Ice and Inline are different. If you have a little toe push on inline, which ist OK especially when sprinting, then you can still push, even if you have your weight not in the middle, but more in front. On ice you would lift up you blade on one side and have only one contact point. Then you will not be able to push any more.
you cant be serious?!?! i thought we've surpassed this phase and proved IT IS JUNK for inline skating. i cant speak for ice as ive never done it but i think its a proven design for ice. this frame trains you to push off with your toes WHICH IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE THING YOU WANT TO DO. you supposed to push thru your heels. i had this style frame years ago when Maple came out with the Diamond frame...JUNK!
its as simple as this...the reason it worked for "long track ice ONLY" is because in order to go faster on ice there needs to be constant contact with the ice to be able to glide and generate speed. long contact with a surface on in-line skates creates friction therefore causing a decrease in speed.
just take a look at how many skaters are wearing the clap frame in the in-line world. ill let that speak for it self. if it worked everyone would have them on. if you show up to a meet wearing claps frames as your equipment listen for laughs behind your back.
like i said and you just confirmed...THEY WORK FOR ICE AND ICE ONLY!! if you plan on skating LONG TRACK ICE then get them, dont get them for short track. and if your not doing ice and plan on doing inlines then get a frame that supports 110mm wheels. bigger wheels is what WORKS FOR INLINES. this is my last response.
This is exactly like the ice skating world. People would try clapskates for a few days, and it wouldn't work for them.
It's not that simple. Look at Chad Hedrick... it took him YEARS to adapt his technique from inline skating to ice skating with the clapskate, and his technique is still not the greatest.
As I say, I think clapskates could work for inline skating aswell, but it probably takes a new generation of skaters, who start at a young age, not 'biased' by classic technique.
It is a split-clap frame, where only the front 2 wheels are hinged - below the forefoot. It is engineered for Nordic Blading (skating with the aid of ski poles), and is suited to climbing - allowing the skater to use more lower-leg muscles in the push. They are also suited to skaters who use a long (full-extension), fluid push - much like that used on longtrack ice with clap skates.

I don't see why it wouldn't work for inline skating, just as it did for ice skating.
Initially it wasn't a success, because you had to adjust your technique to be able to use the clapskate to its full potential.
It became a success when a young group of skaters were training on these skates exclusively, and started to win races.
The older skaters either had to adapt to the clapskate, or quit.
Just think of how you would jump 'from the heel', compared to extending your whole leg.

Doesn't make sense to me.
You need to make contact anyway, in order to transfer power from your body to the surface.
The clap-mechanism simply allows you to use more muscles, and as a result, transfer more power. How long the contact is, depends on your technique.

That's no different from the ice-skating world 15-20 years ago.
Turns out that they were wrong.
They didn't laugh anymore when people started to break world records on clap skates.
