Maximum Velocity Sprint Mechanics

Mike Young provides a great insight into the biomechanics of maximum speed sprinting in the video below.

In particular I would like to draw attention to his point that the unfolding of the swing leg is not something that should be acheived actively. This is something to consider when prescribing drills such as the B-skip, since it would be easy for the athletes to become under the impression that they must actively stive to achieve this 'pawing' action.
