Aussie Joe 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2007 What do you guys do when switching back on your first game to get yourself suited back to Ice/Inline?I went back to Inline for one game last Thursday after spending about 1-2 mths on the Ice. I noticed that the 1st few instances I tried to hockey stop I kept my blade too upright as if I was on ice. I conciously had to try and get myself to stop on more of an angle. A couple of times I forgot mid game and nearly snapped my ankle! I never really got the feel back for the Inline stop all game. Im going back to Ice tomorrow (big game) and want to make sure I can shake off all of my "inline traits" during warm up. What should I do? Practice my stops and cutting etc? Just wanna get a feel for what some of you guys do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DamnLocust 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2007 Lots of guys also have difficulties with puck control/puckfeel when switching back and forth due to the lighter puck for inline, and the increased glide on ice. Since you only played inline once, you shouldn't have too much difficulty getting back on the ice, but just get out there and feel all of your edges and make sure you still know where they are. Cutting/stopping in both directions would probably be the best way to go about it. Doing it with a puck would be even better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hede 2 Report post Posted April 20, 2007 The best thing fore me was gething the sprung frames fore inline. It has the feeling of iceskates. Alot of people say the same. Look in the sprung tread under rollerhockey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie Joe 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2007 I have the sprungs and I gotta say they are all thats been promised. But I have the most difficulty when I go from Ice to Inline and then need to train my brain to stop with more angle as opposed to "sliding" with an almost straight blade in ice. Unfortunately the Sprung doesn't help with that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lfntn10 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2007 I personally try to avoid inline, for some reason, I feel that it hurts my playing on the ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
