Problem or not ice skates / ice skating?

When I have my ice skates on the cement in our house(they are new by the way didnt try them yet) they have like a bump in the middle and you can lean back and it goes back you lean forward and it goes forward? Is it supposed to be like that or is it supposed to be straight with no bumps?

You should never walk on cement or a surface besides ice (that%26#039;s not the rubber pad in that you walk on out to the ice surface) without hard guards on, but make sure that unless you are walking in them that you take them off and put soft soakers on so that your blades don%26#039;t rust. The %26quot;bump%26quot; in the skate is called the rocker which allows you to skate without having your toe pick rub the ice all of the time which would make skating very tough.
Reply:well first of all you should never walk on cement or really anything without gards it wears the blade down. and yes they should have a rocker (the bump in the middle) you should be able to balance them by themselves on a flat surface, this is used for spinning and other moves
Reply:I assume you mean the blades? If your blades were straight, you%26#039;d be using speed skates. Figure skates and hockey skates have a slightly curved blade so you can maneuver. Speed skaters just want to go fast so the entire blade makes contact with the ice.
