Sliding in on ur stomache

[L J]

yeah guppy, if u manage to dive onto your bottle, i would love to see you dive, it would be like seeing a rugby player do his best effort to tackle someone just about to go over the line, although he forgot to put his arms out

I haven't read the whole thread but has anybody mentioned fitness which will bring agility? Get fit, then try it, it hurts waaaaaay less.

Be careful me old boltarian, people might think your calling them fat

Still, i cant see how fitness would help with sliding in.If anything it just takes practice. Knowing your own body and judging the best way to land on it (with the bottle infront of you ) will help greatly. It will help with sliding in and will prevent injury.

PS: or you could just do what Sergei made Russian Legion do, 1000 supermans from one barricade to the next

the trick is to get down low n then slide the worst thing is when u see some one dive really hard but the sorta just go up then belly flop the floor lol

 

[Gyroscope]

I have to agree with Bolter- fitness helps. If you exercise more, you will have more coordination and will withstand shocks better. Although, as my esteemed monkey colleague notes, sliding after getting low is the key.

 

[Bolter]

Correct, although I am no great slider, I do know for certain that if you are not in great shape you should probably not attempt too many slides, of course you'll learn if you do but the chance of injury is higher. When your body is up to spec you then have to work on technique. You kind of run, and then get low like you are falling over, get lower and throw your arms out and hit arms and chest at the same time.

Darwood you're still quite young and that is a massive advantage on the fit and healthy front!! I wish I was 5 yrs younger!!

the one problem i have

is breaking paint in my loader every time i superman.
i just have to learn to support my gun better i spose.......also doing it on woodchip doesnt help.

 

[Bolter]

some people run from the break with no paint in the hopper. Fill when you are in and comfy.

you should have your free hand on the floor before the gunb is and then i get my gun arm moutstreched and then the rest of my body. you just got to do, if you hesisitate you'll hurt yourself because you haven't committed....
