	Chad Hedrick Double Push - Speedskating Santa Barbara (1945 words) In the animation above Chad is, of course, skating out of the screen while in the figures to the right he is moving from the bottom of the screen to the top of the screen. So as soon as Chad begins to develop power through lateral flexion it is delivered to the skates as the lean during the underpush undoes the effect of the lateral flexion. While Chad here uses a stroke which abruptly changes from one skate to the other (no overlap of one leg with the other and no "underlap") there are other cases where there is some overlap and more work needs to be done to work out the nomenclature for these kind of strokes. Chad Hedrick at AllExperts (835 words) Chad Hedrick (born April 17, 1977 in Spring, Texas) is an American inline speed skater and ice speed skater.
