Lots of toe pushing.  Beginners would get yelled at if they skated like that today.

Ah... the days before the double push. It looks so unnatural to see the foot set down directly below the body.

Great helmets, too. I wouldn't wear one. *Grins*

en die skeelers..

I skated back in 91. We wore Giros in USA they were mandatory. Our skates were made from a plastic not like today...

[spdskte]

....especially those useless helmets!

Amazing how far the sport has come since then, both in terms of athletes and technology.

nice video of what inline speed skating was like prior to the double push. it is still a matter of speculation who invented the double push. i can tell you that while skating in central park (new york city) almost nightly in the summer of 1993 there was almost no sign of the double push. although, I should mention that there was a real fast skater called Remmy that had something resembling the double push, but at the time the markers to describe the double-push were non existent as well.

leip! wist niet dat het daar zo beroemd was =D

Je ziet dat er totaal geen valbeweging in zit, de techniek van het schaatsen en skeeleren is toch wel een hoop veranderd sinds de klapschaats!
