Andy here, Nelson Mandela Bay, South Coast of South Africa. Brilliant &-CLEAR tutorial. Thank you. I have been iceskating most of my life, started inline skating on PowerSlide Triskates last year. I am 68 years old.
Those 3 minutes of low quality video pushed me into several hours of training, learning the proper movement and balance and actually feeling the push. No other HQ 15 min long video didn't contain such essential trainings and info. Brilliant!
Wow, that was fantastic! Great exercises for practice. I have definitely noticed improvement in balance from working on crossovers even from just two days practice. I'll have to come back to this one.
Super. Great video. Helped a lot. I am using old K2s, with a 2x110 rear, and 2x100 front. At my age (53), I thank God I can still get out there and do my thing. But, it is getting a little uncomfortable on my lower legs, inside knees. Getting the right turn is a bit harder now for me. Question: Can I do the 4x90mm and still get a good yet fitness skate yet, more maneuverable? Thanks for any input from anyone. Note: I have high arches. Need good relief support. Skate type?
i don't know about this, but in an actual marathon, you just throw your cups or bottles in the "water stops". there might be bins for them or the volunteers will pick them up. they're all drafting each other here. half iron man is 90 km cycle. this is no marathon.
I would like to have seen more of the uphill drill in the grass. Were they stepping? I find it very difficult to keep my skates in a straight line when I skate unless on the level, going slowly. I have high top hard boots. Scissoring is hard too. I taught myself uphill skating, and I carve pushing outwards starting with my toes pointed outward, and lifting as my skate straightens, pointed forwards, kind of the opposite of what anybody else does. I am not optimistic this will work for me.
