Answer Hi
I am an quad artistic figure skating coach and do not have any speed expertise. I would suppose you would get the speed from side push just as art skaters do but I know speed skates more in a forward body position. Please email someone who is in the speed category. They must have me listed wrong.
Sorry,
Marlene
