it's easier since you have way more support plus it's not as smooth as figure skating and you can barely do spins

It would be hard though, there are a lot of things you can do while figure skating but not while roller skating

@@Njx063 wait... roller skaters can barely do spins? You mean like a inner back and outer back, outer forward and inner forward sit spins, heel camels, inverted camels, traveling camels, catch foot spins (Bielman and I-spins)... all those spins. I know I’ve left several out (broken ankle spin to name one). With many skaters easily doing 8+ revolutions per position? We can barely spin? I must’ve missed something. And we actually have LESS support as our boots for free skating are typical much softer and not as hard as they use in ice. And our wheels can tend to roll every which way unlike a blade. I am NOT saying ice is easy to do- I am NOT. I am definitely saying that roller skating is NOT easier than ice.

@@rubymcdonagh3971 true- and vice-versa.

@@rubymcdonagh3971 it's almost as if it's a different sport and not necessarily trying to be figure skating.

The first 3A's were done in competition in 2001 and 2002.. then there were more by 2006.. and none since, sadly.. I suspect there are many on the way with the rise of the teen stars.

@@rolaboi ngl madelena costa could probably be doing 3A in the future, although ive only seen her do 2A. Theres a girl in my rink whos 13 and JWC and i think she's currently working on 3A!

It is the strength on the leg, I think. Since I do my axels like that on rollerskates. We never ever use the toestop.

@@jimmusic9114 that’s why we grow so much more body muscle than ice skaters 😂😂

lol.. funnily enough, he did switch to ice and competed at several European events. Dario Betti

You can do a triple axel, sure 😂

Loop?

Boekle. Not sure that is spelled right. skating forward on right foot, jump off that right foot with 1 1/2 revolution, land backwards on same foot. Not done very often, but not terribly difficult.

Personally I find it harder on roller skates as they are MUCH heavier and I find wheel less smooth than skating on ice

A little bit late, but as the comment above said, a triple axel on roller skates is way more difficult than on ice, the weight of the skates with the wheels are enormous

Saranghae Gfriend that'll be a bell jump

What is it then? Shut up, you don't know anything

Jake Dufflebags no its not its not even bootleg its more funner

Not everyone has access to ice rinks to skate on. I live four hours from the closest ice rink. So if a person wants to skate artistically then their best bet is to roller skate.

This video is literal proof that it's not a bootleg copy of figure skating

Respect to all skaters and their talent & hard work, but the moves originated on ice by ice skaters so roller skating is a copy of the original form. Fair or not, the reality is: it's always the First that counts, not the imitators. What major moves originated on roller rinks then copied on ice? When roller skaters invent a new move, they won't be the copy anymore.

patimuse we do have moves that figure skaters don’t have. Do you even know what is “obrigatory figures”?
