This is a YouTube video of the Pic-Skate creator (Nick Perna) demonstrating the similarities between Pic-Skates and figure skates.  Obviously, he and Debbie Prachar (co-demonstrator) are both high-level skaters who could strap knives under their slippers and knock out a few flying camels.

However, the videography is excellent, especially for the on-ice portions.  The loved watching them do three-turns, brackets and other one-foot turns - you could see the front of the blade lift off the ice for the back outside three turn.

(The video link above is queued to start at the mid-point, where the footage I mentioned appears.  If you want, just click "Replay" to see the full video.)
