	Chad Hedrick Double Push - Speedskating Santa Barbara
		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
		Chad Hedrick (born April 17, 1977 in Spring, Texas) is an American inline speed skater and ice speed skater.
		Hedrick caused controversy when he insisted Shani Davis, fellow American speed skater in the 1,000m race, should have participated in the men's pursuit, stating Davis's presence would have meant "a pretty sure gold," as well as stating Davis's absence was "tough to swallow" for him.
		Off the ice, Hedrick is a regular in the Dutch tabloid press, where speed skaters are celebrities, and has been called the "Paris Hilton of speed skating" for his active nightlife.

	kyw.com - Davis-Hedrick Sniping Overshadows Medals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Davis, the runner-up, and Hedrick, a disappointing third, were forced to spend an uncomfortable half-hour in a brightly lit room that might as well have been the scene of an interrogation.
		Hedrick insisted he wasn't mad because the loss in team pursuit cost him a chance to win five gold medals — an issue that's no longer relevant anyway since he finished sixth in the 1,000 and has only a bronze to show for the 1,500.
		Hedrick went to the line in the next-to-last pair, his mind totally focused on putting up a time that Davis — skating in the last duo — wouldn't be able to beat.

	- Chad Hedrick world champion allround
		Chad Hedrick is credited with revolutionizing inline skating through a technique called "the double push." It helped him become acknowledged as the greatest inline racer ever.
		Hedrick, 26, had tried speedskating in 1997 but quit after less than a season because of what he felt was resistance to inliners.
		Hedrick's best medal chances would be in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters, races in which he finished second at the all-around meet.

		Hedrick has been on wheels since he was 18 months old — no surprise, since his father was a skater in his younger days and wound up owning a roller rink in the Houston suburb of Spring, Texas.
		Hedrick won't be skating the 500, and he'll have help from his teammates in the pursuit.

		Hedrick was brash to the end yesterday, saying he regretted nothing, would change nothing.

	Falling Star » Blog Archive » Chad Hedrick vs. Shani Davis
		I’m sure that Hedrick, with all his talk about it being an honor to compete for your country, was sincere in that he wanted to bring the US a gold medal in the team pursuit and wanted the best US skaters to help try do it.
		Hedrick’s goal would have been lost even if they had won the team pursuit, as Davis won the gold in the 1000m today.
		I think it’s a shame the way the media jumped on to the Chad “I want five golds” Hedrick train so quickly and then glorified his mission as if it was the most noble thing ever, and anyone who didn’t sacrifice their own dreams to help was selfish.
