Sorry if im meant to be posting this somehwere else..

a reeeally stupid question about sin bins...


so, you get sent of, you go to outside of track, and skate round to sin bin, the time starts counting down when you get there.... when it ends, how to you rejoin? do you have to leave as soon as you time is up, and skate round to catch up with the pack? or if the pack is approaching you can you wait a wee sec, then join in behind?


cheers lovely zebras

as soon as the minute is up, you can either ;

a) wait until the pack catches up and join behind them
b) skate anti-clockwise around the track out of bounds to catch the pack coming towards you, transition and then as long as you join at the back of the pack your all good.
c) you could sprint if you feel like wasting 50% of your energy

Awesome, cheers Justin

remember with b) that the opposition can hit you as your exposing a full target zone, and are not allowed to hit them.

With regards to B make sure you skate outside the track. You must renenter at the back of the pack!!!

so if you go opposite as in b), the other skater can't hit you tho cuz you're out of bounds right? i mean before you re-enter...right, i just answered my own question. nevermind!

You can not enter the track in front of the pack, so if skating towards the pack after leaving the penalty box you must not be on the track! So no one can legally hit you as you are not considered in play.

there was a LOT of this last night, skating backwards outside the track to re enter when blocked out AND taking AGES to start the pack when it was just the other jammer, so it would take them longer to start as well... interesting...and holy now i can see why transitions are SO inportrtnt to get down PAT and suicide stops.
