It's the skater, not the equipment?

Ok, that's obviously a stretch. But check out Jeremy Abbot in rental hockey skates!

Wow! That's some fancy footwork, and a double at the end!

I always liked the in-between elements in Jeremy's skating, and this shows it off.

Is it plastic ice too?

I was wondering that myself and looked it up. He said he's in Sun Valley, and the website says they have one of the few year-round outdoor ice rinks in the country. Must be awfully expensive to maintain in the warmer weather.

Brilliant!   Here's another in a similar vein:

Harry wing don't need no stinkin' ice.  Or toe picks.

I'm convinced that once you get to a certain point, all skating is the same.  That's why I can take lessons on inline skates from a roller skating coach, and go and immediately apply the results on ice.

@twinskaters it sounds amazing!
