Of course not. Freaks are people who you can't explain their actions. Skaters are just getting exercise and having fun.

I love figure skating. The skaters are in great shape and are very athletic. Plus, I admire the way they get up and continue a routine even after they have fallen and messed up their chances of winning. That takes fortitude and guts.\n\nHave to call them as I see them.

Ummmm, they won both the silver and bronze medals in Pairs Figure Skating in Torino and numerous medals in short and long track speed skating.  Not to mention summer olympics where they are leaders in diving and gymnastics. For lists of athletes, see http://www.olympics.org

About 12 years ago, I bought a weight lifting machine called the Gravity Edge.  It was supposed to use your own body weight to lift.  It worked great, only cost about $400 but I lost interest after a few months.

Yes, as well as strengthening the ankles, calfs and legs.\n\nThe act of jumping provides a soft impact on the joints of the legs, thus, hindering the chance of injury. \n\nBalancing on one leg with weights is a good method to increase strength within the entire leg region (ankles, calves, knees, etc).

Heck Yes!!! It would be considered an extreme sport, like skating or snowboarding. But the difference is that you are way more extreme. You only have one wheel!!!
