Propeller or jet to push an in-line skater?

One thing is for sure it can't be too high or low relative to center of gravity. That may be less critical than you think. Propeller propulsion would be the freest form since it would not depend on the ground, the full benefit of skating depends on freedom of movement. Push stick based propulsion (a bulky prototype is currently being used here) is stable, even when being pushed from knee level. I get a third wheel effect, and stroking with my legs is not required. Pushing/stroking is a HUGE source of instability while inline street skating. |
