This is our first figure skating Vlog! In it, we are looking at the answer "Can an Olympic Figure Skater Roller Skate?"
When the ice rinks are closed, we turn to off ice solutions with wheels! In order to test this out, Lloyd takes his ice skates into his shed, removes his figure skating blades and attaches something called off ice skating blades! They are basically Roller Skating wheels that can attach to the bottom of your ice skates, and have a very uncreative name.
There is a slight difference between these and regular inlines/roller skates! The wheels on these are not at the same level, which means the rocker of the figure skating blade is emulated. Regular inline skates would have all the wheels in s straight line, which makes 3 turns and other moves very challenging for figure skaters.

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.

[@Aspen_Husky]

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 😂😂

[@IceCoachOnline]

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?

[@Aspen_Husky]

@@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!

[@IceCoachOnline]

@@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!

😂 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".

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 🙂

[@swinxfee]

These have a toe pick too,so?

[@maryomahony3550]

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.

[@IceCoachOnline]

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!

[@IceCoachOnline]

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!

[@DragonBornGirl50]

@@IceCoachOnline definetly there is sooo much more friction it can throw you off ahaha

[@carriebirchall8053]

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.

[@obscvritas3601]

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.

[@IceCoachOnline]

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 😂

[@rosemaryY995]

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

[@5hr3DDy]

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.

[@IceCoachOnline]

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 😭

[@kuro758]

@@IceCoachOnline no rinks nearby?

[@KxNOxUTA]

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. 😉

[@IceCoachOnline]

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!

[@KxNOxUTA]

@@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!

[@IceCoachOnline]

@@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!

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.

[@BryanSheasby]

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 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 💞

[@hei8003]

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.

[@drsuessl]

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 ❤️❤️

[@TheThunderkan]

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!

[@stefaniaponitz5738]

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.

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 😂

[@martabrustenga396]

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.

[@IceCoachOnline]

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?

[@martabrustenga396]

I do artistic roller skating! I have an Edea rondo boot with the variant playe and giotto wheels. I use quads though

[@IceCoachOnline]

Have you tried ice skating too? If so, how did it compare for you?

[@britishairwaysptfs5420]

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.

[@quentinmartjno]

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😂✌🏼

[@crickket_]

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

[@hanna_maria]

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

[@nebulonicc]

Kinda looks like how I feel when my skates are sharpened too deep

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-

[@Gingie.gingerson]

I started blading when I was 6 and love it got into ice skating this last month at 29

[@magscovers8924]

[@IceCoachOnline]

Lol! Do you manage to skate okay on rough surfaces too?

[@gemjamjones2656]

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!

[@skelly9381]

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

[@IceCoachOnline]

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.

[@rainbowgirlism]

@@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.

[@e3silversurfer]

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.

[@IceCoachOnline]

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 🙂

[@wess0656]

Agora estou me sentindo internamente humilhado por não conseguir fazer metade do que eles aprenderam em 10 minutos :') Obrigado.

[@claudianowakowski]

@@IceCoachOnline I am curious how you would compare all of these brands. I have the other two. I have never tried Off Ice. I am a former ice skater (not at your level, but accomplished) and never could just jump on those things and do what I did on ice, especially spins. Now I quad roller skate. I won't even bother to spin on those, though I did as a teen. Now try it on quads. Thanks for the great video.

[@IceCoachOnline]

@@claudianowakowski I would love to compare all of these brands! I don't have the budget to buy them all though and the various companies ignored my messages unfortunately! I would love to give quads a go actually and compare them. So I might look to purchase a pair. I have friends who could do triple jumps in quad skates before transitioning over to the ice, so I would like to see what they are like for myself.

[@claudianowakowski]

@@IceCoachOnline It's too bad the companies will not send you a pair to review. Try again. Maybe with the current situation, they will feel differently. There are likely thousands of ice skaters looking for off-ice practice right now. IMO, Pics helped me to build strength. When I got back on the ice and pushed, I had more power. Thanks for the reply. I know a lot of ppl who quad and ice skated.

[@IceCoachOnline]

@@claudianowakowski They didn't really see the big picture unfortunately! Maybe it will change. On the plus side, the fact I paid for everything myself, it means I can be 100% honest with everyone about my experiences as I have absolutely no incentive to push a product. I can see how they helped build your strength up, my legs worked hard using them thanks to the increased resistance with the rough surfaces. A lot of people have given me some fantastic insight into roller skating in these comments, I really want to try sticking quads on the bottom of some old skates now!

[@RollingInTuneTV]

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!

[@emily-xc8ny]

I feel cheated,, these are roller blades 😔😔 jk lmao I rlly enjoyed the video,, y'all look like naturals wow

[@grobanite4ever85]

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!

[@IceCoachOnline]

@@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!

[@tranquilitytranquility1407]

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!

[@IceCoachOnline]

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 !

[@KxNOxUTA]

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.

[@IceCoachOnline]

@@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!

[@NetiNeti001]

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.

[@bloodshedcrimsonclover]

You could have made a two-second video with the words: Yes, very well

[@IceCoachOnline]

haha but I wanted to create a video about the journey getting there

[@lenap319]

When you went out on the concrete with the ice blades, i felt that in my soul

[@burlapsacc]

Those are rollerblades, not skates.

[@courteneyperry5274]

It’s like ice skating only wheels without blades. Well done.

[@IceCoachOnline]

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!

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...
