when i was a lad i joined the Army cadets and our Colour Sergent showed us this move he called it the Cadet dive,
basicly you had to run flat out and then dive landing on your chest then you slid to a stop!! thing was he made us do it without using your hands to steady ourself, after doing this over and over you lose all fear of sliding and diving (and you lose most of your front teeth:D ;) )
to demonstrate this to us he did it on a tarmac carpark!!!!!

man i miss the cadets!!!!!!!

on your side..

like.. your left hand and elbo on the ground and your left knie on the ground(pulled up)

stretch the right leg en with the right hand make sure your gun does not smash into the ground..

its easyer then a superman and has less inpackt as a superman..

i can do both but i rather doe a side slide then a superman
Baseball style.

superman is all good. but slightly impractical if u want to run from the gate to a back left bunker for instance on the break and u wanna have ur gun up fast. also slightly hard not to overslid if its a small bunker.

thanks for all ur help.

Just drop your right hand/elbow first then the rest will follow mate. Then use that hand to push you onto your opposite leg and into a shooting position.

Cheers

now thats a little harsh!!!! ;)
i come from an island the size of a large shopping centre which has 550 people living on it (500 alchaholics and 50 learners{under 18's}) and they reakon there is approx 500 rabits per person on that island,
and that their burrows will end up destroying the cliffs!!! so i think i am allowed a hatred towards the small fluffy things people insist on giving to thier children as pets where as when i was a child they where my main source of food!!!
