What is special about speed-skating skates?
The Speed skating skates have no stopper but if you are good at speed skating you don't need them. They have very large wheels to make them go faster. They don't have any ankle support so you must have very strong ankles, but if only just starting speed skating your ankles will get stronger as you progress.
What is the speed of skates?
The skates them self don't move unless someone moves them. But when you are wearing them they only move as fast as you. I guess you go to through alot or research to find the maximum velocity of a speed skate, but I don't know why you would want to do so :p
Are v fox speed skates good?
You get what you pay for. Expensive skates are usually worth the money, however cheaper skates are usually pretty good too. Note: They're made in China, so its unlikely the build quality will approach handmade custom skates from the United States, Canada, Japan, Netherlands and such.

What is a good hockey skate under 300 dollars for a bantam player?
If your looking for good skates, I would try looking for top-of-the-line skates from past years. Companies come out with new lines of products almost every year which makes the older models go down in price. Skates do not change too much from year to year, so you can get a really nice pair of skates from say 2-3 years ago.Some places to check:Hockeymonkey.com/clearanceThehockeyshop.comTotalhockey.netPlayersbench.com

What was the name of the flying island Write about the strange looking people of the flying island?
The most famous "flying island" I know of is Laputa, from Gulliver's Travels. It's been a while since I've read it, but I don't recall the people there looking particularly strange (as opposed to acting strange), so you're going to have to do that part of your homework for yourself.

What is the difference between hockey skates and figure skates?
Figure skate blades are thicker, and the balance point is at the back, with more blade extending past the heel compared to hockey skates. They also have toe picks, to help with jumps and other maneuvers for figure skating. Figure skates are also "rockered" differently, meaning the blade curves differently, so turning is different in figure skates compared to hockey skates, as the balance is different. Figure skate blades are thicker, too, so they can be faster, as you have more blade contact to push off of. Hockey skates have no toe picks, as with toe picks, if you accidentally drag your foot or put it too far forward on the ice, you can fall. Also, hockey skates are balanced more neutrally, in the middle of the skate, which helps with recovering balance during the fast maneuvering and contact in the game. Hockey skates have thinner blades, so compared to figure skates, you're going to apply less power to the ice, but they glide a little bit easier than figure skates. Also, compared to figure skates, hockey skates have much tougher construction, as they have to be able to take pucks/sticks, etc.
Why does figure skates need to be laced up?
