it and you try it out you know
From the sound of the wheels on the ground they are probably pretty hard. This allows them to do things like slide stop but makes them risky to push hard into. Softer more compliant wheels would grip better.
Yea roller blades wheels are extremely hard
I'm a inline speed skater and damn, respect to you figure skaters, all i know is how to do is sprint and do crossovers, i can't imagine the complexity of all the movement you do
It's pretty awesome to see how fast you guys picked up roller skating, I did it the other way around (switched from inline speed to ice speed skating two years ago) so it's cool to watch it from the other perspective ;)
How was the switch from inline speed to ice speed?
Anastasia is so graceful. She is like a ballet dancer. Every frame is picture perfect.
Thank you for the kind words ❤️ I'll let her know!
Despite being a novice inline skater, I can still give you a great tip. It's really helpful. Ditch the Black and Decker power drill. I've had two, never again. The chuck is rubbish. Invest in a decent drill, like a DeWalt. Way better. Happy skating.
You guys did really well! Jono you are the epitome of grace and beautiful posture!
This is my first time on your channel and at 1:10
you: "time to grab anesthesia and see what we can do with them"
me: "fair enough"
you: "this is us skating on ice!"
me: "ohhh it's Anastasia!" *facepalm*
I have been inline skating for a couple of years and this guy is just doing the crazyest things in minutes.
At least i know how to break that made me feel a little better.
I'm hoping to learn to break soon too 😂 I feel its a necessary skill to learn!
@@IceCoachOnline good luck try to learn safely. 😉
As an inline skater I think you guys did well, but If you are interested in getting some skates I highly recommend the
FRX 80 from Seba, they roll really well just out of the box and if you decide to try slalom you can slightly rocker them.
Just saw you did elaborate 😅 they are supposed to be an off ice version of ice skates. Since posting this video I have learned loads of great information from roller skaters and inline skaters including the point that technically these aren't roller skates 🤦♂️my bad with the name!
How do you go about rocketing them? Do you change the wheel sizes?
Omg you two are helping me get through this boredom! Thank you for your info and humor. Made my day!😂 And you are both gorgeous skaters, ice and roller.
Haha thanks! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the video 🙂 we're working on making more videos too! If people like this style of video, we'll make more!
I want to ask something. Can I change the wheels for the ice skates and where are they sold?
I hate how they kept saying roller skate , cause I’m a roller skater 😂 it’s roller blading but it fineeeee
Same, I roller blade and throughout the video I was like “so no ones gonna correct him?”
I’m sorry, but can you explain the difference
@@iammar1159 Roller skates are typically used to refer to ‘quad skates’ which is when all four aren’t in a straight line. Roller blades which they have in the video have the wheels all aligned in one straight line, which resemble a blade.
Omg sammmmme
@@lexdraws1729 Ohhh okay, thank you!
this video is awesome... i didn’t know i needed this in my life!

I already knew the answer to the question from the start. I've been a casual inline skater for 6ish years, and although I'm certainly not the best ice skater, I can make do.
Glad you watched the video anyway! The goal was to take people through the experience of us trying it out for the first time. Hopefully everyone found it entertaining! We had a lot of fun making it 🙂

“How do I stop?” Drags rollerblade like a skate
It's actually a T stop, looked good.
I recently discovered I can stop better with this t-stop by holding my ankle upright and using my inner thigh muscles more to slow down quicker! Now the wheels are completely worn out 🤷♂️
Im actually gonna cry. Ive been roller blading since I was 4 and competitive speed skating since I was 14. You make my years of hard work look so easy ;-;;;
this reminds me of when my friend thought I'd be amazing at ice skating because I roller skate lol I was a wobbly mess
Lol! I'm sure with a bit more practice you would have made the transition over to ice smoothly.
i CRINGED real hard when he walked on the concrete with blades 😯
They were old skates and blades 😂
It would be neat to see them in a rink with really flat surfaces! Bet they would have fun!
I found an abandoned McDonald's car park that is a lot smoother and a lot easier to skate on! It's still small, I want to find the place where artistic roller skaters practice and go there to try!
I mean this comment is 6 months late, but you can also look for inline hockey places and stuff like that. Feel like those might be easier to find :p.
I am not a professional figure skater but I have tried these off-ice skates and also a pair of “Snow white” off ice skates and found that the snow whites are much better in terms of the design as the “toe pick” does not break off easily when utilizing it for jumps. Also the wheels are much bigger and hence reduces the impact of the rough and unsmooth surface of the tarmac. It is worth trying those out if you like figure skating off ice for additional practice.
Great insight into your experience with them! This is something I cover in the second part of this video actually! In about 2 hours of skating they are about finished. I have been promised replacements, but this is an important point that I will bring up in the next vid!
Thanks for sharing your experiences 🙂
well that was really interesting. always fun to see people qualified on one subject tries other subject that in basic principles arent that different, but still has enough "individuality" that makes people stumbling around on it. 😝

I learned to skate on quads. In the 1990s I switched to ice. The part that always felts funny on ice was the lack of drag. Ice is so fast 💨. Also I had gotten so used warmer temperatures. I first learned to have control over my skating before venturing outside. The skating backwards in ice felt so natural. Thanks for showing us how well you did ❤️❤️
Watch "MAMA 2020 ENHYPEN Performance". One of the group member, Park Sunghoon, was a professional figure skater before he became an idol. Although he did not skate on concrete, he did it on the LED stage. Many people was confused at first whether he was trully skating on an ice or what because of his graceful moves but later on many concluded that he was indeed on roller skates, and the rink was an LED stage instead of an ice. 😁
Okay so wht is your point?
When you went out on the concrete with the ice blades, i felt that in my soul
Kinda looks like how I feel when my skates are sharpened too deep
It's definitely how you feel if you forget youre on roller skates and go into a hockey stop while on autopilot !
I can’t believe you were this good after wraring them for 2 mins i wanna cry lol
In my opinion Roller blading is so much harder than ice skating
I'm a quad roller skater and I've always heard that is much more easier for roller skaters to transition to ice skate than to ice skaters to transition to roller skate. I haven't been many times to an ice rink but the last time it was on Christmas. At first it was weird but after two hours I could do some spins, footwork, and jumps. I really like the speed that the ice gives. The movements are much more fluid.
That's interesting to hear, I want to try quad skating next. When I get my hands on some, i'll make a video similar to this one. How long have you been a quad roller skater for?
@@IceCoachOnline I've been a skater for 13 years. I started at the age of five and I'm still waiting for it to be considered an olympic sport hahahah. Hope you like quad skates, they are so much fun!^^
When I first started figure skating, I tried roller blades first so I could get my balance properly regulated. I don’t know why I said this, but I did so-
You could change the hardness of the wheels, if they skid on pressure, you could use softer wheels, softer wheels grip the asphalt better. I haven't ice skated much so this may be completely wrong as I might be missing context.
I want to see "single jump" on roller skates!
Do you want to see me hurt myself 😂 All jokes aside, I tried some yesterday and it was very scary!
楊斯竣 people do all the triple jumps on roller and inline skates.. the skates they are wearing are not roller skates lol
@@rolaboi yeah I made a mistake on the name 🤦♂️ my bad! 😅 I'll fix that for the second part 🙂
I have seen people do all their jumps on them, but they normally have a nice smooth floor to skate on and plenty of space!
I saw the title and got really excited about you trying out actual roller skates (you know.. 2x2 wheels) and then saw that you just used the off-ice skates basically made to help figure skaters practice outside of the skating season lmao
What is the footwork pattern at 3:36 called?
Look for a out door hockey rink or go to the roller rink the surfaces are smoother and you can really get a better idea on how to set edges like on ice
I do artistic roller skating! I have an Edea rondo boot with the variant playe and giotto wheels. I use quads though
Have you tried ice skating too? If so, how did it compare for you?
Ice Coach Online Alot slippier! When you spin you dont even have to try you just glide. I can tell its not for me but I did enjoy it.
Hi guys, I'm watching your videos only since few days ago and I want to congrats with you! I'm very good at skating with rollerblades (even if I'm a freestyler and I don't know how to have so much grace 😂) and I'm trying to get better with my ice skates thanks to your lessons. So, what I'm trying to say with my bad english is that It isn't simple to change skates but you guys did it very well!! A kiss from Italy 💞
Nice!
I do skate both on ice and ground, and I can tell that every skater can switch one way to another.
The main difference is the grip.
the fiction between roller and the ground is the max when the wheels are straight against the ground.
But when you tilt on roller, the fiction is not enough for you to apply such pressure you would be able to apply on ice.
And for skiing/ice skating where the edges grip when you tilt.
loving the welsh vibe, i knew i recognised that rink
*INLINE SKATES* ya bunch of muppets. How the hell can nobody in the video or the comments know the difference?? They've been around for nearly 30 years FFS 🤦🏾♂️

@@cherrylockheart3075 Most inline skaters don't wear a brake. It is something for a very beginner that can be removed once you learn how to stop.
This reminds me of my 6 year old self. I ice skated before during winter holidays and was good enough to not kiss the ice. In the summertime my friend came over, he got a pair of skates for his birthday and wanted to try them out with me. He was very unstable and hit the ground a couple of times while I tried them on and took right off. My parents say his jaw dropped to the floor. Ice skates and inline skates really are similar. 😄 We had the situation in reverse though when he tried to teach me skate boarding a couple of years later...

Im rollerskater
@@_slut_addicted is that you roller skating?? That's incredible!
Didn't wanna try the Pamchenko? COWARDS.
@@JackAShepherd what's the pamchenko 😅🙂
would definitely recommend softer wheels for outdoor use, much smoother roll and don't have to worry about cracks and pebbles as much, not to mention but also harder wheels deteriorate a lot faster when used outdoors as they're typically used for an indoor rink
I’m a “professional” artistic roller skater and to do more jumps and spins they should have used quads with a 4 in thick toe stop inline skates are used for hockey and there is few tricks you can do with them other than going fast
When I tell my friends and family ice-skating is easier than roller blading, they look at me like I'm nuts. Thank you for agreeing with me! Roller blading is insane. Give me ice any day.
Was anyone else afraid they were going to go over and smack their heads? Hey, I just realized. Those damn things have toe picks! Sort of. I haven't roller bladed in twenty years, but mine were more like hockey skates.
I'd love to see, professional figure skaters try roller derby. Skating on quads, with stoppers is so different to blades along with the expectation to make contact with others!
Lol I just tried this too yesterday for the first time and I’m a figure skater. I was ok, but I tried using my imaginary toe picks and fell on my face 😆
😂 Hope you're okay after your fall! Maybe you can add a real one to help avoid that next time
I've seen people fit toepicks on the fronts of in lines
I've gotten used to it now 😆
I mean, even before watching the video I can tell the answer is yes😂😂
I used to rollerskate a lot when I was a kid, and because of that, the first time I went ice skating it took me like 10 minutes to become comfortable on the ice.
What would probably surprise you more would be that it's an ability that transfers to skiing too, to an extent. My first time skiing I found a lot of similarities, not necessarily in the movements, but in the way I had to hold my body and stuff like that. It made learning SO easy, in three days I felt perfectly confident! And I'm usually a veeery slooow student when it comes to sports, so it was all thanks to my skating experience😂✌🏼
this is great!! but as an artistic roller skater, the ones you used in the video were inline skates / roller blades. roller SKATES are four wheeled, two in the back and two in front. great video tho!
edit: the "retro" ones
Thanks! Glad you liked the video, and many people have pointed out I made a mistake with the name 🤦♂️ my bad. I'm looking at getting some quads now actually! I want to see how they compare.
@@IceCoachOnline If you’re used to ice skates and and in-line skates, you may not be able to do quad skates. I’ve in-line skated off and on for years (not the fancy stuff, just going straight for exercise, no idea how to do the fancy stuff), and a few years ago I tried to do quads again and I couldn’t do it, even though I had done quads as a little girl (again, nothing fancy, no lessons, just fun stuff outdoors). Once I was used to the balance of that blade or set of wheels in the middle, I couldn’t let go off not trying to maintain that balance which isn’t the same as needed on quads. Ymmv. I love to ice skate (don’t know how to figure skate, just the Everyman kind of ice skating).. but due to my geographical location, don’t get to ice skate much. ..I also enjoy watching figure skating..at one time I was such a die hard fan I knew who all the skaters were, and all the details…I don’t so much anymore, but I still think it’s a beautiful sport especially pairs and dance.
I dream of getting these pickskates!! I miss my figure skating days.
Agora estou me sentindo internamente humilhado por não conseguir fazer metade do que eles aprenderam em 10 minutos
:') Obrigado.
We do have 25+ years of figure skating experience, so it certainly does help pick up rollerblading quickly
Omg that form is beautiful!
So do you just unscrew the blades and screw these ones onto the existing boots? I'm scared of messing with the blades/boots set up!
Yes it's that simple! Fortunately, the holes I had to drill into my skates for this were in completely different places to the ones I use for my on ice blades !
If you're exact then it's better to use a pair of old skates. Because no matter the model, the screw holes will usually be different.
I have Snow Whites. They're built particularly with figure skaters in mind. And my trusted shop recommended to not just do this myself. Because like blades, if they are built to have a sweet spot for spins (a wheel is lower than the rest) then it needs to be in the right place. When I got mine, although it was a hell of an investment for my little budget, I got two pairs of boots and one got blades and the other got the rolls installed.
I do think it was worth it though I didn't get to practice much yet (terrible weather last year). It did enable me to slowly get used to basics. When you can do it on these, you'll have it very easy on ice cause it's harder 😂.
However, I highly recommend to first scout sour surroundings. You need the very smooth type of concrete! You see in the Video how they chose the dark new patch in the parking lot. Tiles and the likes won't do! Solid basketball fields and such are other good choices.
@@KxNOxUTA I would like to try some snow-whites and see what they are like! I would also like to have a skate around a sports hall or nice smooth tennis court. I'm sure it would be a lot more fun!
You want the least amount of grip when artistic roller skating, but more grip when it comes to ice skating. It's interesting how much things change just by if you're carving into a surface or trying to roll on top of it.
You could have made a two-second video with the words: Yes, very well
haha but I wanted to create
a video about the journey getting there
i was waiting for video like this for 4 years...thank u so much for this!!Very interesting content
You're welcome! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it!
I feel cheated,, these are roller blades 😔😔 jk lmao I rlly enjoyed the video,, y'all look like naturals wow
Haha thanks. Glad you enjoyed it, we'll make sure to use the correct terms next time 🤦♂️ I just don't know what to call the video when we try quad skates!
These roller blades are made differently then traditional roller blades the part of the back of traditional roller blades are on the front of the inline skates that these two are wearing just like they are in ice skates! These are for off ice figure skating! They are not traditional roller blades!
@@grobanite4ever85 they are different to a traditional roller blade, but a lot of people in the comments have pointed out they they created similar Rollerblades but customising them. We want to get quad skates to try next!
I was hoping to see you on quads!! I'm sure they'd be even harder to adapt to than the inline variety lol! Most of us rhythm roller skaters have no stoppers at all... so it's all about various T stops, ski/hockey type stops, slides, etc. Also, we rock back and forth from front to back wheels a ton, though often so subtle that the untrained eye won't notice.
I actually just got fitted for ice skates TODAY... So this quad skater will be fumbling through your comfort zone very soon!
Those are rollerblades, not skates.
i hope you keep rollerblading! I come from upstate new york so many winters spent on the ice and many summers on blades great video
I plan on still doing it for fun when the pandemic is over. I like the challenge of it! But I would like to try different skates! I'm not sure the equipment I'm using is the best for what I want to do in them!
@@IceCoachOnline yea def look into some power slide skates or some adapts (they are a little on the pricey side but they use carbon fiber for the boot and that's why.) id say call up your local rollerblading shop, or roller warehouse or loco skates and they will be willing to talk to you about set ups, parts etc. also look to see if there is a group of skaters that go out for a group ride (once this quarantine goes away.) I skate in the San Francisco Friday night skate group, super fun and I've learned a lot from the people! Hope this helps you move in the direction you'd like to skate!
This is awesome! I roller skate and ice skate and I always thought they were so similar but now I see how different they are!
If you ever do that again I recommend the power stop which is just a sharp turn to stop. You did it at 5:05
I have recently learned on actually on my inline skates (powerslide tri skates). I learns powerslide, powerstop, parallel slide, and J-Slide. A lot of fun😁
I wish people would make it obvious if they were rollerskating or rollerblading. Because in a lot of ways they are very different and roller blading is more what an ice skater is used to.
It’s like ice skating only wheels without blades.
Well done.
It's similar in some ways, but difficult in others as the grip is not the same as on the ice! Made even worse by a poor surface to skate on!
Rollerbladed (inline skates) when I was younger; then I went to ice skate for the first time on a date and I was a pro as soon as I touched the ice! Everything from inline skates transitioned to ice skating!
As a rollerblader and ice skater I can say that this was very funny and very entertaining
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Was fun to see you try with inline skates - as a quad skater, would love to see you give those a go!
I am looking at getting some quad skates (actual roller skates) at the moment! Also going to be trying out inline slalom 😁
@@IceCoachOnline omg yasss!!! To both of those - I bet you can crush inline slalom, and I look forward to seeing you take on (and slay) quad skates!!!
Have you tried Quad skates? Roller blades have a similar distribution of weigh to ice ones, but quad skates have different placement and mechanics so you’re working with a different balance
