Superman !!!!!!

[Obergefreiter JR]

Hi guys,

I have been practising superman sliding for the past week now, Ive been doing palms up and chest first sorta thing. However much I try I still always land knees first... Anyone know a way to resolve this ?? Any more tips ??

Thanks

Joe

push off a little more just before your knees hit the floor and stretch out your body so that your elbows hit first. I have the same problem as you, and i keep winding myself, that was the only way i could stop doing it.

Basically when you go into the dive get as low as you can andgo into the dive, halfway try and flick your legs up slightly and this should get your knees out from underneath you. Remember to flick your gun wrist up aswell to avoid a barrel of mud!

this is what polly told me and it worked,
as your running and you want to superman lean over forwards until your body falls over as if you tripped, and for me when i do it that way i land chest first then knees.
try it and see if it works.

i agree with the tip above but make a point of try to get your tighs and knees to touche the ground at the same time, knees first will put u face first into the ground but you probably knew that.

your problem is your fear of hurting yourself. get over that and you'll get it in no time.

the more you hesitate the more your not going to get it.

and practice with your marker. theres no point practicing your dive if all your going to do is plug your barrel with a couple of inches of mud everytime you slide.

Make sure your pointing your gun away from the ground, and use your other hand to kind of push yourself along the ground.

Watch the videos of the pro's diving, you will see how to do it properly! But as steeley said, the more you think about hurting yourself, the more likely you are to hurt yourself.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ that is very true, once you hesitate it will go wrong.

yea go down low and the dive with your gun facing up works for me and im only 14

Tis true, having a barrel filled with 2 inches of thick mud is no fun especially if your up front.
