It will ruin your blades.

[@eclipses1003]

Because you don’t trust sorcery?

[@user-N20]

If you're gonna use this, according to the people in the comments who actually tried it: -It's harder to skate on than ice -Spins are incredibly difficult -Edge jumps are possible, but toe jumps are NOT -Your blades become dull way more easily and you have to sharpen them more often -You can not get as deep of an edge on it -You probably want to get a cheaper pair of skates to use one it so you don't accidentally ruin your expensive ones.

[@alliealltheway]

My friend worked on shows and had to do double toe but he basically did it from stand still, similar to how we practise in trainers on the floor before we get on...

[@user-zt6pg5bz2l]

Is this floor repairable? I mean how long will it be smooth enough?

[@beetiki99]

So basically not worth the hassle nor money lol, get a pair of off ice skates and be done, those are the best lol!

[@tatteredquilt]

SO, basically for practice or ice dance....

Look at how wide she needs to keep feet and there's a lot of breaking at the waist (forward bending on the lower back). Obviously, this person knows how to skate well, but she's not performing the way she normally would with this product.

It’s probably cause it’s her first time she’s skating on the fake ice.

@@ashleykim115 it’s probably not her first time! It’s extremely difficult! My point is that you really can’t skate on it as you would actual ice.

[@cosmicjedi646]

I've tried a different brand of synthetic ice and it's a little different just because it's not actual ice. It has more of a grab to it and I feel like I'm skating through water. So because I'm skating on a slippery synthetic it just feels different.with all the ice rings closed for a little bit I did like skating on the synthetic ice. I can literally set it up in my apartment and skate at home so it's the best that I had. It definitely is different and I would recommend it.

[@cosmicjedi646]

[@elainavolkov]

i think the reason why she looks uncomfortable is because there’s not a lot of room for her to skate on. she keeps looking to see where should she skate next and that explains why she’s not doing turns, tricks, etc. idk i’m not a skater but that’s what i see.

[@Werepie]

looks like she's making a point to avoid that big gap between two pieces on the right as well. I'm no pro, but dropping your skate into that gap probably wouldn't end too well.

[@RjOaGcEkRie]

why do you need to train on that? No deep edges, no jump, you can't do any complex spins, bad for the environment, bad for your blades, overpriced. Just get office spinners and office jumps. YOu can also get inline roller skates from Edea

[@xanaflowerxx5545]

it damages blades

[@Natalie37854]

It doesn't damage blades, but it dulls them very quickly. So you need to get them sharpened very often, which of course shortens their life. I'm a figure skater and I've used synthetic ice.

totally agree. I do not recommend it. It' just like using a good knife on a cheap cutting board in your kitchen!

The coldest place in the world put in a bid for the 2032 Summer Olympics, saying that if we don’t stem global warming, they will be contenders as other areas will simply be far too hot. If that plays out, synthetic ice may be the only way we can ever ice skate in the future. Please keep working to make it as real as possible in case of that future.

How does that even work??? Seems more slippery than ice though..probably because the blades don’t cut through the surface?

not as slippery as ice. A skates blade actually melts the ice at the microscopic level and then hydroplanes as it advances then the water film refreezes instantaneously.
