| 478 | Greetings Master, please ask me a question, is there any reference to roller skating or ice skating?
Answer
Greetings,
There is one reference to roller skates but it itself is a reference to skating on Earth.
If roller skating or skateboarding were a thing on Gor, this would have been the place to tell us about it.
Since there is no reference to ice skates, roller skates or skateboarding anywhere within the books, it makes sense to understand that there is no such thing on Gor.
Part of the time we rode on a transportation disk, and he showed me how to operate it. The disk flows on a tread of volatile gas and is itself lightened by its construction from a partially gravitationally resistant metal, of which I shall speak later. Its speed is controlled by the placement of the feet along double accelerator strips which lie flush with the surface of the disk; its direction is controlled by the rider who bends and turns his body, thereby transmitting force to the lightly riding disk, the principles involved being no more unusual than those employed in such homely devices as roller skates or the now vanishing skate boards once popular with Earth children.
