Video Description

Tired of being slow or want to level up your forward stride to Nathan MacKinnon levels? Join Downhill Skating Coach Spencer White as he gives us three tips, drills and how you can bring his skating mechanical advantage into your game.

🔑 Key #1: Y Angle - Learn the art of ankle collapse, mimicking MacKinnon's low Y angle for optimal stride efficiency. Drills include the Ankle Collapse Walk, Ankle Rolls, and the Ankle Collapse Stride Auxiliary.

🔑 Key #2: Shin Angle - Distinguish knee bend from shin angle and build the feel of getting your knee forward. Practice with Shin Angle Drops and the MacKinnon Knee Forward Auxiliary.

🔑 Key #3: Heel To Toe Rocker - Explore how pressure moves along the blade rocker, emphasizing the Heel To Toe motion. Master the Moon Rock drill and integrate it into your stride with the Stutter Stride for an effective blend of control and speed.

🚀 These drills, developed at Train 2.0 and are tried and tested for significant progress. Remember, the forward stride is a complex but foundational movement, and these keys provide a solid starting point.
