@DermochelysCoriacea It is not that easy for the guy in video, either. He drags his feet behind on every step. Besides, I would love to see him do that in gear. Totally different dynamics, so its normal for you to feel weird. Also, do this with both hands on your stick. This guy cheats all the way to the bank. There is not one demonstration here where he does not cheat to make it look easier. He cuts also too much into the ice with his blades. For you, don't be afraid to fall.
I gave this drill a try a couple of times in the past week. It was tough at first, but I was lucky to have enough free ice space and I got it figured out after about 20 minutes of falling down. It's a great drill...thx.
I tried this today for the first time and found it immensely challenging and risky. I was able to do it crudely, but I was afraid my knees would give out or bend the wrong way almost at any moment. Of course, however, I will aim to master it.
Micanut48 you are wrong. This guy would put you to shame. Nut is in your name cause you must have lost one :)
