High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Xtreme Ice Skating is an all year round extreme sport on ice where the purpose is to perform tricks, similar to those seen in skateboarding, aggressive inline skating, and biking. Xtreme Ice Skating is a relatively new sport founded in 2005 by Dan Perceval. The sport is practiced mostly by young people who are extreme sport enthusiasts. The sport can be found in ice rinks throughout the world during public skating sessions. The sport`s participants are thrill seekers who enjoy taking risks while performing tricks on the ice. The skating style is hard, fast, wild, and creative. The tricks involved fall into the following categories: jumps, stops, turns, slides, spins, hops, shifts & pivots, kicks, and footwork. The sport is either practiced in solidarity or with friends. Participants try to make use of the entire ice. The sport`s participants use hockey skates, however a few (namely figure skaters) use figure skates to practice the sport. The sport does not entail any kind of break-dance movement(s) as commonly misconceived. The sport has its own ice-skate in development called "Xtreme Ice Skates."
