You’ve always put our great content, thank you. Hope you’re doing well!

I always go tight at the bottom loose and tight at top but never use the top holes which allows for good feel up to the ankles but doesnt restrict my ankle bend.

Can I bake Riedell figure skating boots like this if they don’t have blades yet? Should I use the same temperature? Do you do one at a time or is it ok to bake two & put on both of them at the same time?

I go over, then under, all the way up. That way I'm cinching every other eye. They're tied more quickly, and end up nice and tight.

Same as how I tight my ski boots. Snug in front to reduce cold feet, Loose in the middle for your arch, lock in your ankle lace tight so you don’t slide forward. Don’t use the top eyelet for tight turn.

I’m small and I train legs like crazy, and do lunges on the treadmill for 20 mins. This drill is awesome. Thank you.

Hi, can you put the Link for the deburring video in your introduction? cheers

Awesome review

Дядя! Скинь 20 килограмм веса ! Скажешь мне огромное спасибо!

Did you ever make follow up review videos. I looked and was unable to find them. Could you provide a link?

I'm fairly good at the fence crash stop.

All of the hockey shops in Minnesota have moved to the commercial grade Sparx machines for what it’s worth.

Go Pack!

Even Greater than Paul Coffee was an earlier barefoot skater. You may have heard of him. Bobby Orr.

Great video! I coach squirts and we have a wide range of skill in our group so trying to find some drills to challenge both the higher skilled, but also teach the lower skilled individuals the fundamentals and these drills will be great!

wouldn't the tension equalize throughout the laces after a bit just from flexion etc?

I'm in! I need a pair for my son.

Clean hit

Wow 😮

Wow

Great demonstration!

It's very hard to give feedback to the best players when you can't get the proper measurables and numbers around the "improvements" or adjustments in coaching. You're looking at a 13 second lap time with him. Then you say the toe push adjustment will help, the shoulder inside will help, the knee up more will help etc. Yet he's fast, statistically, WITHOUT doing those adjustments. Why? That I think needs to be learned first before giving feedback. There's a reason these players have set very high standards in skating, and I suspect the type of feedback that doesn't help is a contributing factor for them performing with "flaws"

Everyone is different

Pull the laces out, not up. You can deform (or even pull out) the eyelets.

Awesome thanks

Feel like there's a better song to play for kids skating contenet

Loosening at the arch seems to be the correct way.

Can I use this same method on figure skates

I have gone to multiple shops trying to get my skates sharpened and every time it’s a different sharpen. My brother in law got one of these and it’s like I’ve never had my skates sharpened before. It crushes any skate sharpen ive ever had and I’m 38 and have played hockey for a long time

What’s your view on the stryde hockey power skater?

so what I have noticed is that a sharpen at the shop is a 4 or 5 cycle equivalent. When I do it I may do a 4 cycle but typically a 2 pass just to refine.

I tie my skates very loose. I feel the skates on the soles of my feet much more when the skates are loosely tied.

Not sure if mentioned but I remember hearing McDavid doesn’t use the last couple eyes so the tie is right at the hinge of you foot so he can bend easier. I may try that next time I skate.

Lol except any and all skating will eventually even out that "tight/loose" tie up. Especislly without using wax laces like this guy. Lol physics is a tough one

The reason MacKinnon doesn’t start accelerating off his toes and using “toe punches” is because it’s not mechanically optimal. You see the same thing with McDavid. Sure the toe might be the last thing to leave the ice but that’s because of the rocker, or roundness of the skate blade. The toe naturally is the last thing to leave the ice. It’s not a push. Also, McDavid also doesn’t fully extend in his stride, this is because hockey is all about optionally, and staying wide and not fully extending gets you that optionality to make played (deke around defenders, pass, shoot etc) , McDavid and MacKinnon are fast, but they aren’t focused on raw speed, they should be a speed skater if they wanted to do that. Hockey players need to focus on the context of hockey rather than just, being the fastest in a straight line.

Thats awesome. Never crossed my mind. Now, is that carpet he is training on or cement?

Hey, where is This in

Hey man, is that in Greenville? I’ve been there before.

I like the drill but might increase interference calls - I prefer this with a puck so the contact is legal.

Or you could have them handle the puck

Some of these clips of drills have me questioning why I stay subbed. Not personally a fan of training in ways that don’t apply to real situations. Also, hockey coaches and camps seem very guilty of convoluted, overly complex drills which seem to only serve the coaches need to micromanage and overcompensate with overly complex drills which are nearly impossible to remember. Just some thoughts.

How do you change it?

Hi Ryan. Do you have a book for hockey power skating? And, do you conduct seminars for other power skating coaches? I work with an amazing program in Colorado called the Colorado Extreme. My background is a figure skating coach, for many years, but have now become a huge hockey fan and love our kids! As they improve, I need to as well. Please check out our organization on line - the mission is inclusivity and no skater pays a penny - for anything. We will have 5 sheets in western CO this coming season and are growing at a crazy speed. I love your passion for the game and your videos and would like to attend a workshop if you have them. Thank you!

Great explanation on how to learn how to hockey stop.

This is my best friend

How long should a slide board session be? Just picked up a Bauer one for my son

I love the idea of tight, looser, tight but I feel like after skating for a few minutes, It would balance out and be mostly too loose?

The Sparx machine offers something that most proshops can't, and that is consistency. You get the same sharpening every single time which is not possible at most proshops. I sharpened and profiled skates for 35 years. Started with an old Fero, then Foley, Blademaster, and then Wissota. While the finish of the Sparx isn't quite as good as I could offer with the a conventional machine, it is still quite good. The machine only puts the hollow in the blade, the true art comes in how the blade is deburred after grinding. There is a youtube video on my channel on how I debur. It was shot long before I bought a Sparx but the technique is the same.

Great video but i have a question. When you tie your skates like that, do you feel maximum control on the ice the same you would if you were to tie your skates tight all the way to the top?

I tighten my laces medium/tight/loose :O
