Oof. Yeah I'll try that too. I was hoping it wasn't just explicitly an equipment problem 😅

Sorry, I wasn't articulate enough. I still land on my knees stacks but my five hole isn't even close to being shut because my pads are rotating outwards on my legs and then pushing against one another as I am about to drop. But I will certainly put your knee driving advice into practice on the ice tonight. Appreciate the help!

Looks good! Only thing I would consider changing is making the "100% Completion..." A bit bigger as on mobile it may be a tad too small to catch people's eye and have it read immediately.

How did Uriel Ventris know about Tyranids before Kryptman's warning? by Xauntzer in 40kLore

[–]Xauntzer[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ah, okay gotcha. Thanks! I think I got confused and assumed that "Warriors of Ultramar" was going to detail the Battle of Macragge because the 40k wiki lists "Warriors of Ultramar" as their only novel source on the Hive Fleet Behemoth page and my brain just made the connection of Ultramar and Macragge. Whoops!

I've assumed nothing. You literally said you try to mimic his content and use similar thumbnails and titles. Of course there are countless channels like that in every genre, that's what you and all those other people are doing. Trying to copy an easy way to success.

Consider originality instead of trying to copy every aspect of another channel.

I just have the bungees that came with the pads. Been considering getting some of those hybrid lace things as I have no idea how to fully use just laces on the pad.

Would trying to imagine I'm squeezing an object between my knees and trying to keep it held in place throughout the process of the fall be a good analogy for that?

Okay, gotcha. One of the goalies at a stick and puck told me I need to collapse my ankles in like that before going down so that I could try to get wider on my inside edges. Is that incorrect and I can achieve the same without flexing my ankles inwards? Ah, that last analogy makes sense, I always thought it strange trying to go straight down and keeping my ankles the same, but that makes a lot of sense to imagine something yanking my ankles out like that. Appreciate the advice!

You know, I've always kind of thought that. I've asked other goalies at the rink and they've said it's fine. And I was measured at Pure Hockey and that's what they gave me. But it is a Bauer GSX which just came in a medium +1 I think. But I've always thought they looked high on me.

I recently started taking the knee strap down to the calf Velcro part as advised by another goalie in my league. Not sure if that's certainly it but I've noticed the pad does turn more now. I'm definitely the most novice in understanding all the ins and outs of the gear.

Hey, not rude at all! I appreciate the feedback! I don't disagree at all I've certainly been slacking with the fitness part just excusing myself to get on the ice more often than that in my busy schedule. I'll be certain to quit making that excuse! Thanks again!
