This guy doesn't only have techniques. He has dedication, and good fitness. Off-ice training is just as important as on ice. Using body strength workouts made me skate like never before.
This is my favorite RUclips video of all time! It is a very professional video with maneuvers executed by an elite level power skater. I actually love the combination of the song specifically with this style of skating. It is very energizing and motivating. I will have videos made in the future that are inspired from this top one. Thank you for sharing. I am a sprinter! This video is an excellent reminder of how beneficial it is to watch ourselves on video so that we are able to immediately perfect the imperfections in our skating.
I was trained with this technique and it really is fantastic..I became one of the best skaters on my team..if not the best. - as a playmaking forward its important stuff to practice/know !
My son's Peewee AAA team skates with him for an hour on Sunday mornings... he's a very likable, approachable guy, and good with the kids... you can see the kids learning new things with each session as he pushes them out of their comfort zone and every week's lesson is fresh & different. My son asked to be signed up for his camp in June and I didn't hesitate. Hope that helps.
Look at the old equipment, skates, etc - old technology and he's skating like modern day pros - AMAZING - a true testament to REAL Talent - something that is timeless and certainly not generational but specific to any individual that possesses it. This guy is incredible.
Fall, make mistakes, get the feel of your edges. Falling while practicing is good. Falling lets your muscles memorize what movements are required for a certain edge you'll be doing. Eg: Backward c cuts.
When my son played, he skated two summers with Victor at his camp on Long Island, and it was an amazing experience. I can still here the sound of Victor's blades on the ice, it was like thunder. Few people have ever skated like Victor.
Umm...I might be wrong but I think he taught lessons at Stamford Twin Rinks for awhile. Has anyone else taken lessons from him? I remember watching him skate around and it was just incredible. If it is him then I hope him all the best, he gave me a really good skating foundation.
I used to be able to skate like that until I busted up my knee, miss the sharp turns, quick stop and starts... he is sick...love watching this video, brigs back good memories.
FTW!!! this guy is SICK! i've been playing ice hockey since i was 6 and also many many years of free style,,and i can tell you how f...ing hard it is to have the control this man hass...!
Well you do raise a good point as many of the pros are wearing the stiffer boots.Many of these players have learned to shift off thier hips in those boots whereas many of the past players shifted off thier ankles. You cannot be as shifty of your hips as you can off your ankles and to shift off your ankles you have to be a better skater. So yes a softer boot in my opinion is better. You need lateral flex but you also have to know how to use them. You can always change the runners to tuuk
I have been having difficulty with tight turns, and I can not explain why. I was thinking there was something wrong with my blades. I wonder if it will help me stay up if I sit on my heels. I am going to emphasize this technique next time. This really has been bothering me.
@FredTrasnslated He was from Soviet Union time (He was USSR "B" squad player) - by the time USSR collapsed he was too old. Fantastic coach to learn from - for sure.
This is one kick ass skater! And concerning your quarrel down below: Graf skates are the best skates produced. I have tried almost every brand of skates there is/has been in the last 28 years playing ice hockey. The total count of skates i have worn would be around 35-40. And 50% of these were Grafs. And for the last 5 years I'm using Grafs and always will be! Pure Swiss quality, not that composite Bauer-bullcrap made in Asia!
Ill say this a lot of people think skaters of the past 80 90s etc where poor skaters and many where because they did not really know how to use those skates but those talented players who put the time in where wizes far more shiftier than anything you will see today and this guy is living proof of how good you could be. Ill say this you cannot imagine what a feeling that is to skate like he does. If you look closely at most skaters today they are all upright linear skaters
The main difference between ice skates and inlines is the fact that it is easier to turn your skates from side to side on ice skates, but there is more friction when going in a straight line. Inlines are vice versa.
@FredTrasnslated I don’t play hockey myself, but I’d guess that it’s possible for a player to skate as well as the pro’s, but be deficient in stick handling
Спорт
not sure whats better, the skating, or this kickass late 90s' music
this video is amazing man hahah
Umek
the music wins
Hair wins

I bet the Zamboni operator loves this guy
XD
He *is the Zamboni guy!
Coolest video on youtube I swear

This guy is really aggressive on ice I would love to see him in game

This guy is so great! Crazy powerful skating style he has!
I want a skating lesson from this guy! WOW.
It all starts with the haircut
you mean hockey stop???
+Leonhard Polixmair no the haircut

I wish I could skate like this
Yes! Absolutely! My favorite video on RUclips for life! Excellent Victor!
This guy is absolutely ELECTRIC!!
This is a fantastic video! Victor's skating is truly amazing.
Fall, make mistakes, get the feel of your edges. Falling while practicing is good. Falling lets your muscles memorize what movements are required for a certain edge you'll be doing. Eg: Backward c cuts.
This guy is awesome!! I hope it helps my son with his skating. Skating will allways improve your hockey game.
Wow, some great skills by Victor. Best luck to your son, and greetings from Hungary!

Sounds like a porno soundtrack lol
+Babylon_Kartel LOL!!
I was thinking the same

Sick flow.

the tight turns are insane

Omg!!! Victor is just unbelievibly & unnaturaly awesome!!! :D
That was sick! I wish I could skate like that.
I can honestly say this video works.
Can i please get a copy of this DVD?!
Beast mode [on] off
Honored to have the same pair of gloves as him..
The music aside, this guy is amazing.
the music is AWESOME
Ice hockey is such a cool sport. I wish we played it (more) in the UK.
great video,
I'm gonna buy the DVD
Victor. Eres todo un CHAMPION. (Clack). Como Patinas.
FTW!!! this guy is SICK! i've been playing ice hockey since i was 6 and also many many years of free style,,and i can tell you how f...ing hard it is to have the control this man hass...!
A lot of people are clownin' old boy, but dude can skate! Nice drills. Can't hurt to try 'em.
Holyshit. This guy makes me wanna skate so bad...I'm terrible, not long started but I'm determined to improve!
How does he stay up on those sharp turns at such an angle? I have trouble with this.
Well you do raise a good point as many of the pros are wearing the stiffer boots.Many of these players have learned to shift off thier hips in those boots whereas many of the past players shifted off thier ankles.

This guy is a freak of nature.
Don't act like it's not his sick flow thats propelling him to such speeds. It all starts up top.
I have been having difficulty with tight turns, and I can not explain why. I was thinking there was something wrong with my blades. I wonder if it will help me stay up if I sit on my heels. I am going to emphasize this technique next time. This really has been bothering me.
I'd love to see this guy try even one of these moves at those speeds with a puck.
@FredTrasnslated
He was from Soviet Union time (He was USSR "B" squad player) - by the time USSR collapsed he was too old. Fantastic coach to learn from - for sure.
Anybody know the music name and artist? I want to workout to it.
this guy is crazy good

@DermochelysCoriacea
Victor's got a DVD preview on his victoryonice website - check out "Lesson 5 preview - sharp turns", perhaps it can help
this is so sick! :D
nothing to say ,awesome !
YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOO RIGHT!!!!!
@DermochelysCoriacea try pivoting ur shoulders/chest in the direction your trying to go

I really want to go to one of his camps next summer, do u know where he holds his camps?
That guy is amazing! :o
@TheNorthside613 thank you
god i wish i had those skating skills
Anyone ever actually attended one of his camps? If so, how was it, and how much did your game improve, do you feel, as a result of it? Thanks.
Impressive!
cool i'll check it out
wow. just wow.
Probably need to Zam that ice a few times to get rid of those ruts!
Whats the name of the drill at 3:04 ??
I'm diggin the music
Might want to look at my other power skating videos, thats not the vid i was talking about
he is awesome
I don't have an ice rink in my country, is it possible to do that on inline skates?
+PARRA6666 u can practise sprints and crossover and thats about it. turns and stops are quite different on inlines.
Parallel turns and lunge turns are exactly the same as well. The hockey stop, the lunge stop and the snowplow stop can be done on inlines too.
The main difference between ice skates and inlines is the fact that it is easier to turn your skates from side to side on ice skates, but there is more friction when going in a straight line. Inlines are vice versa.
It may takes me 100 years but im going to master to this level.
i love how its sponsered by bauer.. and he had graf skates, easton stick and gloves..
Cool Man !!!
Incredible Skating.
very unique
awesome
Those ruskies are gifted skaters yo
The god of skating.
I got the part about "stroking" and had to stop watching I was laughing so hard
@FredTrasnslated Either he can't stick handle or he didn't want to. Pick one.
@FredTrasnslated
I don’t play hockey myself, but I’d guess that it’s possible for a player to skate as well as the pro’s, but be deficient in stick handling
Don't forget passing, vision, foresight, shooting, etc.
Мастер!
look at the powerful horse haunches on this guy, magnificent
@NextGenerationStuff Those are Grafs. Not sure which model. This video looks kinda old...
I want to go to the club now
Was this 90s hockey
I heard their working on a new technique in cuba.
Look at all that snow on the ice, proof that he sure is skating powerful.
nice vid,the guy is awsome :)
I taught this guy everything he knows. Dude was on double blades before he met me.
he can.
i will ask him to make another video with a puck :)
@renumultiplus yes that's him
@esentie owned a pair maybe i got a lemon but the steel was terrible on it
Круто!!!!
What skates does Victor have???
A lot of this is helped by getting as low as he does. Fully grown and his head is about crossbar height.
I get exhausted just watching this. 😂
i Wish i could skate like him :( !!
