Xtreme Ice Skating - Double Spray tutorial

[IWillComeAndGetU]

well i learned this in 5 min but i cant spray that high ... :P

[Prolite]

@IWillComeAndGetU You will.

[IWillComeAndGetU]

@Prolite yeah im just gonna pratice:)

[748runescape]

What is that skate technique called? Where you gain speed in small amount of time. Its like your running on the ice but skating at the same time. At the last bit with full speed

[Prolite]

@748runescape Um.. side-stepping?

[RamzaBeoulve90]

@748runescape Step-overs, essentially.

[gabymanjo]

wow i'm french and i want to see you in the ice-rink of Amiens :D

[ClassicGil]

How to stop using the outside edge?

[MultiSLipknot4ever]

How long have you been skating?

[Prolite]

@MultiSLipknot4ever 16 years when I did this video.

[MultiSLipknot4ever]

Thanks for the video!

[Prolite]

@MultiSLipknot4ever Okay no problem.

[themoneymanification]

i lernt hockey stop then this and nothing else

[JamesHetfieldIsGod95]

I learned this..i think this week, actually. I was playing around with t-stops and this came out. didn't think it was a actual trick.. I'm 12 (But i've only skated 3 years..) and this was pretty easy to learn.

[snaylionid]

i learned this when i was 9 now im 13

[Prolite]

@snaylionid What are you learning now?

[snaylionid]

@Prolite right now i am not learning anything cos i broke my arm

[snaylionid]

@Prolite nothing cos im in ice hockey team

and tomorrow i might get my cast taken of from my arm

[beatleboy9020001]

those blades sound sharp, i dont think there is a better sound than that crunch with sharp blades on ice

[iQUiiKERx]

emmm i live in scotland and im only 13 and im struggling to understand how to do the double spray is there any simpler was or more basic ways of learning this skill ( please message back)

[Prolite]

As said in the video, you have to learn the "T-Stop" on one foot, and the other foot you must learn the "One Footed Stop". By practicing both those stops, you are practicing both your inside and outside edges. Both edges are used in the Double Spray, which is a more advanced stop than the beginner stops mentioned above.

[Shaftsus]

@Prolite it naturally happened to me when I stop with my left foot - after i practiced stopping with the inside of my right foot, I'm going to learn how to do it when stopping right. 

[RiverSiege]

This is a good tutorial, it's simpler, more compressed and easier to follow than your other slower tutorials.

[ZoeZymonic]

Can you do this on figure skates?

[Prolite]

Yes, the Double Spray you can.

[plspresshere]

@ZoeZymonic yes u can

[sk8srule7]

i can do it but no ice comes up do i need to go farsta??

[Prolite]

You mean faster? Speed will help, but you need to tilt your stopping knee closer to the ice.

[brentfordboys]

is sharper blades or blunter blades better to do the spray i can ice skate well go backwards n stuff jus not sprsy explain how to plesase

[Prolite]

I have a tutorial on "how to stop". Also, duller blades make it easier to learn how to stop.

[XcooperX1]

@brentfordboys blunt blades are never good, need sharp blades.

[Cycu96]

I have got new trick, but I don t know if is impressive. Maybe I take record it ... ;]

[Cycu96]

;] haha is very easy...

[NWGunsmoke]

hey dan i had a little prob i was hoping you could help clear up. i recently got new tblades and i think the extra grip sometimes causes my inside leg to chatter

hav u got any suggestions on how i can reduce/eliminate this?

[Prolite]

I had the same exact problem a number of years ago. It was caused by improper sharpening. You can reduce this by developing more strength in your leg and more muscle control, but that may not work. It could also be due to the-tblade chassis you have. When it happened to me, I didn't have t-blade but some kind of weird blade holder. Tightening your boots might help. Somehow the energy isn't being transferred directly to the ice. But probably has to do with the sharpening.

[NWGunsmoke]

well i only get the problem sometimes so i dont think its down to the blade, as i can t-stop even with one foot and not have chatter. i might have needed to tighten my boot at the top though.

is mose of your weight on ur inside leg, or is it even?

thanx

[Prolite]

I could be a number of things, which is why I provided the details above. For me, most of my weight is on my inside edge. It's possible that you need to develop more muscle control for your outside edge, especially if this is something that doesn't happen all the time, and you've ruled out the fact that it's not your boot that needs tightening.

[NWGunsmoke]

hmm ok thanx alot for the help dan, ur insight has been helpful.

[Prolite]

Glad to help. You know, this problem could also be caused by ice that is too hard. When I did this tutorial, my skates were chattering during certain movements.

[NWGunsmoke]

thanks, i was thinkin the same thing. i got scratches on my arm from the ice where i tried some rolls and stuff.

ther good for falls but the ice was hard and rough. probably wht caused some of the chatter too.

[lacrossefreak18]

thanxs dude i went out skating yesterday and now i am like a pro at it i just subscribed to you now all my friends want to know how to do it

[Prolite]

Cool. What state are you from?

[TheMsRa00]

Rah...hw long did it take u 2 learn 2 spray so high??

[Prolite]

4 or 5 years.

[livvinrussian]

haha i already know this and it looks cool and bulids up strength

and it wont break ankles unles your a stick figure man made out of tooth picks

[Prolite]

ha.

[aaron3102]

if u do it completly wrong , couldnt this break ur ankle?

[Prolite]

Not sure. Never heard of it happening before.

[aaron3102]

im clumsy , only been ice skating 8 times , i guess il be first to break my ankle then xD

becoz my ice skates stop me form going side to side in the boots , but like dont allowed my to bend my knee's much xD

[Prolite]

Don't assume that unless you never play any sports ever. Start off at a slow speed. The human body is not that fragile.

[aaron3102]

is when uv broke ur ankle like 5 times XD!!

[Prolite]

Know the risks involved, know your body, and take it slow and easy.

[aaron3102]

ok cheers , i am imporving quite quick.. last time i went yesterday

i was skating realy quick and iv never fell over becoz of myself only itmes iv fell over is beacause of other people

il try teach myself on friday

[NWGunsmoke]

well keep in mind that the boots should provide anckle support but not so much that u cant rotate them a little.

so i dont really think it will happen, if u dont drop our weight enough ull prolly go over ur feet. in this position its better to fall backwards onto ur bum, than forwards into your head XD

[HaloMachine09]

yo! i dont get how to do the T stop, can you tell me a tutorial on how to do that, then i would probably be able to master the spray, anyway very nice video, helped me a lot 5/5

[Prolite]

I have a t-stop tutorial. It's in my list of videos.

[hishamudai3]

What's the difference between this stop and the hockey stop, I can master this, nowdays.. I try to one foot stop I can bearly stop like that but only this way I can, Idk why hahaha, this is better for spraying higher!

[Prolite]

Same thing, different name.

[XownedftwX]

this is a little bit like a dime stop just without the hop and the major weight drop right?

[Prolite]

Yes the learning process of the two are different. Learn this trick based on the steps provided. It will probably be easier that way. And if not, let me know.

[sirjohnmawson]

Awesome!!
