Niklaus Prosper's compilation starts with a spray of ice over rink-side onlookers, but one of its smaller movements is catching viewers' attention: a skater balancing backward on the front of the blades for an inward toe stop.
One commenter picks out that maneuver specifically. Others describe the gap between imagining themselves doing these moves and trusting their bodies to cooperate. It's a fitting response to a Short billed as "Seven of the hardest stops on ice," where stopping can involve a leap, a slide or crossed legs.
Posted eight days ago, the compilation added about 67,000 views in a day, more than half its total so far. That's roughly eleven times its usual daily pace, even while views across Prosper's channel are a little below their typical level.
The New York-based ice freestyler also has a more approachable entry point among his new uploads: "Learn how to do a hockey stop on ice #hockey #iceskating #skating #skate #figureskating." The showcase supplies the elaborate variations; the newer tutorial focuses on the familiar sideways stop.
