Top 5 Legendary Players who have Changed the Skating Game

Any activity that includes moving along surfaces or ice while wearing skates or runners with blades is referred to as skating. Skating is still a relatively new activity, but it is gaining popularity among young people at a very rapid rate. Skating can be interpreted broadly to include both skateboarding and roller skating. The latter uses a board with wheels attached to the bottom of its surface to skate and execute tricks, as opposed to the former, which uses wheels attached to the bottom of shoes to glide around the surfaces. 

In this article, we will take a look at the top five skaters who have made a significant contribution to the development of the sport and to gaming history.
