In this recently recorded class in Portsmouth (10/09/22), we found a short, steep slope and stopped for slopes practice. This included;- Assessing the slope and it’s steepness/length (not shown). – Assessing the run off area after the slope.- Assess the stopping options (Turning, T-stop, Plough stops, Grass stop, or unable to stop).- Controlled bombing, exploring your comfortable acceleration limits.- Starting at the bottom of the slope and working upwards as you succeed with lower speeds.There’s a lot going on that needs attention on slopes. They aren’t to be messed with. Nothing feels more scary than knowing you can’t slow down your skates and you’re on a slope accelerating….More edits like this will be coming out soon, such as the students practice and improvements caused by the repetition and corrections. We’re experimenting with some real live class footage as I try to pack in a lot of information and unique drills and progressions when I’m in class and I’d like to share them with you here too.
