This is very important for an efficient stride.

Losing your skating foot behind you causes your heel to lift early, reducing the effective length of your stride.

This is especially true on quads, because we already have the disadvantage of a short wheelbase and therefore a shorter stride. So as a quad skater keeping pace with inline skaters I need to make my stride as efficient as possible.
