You do this by pushing your legs against the ground, pulling your back leg upwards and kicking your front foot forward. Continue doing this until you achieve the desired speed. The faster you go, the more you will have to lift your legs and kick them forward. Once you reach your speed goal, you can relax and let your legs connect. Repeat the process if you need to slow it down.
After you have learned how to keep yourself from falling to the ground, it is time to determine how fast you want. There are many methods to measure speed. Some prefer to count laps around a mountain, while others prefer the distance from one turn and another. If you want to practice controlling your speed, try measuring your speed by timing yourself or by counting laps. Practice makes perfect!
