Excellent breakdown! Very helpful. An exercise ,(on ice) to add: drop your knee all the way to the ice and c-cut with your knee on ice. At the end of it (can be even full 360 degrees turn) lift off your knee.
McDavid starts these with crossovers (to the left) and when it looks like he's going to plant his foot he drops it. The tricky part is not losing momentum so you can turn the jets back on towards the net
If you were to pinpoint the differences in terms of pros/cons/when to use it or not between the soft drag and the hip drop what would they been? For me the soft drag seems to turn a bit faster and sharper but doesn’t seem to work at high speed (too much torque) but maybe I need to work on it more?!
Spence, great videos'. Ankle collapse. If I don't tie my skates tight enough, I fall a lot. Do NHLers keep laces loose or don't just tie the last eyelet? Thx
Hi Joseph, my best advice is to test it out. Personally I believe one eyelet down is the sweet spot, where you have enough support but you’re also able to articulate your ankle, but for you it might not be. Let me know how it goes!
YES! Jason goes into more detail in the course and you can ask more detailed questions in the facebook group or on the weekly calls. Although there's not a lot on this move, but there is on the soft drag which as I said is pretty much the same. If you're interested in joining, I have the link in my description!
@@drunkviggo7263 that makes sense, the soft drag is more difficult. Since you have less support from your other leg and you also have to drop your hip which is more challenging. It requires you to stay even more relaxed.

Thank you for watching! Leave your thoughts down below.
Nicely done Spencer! Thanks for breaking it down in such great details. 👍
Thank you! It’s all in the details
I thoroughly enjoy your break downs when I see them pop up on the feed 👍
Thank you Paynan, that means a lot to me! I'll make sure to keep making good content for you.
Great stuff. The off-ice exercises are very GOATA-like!
Thanks Greg! Besides the ankle collapse drill, they would not be happy with that one hahaha

Quick start video?
I'll add it to the list. Although, Train 2.0 has a video on quick starts. Search Train 2.0 acceleration, should be the top results. Hope that helps!
It did thank you!
Shoulders were not level
Sup buddy.
Sup!
@@TheDownhillSkater Are the Downhill Skating moves explained in way more detail in the paid course bro ?

@@TheDownhillSkater Bro I find it easier to do the heel anchor than the soft drag ( toe anchor ).

Thank you! Great point, knee down drills are great for this too. Knee drops - Hip drops. You can see with Marner his knee is almost touching the ice.
