Hi:
Most of the ice skating arenas in my area are now closing up for the spring/summer and I thought I would continue to practice (I'm a beginnier) by doing inline skating on the street. My question is do all of the things I've learned for ice skating apply also to inline skating? For example, in forward stroking extending the pushing leg straight and behind and holding it there with good form; cross-overs, skating backwards, etc etc. I imagine cross-overs might change a bit given that the brake is on one of the skates and will make the cross over a little different for that side. But otherwise, is there anything different I should be doing for road skating?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Bruce
