Does Roller Blading help you balance when you Ice Skate?

I want to know this because, i learned how to roller blade after i found out that i couldn't take ice skating lessons( this was 3 years ago) so i practiced skating on my sisters roller blades


and i know how to skate on it now. Does that mean it MIGHT be easier for me to be able to balance on ice?

Does Roller Blading help you balance when you Ice Skate?
i started playing ice hockey since i was 2 and know i am 14 so i thought i would answer this





ok it does some what but not much because on ice it is much much slippery then on land and if u fall u fall u cant do anything bout it but keep trying so keep up the good work
Reply:i think so.





because i have been skating since i was two years old (now im 16) and i cant rollerblade for crap.





i tried to last summer, and it just didnt work out for me.





thing is though, i think that ice skating is easier than rollerblading because...idk why but i just think that it is easier to balance on ice.





so i think youll be fine on the ice, if not better
Reply:Roller blading and ice skating aren't exactly the same. They do share some similarities, but are also very different at the same time. Balancing on the ground in roller blades and balancing on a thin metal blade on ice are quite a bit different from each other.
Reply:Personally I found that rollerblading helps me to balance on the ice. I rollerbladed all through college and now my children figure skate. When I go out with them for an open skate I am able to skate around okay.





Stopping is a completely different issue! I still can't do that on ice.
Reply:I've been figure skating for 5 years.. but cant roller blade. Lol i dunno, i think its cos on roller blades the brakes are at the back of the boot.. and if u leant back to stop in ice skates, ud be in trouble! Theyre just.. different!
Reply:while roller blading is not exactly like skating, it is very similar, if you've been practicing on roller blades, skating should be easier
Reply:well its different for everyone. i find roller blading very difficult at not at all like skating.





if you want to get better you just need to keep practicing.
Reply:ice skate have edges so some people thing that skating is easier..but ya it should help
Reply:yep it helps. i roller bladed a lot before i went and i didnt need to use the handle bars
