EP #36 - A Guide To The Butterfly Slide, The Basics And What You Need To Know

A fairly comprehensive look at the components needed for a successful and stable butterfly slide. I cover everything from isolation to foot position and angle, to direction of slide and tips n tricks. Some things people do that are wrong is also covered in this video. Practice good technique and start slow the rest will come as you technique gets better.


Keys to a good butterfly slide are
Proper balance thru movement of femur and subtle body shifts
A Strong slide comes from good foot placement and purchase into the ice
You can control a lot of things by trying to drive the toe of the sliding leg into the ice and outwards.
Be sure the stick leads your slide and covers the 5 hole.
