ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Artistic roller skating

Okay kiddo, let me explain artistic roller skating to you like you're five years old.

Artistic roller skating is when people wear special roller skates and they do cool tricks and dances on them. Some skaters wear outfits that are sparkly and pretty, just like costumes you might see in a dance recital.

The skaters have to learn how to balance on their skates and do jumps, spins, and turns. They practice a lot to get really good at it! Some skaters even skate in pairs and do lifts, kind of like in figure skating.

When they perform, they have music playing that matches their routine. And sometimes they even skate in big competitions to show off their skills to judges and other people who love roller skating.

Overall, artistic roller skating is all about being creative and having fun while doing cool tricks and dances on roller skates!
