Inline skating tips: dryland 5 key point (pascal briand vlog 09)

[@barneyruckus]

Thank you for all of these videos and instructions on the fundamentals of inline skating. I’ve been skating for well over 20 years. First as a kid with friends, then hockey and the majority as an aggressive inline skater from when I was 15. I’m now 38 and I recently realized that I have been skating wrong this whole time. I recently tried free-skating and got extremely fatigued and felt I wasn’t skating efficiently.

Using the drone for overhead shots is a great idea: looks like a professional cameraman until one sees the shadow!

[@ThePascalbriand]

Hey Pascal! Thank you for this dry land exercise! Question: Is it important to fully stretch the push leg? I see some skaters doing it but you don't seem to do it. Reason why I am asking is because at school a professor of biomechanics said that inexperience ice skaters keep their knees bend during the push versus experienced skaters bending and extending the knee whole the time. thoughts? Thanks!

Hi , FIrst ice and inline technique are quite different so not sure if this answer will fit ice totally. I recommand not to extend the leg totally... but stop just before the limit. My biomechanical reason for this is that when the leg is fully extended then the musle are inactive...so you don't get a push anymore at this moment. One famous ice coach from russia was telling this too Jan Bos for ice skating back in the days when i was on the ice. We had a good conersation about this in those days and agree that leg shouldn't be fully extended, specially in corner. May be nowadays some study would tell different but i don't think so.

@@ThePascalbriand Cool. Thank you for this answer! Also it seems logic to me that with the knee fully extended, there is not so much pressure on the skate. Like in your 'target' video.

02:46 "Try to put ____ ____ your foot little bit on the outside part." As I don't hear the above blank part clearly I assume that you are saying 'try to put your weight little bit more on the outside part of your foot when or after landing'. I wonder if that's correct.

[@ThePascalbriand]

that is correct...thanks for the korean translation ...^^
