Amazing stuff! Thanks! When you "open up and load up the back leg", I see that you still face your head forward. Is it ever a good idea to look back when you open up? Would it help or hinder?
@@MarcelsHockeySchool Could a look "back" also aid in deception, to make the opponent think you're about to change direction or pass back (assuming you're carrying the puck)?
I'm not sure I understand: how is this 10&2 one leg hip opener with only the back leg doing t-push is going to generate More speed than crossovers where both legs are pushing? Could you please elaborate? Thank you!
I'm not sure of the actual physics, but I saw a few higher levels players doing it, as well as a young phenom over here in Germany doing it every time he would want to pick up a bit of speed, so I decided also to try it out myself. I feel that I can load up my back leg more than when doing a regular crossover, and that my blade angle changes so that I'm pushing directly backward (causing more forward momentum) than when crossing over where I'm kind of pushing sideways. Opening the hip also allows my to go straight ahead whereas the crossover changes your direction a bit. I would probably stick to the crossover when I already have a lot of speed going (because this is quite hard to do at high speeds), but use this at lower speeds, often when gliding after a pass reception, when I want to explode forward quickly from low speed.
Deine Videos sind echt Top, besonders die Aussprache in Englisch. Für einen Moment dachte ich du kommst aus Canada ! Die Beschreibungen sind 1A, am besten fand ich bis jetzt den Power Stop + Slowmotion. Ich fahre zwar nur Inliner und Aggresiv Skates, finde aber viel, was sich auch als erfahrener Skater auf Übungen anwenden lässt, um noch flüssiger/sicherer unterwegs zu sein. Weiter so :) Grüße aus Niedersachsen !
