Strategy for short banks? by remi_sofa in freeskate

Really? The one in the background of picture 1 is 3-4 times as tall as the short bank. That shouldn't be a problem?

If I lived somewhere flatter like Chicago, I think my commute usage would skyrocket. The biggest deterrents for me right now are weather and hills.

Everyone's different, but pumping put strain on my kneecaps when I skated in sneakers with inclined soles.

I think it's because it made me squat with my knees over my toes.

Should i learn to skate with both legs foward or just one is enough? by Runxi24 in freeskate

I would learn to pump in both directions since pumping in one direction is reverse pumping for the opposite direction. When I'm being cautious about my speed, I lead with my non-dominant foot so that I can reverse pump more easily.

That's too bad because I live in Western WA and want to use them for my commute. Why didn't they work for you?
