Does inline skating have any popularity in the young crowd in japan (at all)? I'm going to go visit my grandmother down there in november for a year and I wanted to know If I could bring my rollerblades to ride around there. Would there be anyone riding blades or skating in general around there? I'm going to tokyo and she might bring me to visit my uncle who lives down in osaka so I wanted to know if skatings popular in those areas. And what areas are they popular in (if any)
1 more question. if I have a family member living over in japan and is a native member of the country, does that mean I still need some kind of visa to move over there for good. Cant I just move to the persons house since I have family over there? My grandmother wanted my to move over with her and the family she lives with for a long time and I want to too.
Thanks guys!

In-line skating is very popular in Japan. Take the skates.
You can't just move to Japan even if you have a family member there. You need special dox and Visa. You need to ask at the Japan Embassy nearest your city.

Ice or inline skating?
what's easier to do? inline skating or ice skating? any tips on ice skating too?
Ice or inline skating?
i think ice skating is easier because it doesnt hurt as much when you fall, and its easier to turn and spin. in inline skating if you fall you wont slide as much and it will hurt more. if its your first time skating, stay close to the barrier but if you feel ready you can let go of it. dont try to do hard things like jumps and one foot spins.
Reply:I'm like JM -- I can skate all day, but I can't rollerblade to save my life! It's a different posture that is needed for hockey or inline skates just kills my back! So personally, I think ice skating is easier.
Probably the best tip I can give you for on the ice is keep your knees bent and your arms out for balance. Many times new skaters try to stand up straight, but being stiff doesn't allow much room for error! Good luck!
Reply:ice skating hurts too much lol
Reply:I think it is ice skating but that is my own preference. I can ice skate OK (don't fall down too much, but I can't stop either) but I cannot inline skate. I can't even stand up in the things. My ankles buckle out from underneath me.

Inline skating in NY?

Inline skating in NY?
You didn't say what part of Manhattan you'll be staying in. This list gives you places and parks where you can inline skate, New York City regulations and places to meet other inline skaters.

Which is easier ? Ice Skating Or Inline Skating (roller blading)?
Hi ppl, if you are adept at inline skating, does that makes you an adept skater in the ice skating ring as well ? I havent tried ice skating before, so this questions just suddenly pops into my head =D
Which is easier ? Ice Skating Or Inline Skating (roller blading)?
Stopping, turning, and pushing are all different between ice and rollerblade skating. Spinning and jumping are also radically different. Still, the basic muscles and movements are the same in both, so a lot of your skills are transferable.
I find ice skating easier, but I learned to ice skate before I tried rollerblades. Rollerbladers may find ice skating harder. I think it's easier for someone who can do one of the two sports to learn the other than it is for a person who has never skated before to learn either. (I hope that makes sense.)
Ice skating is more like skiing than rollerblading.
Reply:actually i learned how to roller blade first.. so when i got onto the ice it was an easy transition for me. I think i only fell once when i went ice skating for the first time. if you are okay in inline skating then it will be very easy for you to ice skate. Report It
Reply:Roller blading is easier but Ice skating is more fun because you're gliding across the ice....
Reply:Ice Skating ;)
Reply:It will help knowing how to in-line, yes. Stopping on ice is a lot different, but your ankles will have the strength and flexibility (as well as your toes and tarsals) that you use to skate forward and backward. It will take a learning curve, but yes, it will help you.
Reply:Coming from an ice skating background, I'd have to say ice skating is more "forgiving", not necessarily "easier" as a sport.
That being said, I'd have to say ice skating equipment and surface is "easier" to work with. Most of my ice skating friends would say the same thing (we've all gone out rollerblading together):
1) Rollerblades seem "bulkier" (the boot and the wheels) so it feels like we're skating with bigger "things" on our feet.
2) Because of the "bulk", it's harder to do "skating moves". I know rollerbladers do nearly the same moves as ice skaters, but it's not as "quick" (figure or hockey).
3) Seems like ice is more forgiving. Ice has the slip factor, so you can fudge some moves and still be on your merry way . . . but with cement/floor with wheels there is more traction, more chances to trip (maybe?).
4) Also with the ice being more forgiving, you don't get as scraped up as you would falling on cement/floor (or at least it seems to hurt a heck of a lot more when I fall rollerblading!).
I know hockey players who do both . . . they describe ice as being more forgiving as well. There was one guy though . . . he thought he did better with inline . . . he couldn't deal with the slip and slide factor . . . was more afraid on the ice. So I guess it depends on the person.
I know a lot of ex-roller skaters (the old quad skates) who have excellently adapted to ice skating (figure) . . . they say ice skating is easier . . . and they look like fabulous on the ice with a lot of power (comes from the strength they used with rollers). But quads are a bit different from inline.

Skateboarding, inline skating or bmx?
do you prefer skateboarding, inline skating, or bmx... why... what do you think about the other 2?
for me, its all about skateboarding... in my opinion, it requires alot more skill than inline skating because you have to work to keep your wheels under you but those sissies have theirs attached to the bottom of their feet... you also have all those cool tricks... bmx is pretty cool too...

Reply:Regulations regarding skating on the street or in public places are strickter than in the US, but some kids still enjoy it. As you may know, the father of Yasutoko brothers runs a skatepark in Kobe, which is not far fom Osaka.
