What surface are you playing on? Grass, turf, or what?

I've done that before. Its not always just not being able to slide, it could be the paint.

Only way to slide is superman or a baseball slide(put legs into 'figure 4'). Don't EVER slide on 2 knees. Ever.

ok, agg does not mean aggressive. and im not going to tell you what it really means, because you know nothing, and if you have to ask, you'll never know.

thread: if you play front, get an NXe 4 pack, i have one, i must say they kick a ton of ass. also, pack a ton of balls in the pods, like, just enough so that it won't break when you close the lid and you can't hear the balls bouncing around when you move, this should help the breaks stop quite a bit

Can you...retype it clearer please? I don't know what you mean...are you saying that you want to know if you should go onto the field with paintballs in your hopper or out??? o.o confusing...

When I slide on both knees I lose my balance once I stop the momentum forces you to get screwwed up if your trying to shoot right when you get to the bunker.

Your mask is real high up coming in, your not stable to shoot, and in any case that you have to move quick you can't.

Exactly, when you slide on two knees it throws off your balance and stability so when you go to shoot you can easily be thrown forward from the momentum forcing you to waste time getting back into a good shooting position, turning your advantage of shooting while sliding into a disadvantage.Only when you use both knees though.If you do a baseball slide the right way it is a very good way to slide.

The purpose of a knee slide is to let you be as-close-to shooting position as you can going into the bunker. It's jsut a matter of lining up and firing, not fumbling to get off your belly out of a superman or arm slide. I like to knee slide directly into the (air, please) bunker to slow me down.

If you play back and have skill you can lane while running to your bunker, but shooting off the break if you play front is a bad idea...

ive seen some players slide on one knee in xball, and leave the other foot bent, but in the air, then once they get where they wanna stand they put their put up and push up with their non-sliding knee, but its hard to get timed right, and like others said, hard to balance.

sliding with you calves bent 90 degrees at you knees, and the rest of your body erect is not the right way- I slide on 2 legs all the time and it's really easy. I slide and dive pretty naturally so I just judge my slide on the wetness and texture of the flooring while i'm running or walking the field pre-game.
It's always good to just practice sliding in your back yard or roof to get better.
