Apr 29, 2009 - You right this guy is just stupid and dosn't know what there talkin about. I speed skate and we have to start off with a running start then start to pace it then on the last 2 laps its a sprint or 3. Also i do 5 step and 6 step Techniques 5 for long races 6 for short races. I not best in stamina but i am the best sprinter on the team.

Oct 1, 2009 - I used to speedskate when I was a kid; rollerskate speedskating. I started getting into inline / rollerblading when they first came out, which seemed to have more options and be more friendly for outdoor skating. My question is this: Is inline / rollerblading a lot faster than the old days of speedskating on rollerskates? It's been about 27 years since I was speedskating on rollerskates.
shaloheat Says:
Oct 2, 2009 - Hey theatlantean1- Yes, athletes nowadays reach higher speeds than in the past. There are a few reasons for this including advancements in technology, changes in technique, and tracks that lend themselves to greater speeds.

Nov 12, 2009 - i would really appreciate ur help. i train speed skatin now on the ice, but here where i live we do not have any good coaches for this sport so i have to train on my own pretty much, so i am wondering if technique on the ice is the same then on rollerskates? can i train on rollerskates for on the ice or is very different? i train in fitness a lot and i squad like 400lbs ( 180 kg ) and i am not really fast and im not really explosive!! i dont know why...that make me mad
