After the first episode involved Samo Kokorovec and Silvo Svajger, & egrave; now fallen to Dario Betti and Matthew Guarise, pleased to explain the differences they encountered "moved" from one discipline all''altra.Nel transition from wheels to ice what are the major difficulties & agrave; you have encountered? & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & Nbsp;
Dario - The difficulty & agrave; were very numerous, did not think there was cos & Igrave; much difference, in fact I can say that there '' & egrave; almost nothing similar between the two sports, talking both in terms of technical, business and mentality & agrave ;.
Matteo - The major difference & eacute; surely the 'tilt lateral ankle that initially generates the feeling of instability & agrave; and certainly the shape of the blade forming a semi-arch sends his foot rotating when the thrust!
In the two disciplines will make the same jumps, for & ograve; technique & egrave; different. Which jump presents major differences in tecnica?
Dario - It names are the same, but the technique certainly not. For me the 'axel & egrave; was to pi & ugrave; difficult to learn, the technique does not have anything like compared to that of casters (only the phase of flight remains unchanged).
Which element copy presents major differences in technique?
Matteo - The lutz twist & eacute; was the 'element that I had to completely change! I have worked so hard for the Mohawk & ograve; I also found many similarities.
From personal experience I know that going from wheels to ice you have many difficulties & agrave; with the wires and with the steps. Coma have passed this passaggio?
Dario - is exact, there are many difficulties & agrave; because & eacute; Wheel in virt & ugrave; dell''attrezzo, wires do not, you do not work on inclinations, but on the strength, while on the ice & egrave; it became more & ugrave; important to know how to skate well with wire and spring units. In my opinion this problem you must first overcome a mental level and what & egrave; put yourself in the position of having to start from scratch, deleting and resetting all the feelings that you have, from the Igrave ;, & step by step, you can & ograve; build everything and learn to have a good glide.
Matteo - To become familiar with the wires have to slightly change the shape of the leg muscle to gain better control of the instrument, in any case requires a bit & rsquo; of time and not just practicing on the ice, you have to do some exercises with platforms that reproduce the movement of the shoe and elastic!
& Nbsp;
What are the differences in the tops?
Dario - The tops have many peculiarities & agrave ;, changes in the ice are required to increase the levels of positions, and regulations you can not escape, so take much elasticity & agrave; and training because & eacute; & Egrave; all sensitivity & agrave; to make them silent and pi & ugrave; fast. A wheelchair, however, serves more & ugrave; strength (given the resistance that creates the 'friction to turn) and there are no necessary changes of position. One of the biggest differences for me, at the level of feelings and technical & egrave; was the one here on the ice the ankle remains virtually stops and straight and & egrave; a "work up" while Wheel was very stressed with bending and twisting. & Nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp;
Matthew - What pi & ugrave; difficult to learn to do the spinning tops & eacute; understanding of that part of the blade do the rotations to decrease the pi & ugrave; possible 'atrito.
Ice skating & egrave; ugrave & much more; expensive than skates. What are the major expenses?
Dario - Between the two & egrave; much more & ugrave; expensive because & eacute; There are the costs of the ice in pi & ugrave; and the type of work that is done & egrave; different because & eacute; each athlete of a certain level needs a team of coaches around (dancers, choreographers, trainers, technicians and for skating), so the costs can be high.
Matteo - Spending more & ugrave; big & eacute; surely the 'ice now, the various structures have very high electrical charges to keep the temperature and thus the costs skyrocket!
According to you in Italian lacks competent coaches?
Dario - So, in roller skating in Italy we have the best coaches in the world in all disciplines, for years now, and we confirm we win all the titles in the world. Ice we have excellent technical and good team work, especially in the dance we un''ottima tradition. & Nbsp; & nbsp;
Matteo - In Italy there are many coaches competent what is lacking at times are the appropriate structures for the 'perfect workout and unfortunately for economic issues many children they train a few hours!
On the ice you can & ograve; enter the senior category based on the minimum technical score, while Wheel is the rule dell''et & agrave; and not the skill. What do you think? & Nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp;
Dario - I think that if an athlete & egrave; really ready, as well as from the technical point of view also the mental, should have the possibility & agrave; to compete in the major leagues because & eacute; he deserves it, the important thing for & ograve; & Egrave; that there is a proper balance between things so as not to damage and "burn", but rather allow it to go on the pi & ugrave; possible in carriera.
Matthew - I think regardless dall''et & agrave; the place it is for the best athlete on the square and if a young & eacute; ready to compete in the senior category & eacute; just takes the opportunity & agrave; do it!
& Nbsp;
A ringaziamento to Dario and Matthew for being willing to collaborate despite numerous sporting commitments. & Nbsp; & nbsp;
