Sven 1 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 Does this guy have a vid as well? I want to see this guy then! When this Victor guy right here started skating, it looked so unreal (in a positive way). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

t-bone 1 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 Ok, so Stamm, Glantz etc. always preach complete recovery after each stride - almost clicking heals together. They would say that this guy is 'tracking wide' (i think that is the term). So who is right? Sure can't call this guy a bad skater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
booyaagrandma 4 Report post Posted September 27, 2007 Ehh..........a whole bunch of drills I did growing up.If you can skate like this guy you should be selling videos too ;) ( heh,heh ) But seriously,I had a skating coach once say that once you learn the fundamentals that most skaters will inevitably develop their own 'style'.I can see some truth to that 'cause if its getting the job done who's to say just because a skater is not 'by the book ' technically correct ,that hes wrong ?

booyaagrandma 4 Report post Posted September 28, 2007 Yep ,I'd sooner see someone spend the cash on one on one lessons with a good coach ( like ole' Victor there ).He sure did turn up the 'wow' factor with this clip though. makes it a lot of fun to watch a damn good skater do his thing.I love Youtube.The guy presenting it is such a 'ham' ,funny. :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin 5 Report post Posted October 1, 2007 He has great body control and can change direction on a dime, but he is not the smoothest skater. He does not appear to get full extension on every stride. He is definitely a quick skater, but his style would likely limit his top speed. By smooth I mean S. Niedermeyer, classic Coffey, Fedorov in his prime, and very few others.quote name='TBLfan' date='Sep 26 2007, 11:28 PM' post='478556']Ok, so Stamm, Glantz etc. always preach complete recovery after each stride - almost clicking heals together.
