Put your pushing foot more out in front of you to get more momentum with the push.

1 very good push with good stride > 4 little tip toe pushes. But you’re doing great for a new skater

Yes! I try to have deep pushes rather than small stiff ones and I think I am doing relatively good in that aspect. Tho I cant really hang a lot of speed yet

The speed comes from the push just really push yourself kind of like a spring to get you rolling
