AnswerThere are two basic types of speed skates: Short Track and Long Track. Long track boots are lower cut than short track boots, and the blade is also somewhat flatter than a short track blade.Refer to the link for photos and further information.
someone who skates especially fast, like in hockey.
it really depends on your foot and what fits you best, i like the Bauer skates, because they are light weight and focus on speed.
It depends of the track. Short track like Bristol or Martinsville, the speed limit in 45mph because the pit lane in narrow and the cars are closer to each other.
There are many different thigs that you can wear.If you are indoors, you obviously don't want to be wearing a winter jacket, because you would be way too hot. But if you are outside and in the cold, you probably want to wear more layers, but also things that aren't going to make you the most un-aerodynamic thing out there. If you wear a sin suit, like most skaters do, I personally wear a warm, long sleeve shirt and then the suit over top (when I'm outside) But when I'm inside, i simply wear compression shorts and my skin suit.And then you have to wear skates and a helmet and all that too.
Two words, like figure skates, hockey skates, or roller skates .

If they're dedicated, they should eat pretty much the same as any athlete whose sport calls for short bursts of speed and strength. Like the smaller guys on a football team, or sprinters and short distance track runners.
it really depends on how big a track they are racing at. but if they are at a track like Eldora the top speed there is like 120mph maybe more.
Some skates have smaller wheels. These are generally on artistic style skates. I believe the idea behind it is that they have less surface area on the floor to slide better when twirling and such to be more similar to ice skating styles. They are also less likely to collide with each other and lock up. If you don't think you like this kind, look into speed skates. They have the larger wheels and are popular right now.
You don't. If you don't want to buy ice skates, then don't.
not really i mean if you are like really fat it will but i know this sort fat guy that skates at my park and hes one of the best guys there
