Niklaus Prosper ranks hockey stops by how much snow flies

A photographer gets a front-row position as the skating scale climbs from "Baby spray" to "Big boss spray."

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 112,060 views a day, 8.2 times a normal first day on this channel (13,649).

A modest stop earns the label "Baby spray." From there, Niklaus Prosper's latest rink demonstration keeps raising the stakes, judging skaters not by how gracefully they glide, but by how much ice they throw up when they brake.

The Short drew an estimated 112,000 views in its first day, more than eight times the channel's usual Shorts start. It's a strong response to a simple visual idea: successive skaters turn the same maneuver into increasingly large clouds of snow.

Filmed at The Rink at American Dream, the sequence moves through "Junior spray" and "Senior spray" before Prosper supplies the final demonstration. His "Big boss spray" sends a large plume directly in front of a photographer. An automated voice reads the labels; there's no spoken explanation to interrupt the progression.

For a channel full of beginner lessons and warnings about dangerous rink habits, this is the showier side of stopping. Prosper has also posted a basic hockey-stop challenge and a longer tutorial on stopping without falling. Here, staying upright is only the starting point: the spray gets the grade.

The numbers

The spray-rating Short started far faster than Prosper's usual upload, even as views across the channel ran below their typical daily pace.
