Ice Skating Treadmill

[truehockeyplayer88]

i want that so bad

[crivello19]

why not just skate in circles on the ice?

[mailforkayly]

awesome

[umadumLib]

Thats my kinda treadmill, where you can just hold onto the bar and coast..

[wschmrdr]

The only thing Cornell players learn is how to clutch, grab, and dive.

[CoffeeRaven]

they should put on in the YMCA in our town. i would use this like everyday!

[RobotJuiceHD]

1:00

[Misho5z]

FUCKING STUPID AD DOESNT LOAD

[zipinzap3]

fuck this add doesnt load

[start00hh5]

skip add 00:01

[tenthousandyearsgoon]

what a waste of money, these people are idiots. Yes i skated for 12 years im right

[Casna101]

@tenthousandyearsgoon

What do you know? If you just skate in an ice rink you have to keep turning around OR keep going around in a circle. There is NO WAY you can reach max speed.

With this you can skate however fast you like and build up those muscles.

And how does skating for 12 years make you right? If I have been skating for 12.00001 years does that make me any more right?

[EssenceOfNature23]

@tenthousandyearsgoon Get you...

[GoodVibrationsHealth]

So cool! Would love to try one, but I bet they are expensive.

[mcfatass301]

@GoodVibrationsHealth They're only 5 dollars

[hockeymatt1994]

we have one at the rink by us

[MrRobertEdmondson]

Several issues with this machine:

-size, complexity, cost - it will never be found in any local gym

-skating on an inclined surface is unnatural and cannot be good for technique

-since skating surface is motor driven, it's like holding onto the bumper of a car and being pulled across the ice

The world needs a compact, affordable, non-motorized machine that anyone, wearing normal athletic shoes, can climb on and "skate". Then anyone could enjoy the benefits of the exercise.

[dholmaster110]

@MrRobertEdmondson

dont use the inclined surface if u dont want too and you dont need to hold on to it

[DeTeR1312]

@MrRobertEdmondson

Perhaps we really need something like the machine you're pushing in other videos? Have you even used a skating treadmill or power skater? You state your opinions/feelings here and elsewhere as if they are fact when they really are propaganda for your device. I have no finacial interest in skating treadmills, power skaters, or your device; the same cannot be said for you; divulge your conflict of interest when commenting on other skating machines, not doing so is unethical.

[KellyOnIce]

That's awesome! I really want one of those!!

[abdallahpr2]

This is the new 5 react gum commericail

[clayman1919]

i guess they didnt relize they could just skate in a circle on a rink.

[keywolf23]

@clayman1919 guess ppl just dont know how to skate on a hill anymore, huh?

[1GBMProductions]

@clayman1919 but now yyou dont have to pay time to rent the ice well i guess ur right though

[CareeLamberte4]

loli really need some cure to my loneliness

[BobbyMcBobPants]

It brings a new element to skating that you wouldn't ever normally see; inclined ice. That has to help produce muscle at a much faster rate than just flat land, thus increasing speed. Amiright?

[dagger09]

That looks awsome!

[98jkman]

a place near my house has one of those

[KellyOnIce]

@98jkman please, what is the place called?

[kellianeb]

Edmonton Alberta also has one at a hockey school

[helixfitness]

everybody check out our revolutionary ice hockey training machine on our video page!

[icydedppl88]

pause at 0:06 :)

[mattschat]

lol.

[italiansk8r808]

0:06 LOL

[s17hockey]

i have been doing the skating treadmill as a high school athlete for 3 years now. personally, i believe it is a great conditioner, but im not convinced yet that it dramatically increases your speed.

[missionxo]

wow there are a lot of big words in that comment.

[bestamerica]

how treadmill dont have a ice on the track

[mikkel0wn1]

are you high or sumthing?

[bears1941]

wer do i find one of these

[yayayak]

i want this in my basement

[stickdownheadup]

no you dont

[elsalvadorboy4life]

im gonna rate the treadmill not the video

[CBAbrO5]

bennlowe....tht is what the harness is for....when u falll it is high enough so tht ur knees dont hit

[bennnlowe]

Fall on one of these things and itll take all the skin off your knees.

[FlaHockeyPlayer]

i know somebody goin to cornell to play hockey from florida

[Vdangles99]

it dulls ur blade like heck. but it pays off in the season. you can just get a new blade for the ice season

[SkateLover151]

or you can just save tons of money by sharpening them....

[timebreak95]

0.06 sec.

[nhhockey8]

damn there hard at it first i've been on one

[gofury30]

those things ruin your blades on your skate i did it 3 times a week one summer and i got brand new skates before like a week before it started and by the time it was over i had to get new ones again

[micanut48]

Never been on one but just by looking at the "skater", it looks more like it screws up the stride instead of making it better. For conditioning? Never. Conditioning must be thrill, just like the game, and not this boring machine. There are tens of more natural, more fun ways to make your stride and conditioning better. And you save money, too..

[imagood]

ok named 20 that will condition and make ur stride and skating better .

[micanut48]

Actually, I'm writing book about skating. Been working on it for last six months. Will let you know when it's published. Will come with DVD. Got tired of looking at lousy instructors and coaches when things can be done so much better and faster, too. Just to give you hint: check the skater on this, and look at his upper body movement. On the video, he is pushing everything through his knees. His upper body is dead, his arm movement is totally wrong. Yet upper body is 60+% of his body weight

[micanut48]

continue: Hips are dead as well. What makes you better? It's simple things. Short, explosive skating bursts with absolutely perfect technique, with stick in one hand, then both hands, then with the puck. Each is different. Upper body strength is a MUST. How? Gymnastics, handball, volleyball, basketball, soccer, short sprints, frog jumps, supervised weight training from age 16 & up, wrestling, playing on small surface, skating combinations performed to the details. It will all be in the book.

[imagood]

Well im not gona buy ur book full of crap that wont improve ur skating the only way to do that is to skate.

[micanut48]

You are entitled to your opinion. And I totally agree with you - skating IS the most important part in learning how to skate. But would you rather choose something that actually improves skating than breaking up your technique ( and skates, too) on a piece of plastic? BTW, did I mention anywhere that NOT skating is good for anybody? I don't think so. However, skating on anything else other than ice WILL damage your skating. And that is my point. Nobody plays soccer with his skates on, does he?

[imagood]

no if you do the exercise or w/e right it wont break your skating habits. Its called accelerations and all the competitive kids do it and even some house league kids. Rollerblading would also be good. And u cant compare it to soccer cuz all that is is running u can run in snow with snow shoes to train yes it will be good for you.

[hockeycond18]

micanut48, I agree 100%. For years I have questioned the skating treadmill and the high speed running treadmill.  I have worked in physical therapy for 20 years and hockey conditioning for 10. ( M.S. A.T.C. CSCS PES) I have talked to many other professionals, ( Boyle,Blatherwich, Twist, Myrland) and all see the biomechanics and neuromuscular flaws in the skating and running treadmill. I look at it as a Gimmick.

[hockeycond18]

continue. None of the results claimed by these companies are independent researched based. Plus no program weather it be performance ,rehabilitation or prevention should not be based around one piece of equipment. People see this and it looks good and some guy say it works so it must work. People are sheep. When training hockey players I start with a screening. Posture, joint mobility, length, MMT functional movement , testing( single leg hop, seated med ball chest , and others.

[hockeycond18]

A good article is A comarison of treadmill and over ground sprint training by Rory Beil. It has references and many of the same biomechnical and neuromuscular principles apply to the skating treadmill.

[micanut48]

I agree with you. In short, most people don't understand that skating is highly unnatural movement; it must be trained in delicate and perfection oriented manner, otherwise bad habits develop that are very difficult break once they become ingrained in neuromuscular memory of the body. Most skaters don't even know the physics behind skating and how skate blade works on the ice. That's why they fall for these gimmicks, not respecting physical laws. I use natural ways of training only.

[SASJKL]

@micanut48 so you're saying skating is an unnatural movement therefore can harm human's physiology? i gotta ask, i've been playing hockey since i was 8 and now i'm 16 and my left knee would occasionally, with no tell signs at all, dislocate/snap/twist in an excruciating pain. is that a product of long term skating? i really love hockey and i don't wanna stop.

[micanut48]

@SASJKL I will try to squeeze in as much as I can here. It would be irresponsible to judge that hockey alone or even partially might be the cause of your problem. Skating itself has actually therapeutic effect on knee post surgery rehabilitation if done with caution (explanation is more complex). Did you suffer from any injury? If not, have you been skated by Coach to overexhaustion (suicide drills, punitive sessions of skating). You need to have that checked by an experienced orthopedist who

[micanut48]

@SASJKL (cont) can determine exactly what is wrong. I suspect your ligaments to have some injury, not being able to hold the knee together when under pressure. Unless you suffered some direct injury to your knee, the cause is usually too much stress without proper warm up. Ligaments then stretch, not being able to subtract back because they are not warm enough (cartilage tissue is always poorly circulated - stretching warms up the tissue so it is more flexible).

[micanut48]

@SASJKL If you wish to know more, click on my nick, give me more info and I might be able to pin point areas where you can do some corrective measures in case there is no diagnosis by your orthopedist. Hopefully, I will finish my book soon (with DVD training section included); there will be plenty of unorthodox but effective info there that might help not just to you but many others. There is not too much room here to be more specific.

[TheLilplayerz]

nice

[cards7509]

wow what a wierd thing lol

[thefoxrider08]

i've been on one of those, they're pretty hard when you just get on but after awhile it really helps

[CAPSman27]

thats what she said...

[XDNOSCOP3DX]

thats awsome

[Pensfan8726]

cool

[keatong101]

thier is a couple iin ice sports but they have nets and everything

[hockeyloverdb]

this would be sweeeeeet to have at home or something!

[sniperpoe7]

real ice?

[mirzayanov]

its not real ice, its plastic

[azstong]

University of Minnesota Golden Gopher hockey teams have 1 aswell.

[AirRaider57]

who cares about minnesota? Wisconsin is way better =]

[IWANTTOMEETGERARD]

I wanna try that...

[HockeyPlayerGirl]

ive tried it before when i was in vancouver BC training, we had to move the puck around while we were running on that and it was really tired but i kept falling down.

[yellowsponge123]

NICE im pretty good at ice skating id like to try this

[0xbubbles]

AWSOME!

[hockeyowns28]

i have skated on one of these there pretty cool but a little hard to get used to at first, to tell you the truth i wouldnt use it, get a skating class on real ice with a good instructer its way better i think

[njgoldice]

i already have like seven

[macsftw]

I wonder how much time it will take for this to come down in price...

[dappleddakota]

That's awesome!

[cheesepie180]

sick nasty dude

[ReynaAlacrana]

That's so freaking cool

[F430corvettekiller]

i've skated on 1 of those once a week for a few yrs, it's pretty sweet

[lbrady3]

hah thats real cool

[ny13isles39]

clearly why Cornell is filthy lol

[petetheclock]

what is the belt made of? becuase it cant be ice?

[PhrozenSync]

he says at 0:40 vistic alastic polymer? which is something the boards on the side of the ice are made of but more slippery

[douro20]

A viscoelastic polymer riding on a hickory belt; the belt can be made transparent as to show the wood underneath. It is made by Woodway in Germany. $110,000 will just get you the base unit; after fitting and installation it can be as much as $150,000-200,000.

[4BumbleB4]

We train on those at NSD for hockey and ringette.

[russianrocket2]

great machine as long as people don't do that shit every day and than get hurt or die, not to sound negative

[sweetbriargirl]

That is awesome! It is a good idea for conditioning.

[MichiganFann]

@sweetbriargirl It does cost alot of money just like the synthetic "fake ice" used for ice rinks outdoors and small non moving inclines  like a treadmills

[gmel2]

looks fun. Wish I had access to one.

[eightlines14]

@gmel2 there fun but tiring

[ibdtrader]

This is why Colleges deserve outside funding as most ideas and studies that lead to helping the public at-large come from Colleges.

[atrophiedmess]

get ok go to dance on these treadmills!

im guessing it would hurt real bad if that rope snapped n u fell on the board thingy

[slarsen619]

hmm...interesting

[darkside97]

great idea :)

[emilm]

i made that

[ceowin]

Uh... that is not something new... I've seen this before... and I live in the Philippines!

[kharmachanic]

can you say.. rollerblades?

[nlyons162]

Fun! :)

[tomkendall87]

thats a really good idea man!!!

[werbinator]

it eats your skates. the coach said its made out of the same thing as the boards. if you hit your skate on the boards you need to get it sharpened.

[bc30629]

said its like it

[stormtrooperdude]

Hitting your skates on the boards is different then skating on the boards. The dulling factor comes from the impact.

I'm sure its harder on skates then Ice, but to say it "eats your skates" is a bit much.

[XXultamateXX]

I don't think it eats your skates, it definitely is going to wear out your skates a good bit more than ice, but not tear em up. Plus I know when i used to play I had practice skates and game skates, and i know if I used this thing I would have a different set of skates for it.

[AllyH015]

That's so cool! lol I want one of those! Hehe
