You pretty much had to slide out of the hack, then use your gripper foot or knees to fling yourself forward and throw the stone at the same time. It was also pretty much impossible to not just grip the thing and seriously spin it while you did that.

Then the sweepers had to literally run after it. The three rocks we sat to score those points were the only ones that stayed in the house, and the vast majority didn't even make it to the opposite hockey blue line. (Although we did get it right to that "almost" point with regularity.)

Still an absolute shitload of fun. I was grouped up with some other randos and our instructor said we got the throwing motion faster/better than anybody he'd seen come through

EDIT: Here's one of my throws that I don't think cleared the midline

(I didn't lunge forward from my knees like I should have.)

The whole thing is simultaneously easier and way harder than I thought it would be. I assumed I was going to flip over and break every bone in my body as soon as I released the stone, which wasn't the case at all. Also holy poo poo I'm woefully out of shape.
