Hello this is Rob Rubin and you're watching Expert Village. In this episode we are going to be talking about the slide that everybody loves to do but not many people do it very well and that is the head first slide or whatever you want to call it, the super dooper dude slide, I would use the real name for it but that's copy written so deal. When you're doing a head first slide there is one thing that you have to be very very cautious of and that is this thing right here. This is a paintball marker. You should know this by now. The paintball marker has this thing on the end of it, you should know this by now, this is an air tank. An air tank, well try to imagine all of the air in this room compressed into this little cylinder. There is a lot of power behind this tank. If you do a head first slide and you land on the tank and you crack this, this becomes a missile and before you say it will never happen to me, it has already happened to a couple of people. Alternatively you do not want to land on this. You don't want to know how many people I have seen tear up barrels. So you are going to do the head first slide. The easiest way to do that is to throw yourself forward into a slide. You don't want to launch yourself head first into a bunker, although you can do that, it's going to end up hurting you a lot more. You are basically going to fall to the ground, land on your belly and just skid.
