Thank you for this video. I grew up learning how to skate in the early 90s and I would say during that time period the term "crossover" is more aligned because that's what was being taught especially when practicing skating around the circles. You would pick your leg up and over exaggerate the cross-over of the leg. Now, when I skate circles during warm-ups, I feel how I now perform more of a cross under motion and would agree with that terminology. I've been watching videos for hours trying to see the difference, and I don't. McDavid is just super super strong on his outside edges, and I feel that is what truly sets him apart. Who sharpens his skates deserves a raise.

Hows McDiver working out for ya? He the only one in NHL that does this? 😂

How to bust your ass.

Bro it's crossover not cross under💀💀💀

👍👍

👍👍

No offense, but I believe you are confused between various different things. Lean does not make you go fast, rather lean is required to go fast around a curve, simply leaning won't do anything - this is why you will fall if you simply lean - skater has to actively turn to not fall when leaning or keep crossing over. A skater will need to generate centripetal force to go in a curved path, that force does not come from the lean, it actually is generated by legs doing to crossover as skater keeps stepping inward ( and they actually will go tangentially if they stop doing crossover or if they stop actively trying to turn with the ankles ). The reason lean is needed is so that centrifugal force won't topple over the skater. The net torque in the frame of reference of the skater should be 0. assuming the lean to be theta with the vertical ( so 0 degree means 0 lean ) mv^2/r cos ( theta ) = mg sin ( theta ) tan ( theta ) = v^2/2rg so the faster you go the more you need to lean otherwise you will be thrown out of the circle ( which will icrease r and reduce the theta ) or you will simply topple over. The net force must also be balanced ( assuming 0 acceleration ), this is very complicated equation and simply saying centrifugal force = friction force would be incorrect as edges dig into the ice, and there are other force involved.

Radim Vrbata! This was his signature move. He even did the plus one, when Luongo figured out he would go for the backhand. Great vid, as always, thank you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHyXgaCee5qSjrc

This is some great content man

Thx for the links too 🙏🔥👍

i think you need a blade change bud

I think I’m a pretty good skater

Gold

Im amazed at his power with such a tight skate gap

Nice

Bro I love how you broke it down most people would make you pay like 20 dollars for the 3 minute video good video good explaining good coaching

A piece of fabric to cover your junk is a loin cloth. Get it right.

Litterly the same shit everywhere in my nhl franchise currently working theough the 24 carreer

this helped me a lot i like how you explaining how your pointing out everything!

I was at that game, coming across from Victoria; What are the chances I'd be there for his #2 Greatest Goal ..

This really works! I benefitted from practising on the rubber mats first because, yes, my brain was telling me this would hurt my ankle. But it is, in fact, very liberating and gave me more flow on the ice. Game changer, bravo. Thank you!

Figure skaters have had this move on lock for ages. They are a great source of inspiration for skating technique.

What has happend? 4 months ago. miss your content

Click bait

He was the reason for the shootout rule change, this was old reliable if he wasnt having luck in the game.

Semantics.

People saying kane and mcdavid influence people been doing these moves long before both of them were around. I played before both those players were pro and my generation started working on our hands young and im 93 baby. If anything peter forsberg pavel bure alex mogilny. Those types were the original danglers. Datsuk. Long before kane and davo their were amazing dangles people just werent paying attention

His toes are touching the ice damn near. That’s crazy

Everyone saying Patrick Kane as if Datsyuk wasnt doing this before everyone else. The disrespect is real. Without Datsyuk, Kane wouldnt even know these moves existed.

Good skater, but that's all he has.... no defense skills will always = no cups

Thank goodness your circular motion theory is squared away !

This is a wonderful break down of a video. It’s definitely a good way to look at things, your weight is absolutely on the leg that’s crossing “under” and the lighter leg is just put into place in order to get the inside leg to where it needs to be. This makes sense as you are leading into the centerline and letting the body lead to where your weight and legs need to be. Lots of lateral strength work, Thanks 🤙🏼

Something I noticed in the clips of McDavid's shuffle is that he starts by putting his outside leg behind his inside leg before pushing out, which seems to help him extend the push. Kind of looks like a cross under in reverse if that makes sense.

Shoulders were not level

What drills did you practice and which one did you realize helped the most with your knob side outside edge? I'm a righty and I've noticed something similar, and every time I attempt a left foot (knob side) punch turn, I end up in a 10&2 position.

Well, now things start to make sense for me! I felt so akward doing big steps!!

I’m self taught skater and taught for 20+ years. 1. The hockey boot fit is critical, must match the shape of your foot. Narrow, Reg, Wide. Ideally less than 1 pencil gap in the heel. 2. Posture - Athletic stance to create proper Hip sit, knee bend and shin angle. 3. In this short video it’s hard to convey all the necessary concepts - but one important fact is ur ankles will need to Lock when stopping- I like to call it a controlled drift slide blade angle 88 degrees - centers over the ball of the foot. That is the reason for a snug fitting boot. U have to control the blade attached to your foot. In this video for other situations you will need ankle flexibility - like the freestyle ice skating- you need ankle and hip flexibility to do certain tricks

What are the benefits of doing this exercise?

This is bad advice

Great video! Thanks for sharing in an easy to understand, yet detailed style. Keep 'em coming!

I thought I sped up the video...

I just figured this out. Don’t articulate the foot it will articulate itself just apply pressure directly to the ice. Don’t even use the foot lol forget you have feet

Started rapping at the end

In Russian перебежка

This is dumb… If you don’t have good edge work, you will never be a good hockey player in the current field of NHLERS. My mites and squirt players are good only because of their edge work.

Had a really good coach tell me a long time ago that when you carry the puck backwards, it should usually be beside you. That way, if you lose it for a second, you can still reach it without stopping your skating. If you drag it or handle it in front of yourself, and you loose control for a second, it's gone. You have to stop skating and try to regain control. At high levels, that likely results in a turnover. Also, if the puck is beside you, it's always in a position to make a play.

should you ALWAYS do wide crosses when crossing linear, or should you also do some narrow crosses?

Mind Blown

This is great
