I had the same experience, felt juddery at first, wobbly, skates seemed to have a mind of their own and "twitch" left and right when I was gliding on them, but I ironed it out, and from then on it felt comfortable. Had a similar experience on the power stops too, they seemed to dig in a lot at first, threatening to tip me over on my face. Yeah. Fun. But, that soon got better too, when I figured out my angles, I needed to be lower. My ice skating is fast! Scared myself on a few occasions. But yes, so much fun. And all this on crappy hire skates. I'm debating whether to get myself a decent pair of hockey skates, (not really much sense in it, the small ice rink is available for a few weeks, this time of year) or some blades to fit to my seba fr1's. I think the blades will win out, as it's only occasional use. And we don't get winters cold enough to freeze lakes, ponds, rivers. Here it just rains, ha.. Nice video, enjoyed it.
Thanks for this video! I predominantly play ice hockey (30+ years) & am tinkering with 3 wheel inline for summer holidays down here, plus teaching my kid skating mechanics on inline. I was really concerned about the transition back & forth but you have set my mind at ease. Thanks for getting on the ice again.
Excellent video, and it's amazing how the body adapts with very few practice! I bought my twister80 about a year ago thanks to your vídeos that just Made me wanna go rollerblading in the city.
i bought inline skates when i was 18 but skated only for a few times. then i took a break started figure skating at 20 but im more comfortable on ice than the road lol. i guess after learning ice i will be a better inline skater because i have learned to take risks on ice now i will be more confident on road. btw could you put more ice tutorials thank you!
Özge Norman he’s not an ice skater. He’s even worse on ice than on wheels lol. I recommend you to look for real ice skating tutorials 👌. Keep skating 💪🏼
I think this will be the year that I give the ice a try... I wonder if magic slides are a thing I feel like the edges would catch if you dont go low enough... one way to find out I guess 🤣😂🤣
Commuter Mike the magic slide is not really a trick on ice skating but it’s always fun to try rollerblading tricks on ice 👌. Btw it’s easier to do it tho.
Luckily I live in an environment where I can skate year round. I skate almost everyday and practice hockey with my son. I also ice skate with him on the weekends. We go to free skate and puck shoot. I guess since I'm pretty much transitioning from both weekly all year I don't feel much difference. He skates more than I do with hockey practice 3 nights a week along with our skates and practices, he claims to have no problems switching.
As some already pointed out... Why the wall kicks? How does that work? Is it some kind of training for future situations? Is this some kind of wall shaming? Are you practising a low profile technique? I am deeply intrigued by this.
It came from two situations. Rounding a corner in an alley too quickly and needing to push of an oncoming wall; Skating in icy areas where the only surface I could push off was vertical. I also like having a strong side kick on skates.
Thanks for pointing out the balancing on the balls of your feet. Almost every tutorial video I've seem for hockey stops makes no mention of it. "Just start shaving the ice," they say. Doesn't work, even standing still and trying to glide one foot. It just bites into the ice and stops immediately.
I wonter if alternating between blades and wheels will make you a better rollerblader. But then again, I can only ice skate where I live in the winter when they open the ice skating halls.
I have been ice skating for a about 4 months and I bought some inline skates as well. I feel really weird on inline skates, I can't glide around like I do on ice skates. The inline skates feel like the grip a whole lot more than ice skates.
I was curious if you ever tried the Marsblade chassis? It is supposed to be the best for hockey players... but, does it give you some of those benefits you felt on the ice on the street? Hmmmm... very interesting?
Bill, I’m wondering if you’ve heard of, used, and perhaps have already given impressions on MarsBlades? They’re holders for your in lines that articulate ever so slightly from toe to heel. I am a hockey player trying to become more proficient on wheels so that I can enjoy city skating - and the marsblades are tempting having tried them at the LHS, but I’m wondering if they will compromise my ability to do things like power stops? Happiness and Health!
Also I doubt all 137 of you are "still waiting". Since you brought up "waste", it seems a colossal waste of time. I had a look at the channel after you first mentioned it, no activity on it for years, as you said. So my thought was, why wait, when the same Bill Stoppard has this channel going ON. No offense, just made me scratch my head.
Lol me too, it's in one of my videos I think, did it twice in one session. Did a drag into power stop, had too much weight on the dragging foot and it spun me around ha..
Ah, the Citroen C4 advert. Loved the music in that. Shame they let David Guetta touch it. In the good words of Modest Mouse, "It's all nice on ice, alright".
That must have felt great! That spin you did to avoid falling could easily turn into a figure skating move! Happy Christmas to you & Mrs. Stoppard!

Man.. the wall pushes in inlines are awesome, but they make me cringe in ice skates! Be nice to that blade, Bill! :P
Awesome! Greetings from Mexico City! You are a great inspiration to roller skaters all around the world. Keep up the good work.
Worales! Es bueno ver qué hay skaters mexicanos con buenos gustos!!! 😎

Beautiful recovery on that slipping hockey stop.
How are the wall kicks with Ice Skates? 😋
It can be slippy; less forgiving than the wheeled push J.
@@BillStoppard You're just gonna blunt your skates...
I rollerblade (just for fun) and would love to be able to skate on ice someday !!
Love that "I've got wheels or steel on my feet..." :)
Get well, Bill Stoppard

@@ruedaelmundo57 good to know. Not trying to break an ankle you know?
Great analysis Bill
Last time I was ice skating, I noticed that it was more comfortable for me to go backwards than forwards. Strange feeling.
Hi five on the specs bill! 🤙 Rad to see you on the ice

is it weird that I always skate with full gear on (even the ellbows)?
I've had periods where I wore all the padding. Keep listening to your inner safety voice!
Weird not to if you ask me.
you should have all the gear if u play hockey
Ice is more forgiving, if you fall.... LOL Nice video 💚
exactly it hurts way less

Is the outdoor Ice Hockey Rink refridgerated? I don't know much about these things....

hey Bill what on ear neckband headset do you use ?
I think it's this one
www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-G45LP-Black/dp/B0015AFVBC
Bill I did something similar, tried to translate power stop to ice skate. Eventually some hockey guy taught me his know-how...
I'm trying to go the other way but no one has made a video on it :( I just want to stop wiping out when I turn sideways for a hockey stop lmao
hi! where are you from?? i really want to know where is this
looks like somewhere in canada, there's a shopper's drug mart haha
Toronto! I think he mentioned harbourfront earlier in the video.
So it seems that Bill’s conclusion is that ice skating is... better? Man, I need to move to a colder country.
We 137 "bstopard" subscribers are still waiting for uploads since 2012.
Did you forget us?
Lol why wait when it's obviously dead and gone.
This is now.
look at you how smart you are.
please dont waste your ingenuity here on youtube.
@@janhauser285 I'm not sure I get you. I'm wondering why you wait six years for something to happen on a channel that seems to be no longer in use?
Also I doubt all 137 of you are "still waiting".

that ice looks like an ic-jam on a frozen river.
I did 2:10 on inline hahahaa I almost died
Lol me too, it's in one of my videos I think, did it twice in one session. Did a drag into power stop, had too much weight on the dragging foot and it spun me around ha..
This video was s'nice
so my thing is, is that u can turn way too easily on ice skates imo
Ah, the Citroen C4 advert. Loved the music in that. Shame they let David Guetta touch it. In the good words of Modest Mouse, "It's all nice on ice, alright".
sooo fetch
Definitely ice skating is not your thing, you’re even worse than rollerblading lol. Good try tho!!!
