This week's tip:

Teach Yourself the Double Push
A series of exercises for developing the Holy Grail of inline speed skating: the double push

Step 6

Now slowly transfer your weight from your right leg to your left leg. (Yes, you will begin to fall to your left.)

As soon as you feel yourself falling, straighten your right leg.

Step 7

When you straighten your right leg, your body will move violently towards your left, and you will land in the skating position with your left leg bent.

You have just performed the outside push!
