Speed Skating
While doing speed skating, you have to alternatley press X and O to get a good start.
To make that easier, press the O button with your right thumb, and press the X button with your left thumb.
Make sure that all of your left hand is over the controller and have the controller at a slant. It doesn't seem easy, but it works.
