When you're doing cut of the small cut, is the weight in your left foot on your pinky toe/outside edge?
@polerin 6 ай бұрын
Weight is pretty evenly balanced, maybe 10% more in the foot that is doing the flick (right foot in this case). On the flicking foot, the weight is in the pinky. On the cutting foot, the weight starts centered, then shifts to the inside edge, at least in my body

"Be a 5 year old kid that can't sit still." Can't tell you how much this one phrase has transformed my practices. Get to track early? 5-year-old kid Water break? 5-year-old kid In line for a drill? 5-year-old kid Have to sit out for a bit? 5-year-old kid Chatting after practice? 5-year-old kid I get so much more practice in my practice time. I'm not even practicing harder, I'm just doing casual repetitions/fidgeting. I'm doing this for a bunch of skills now. Transitions, turn around toe stops, C-cuts. The vets have noticed I'm picking things up faster.

Reps reps reps reps. Glad to hear it's worked for you! The one thing I would add to that mindset is to do variations on the same skill. Derby isn't a sport where we can really hit form perfect things in place, instead we need to be able to adapt and perform slightly different versions of them.

Hi, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! I'd been struggling with lateral movement for months and while several different players from my league tried to help me, I just didn't get it. I stumbled upon your video about a week before my minimum skills test and your comparison to how a 5-year-old kid would move made something *finally* click in my brain. The skies cleared and I finally got it and ended up passing my minimum skills! Thank you again! ❤

Any tips for getting my hips to open more? I can lateral, but a) not pretty b) my feet are never like --- ---. Plows are super easy just can't get my feet to point outwards in a straight line
@polerin 5 жыл бұрын
That is different from skater to skater. The one thing I will say is that I don't think it is *usually* a lack of flexibility. In my experience it is usually that your balance is too far forward causing you to curve in, or a lack of strength in the antagonistic muscles which makes it hard to pull open. Practice opening up off skates, but don't force it past the point of discomfort or use an external object to force rotation. Other than that, you actually don't need to fully open to do this particular thing, as you can switch from foot to foot as you go.
@polerin 5 жыл бұрын
Also, if you have a natural internal rotation to your hips, it can make this more challenging. Find ways to do this kind of motion without forcing an unnatural position for your body, and work on slowly building the ability to open.

I have such a problem with this, another thing I have seen is using a ball and rotate the ball so now using a ball I can do it, I can also do it if I am just going forward and backward or if i am outside. But my body seems to refuse to do it while going around the track especially on turns. idk why. Speed is scary. AGH
@polerin 6 жыл бұрын
Speed changes to valance of forces. Suddenly, you are not just trying to balance your body, but also handle the outcome of any wiggle or off center rotation that you caused through your transition. Try upping your speed slowly, and focusing on a smooth, controlled transition.
@JessicaTaylorIO 6 жыл бұрын
thePolerin OK thank you! It seems to be the one thing I can't get. Trying to stretch my inner thighs if that makes sense when I "open my book" it doesn't like to go the full 180 if that makes sense. Just keeping on practicing lol.

@PensederbyBrasil 8 жыл бұрын
This is a very nice stance. Keeping the upper body too straight is very dangerous and I have also seen a lot of injuries coming from that. Keeping the upper body too low is also a problem as it is easier to lose balance and fall to the front. So I agree with you in that and I'm waiting to see the next video you talked about in this one. ;) I really like your channel, keep doing this great work! =D
