Ice Skating: everything in one place
Glide across the ice on a pair of blades. A whole-platform hub assembled from 6 sections of existing, cross-linked knowledge — skills, rules, equipment, science, calculators, comparisons, diagrams, learning and research.
Overview
Ice skating is the activity of moving across ice on boots fitted with thin metal blades. It ranges from casual recreational laps around a rink to the foundation for disciplines such as figure skating and ice hockey, and it can be enjoyed indoors year-round or outdoors where conditions allow.
For many people it is a relaxed, sociable way to be active in winter, and it doubles as the entry point to more specialised skating sports. Learning to balance, glide and stop with proper guidance makes those first sessions far more enjoyable and secure.
