SKATE TIP OF THE WEEK
Inline secrets from the world's top skaters and coaches

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 9

You are now ready to repeat this exercise starting with your left leg.

Go back to Step 2 and perform steps 2 through 8 with your left leg.

This sequence may feel awkward at first, but with practice, it will start to feel natural.

Have fun with it.

I look forward to seeing you double-pushing down the road.
