I got back into blading after my serious heart surgery in 2011. I had learned to skate (on figure skates) as a kid and then, much later, rented inline skates in the ‘90s “rollerblade” boom. Oh, there was the roller disco era of the 1970’s, but I’ll skip that. Anyway, I am completely self taught, which is a VERY slow way to learn, but since I started getting faster and stronger and developed a semblance of a real skating stroke I am now totally hooked and will probably seek out an instructor along the lines of Skatefresh Asha. I live in So Cal and I’m not rich, but willing to work hard. BTW, I am 64 years old and pretty easily outdistance almost everybody else on skates. Not many of us left here! But thank you for the inspiration and tutelage: I need all the help I can get.

Hi, I know this is an old video but I have a question. I've ice skated and played hockey my entire life. Just entering the wonderful world of inline speed skating. After you push out to stride, when you bring you foot back in, are you landing on your "outside edge" and as you push your foot out it is essentially pushing from outside edge to inside edge? Or do you want wheels straight up and down when your foot lands? Does this make sense?
@elofkjellson39064 жыл бұрын
Is this 4x110 setup faster than a 3x125 setup, or no? I can imagine that having the 4 wheels gives you better power-to-ground transfer, but the 125mm wheels would likely roll faster overall? Just curious about that haha.
@JoeyMantiaSkates4 жыл бұрын
125 is faster, but i prefer skating on 110 because its a better experience and more comfortable in my opinion

How do you brake at such a speed or do you always anticipate what is going to come or what may happen? Did you ever happen to fall at such a speed? Maybe because of some rocks on the road or cracks? Looks dangerous with so many people around. Epic though.

Seen from the front, the right knee disappears behind the left leg, but the right knee never gets that far. Seen from the side, the left knee does not go as far back as the left and therefore cannot get behind the left leg. Do you work on that or is it ok as it is?

Actually I was looking at when you cross the centerline with your legs it’s almost like you use the inside leg to help you push out to the farther side and vice a versa almost like how pendulum swings to create more momentum and this is great.

Im a 50 yr old vet who learned to rollerblade off of YT, to deal wirh my P.T.S.D and anxiety issues,and I have the hardest time trying to keep my speed with both arms behind my back. I've only been blading for 3yrs but won my first half-marathon with the ugliest style ever in my first 9 months. My skills are way better, I average 10 to 12 mph, I reached 15 mph once or twice on a straight away but can't maintain it, unless Im going 30mph down hills, lol. I know I'm doing something wrong though. Whether I'm using two arms or one arm behind my back, or switching skates, from 84mm 4x4 to 90mm 4x4 or to my 100mm 3w, I can't consistently reach or maintain 15mph, I'm averaging 6 miles at 3o min ever day, I'm trying to get 6 miles under 25 min, so What's the secret to skate with both arms behind my back?
