Ice Skating vs. Roller Blading

[shortii]

who likes which more?

everyone keeps criticizing my fear of falling on concrete as opposed to ice lols

[longsiu]

I like both :D

braking on roller blades is so easy haha

[shortii]

OMGUH i find braking so hard!!

[longsiu]

just keep ur knees bent and upper body slightly leaning forward

[shortii]

lols leaning forward makes me wanna fall..man long..give me rollerblading lessons xD

[yandje]

i brake by falling down :D

[pat.pat]

i brake by falling down :Dhttp://www.sadman64.net/images/rofl/rofl3.png

[aznswti]

i tried rollerblading and i fell on my butt

so i gave up LOL. sigh.

[longsiu]

HAHAHAHA patpat!! love that pic ROFL

[baby8love]

skating's fun.

and now i wanna try rollerskating.

[Katlyn]

shortii: get the roller blades with the breaks on the back...so much easier to break~ just tilt your toes up XD

They're both fun~ but you can do more on ice compared to concrete....

[shortii]

i do have brakes..i'm just really bad at braking..

[lilazncub]

i love both...although i haven't rollerbladed in years...couldn't justify buying another pair haha...and I like iceskating because gives me stuff to do in wintertime.

[longsiu]

shortii: get the roller blades with the breaks on the back...so much easier to break~ just tilt your toes up XD

They're both fun~ but you can do more on ice compared to concrete....but u can't use ur ice skates to goto work during summer hehe

[kdotc]

come toronto...so i can ICE you ;).. i usually play hockey on ice and on blades i rarely just skate for fun

[swtlove]

LOL @ patpat's pic

[annurrs]

I LIKE BOTHHHHHHHHHH!!!

haven't been ice skating in a while.

[NEZ]

I like both too =D I play roller hockey so I guess I'm pretty good at roller blading.

Ice skating I love to ice skate, especially in the winter time, and since the Winter Olympics are happening in vancouver I cant wait to go to the new skating rinks =D

BTW the difference on falling on roller blades and falling on ice, is that u wont bleed when u fall. When you fall on ice, u'll get bruises, but if you fall on concrete it will rip ur skin off..... I know that by doing it the hard way. Unless the concrete is like super flat and smooth, other wise if you fall hard your gonna bleed. You can also just wear jeans LOL cause that will help protect ur skin from falls haha or those knee and elbow guards.

Also for stopping with roller blades it a lot easier to do the pizza stop LOL, seriously it works, what we learned in elementary actually works HAHA. Bend your knees, point your feet together and then push out with your legs.

And Practice makes perfect =D

[annurrs]

^ i got scratches on my knees with jeans when i fall though :( you lie.

and that pizza stop will make me fall o___o i usually drag one foot to brake

[shortii]

@ nez
yeah ive never fallen roller blading kus im always holding onto something or someone..well no..i fell once and i didnt skin myself (luckily)
but yeah ive never bruised myself from ice skating either..which is why i prefer it..i know HOW to fall LOL

[Angelina]

BOTH ARE OKAY LA

BUT IF I HAVE TO CHOOSE.. ITS ICE SKATING..

[Hell Zeon]

I have neither :D
Ice skating takes forever to learn how to break

[annurrs]

^ i drag one of my feet to brake in ice skating also xD

[NEZ]

^ lol draging one foot is sooo bad for your wheels/blade...... haha that y I said practice makes perfect! it takes a while to learn how to pizza stop properly =P

There's another way u can stip on roller blades, spin around for some of the ppl that know what I mean =P


yah jeans will not 100% save you >< that is y u should use knee and elbow guards =P

[shortii]

^^i never borrowed with the elbow and knee pads..that ruins the fun of just going out to rollerblade..

helmets too..only necessary for like motorcycle ride haha

[NEZ]

^ LOL I agree I never used them that why I have a scar on my elbow and a=on my knee >< looks pretty bad too ><

But when u get really pro at roller blading and you dont fall at all anymore, and if you fal lthen, those falls will most likely be really really bad, cause it something you wont have expected.

I know from experiance cause I was rollerblading a few weeks back and I fell pretty hard ><

[shortii]

haha kus you think you have the control and have no problem

everyone does that la..its more fun to pretend you know nothing will happen because youre SO good xD

[dloo86]

i vote rollerblading cuz im better at it

[LapSiLap]

oh....i still got a big scar on my right kneeeee from falling when roller blading some months ago.....but it was pretty fun to get hurt and bleeeeeeed it made me felt young again wohaha...

both ice and roller are fun but roller u can always do and ice u dont always so i say ice more fun :\ i luv howw they dig up the ice when they brake when ice skating....always wanted to learn that but too hard....

[shortii]

the only bad part about ice skating is..

needing the ice skates..needing admission (unless its a free rink) and having to wait for them to smooth the ice out xD

[Alpine]

Easy,

Ice skating in winter...Rollerblading in summer!

[sapphirekat]

less chance u get ur fingers cut off on concrete >.< i keep thinking dat

[shortii]

how do you get your fingers cut off O.o

[sapphirekat]

^ice skating ar ma. . .there r accidents wen u fall. . dun sumone rolls over ur fingers. . >.<

[shortii]

lols iuno about you..but my arms are always under me when i fall..which increases chances of breaking wrist but not losing fingers :P

[sapphirekat]

but its natural dat wen u fall u put ur hands out!

or u can break ur wrist den lose ur fingers =P

[shortii]

how do you break your wrist and lose your fingers O.o
you're so silly sapphy

[Katlyn]

but its natural dat wen u fall u put ur hands out!

or u can break ur wrist den lose ur fingers =P

Where did your reflex go sapph?! you put your hands out to balance...but i hope you put your hands in front when you fall....:@_@:otherwise you'll be like those anime people that falls flat on their face....

[lilazncub]

but its natural dat wen u fall u put ur hands out!

or u can break ur wrist den lose ur fingers =P
actually you should close your fists and fall on your forearms...

[shortii]

lols yeah..i have yet to learn that right way of falling >_< i will break my wrist one of these days >_<

[lilazncub]

lols yeah..i have yet to learn that right way of falling >_< i will break my wrist one of these days >_<
get some wrist guards!!!

[shortii]

wth are wrist guards? O.O

[sapphirekat]

man i haf fallen on my face b4 . . hehe, but still, dats my impression on skating, i'll stick wif rollerbladeeeeeee!

[Katlyn]

wrist guards are like gloves...without the finger parts...I don't think people wear it for ice skating...but you could!

[shortii]

LOL that keeps your wrist from breaking? O.o

[Katlyn]

i guess they will provide some protection to your wrist....either by providing cushioning, or padding...or prevent your wrist from twisting the wrong way....

[shortii]

oh nice..too bad i barely do either activity :(

[hungrydragon]

both are tiring for my ankles

roller blading on smooth surfaces..ugh but the falling part will hurt alot..

ice skating...im not so good at...always fall on my butt

maybe cuz i suck at ice skating...but i like roller blade better...the rolling feeling is nice..

[ChongMan]
