[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do kids in this sport tend to try both ice and roller and then choose one? What are the differences between the two sports that make someone choose one or the other? I have only seen talented roller skaters on the streets, with amazing skills, and I didn’t realize it was an organized sport. [/quote]
Street skaters do indeed have amazing skills! So do some of the weekend night skaters at the rink.

It's really rare for a 'skater' to do both ice and roller (VA native Natalie Motley is an exception)....and I think they 'pick' based on what they're first exposed to or get the opportunity to try. Ice skaters have to deal with the cold, roller skaters with the smell of stale popcorn. /s

If you want to see it done beautifully, check out Rebecca Tarlazzi (ITA) on youTube. The South Americans also have a terrific roller tradition too, especially in team/group events.[/quote]

Well, I learned something new today. She is amazing and to my amateur eye, she looks like a figure skater on ice. Cool sport! [/quote]
