Question by Melinda: I NEED A LOT OF GENERAL INFO ABOUT SPEED SKATING!!! HELP PLEASE!?
i have some figure skates from a while ago and i know how to skate well already?and i?m interested in doing speed skating as a sport (beginner).
do speed skaters use different skates then figure skates or hockey skates?? can i use my figure skates? i mean, i want to do it as a real sport, and improve too so i need the real thing before i find a club to join?i saw someone at the ice rink with something different looking?

1. then, if they do use something different, can u provide some pictures of those skates? and what do they feel like to skate in? is there picks? :D

2. and do they sell them at athletic/sports stores where they also sell hockey skates/figure skates?
