5.0 out of 5 stars Barry skate..., 18 Mar 2008
By Simon (London) - See all my reviews
There are very few book out the about speed skating and even fewer in English. So it makes it even more of a suprise when the one book that is avalible is so good.
This book covers all side of speed skating from the classic puch to the duble bush. It covers things like a good worm up that I have tride and had one of the best races so fare.
Barry is very tecknical is the way he teaches and this works very well in the book.
Before geting the book did think it mite be a bit old and not cover what I needed. This was not the case and the only think that is not in it is 4x110 wheels.
So its a very good book and IMHO the best out the at the moment (unless Seby gets his book in English) then it mite have a rival.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book to improve your speed skating skills, 3 Feb 2006
Basically, it is hard to get familiar with sports from scratch just with help of a book. For this reason, this book is excellent for advanced or at least trained speed skaters who want to improve their techniques, physiques and racing tactics.

For me it really helped me from changing inline skating in summer season, to ice skating in winter season, since there are as many similarities as differences in techniques between them.
