Figure Skating on KwikRink V synthetic ice

Demonstration Figure skating on synthetic ice

[N]

If you're gonna use this, according to the people in the comments who actually tried it:
-It's harder to skate on than ice
-Spins are incredibly difficult
-Edge jumps are possible, but toe jumps are NOT
-Your blades become dull way more easily and you have to sharpen them more often
-You can not get as deep of an edge on it
-You probably want to get a cheaper pair of skates to use one it so you don't accidentally ruin your expensive ones.

This is the type of video that will have millions of views in like 6 years for no reasons

Look at how wide she needs to keep feet and there's a lot of breaking at the waist (forward bending on the lower back). Obviously, this person knows how to skate well, but she's not performing the way she normally would with this product.

This stuff I AWFUL to skate on, I'm highly impressed haha

[SrTmmyShp]

She looks really uncomfortable and like she doesn't trust it, I wouldn't either.
Witch is why I havnt bought it.

I’m not a skater but even I wouldn’t trust this 🥴

I've tried a different brand of synthetic ice and it's a little different just because it's not actual ice. It has more of a grab to it and I feel like I'm skating through water. So because I'm skating on a slippery synthetic it just feels different.with all the ice rings closed for a little bit I did like skating on the synthetic ice. I can literally set it up in my apartment and skate at home so it's the best that I had. It definitely is different and I would recommend it.

It’s actually SO impressive that u can do this on synthetic ice knowing it’s a lot harder to do anything on there

[mackenziegallagher]

can you do jumps like flip, loop, lutz... on synthetic ice?

[Werepie]

looks like she's making a point to avoid that big gap between two pieces on the right as well.

I'm no pro, but dropping your skate into that gap probably wouldn't end too well.

[elainavolkov]

i think the reason why she looks uncomfortable is because there’s not a lot of room for her to skate on. she keeps looking to see where should she skate next and that explains why she’s not doing turns, tricks, etc. idk i’m not a skater but that’s what i see.

Dont reccomend. Normal ice melts away from your blade. Thats how you get a deep edge. Synthetic ices doesn't do that

[aurorarising]

I feel like this is a good idea for people who get cold easily. And also to help you get used to wearing skates and finding your balance before going on real ice 🧊

[tarantulabunnydog]

I don’t know why but this makes me uncomfortable

[meiling]

Hmmm I was thinking of getting this, since the ice rink I train at is closed and I NEED to train. But seeing how uncomfortable she is, I'm having second thoughts.

Here before it got to millions of views that will be recommended 5-10 years later

[miedoescenico]

That looks so cool!!
And you skate so good!!💞

[makaylasuchenstein]

Ohhh, I saw something like this on Shark Tank a couple years ago. They didn't fund the little company though because it was too expensive.

[akariahuhu]

This was recommended to me even though I don't watch any kind of ic skating, so.. I suppose this video will blow up??

The coldest place in the world put in a bid for the 2032 Summer Olympics, saying that if we don’t stem global warming, they will be contenders as other areas will simply be far too hot.
If that plays out, synthetic ice may be the only way we can ever ice skate in the future. Please keep working to make it as real as possible in case of that future. (Not that it’s a future I wish for).
