[killer4Tim]

i'm originaly a sponsered skateboarder, but sometimes I try this on my time, the turning on the semi-circles are very easy.

[PintoPonyProductions]

Insane acceleration in the start. Great track shots!

[7andro7]

i would really appreciate ur help.

i train speed skatin now on the ice, but here where i live we do not have any good coaches for this sport so i have to train on my own pretty much, so i am wondering if technique on the ice is the same then on rollerskates? can i train on rollerskates for on the ice or is very different? i train in fitness a lot and i squad like 400lbs ( 180 kg ) and i am not really fast and im not really explosive!! i dont know why...that make me mad

[monkeyman1140]

Technique on ice is very different from rollers. You have to be careful that you don't pick up bad form from rollers because you don't have to be nearly as precise about your foot placement with wheels.

[7andro7]

thank you very much. Appreciate that.

Hey theatlantean1-

Yes, athletes nowadays reach higher speeds than in the past. There are a few reasons for this including advancements in technology, changes in technique, and tracks that lend themselves to greater speeds.

I used to speedskate when I was a kid; rollerskate speedskating. I started getting into inline / rollerblading when they first came out, which seemed to have more options and be more friendly for outdoor skating. My question is this: Is inline / rollerblading a lot faster than the old days of speedskating on rollerskates? It's been about 27 years since I was speedskating on rollerskates.

[Doomblade184]

The first part isn't anyway

[Doomblade184]

It's not really speed SKATING because they arn't skating, just sort of running with skates on... But quite fast :)

[ninjax261]

no...it's skating...it's a fucking technique, idiot

[Doomblade184]

It's not a fucking technique, it's a technique, mofo. And it's running.

[ninjax261]

yeah, because all the dumbass who have never skating say the exact same thing, i would kick your ass with that TECHNIQUE

[Bladknight3]

You right this guy is just stupid and dosn't know what there talkin about. I speed skate and we have to start off with a running start then start to pace it then on the last 2 laps its a sprint or 3. Also i do 5 step and 6 step Techniques 5 for long races 6 for short races. I not best in stamina but i am the best sprinter on the team.

[Doomblade184]

I have skated though and I always speed skate in the rinks.

[PIRSpeedSkater]

@Doomblade184 umm well that's what they teach you, so yeah i'm pretty sure that's what is it...
