The proof that skating is popular in Britain!

I recently heard that roller-skating is really popular among British people. I don't know if it is true or not. If it's true, I want to know why.   Aki, Fujian Province

Everyone has heard of roller skating but do many people do it in the UK? What's the difference between roller skating and rollerblading?

Skating instructor Mike van Erp tells us more about the sport and why he thinks it's popular in Britain. He teaches us lots of vocabulary connected to the sport as well.

So become a skating expert with this week's Ask About Britain!
