Its because the guy in the back is going faster that the guy in front, and to keep from knoking him over he puts his hands on his hips. Its actually legal and very helpful.
True--you know what really sucks too is if you survive most of the race and get eliminated at the very last elimination lap. The frustration would tear a skater up.
Inline looks cool cause I speedskate, but how the hell do you maintain your balance in inline cause its concrete? Anyhow , can you pivot in inline? Well anyway nice vid!!! :)
speed skating is incredible i am an ice skater my self but they are both phyiscaly demanding sports and i am addicted to the sport i fuckin love it!!!
it's like track on wheels! lol nice.... just found out about this sport, if running at high speeds in a circle is a olympic sport then skating at high speeds should be an olympic event as well. (i do track, much appriation (sp?) to inline skaters, quads must be hurt'n!

Why do they all grab each others butts when they go round corners?
amachronic89 4 years ago
At a guess either.
A- To keep the drafting going and pull each other along.
or
B- They like the ass :P nah there is no serious B.

its easy. if a guy for you go to slow you just touch (lol) him so you dont crash;)

that's right. they do that to keep from colliding, and to stay in the draft. but they don't pull each other--it's just like a tiny push.

Oooooo it would suck to be the first eliminated. The humiliation would be too much for one to bare.

sounds like you're an ice skater. I do both inline and ice speed, and inline is much easier than ice. It's easier to balance and everything.
No, you can't pivot doing inline-you'll just slow down or lose your balance if you drag a hand.

why ring the bell if it is not bell lap?

Because it's an elemination race so evry second lab a guy will be eliminatet and the bell rings evry time theres an lab before elimination

curling is better than this shit. at least it's on ice. buy some ice skates, and put on more clothes than compression shorts.
