Sliding in on ur stomache

[Mak D - Nexus Eclipse]

I was downloading and watching pro games from forcesofnature.com and i was studying their breakouts and noticed that most of em dive in on their fronts when they reach their bunka!
So i thought ah wot the hell am gonna go out and give it a go in the old back garden................. wot a fool i am

Now i have just returned and sat @ the computer after trying about 25 odd times at diving forwards onto my belly (gun in hand) and sliding forward into my make shift coke can, and i find myself in alot of pain lol.

Now i have cum to the conclusion that there MUST be a certain technique that needs to be used to slide in without breakin a rib!

If any1 knows wot this technique is then please tell me, cause i can t take much more of this lol.

A very sore and smelly (fcukin dog)

Bend as low as possible before actually diving and get your free hand on the ground first so that you can 'lower' your upper body onto the ground.

Another few musts:
Sliding shorts
Arm/elbow pads
knee/shin pads.

It'll hurt but not as much as it could do. hope it all helps

oh and don't try to stop when you do it. i did that once and damn it hurts. Once you start don't stop.....

Sliding on your chest on grass shouldnt really hurt, once you master it. Just make sure your hand hits the ground first and that your gun is above your arm when you hit the ground so there is no chance of the gun bending or the paint in the hopper bursting

I took a big chunk out of my arm doin this once at a practice!!

The key is to really get low b4 u drop and spread the load between your elbows/forarms and chest !! u should b able to get a good slide without to much speed so practice slower !!

mak....when ur in a game ull prolly run faster and be less self conscious and it will feel more natural.

the painful rib effect is probably a result of you doing it 25 times in such a short space of time.
you wont do it that much during a three day tourney.

make sure you're good sliding on your knees first...

I find the best way to slide is to smother your entire body in KY jelly before every game. That way you just glide along the grass, pure sliding pleasure...
