http://BladeBlaze.com If you are interested in learning how to try these techniques... slow motion is a good and fun way to see the body mechanics.

1. 360 knee / helicopter spins: I'm doing them fast, so I'm not fully exaggerating the full proper body technique... Wind upper body opposite from spin direction (eg. chest towards the right if spinning towards the left, creating momentum/torque). Once chest comes back towards desire direction, drop knee closest towards turn first; never drop down on two knees at once and then try to spin. The spin starts with upper body before any knee drops. Outside skate comes up first...




2. Shot Block Body Slides: I'm doing them really fast and long distance. In reality the mechanics are correct but shorter distance, not as fast (most cases). Knee closet to ground down first, "stack the pads", extend bottom arm to seal and cover more ice. My top arm should be stacking the body too, but it's not.

I'm just having fun coming up in reverse just avoiding crashing into the net and camera!




3. Shin Board Rails: "I'm just having stupid fun!" It really has no purpose other than a cool way to dodge an out of control sliding body into the boards!

  • that was halarious.... creative for sure.. functional.. TBD..

    if i see another youtube video of someone trying to impersonate sid or datsuyk im gonna dump my spitter on them

  • I appreciated the creative comment, it's body agility cordination development. The spins are great development to stabilized your body when out of control off of hits & trips, shot block slides are reality and the shin rails really have no purpose! .. other than a fun way to dodge an out of control sliding body into the boards.
