Glad to see you're still making videos! I'm a super newbie to inline speed skating and your clear and concise tutorials have really helped. I'm in the L.A. area and there are surprisingly few resources here for people into this sport. Would love to see another Easy Inline Skating Tips video on topics such as fundamentals, building ankle strength, etc.
I just oredered a slide board today. I moved to an area that just doesnt have good places to skate (aside from super crowded rinks) so i figured i could do this at home more
Great video! Can you please explain what we should be aiming for with weight transfer on a slide board? Where should our weight be with each stroke? Cheers
Great tips Joey. Thx. I have a question. How does one protect the lower lumbar area of the back when training on a slide board? A challenging question I'm sure. :)
Thank you for this video. It was very interesting to learn about the slide board and point of view from speed skater. Myself, I was a figure skater when younger and have much respect for what the speed skaters can do. Been thinking about getting back into adult skating and trying a slide board. Question for you, is there adult speed skating classes? I know in figure skating there is but curious if there are adult level in speed skating. Thank you again! Jess ☺️🙏
In your demonstration your feet appear to be parallel naturally without any compensation from the hips. Some individuals are naturally out-toed or in-toed for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately these differences also point the skate blades off parallel as well (although higher quality speed skates can adjust the holder to the boot to compensate if necessary). Since I am one of those persons should I try to consciously turn the feet to parallel or just leave them in their natural "neutral" positions? To do so might also affect the shoulder rotation as well! Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Awesome video, thank you, but the third tip sounds like it contradicts the double push video you've made where you are in fact leaning your body in the direction of the outer edge of the skate you are standing on. I am probably getting it wrong and leaning is not the same as tilting, but I am a bit confused.
That slideboard is I believe only 5 feet long isn’t that kind of short? I am an experienced skater and looking for a good Slideboard. Excellent instructive video 👍
Check out the UltraSlide. They have 10 foot versions with built in adjustments so you can scale them down to 7 ft in one foot increments if you choose.
That are actual quite useful tips for ice skating, when it comes to inline speed skating though, isn't it correct to use your shoulders? Meaning lowering and rotating a bit on to the rolling leg??
I think you can get away with cheating the basics more in inline skating so you see a lot of great skaters with movement in the upper body, but I would never teach anyone to intentionally have trunk rotation, or any sort of bouncing motions. You still want to have good core activation and learn how to connect your upper body mass to the stroke, exaggerating these skills is the best way to solidify that foundation in my opinion
as far as mistake number one goes? now is that down to the foot angle mechanics of a slideboard? cause correct me if im wrong dont you open up your hip on your forward stride. coming from an hockey player to fyi. i do realize our stride varies a bit from speed skating. im just a little curious about that one
Is it your belly button that needs to be lined up with the center of your foot so you can get even power through each push? Thank you for helping so many people.
The belly button is a good general guide to start with, from there you can make small adjustments based on your body type to find that perfect balance point, which should be targeted in the middle of your foot.
Realistically on skates you're not holding your skate out to the side of you while you glide, you're actively recovering, so 6 foot should be sufficient for anyone looking to better their technique. If you're trying to use this as a workout tool for sprinting (which I think diminishes your technique) then yes, these are probably too short
@@JoeyMantiaSkates Interesting point. I only started using a slideboard when I moved to Norway and then for LT skating not really inline. I guess the longer boards might just be a relic of the past, when ice was all about super long strokes.
Skating isn't about how hard you can push, it's about how well you can execute the strokes using your body weight, that being said I think a long board can promote bad habits unless you really, really know what you're trying to accomplish on it
@@JoeyMantiaSkates I am aware, but it's good that you are saying this. We haven't used slideboards that much this past year, but in coming seasons I might advocate for a slightly shorter board
I bought the slide pad today and I don't know how i can use this one, but you can let me understand everything very easily. Thank you so much.🎉🎉
Can you please do race analysis on the road and I just want to say thank you for all of hard work you put in this sport and making it better. 👍
do you have a specific race in mind?

What board do you recommend? I just bought one and I can't slide to the ends. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. :(

Look who's back!
Love seeing you here, but these legs suffer. Hope they'll heal soon. Thanks for the video, even tho I have no this board.
Outstanding! Thank you Joey.
Most succinct education on skate mechanics that I've seen. Well done and thanks.
Translate for them
Great video , Champ.
Make videos more often.
Very useful...thank you very much...
Great video, Thank you. Just started with this exercise, and this video is a GREAT help. 😁
Angles angles angles. Thanks for the video JM!
With these kind of videos you trascend from Champion to Master. Huge thanks fron Argentina Sir!

Is there a specific shoe that goes with the slide board?
Sir make a video regarding perfect sprint poisture ...
Do you have a link for those exact shoe covers?
Hi, I know you may be busy with Olympic preparation. Best luck for that 💐 and we need your guidance in youtube at least twice in a month.
Hi I would assume these techniques apply to hockey players also?
That slideboard is I believe only 5 feet long isn’t that kind of short? I am an experienced skater and looking for a good Slideboard. Excellent instructive video 👍
I just ordered the Brrrn adjustable since I am 6’1”. Hopefully I will put it to good use in the long run.

My skate board is a little long so I dont skate well, I have to push extra to reach each side...how do I fix the board so its shorter?
Hola, somos tus fieles admiradoras, desde Venezuela. Me gustaría que saliera traducción 😓
what shoes are these?
hi sir
could you make a racebreak down of 100m
What if my board is a bit longer, how do i adjust
Where can I get a slide board lie yours?
I would like You to make videos for Urban skating, i practice Urban skating but i would like yo skate like you with My freeskate
Hi! My favourite Skater!
Nice
Is there maybe a German Version? My daughters need this Video in German
From where you got this slidboard please give me any contact
it's literally in the description.
It's a sponsored video
Crack !!! #Mestre !!!
Very impressive mate, your interior design skills are not bad either…

Can someone run on it? As a treadmill assimilation
Aren't the boards quite short?
5 or 6ft is like 150cm-180cm.
It seems a bit short for skating technique
