Hey guys,

I need help on my Superman Slides... I have never done it in a game, i think, but i just went outside and tried it and it is tough. I run fast and all but im not sure how to slide correctly. Do i even have to jump or just slide? Any pointers you can give me will be aprreciated.

Thanks

You just drop to your belly and slide.. atleast thats what I do.

Their isn't really a "right" way to do them or a way to practice, when your in the game it just happens, you dont even really put though into it.

Just be sure to hold your gun right and not smash it into the ground or even worse land on it (ive seen it happen).

When i superman slide i have my shoulder land first that way my gun wont hit the ground. But make sure if you do this dont hit the ground too hard or ull snap your shoulder. Practice a while before doing it a game. Thats when your gonna mess up. And I dont jump making it lighter landing on my shoulder.

Other wise just dive and hold the gun in front of you. Level it with your head(im assuming your head isnt gonna hit the ground) and then just land. If you can after you hit try slide up onto your knees(its harder but if you can do it it will really help)

You call the Eagle, Eagle does the rest.

i suggest practicing with a stick or something rather than your gun. I've seen too many slides go wrong, and see hoppers or entire feednecks go flying.

Thanks for the advice,

I practiced sliding yesterday, it was raining and everything so i could slide a little better. I tried the superman a couple of times but i jumped before the slide, now i realize that i dont have to jump, but just slide.

Yeah, as Large Unit said, usually it will just happen. I agree, don't use your gun the first few times, you don't want to thrash something just practicing.

http://www.webdogradio.us/video/tipclip/p9.html they have 3 or so videos right on that link on how to slide and what not

bust out an old slip and slide and pratice, you can have some fun too.

i would not use a stick if i were you, maybe its just me and my new phobia with sticks but i had a stick go though my hand 2 years ago, on a non paintball related insedent, and had to get 13 stiches
