Roller Skates vs Ice Skates?
So I love to watch skating, and this winter I plan to learn some of the basics to skating, maybe do some Learn To Skate classes.
I don’t live somewhere that has ice rinks near me all year, but I wanted to get a head start so I don’t embarrass myself at these classes (LOL). I’m not trying to do anything difficult, but I want to get the best head start.
Right now, I own just regular basic rollerblades that I know how to move around in. (nothing hard, but i can just like go forward, backwards, i can kind of do crossovers?, nothing real just basic things.) How different are ice skates from roller blades?
Follow up—I’ve seen people use like what looks like ice skates but with wheels? Is this different than a regular roller-skate?
I guess my question is: If I want to learn to skate and cannot access ice yet, what roller-skates/inline skates/whatever would you guys recommend? I don’t really have a specific budget or anything, so if anyone has any recommendations that could be great!!
