Here is what might actually be an original (if inane) thought. Did I miss the event where some restless creative skater decided to strap a pair of ice skates to their hands as well as their feet and then proceeded to turn cartwheels on ice and then posted the video on U-Tube? I mean Icecapades has been around for a couple of decades, have they not explored this possibility?
It might happen. It might even be touted as the next sport for the Winter Olympics. Let's call it Gymnastic Skating.
I would imagine that the triple jump attempts would look bizarre but failing IceCapades in Space and skating in zero gravity, I'm telling you, this is the next best thing.
The four skated person could perform a self contained death spiral, or an inverted final pirouette while opening and closing their legs in different configurations.
How about someone fixing an ice skate to a helmet and wearing that and attempting a head spin?
Four skates would make pair skating or ice dancing either very dangerous or very exciting, you pick!
I think Circ Du Soleil would attempt it if they had an ice rink and some well muscled skaters, doncha think?
Picture the Clown Car rolling onto the rink, out spills an endless supply of clowns attired with skates on hands and feet. I see mayhem up ahead. Getcher pop corn here, getcher pop corn!

oh my, that might just catch on.
Boy, you must have had some time on your hands. :)
Dreaming again?
Nope didn't dream that one up, it just occured to me that adding an extra set of skates to the hands would be a natural progression so to speak. Maybe a couple mini blades on the knees and elbows. Hein?
