beige_alertSpeed skater Andrew Love has made a lot of skating videos, some of them compilations of action set to music.
Blackbird is set to the well-known song of that title, video from the 2006 US National Championships, held here in Milwaukee on the ice that I'm skating much, much, much more slowly on.
King of Pain is an appropriate title for any sort of serious athletic activity. Though I can't hear that song without thinking of a somewhat different one, the King of Suede.
Not so much music here:
What it looks like to do a fairly fast lap with the US national team. The straightaways are 100 meters. Go ahead and count seconds, 50 km/hr would be 7.2 seconds. I've had three lessons so far in speed skating, if you saw me I'd be going maybe a quarter that speed, then at the end I'd trip over myself and make friends with the pads surrounding the ice.
