    I have Bauer 1X skates and the paint is all chipped. I've only had them for 9 months. debating whether to spray paint them black! i did this with my old Bauer One.9 skates to practice on and they came out really well better than expected actually. Any thoughts?

     

    Do a search for blacking out skates on here.  I think most people prefer to go to Bic Markit route.

    Clarification on hand positioning.     · Report reply

    Should have a very quick first three steps then go in to a full stride.  Honestly, you're looking great.  Maybe try to keep your chest/chin a little more upright.  Looks like you're getting decent knee bend.  Concentrate on keeping your arms moving forward and backward with less of a swing/twist to them.

    Screen cap'd a frame, you want to keep momentum going as linear forward and backward as possible.  As you can see, your front arm is curled in front of your chest and the back arm is swinging out.

    Wow, so much improvement on those backwards crossovers in such a short amount of time. I don't know if you're doing it off camera, but make sure you're going around the circle both ways. If you want to mix it up, go around the circle facing the scoreboard the entire time, pivoting from forwards to backwards and vice versa at the top and bottom of the circle.

    When you're getting back up after the rolls, make sure you keep your feet underneath you. I'm nut sure if the second one when you were coming back if your foot slipped or not. One knee up then the other, you don't have to spring both legs at the same time. A drill for that is to skate the length of the ice. Drop one knee of the near blue line, dive on the red and the other knee on the far blue. Or do one knee three times, etc.

    You're doing a great job of keeping your knees bent! You're not bobbing much and you're staying pretty level. It makes all the difference. As you get more comfortable, you'll be able to drive the inside leg and extend it rather than just step over. Maybe try slow, purposeful strides once you find your balance. The first video, you seemed to be relying pretty heavily on the stick to balance you, the second video you weren't using it as as much of an aid.

    Oh, I'll actually be playing in a tournament down at that rink from 3/18-3/20!

    In the first video, I think you're kind of slicing it a bit too much. Like you're catching it mid-toe instead of heel-mid and not turning your wrists over to point the puck in the direction you want it to go. It got a little better with the regular pucks toward the end. Also, you're transferring your weight to the back leg then twisting instead of transferring from the back leg to the front leg. Think of it like putting all your weight on the bag leg and driving all that momentum through to the front leg and pointing the toe of the blade where you want it to go as you follow through. I was doing the basics of shooting with my JV kids the other day, most would transfer the weight back, but not forward or they wouldn't follow through with the stick.

    I'm definitely jealous of the amount of ice time you're getting to work on the basics of hockey. There's so much I wish I could work on. Keep up the great work!
