They're different so do both.\n\nI don't think you can directly compare the two.

Cycling is the perfect blend of sport, entertainment, travel and plain old, everyday transport. That's quite a combination of attributes!\n\nCycling is also one of the best three sports for all round fitness (along with rowing and swimming). No muscles or joints are overstressed, yet everything gets a workout. \n\nCycling is companionable and you can do it till you're old - recently in the Pyrenees two guys overtook me going up the mountains. Later as I struggled into the mountain-top village they were sitting outside a cafe having a beer and smoking merrily! They were well into their 70's and very fit despite the fags.\n\nCycling is accessible to everyone, of every ability and you can race, or potter about, in cities or in the country as you feel.\n\nI love cycling.

Its all about how you feel and how you ride.  If you tend to do more freeriding you want an alpine style setup (positive angle on front binding and 0 or positive angle on your back binding).  If you do more park or street rails you want to go duck footed (positive angle on front binding and negative angle on back binding).  Try differet setups out to see what you like best and remember its all about personal preference and everyone's setup is different.  The more traditional, beginner setup is +15 degrees front, and 0 degrees back.  I myself ride +15 front and -12 back.

yes its a sport\nbeen skating for far far too long, don't get up as fast i once did from falls now.  skating with people better than you is one of the best ways to get good fast, but personaly i think "kids" are jumping into some complicated tricks too quickly without getting all the basics down.  i was by far my worst critic, but probably skated for several years, everyday, before i felt i was any good at it.  i suck now i think, just don't get out enough, but people that don't skate are still impressed.  but yeah if you can find and skate with people better than you, ask for pointers, don't get "the fear" and you should be fine.

Running, by far.  If I run for about 10 minutes I can burn about 100 calories.  It would take me 20 minutes to burn that many calories by biking.\n\n(Although if you are trying to get somewhere, it is definitely faster to bike!)

Go to a bike store.  I like Schwinn Cruisers personally.

You want something that fits good and feel comfortable.  I wouldnt suggest going out and getting the most expensive top of the line skate, but don't buy the cheapest either! In-line skates come with wheel bearings that have a number rateing associated with them, if you have ever ice skated in your life and are pretty good then you can go with a APEC 5 bearing and do well, if you are a true all out beginner, stick with an APEC 3 bearing.  The lower the number the less speed you can generate while skating.  You want something with plenty of ankle suport too, you might not get the prettiest pair on the rack, but if you are serious about skating on the regular you dont need to worry about a fashion show do you?  Also get something with a REAR break on it, stay away from hockey skate replicas!  Try going to a sporting goods store, stay away from Wal*mart and stores like that.  Usually the people in those department are extremely helpful.  I hope I shed a little light on the subject for you!  Good luck and have fun skating.\n\nOH PS - Get a helmet, again you arent in a fashion show!  Protect your noggin!  If you are a real beginner you WILL fall!

Cycling would probably be your best.

Stationary bike is the best thing for a hockey player. Also focus on excercising your core muscles (Abs, back, glutes)

Not hard at all. Much easier than roller skating. If you can ice skate, you can roller blade. Find someone who already knows how, start slow and wear your protective equipment and you'll be going the first day. Remember to keep your feet apart at first, and don't lean too far forward or backwards. Anyone reasonably athletic can do it the first time.

Gymnastics and I'm not just saying that since i absolutely LOVE gymnastics.Just like gymnastics, figure skating is judged by judges of that sport. First off, in figure skating you must have balance right? Well then try out the beam! Try walking across it with your eyes closed! Then try doing tricks on the beam. If you have a lot of balance you will be able to be a great skater! If you want to be able to do tricks and spins...then you must practice that during gymnastics. Plus, gymnastics is the best sport in the world. It is so fun! And....its not as hard as you think it is. Learning how to do flips and stuff during gymnastics will really help you preform tricks on the ice! Good luck! :))

I think swimming, though if you are not an avid swimmer it is difficult to really get in a good workout. Spinning is great because almost anyone can do it and get a good workout. If you want some real fun though get a bike and get in with a group doing road biking!

Hockey No Doubt. It Is Legal To Check You, It Is Legal To Fight ( It Results In A 5 Min Penalty But Talk To The Players And Its Worth It )You Have To Know How To Ice Skate, ( Which Can Be Murder On Your Ankles Especially If You Dont Know How To Skate ) Oh And Did I Mention The Puck Comes At You At Speeds Of 98 MHP?!!!!!! Yes Its Hockey

Skiiing is easier to learn but a lot harder to become good at.  Snowboarding is harder to learn but a lot easier to become good.  You can spend all season trying to acomplish tasking runs on skii's but you could be hitting 15 foot kickers and carving deep powder by the end of a season on a snowboard.

i think ur in the wrong section, this is for cycling and u dont ollie  on bike. \n\nbut anyways, if u wanna ollie on a skateboard, u need to smack the back of the board down while pushing ur front foot down on the board and give a slight jumping motion. its gotta be done really fast but if done correctly, u will have the perfect ollie.
