I've done both but would love to everyone else is opinion. It seems like Ice skating would be harder because it is more slippery but l actually think it is easier. What do you think?
Yeah, l think once you know how to roller skate, Ice skating is easy. When l first did it, l went out naturally like a pro. But when l first did roller skating, that crap took me FOREVER to learn.

l would say rollerskating is harder to learn, but ice skating can hurt more.

Ice Skating, l had to use a walker the last time l went. It was pretty funny!

l found rollerskating harder. perhaps it is because you really can not lean into a turn, and the bulk of the skates makes it harder to do crossover steps. Perhaps it is also due to the fact that l grew up ice skating and only did rollerskating a couple of times.

Ice skating is harder dude. l never ice skated so l will try and l think its hard by even watching it.

Hmm, depends, there about the same for the most part, unless your at roller rink using the old style roller blades not the newer hockey like roller blades. THe old style roller blades are hard for people who have never bladed before, l mean on ice you can hit cracks, on land you can hit cracks. And it hurts pretty equally when falling

l personally think roller skating is harder..

when you fall on ice it doesnt hurt as much as outside

and also roller skating is more hard core
Mad     Reply with quote
l say roller skating. l can ice skate just find. But when it comes to roller skating l cant stand or stop lol
Dragon     Reply with quote
ice
i can do both very well but its a bit harder on ice cuz its harder to stop and you have less traction on the surface
Cat     Reply with quote
ice skatig is harder if you fall it is on hard ice where if your roller skating you can jump to grass or fall on your but without it hurting as bad as falling on hard ice!
Blake     Reply with quote
roller skating was easier for me but l went rollerskating
after l went ice skating but l say 50-50
Coach     Reply with quote
l would say ice beacuse at the end you might fall and it hurts more to hit ice than the wood also when you scate for way to lonf you will get bliters there you go
Kim     Reply with quote
l find ice skating to be easier because of the blade behind your heel - it helps to balance your weight if you lean backwards. Ice skates are also much lighter than roller skates and usually have ankle support built in.
Lostyo     Reply with quote
Well for me l would say Ice because I've not done it yet. Roller skating is easy because you can get it used it and hold on to something. But it does both hurt to fall down( l would say) but that is my opinion.
Bobyer     Reply with quote
well when you ice skate you have to make sure you lace your shoes really tight or else your ankles will start to hurt. l guess when you rollerblade you have a little bit more balance, but they are both pretty easy.

For me Roller Skating is harder becuz l used 2 be an ice skater for 5 years. But its really the person whos ice skating or roller blading. When l was still doing ice skating l twas going really fast & tried to do one of the ice skating stops & pratically wip-ed out like 10 ppl.lol!

If you know how to rollar skate very good it is not that hard to ice skate
Que     Reply with quote
l think ice skating is easier for some reason.. l know it is kind of weird! roller skating is more hard for me! but.. inline roller skates are much more easier for me to skate on :)

l think roller skating is harder, because l am a figure skater and l dont think its that hard to glide on 2 blades, but it might be hard for everyone else
=D
krystal     Reply with quote
Im a figure skater and l roller skated for 2 years before l started figure skating. l love ice skating!!! It is sooo much easier than roller skating!!! The only reason why people say ice skating is harder is because of the toe picks. This is why a ton of people fall down!! roller skating is harder for me because, there is a bigger chance to fall backwards and forwards. Inline skating is easier though!

l knew how to ice skate before roller skating, and l still do not really roller skate much. ice skating is soo cool. l think roller skating is easier.
laser     Reply with quote
l would say ice skating.

ICE SKATING by a long shot. Rollerskating you have wider 'blades' l would recomend you to get used to roller blades hen step up to iceskates.

The low friction environment of ice skating means 'new' skaters will tend to go faster, sooner, on ice skates than inline skates - as there is less resistance to overcome per stroke. In speed skating, both inline & ice r complex movements that require a lot of practice to master. Inline skating is known for being physically tougher, ice skating for being less technically forgiving (requires a higher level of movement precision).

If you're learning/practicing outdoors on varied pavement surfaces, inline skates have a lower rolling resistance than conventional (quad) rollerskates (you will go further per stroke), more ankle support, & offer more front-to-back stability (meaning you're less likely to fall forwards when hitting uneven pavement or debris on inline skates than u r on quad rollerskates). Learning at a rink or skating center is easier for a real beginner.
