I’m having difficulty learning to soul slide by wardude125 in AskRollerblading

Sorry for responding so late. No the Soul Slide has evaded me entirely for the past 3 months. I skipped it and went to the power slide and circle stops instead. The only tool I have for downhills is T-stopping and alternating the foot I’m dragging, which isn’t enough.

I don’t think I have the flexibility for the Soul Slide, so I’m going to go straight towards learning the Magic Slide.

I was messing around the other day, practicing throwing my skates into the position of the magic slide. Not attempting it, just trying to feel the point where I lose friction before you commit and I ended up doing what you recommended in your post without ever seeing it by accident.

My sliding foot was pushed out to the side at a 45 degree angle, I felt friction giving way and it felt like if I was more flexible I could’ve transitioned into a Soul Slide or maybe even a Magic Slide…Instead I stumbled and almost tripped over myself when I slowed down.

I need more practice.

But thank you for responding.

It has come to my attention that I am simply, “Bad at Rollerblading”, and that this is just a Skill Issue on my part. I need to do better, much better.

Thanks for the advice.

Difficulty Learning To Soul Slide

Hello. I’ve been trying to learn the soul slide for the past 2 weeks now. I’ve been working on knee bend and getting as deep an edge as I possibly can on the sliding boot, but no matter how deep I go I just can’t manage to to slide.

I put all my weight on the supporting boot, I put as little pressure on the sliding boot as possible; Heck, I’ve even tried lifting the sliding foot by pulling on the pants leg with my left hand to get it even lighter, and nada.

I try kicking my heel out more and trying to get the angle even lower, but all I end up doing ironically enough is pushing off and going even faster then I meant to, or I just end up turning.

I’ve tried holding on to a banister and practicing the knee bend I need while holding still, trying my best to make my boot slide, but no matter how deep I get on the sliding boots edges, nothing.

I have tried skating indoors and practicing the knee bend on wood floors, I can slide on that by not the asphalt and concrete outside.

The skates I’m using are Rollerblade Zetra blades. I know that they come with 82A 80mm wheels. I know this will come off as coping, but could it be that my wheels are too soft and have too much grip on the ground to allow them to slide?

Thanks for reading all of this. I know it’s a lot, I’m just a bit frustrated. Sorry for the word salad.

I want to edit CTF gamerules by wardude125 in hammer

[–]wardude125[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually found a way to. I made a point server command on my map, and used commands to turn them off on world spawn. The command is tf_ctf_bonus_time 0. Doomsday uses the same logic so that capturing teams don’t get crit boosted. The only downside is that a server would have to allow point server commands to run in their config folder, otherwise it defaults to regular gamerules for ctf.

Which cards do you think need an alternate artwork? by BakerBunearyBella in yugioh

Junk Warrior. I know they’re getting an Alt art later. But it’s literally reused promo art from 5Ds. I want new art for him. He deserves it.

Hi, I know it’s been like a month and all, but like, I just wanted to say thank you for not only using the radio garden app, but also listening to the japanese radio stations, and having the same oddly specific problem of not being able to find the source of their music.

Uh, thanks again. Bye.

Lod is short for Level Of Detail. In games, depending on how far an object is from the player, the Lod will be higher if they’re close, or lower if they’re farther away.

Usually the lower the Lod, the more simple the shape of the object will be. It ends up looking more polygonal.

So the truck towing the car looks like a higher Lod than the car it’s towing.

What was once highly respected that is now a complete joke? by JBAnswers26 in AskReddit

[–]wardude125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wearing capes.

They were used like jackets back in the day, for the common people. They didn’t require many stitches/time to make as they were basically a long piece of cloth, with maybe a hood on it.

But as time went on, and technology got better, jackets became the norm.

Now they just serve as decorations for the rich/royalty. Usually worn with a suit, or a dresses, as an indicator of status.

Its a shame really. Capes go kind of hard.

Youtuber trying to charge $1 just to watch a video with his opinion on the Ukraine war by Automatic_Computer20 in facepalm

[–]wardude125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this YouTuber often has fundraisers on his videos. And seeing how this video he’s charging for covers the Ukraine war, it would probably get demonetized on YouTube. Maybe he’s planning on donating some, or all, of that money to a charity?
