Q&A Video: What arm and hand positions should we have for inline and quads speed skating?

This "little" detail does everything for me ...improving velocity! Thank you Asha!❤️

Great tip! Arm swing is such an underrated focus.

[@SkatefreshVideos]

Indeed, I'm guilty of not giving it much airtime, a sits the icing on the cake and I'm much more focussed on getting the skates doing the right thing. But using the arms correctly can bring good benefits.

[@RichHayterSkater]

I'm ok on a longer stretch but because I tend to vary surfaces and stride pattern so frequently during a session, it's easy to lose arm rhythm.

[@SkatefreshVideos]

@@RichHayterSkater Yes I agree. That's why I specified the speed skating as that's the discipline which can really use that rhythm (or when we urban skaters get a nice long stretch of smooth tarmac and no traffic.....) It's always useful to know and have options. Today I skated with a selfie stick and Insta360 for the first time. My swing was all over the place being only on one side. You and Bill make it look easy!

[@RichHayterSkater]

😂 Thanks! Those sticks are like a crutch, right? I’m hopeless at framing myself with them! It’s so liberating to skate without it. The things we do for an audience!😁

The 'square velodrome' that is Preston Park! 😎 (When my two sports collide! 😊)

[@SirPrancelot1]

Thanks. Was wondering where this was. Seems like a small, i.e. not very wide, track. Guess this was the norm when it was built. Looks like a good place to practice skating, especially for beginners.

[@SkatefreshVideos]

@@SirPrancelot1 It is a good spot but I wouldn't recommend for beginner skaters as there are banked corners on the turns and the entire track isn't flat so a beginner who wasn't fluent at stopping down slopes would struggle there. Slopes are always the issue even if they are tiny.

[@SirPrancelot1]

@@SkatefreshVideos Good info, thanks.

Asha, tda hr q eu vou andar de patins inline o do pé direito fica torto vc pode me dar uma dica para isso nn acontecer? O que estou fazendo de errado? Beijosss

[@SkatefreshVideos]

Gabriela, gostaria muito de te ajudar mas "o pé direito fica torto" pode dizer varias coisas distintas. Torto como? Acho que voce esta talvez indicando que a base de suas rodas ficam inclinadas pra a base interna das rodas. Se chama uma pronocao. É isso que voce esta dizendo com "torto". Ou outra coisa? Assim posso responder com alguma claridade. Obrigada.

who is this ladys camera man GEEZ THEY ARE SO GOOD

[@SkatefreshVideos]

He is Stuart Grace @skaterstu_brightonskate. He skates on quads and is an excellent skater (skating 30 years). You should see him street skating while filming......amazing skills.

She's adorable.

[@michaelstapleton2768]

I’m having a hard time keeping my skates straight as I stride. So, I ended doing the v striding

[@SkatefreshVideos]

Yes that's a very common problem with most skaters so you aren't alone. Try to assess if at the moment you ar striding you are maintaining speed or need to accelerate. If you need to accelerate then V-ing is correct, but if you are wanting to maintain speed then the straight ahead set down in better, so make sure you know which you need when and why. Check out the "Improve your stride" Playlist on my channel as that has some useful exercises for fixing your V and spend some time on those exercises every time you skate to help you change the V. Good luck!

[@michaelstapleton2768]

Thanks ma'am . good tips .how are you? I am from India.

[@SkatefreshVideos]

I'm glad they are helpful to you. I'm doing well thank you. Im happy skating in India is growing isn't it?

[@VSonbike]

Hey can you make a video on different skate to buy in India its so confusing that which is durable or which is affordable also which brand to choose idk but I love to have that knowledge

[@SkatefreshVideos]

Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. Good idea, but that would imply Asha going to India and researching the different brands, prices, etc. It doesn't look possible. Asha has made a guide that includes types of skates, brands, etc. and is here skatefresh.com/product/ebook/ This guide also includes videos for the first steps to learn inline skating.
