Inline skating - single foot strokes

[jcardin]

I was just curious what others thought about using single repeated strokes/pushes as part of their inline skating.

I got in a good bit of practice doing these at the skating rink using inline skates with my custom short wheelbase setup with 3x58(?) flat profile 88A wheels.

I noticed I could attain a very high rate of continuous speed without much fatigue since I was only pushing off with one leg.

Of course I realized that my leg I used to keep flat on the floor (left) would start to get a bit sore over time, so I then started switching it up some with the left leg then doing the push offs.

I've seen many inline skaters do a similar single footed kick/push in repetitions during outdoor skating sessions on YouTube but I don't know if it is as common indoors or during marathons etc.

What do some of you think about it who have seen or performed it regularly?

Perhaps you should give this a try:
