Figure skating routine in HOCKEY skates?

Hey you guys . . . I just found this . . . I wanted to know what you think!!!





I have always personally thought figure skaters with a hockey background do especially well with footwork. But this guy IS doing this stuff with hockey skates - woo hoo!!!

Figure skating routine in HOCKEY skates?
wow that was interesting! and i think they do better cuase for hockey blades, without the toe pick footwork would need more control. and also how hockey players do those drills
Reply:that is soooooooooo lame and dumb!!! if he wants to ice skate, then why doesn%26#039;t he just wear the proper ice skates?!!! or why doesn%26#039;t he just hockey skate?!!! LAMO!
Reply:all i can say is oneword. wow. hockeyskatesarereallyheavyso woooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww
Reply:WOW!! Never seen somebody that good on hockey skates!
Reply:Oh no... I think I have to rain on this...





I had heard -- but take it as gospel that this was a somewhat modified blade... so it wasn%26#039;t really quite a hockey skate and it wasn%26#039;t really a figure blade either...





But still that is impressive but accounts for why he isn%26#039;t quite as tight and clean as you see with figure skaters.





And I also seem to remember that he was a figure skater that had played hockey as a kid but went on to be a top skater for Canada or somewhere so he was kind of cross trained.





Hope I didn%26#039;t ruin it for you!
Reply:That looks like it would be a little hard. I%26#039;ve only ever skated on figure skates, and it seems like doing those things with hockey skates would be really hard, because the things are in different spots
Reply:wow thats sooo amazing! i cant imagine being able to ever do that stuff on hockey skates, but i guess he%26#039;d be more comfortable in them because he%26#039;s a hockey player, not a figure skater. but that was so cool! his footwork is just exceptional. and i agree, i think skaters with a hockey backround do seem to do rather well when it comes to footwork. thanks for posting! =)
Reply:I loved this! i have seen it before on you tube, its not possibale! i cant skate in hockey skates, but i can do jumps and spins in figure. Hes on amazing guy, he must of been a hockey player at some point. He has oepned a new door, hockey figure skating! aha!
