Next, kick your front leg forward. Keep going until you reach your desired speed. The faster you travel, the harder you must pull your legs up and kick them forward. Once you reach the speed you desire, relax your legs and let them come together. If you need to slow down, just do the same thing.
Once you are able to stop yourself falling into the ground and you have figured out how to stop it, you can determine how fast your goal speed is. There are many ways to measure speed. Some people prefer to count laps around the mountain, others prefer to look at the distance covered from one turn to another.
