Does this forum have an ice rink or OT section?

It's actually like a 3/4 of a rink
Hey those small rinks can be fun. 60 second drills are once again 60 secionds. Forces the puck hogs to move the biscut, but going back to a full sheet is a bear when you have to back check. FINN If you get up to Phily. look me up. Friday and Sunday skates where we get some AHL and NHL guys sluming with us.

Back on topioc: How come every year my acceleration curve on skates gets a little slower. HAHA

FF, so, do you left foot skate? Sorry, couldnt resist..
With the advent of the electric clutch (now on the steering wheel and integral with the antistall strategy) more and more drivers find it easier to LFB. I say this in reference to not having to use a foot for clutching the car while spinning and pitting to keep the car alive.

Gil de Ferran used to use both right and left foot braking techniques. Laguna Seca being one event that he found it better to do so.
