[soffiethetoffee]

thnx for putting up this tutorial, finally i ve found something i can actually do!!! :-]

[JamesHetfieldIsGod95]

@soffiethetoffee Just keep skating. Everything is doable..a week ago I couldn't do a eagle stop, now I can do a eagle stop and a penguin stop. Practice = everything

[soffiethetoffee]

is this hard.....

[Prolite]

@soffiethetoffee Only you can answer that.

[soffiethetoffee]

when ur doing tht knee slide, does it hurt ur knees? :] Should I wear protection on my knees or something.

[Prolite]

@soffiethetoffee Either wear knee pads or hover your knee over the ice.

[soffiethetoffee]

ughhhh, when i skate fast i skate really wonky coz im always kicking my left leg up and i look really stupid, its coz my left leg is really powqerful but my right legs really weak, any tips???

[Prolite]

@soffiethetoffee Do weighted leg raises for right leg. Practice one footed jumps with right leg only.

I use knee pads for this, but the problem with it is I get too much speed and lose control :]

[Prolite]

I like speed.

every time i see a Tutorial done by Dan

Perceval i say to my self" Hell yeah im doin that next time im on the ring"...

this stuff is kindda too hard -.-

[Prolite]

stay positive. What is it that you are having problems with?

[PatrioT6611]

Keeping balance in Drunken' Sailor and Knee Slide...

[Prolite]

Keep upper body in-check. Use arms and make sure shoulders aren't tilting too much. Your head will direct the stability of your balance by keeping it at the horizon.

[PatrioT6611]

ahh yeah... trying to get it right...

is it possible for me to use a knee protection or something? or it will interfere with my balance while doing the move?

[Prolite]

Use knee protection if you must, or hover your knee above the ice.
