This is the V drive. Trail the rear skate along center line and snake
your way to high speed as you push your partner by alternating inside edge and
outside edge carves on one leg. When your skate is underneath your body and
ready to push, whether in the regular direction or in the double push
direction, your skate angle is open like either side of the capital letter V.
Be V-driven and you will become more of a double pushing maniac than you ever
dreamed possible. Your skate should end up in front of your body after each
push. It's better if your partner is comfortable rolling backwards so that you
don't nip at his heels each time! Brought to you by

You should see her now! Going like a wild banshee I'd be willing to wager.
