BACKSTORY: Ice skating is the self-propulsion and gliding of a person across an ice surface, using metal-bladed ice skates. People skate for various reasons, including recreation (fun), exercise, competitive sports, and commuting. Ice skating may be performed on naturally frozen bodies of water, such as ponds, lakes, canals, and rivers; and on man-made ice surfaces such as ice rinks, ice hockey rinks, and arenas, both indoors and outdoors.

Various formal sports involving skating have emerged since the 19th century. Ice hockey, Bandy, and Ringette are team sports played with, respectively, a flat sliding puck, a ball and a rubber ring. Figure skating, speed skating, Ice cross downhill and Barrel jumping are among the sporting disciplines for individuals. (SOURCE: Wikipedia)

BACKSTORY: Roller skating is traveling on surfaces with roller skates. It is a recreational activity, a sport, and a form of transportation. Roller rinks and skate parks are built for roller skating, though it also takes place on streets, sidewalks, and bike paths.

Roller skating originated in the performing arts in the 18th century. It gained widespread popularity starting in the 1880s. Roller skating was very popular in United States from the 1930s to 1950s, then again in the 1970s when it was associated with disco music and roller discos. During the 1990s, inline outdoor roller skating became popular.

Sport roller skating includes speed skating, roller hockey, roller derby, figure skating and aggressive quad skating. (SOURCE: Wikipedia)
