Faster Skates: July 2014
http://fastersoapbox.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 17, 2014. Faster has spent a good chunk of the last two weeks working on tight stopping and direction control. In anticipation for the launch of our new 59mm wheels, we have been putting the new 59's. and our brains through the paces. We have found a few key ways to use the beveled front and overall shorter wheel to execute tighter direction changes, and sharper stops. Ewan from Team Canada. Foot that goes behind.

Faster Skates: Absorption
http://fastersoapbox.blogspot.com/2014/06/absorption.html
Monday, June 9, 2014. Let's take a look at the clever one foot absorption trick that we picked up from Blizzard of Bristol Roller Derby. Blizz is a fly skater with devastating edging, as well as pinpoint contact and hitting skills. Blockers can work not only to counter jammer on the edges, but can also use quick absorption and edging techniques to maintain or strengthen both defensive and offensive positioning.

Faster Skates: Catches
http://fastersoapbox.blogspot.com/2014/05/catches.html
Thursday, May 1, 2014. Happy end of the week! This weekend we recommend that you grab a couple of friends and work on the nuances between vertical and later catching. Vertical catching incorporates a speed change from matching the pace of the jammer - to dramatically slowing down once contact has been made. Laterally catch opponents and pass them to your teammates - so everyone can share in the fun. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Picture Window template. Powered by Blogger.

Faster Skates: Weekend Footwork!
http://fastersoapbox.blogspot.com/2014/04/weekend-footwork-fun-grab-couple-of.html
Friday, April 11, 2014. Grab a couple of minutes at practice this weekend to work on your foot and line work. The video above shows two variations, one with a hockey stop and one with a crossover step. You can do them both backwards and forwards. The video above shows c-cuts, which are great for driving power in fluid movements. If you're new to c-cuts, begin rolling before beginning your cuts. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
