they are better for defensive players because they are harder for blocking shots. They are also wider then both reebok and ccm which are considered wide but if you are looking for speed reebok is better but ccm has the most speed associated skates
-------------------------------
Graf skates are better because they allow for more customizable fitting options. Each model number in the Graf 700 and G series boots represents a different foot type. For example, the 703 model (or the higher end G3) fits a narrow heel and narrow ball of the foot, the 705 (G5) fits a standard width ball and heel, and the 735 (G35) model fits a regular width ball of the foot and a narrow heel.
Graf also uses materials throughout the boot that allow for easy fitting customization and comfort adjustments through heating and/or stretching.
Reebok and CCM skates are all made with the same generic foot mold, and, depending on the model, allow for little customization, if any.
The one issue most players have with Graf skates is the angle (or pitch) of the runners. The ideal skating position is to have your knees bent with a very low center of gravity. The Graf Cobra 3000 or 5000 holders (standard on the 700 or G series boots) are designed to force you get into this position. Other brands don't do this to the same extent, if at all, making any conversion to Graf skates a challenge for some.
No matter what position you play though, the best skate for you is always the best fitting one, regardless of brand name or cost. Get fit by a skate professional and don't be lured by marketing hype. Your feet and your game will thank you.

Are small skates better then big skates?
It depends on the size of the foot. You should wear skates that fit the foot for comfort and safety. Other than that, it makes no difference.
Why are roller skates safe?
Roller blades are much faster and better. The roller skates are not as flexible as roller blades are. It's much safer to wear roller blades than roller skates and roller skates are likely to trip you up than roller blades. Also roller blades have more control than roller skates.

Are corr z4 works ata 990 2009 aggressive skates good?
No! Corr skates are below entry level. Go with name brand aggressive skates like Rollerblade, USD, Razor, Remz, K2 or something like that. Corr skates are very uncomfortable and do not offer a good surface for grinding and learning tricks. If you are looking for a good deal check out skateaggressive.com, they have a ton of skates on sale that are much better than any Corr skate out there. http://sale.skateaggressive.com/adult-aggressive-skates/c1000004374/
Why are ice skates different than the other kinds of skates?
Ice skates are different because they have blades on them and they are designed differently than per Se roller skates. Roller skates have more padding and have wheels on them, while figure skates have blades on them. If one wanted to compare a figure skate to a hockey skate, for example, a hockey skate does not have toe-picks while a figure skate does. Hope this helps :)
Which is better skating or bmxing?
There's really no point in talking about "better" in a case like this. Skates are possibly a bit more practical. Skates are easier to travel with than a BMX. Stick them in a bag and you're done. Skates takes less space to store. Since they're easier to store, they're less likely to get stolen. Since there are fewer parts, skates are less likely to break. A BMX - with brakes - is a bit easier to use in traffic. Although compared to most other bikes, BMXes sucks for distance riding.
Does a roller skates way more than a kilogram?
yes
How can you tell if a flag you have is from the battleship Graf Spre?
Cloth flags are easy to fake. Graf Spee was a battlecruiser with 11 inch guns, and NOT A BATTLESHIP. Even the old Russian battleships from the Tsushima battle in 1905 had bigger guns than Graf Spee, they had 12 inch guns, and "they" were 30 years old when Graf Spee was built!
How did the Hindenburg compare to the Zeppelin?

Is it easier to learn to skate on figure skates or hockey skates?
Neither, really. It mostly depends on what you decide to start with. People who skate in hockey skates generally fall over on the toe picks when they try figure skates, and even accomplished figure skaters say they feel like they're gonna fall over when they put on hockey skates. So it's pretty subjective. One thing I can say from personal experience, figure skates encourage much better posture and skating technique than hockey skates, as figure skates require you to straighten your back out much more to skate in/not fall over on the toepicks in them compared to hockey skates, I started in hockey skates and switched to figure like a week ago, so yeah. The only bad part of figure skates is, if you get a higher end pair to just start out in, the toe picks will be close to the ice, so if you lean forward much at all, you'll fall on your face. The other issue is, up to about the 80s, figure skates were made of a single layer of leather, that you could move your ankle around in, like a combat boot. I find these really really hard to skate in, due to the lack of ankle support, compared to hockey boots. I'm sure if you start in them, you can eventually get used to them, but after starting in hockey skates, I could not at all. However, newer figure skates are as stiff/stiffer than most hockey skates, so that's no longer an issue, but I'm just saying this if you find some cheap $20 brand new Chinese "figure skates" or find some older skates at a garage sale or something.
