 Speed Skating & Double Push For Beginners
Step 9
The last step is to actually do the double push. The only difference from doing the kick back with the arms and doing the double push is when the plant skate is being set down it has to be turned to the inside initially to get the inside push then it is turned back to the outside for the outside push.
In essence a double push is a controlled fall. By kicking your back foot across the back along with steering your plant skate inside you start your body falling in the opposite direction of the inside steer. Then at the last second (this is the timing you will learn after doing this thousands of times) you turn your plant skate back out and that will pick your body back up. The hardest part is to let yourself start falling outside while your plant skate steers inside. Eventually you can push the limits further and further, fall more to the outside before you turn the plant skate back to the outside to pick you back up.

If you don't steer the plant skate inside long enough you will never get the double push, if you steer the plant skate inside for too long before you turn it back to the outside you will hit the ground. Somewhere in-between those two extremes is the proper double push. I use the words steer inside multiple times on this page because when your learning the double push you will initially be steering the plant skate inside. Eventually you will turn the inside steer into an inside push hence the words double push.
