Single vs. Double-Push - MAX SPEED TEST - Inline Skating

In this video we compare the max speeds of 2 different inline speed skating propulsion techniques -- The single-push and the double-push techniques. We use the fitness app Strava to compare maximum speeds over 6 different iterations to come to a conclusion on which is faster...and by how much.

Another great video. I just happened to see Joey's double push video the other day. You definitely want faster with the double, but I think it's most important benefit is the efficiency. Using both edges of the wheels and incorporating more muscles each push.

Wonderful commentary! Speed skating, wizard skating, aggressive… now we’d like to see your take on roller hockey!!

Definitely interesting findings, but 9:45 for what could essentially be just a few seconds with the chart is a bit excessive.

[mxnofear]

how much more energy are you expending for the double push?

[paulblichmann]

I had already on my own developed the habit of rolling slightly to the outside edge on each new stride.
Now, actually putting some power into the outside edge instead of just coasting before doing a normal push...THAT is gonna take some work.

I seriously have no clue what’s going on here, but I’m fascinated because I know I can do it and I rollerblade everyday I just cannot tell the difference between the 2 hasn’t clicked yet lol

Double push looks majestically better man

[jfree]

Wouldn't average speed be a fairer measure and less prone to Strava GPS glitches? Looking at your average speeds, wasn't single push faster? Cool video. You're exceptionally fast regardless!

i dont know man from your side it look the same, leg doesnt goes toomuch in =\

Before you do the comparison you should learn to double push properly. You’re just scratching the surface of the technique and no wonder the difference is so small.
