How to do Backward Crossovers on Figure Skates - Figure Skating Tutorial

[@viktoria8189]

The rink is so empty. I am envious. In here it's always packed and also random hockey lovers train next to you which is scary

[@CoachJulia]

We are fortunate here to have two year round sheets of ice. I filmed this on an adults only session, so it was nice and quiet. I get it with the hockey players, their style of skating sure doesn’t mix well with figure skating.

[@purpledawn2727]

At least you have a rink. Where I live we only have outside rinks which off course are only open in winter(usually around christmas time), and they're not maintained that well. So I only get very few skating sessions every year😭 I'm so sad about that.

[@purpledawn2727]

@@viktoria8189 "we are into hockey and figure skating, it would be strange not to have one"...? I don't get what you mean. I'm also into figure skating, but that doesn't mean that there are rinks available to me. Just because people are into figure skating(or anything else) it doesn't automatically mean that there are facilities available.

[@Elena0161]

oh man! I totally get you! in the city next to us is ice ring with public skating in winter months and its always packed! sooo many kids, so many teens playing "catch me" even adult men with kids doing stuping things... worst skating ever when grown ups with kids are skating reclessly around you, not caring if you can stop or if they don´t run under your feet... :( I always loved figure skating... but after mild winters last couple of years there is no other chance to skate, only in hockey rings inside... :(

[@Hasanahmedbaslaib]

Thanks dear Julia ☺

[@dancinglo]

I am not a teacher but I would share my experience for you to think about. I personally find cross over requires a little more speed, because of the centrifugal force of crossing will put you off balance without speed. (A bike cannot hold a lean if it has no speed.) To be able to start crossing, for a beginner, most of the time, the problem is the inner leg is not on the outside edge. So the pumping movement(drawing lemon) can easily put one to be on the inside edge. So pump but stay on outside edge on inside leg for beginner. Scoping action and change of edge will come after stability is established. And never never rotate your shoulder to square position during crossing. Keep the shoulder like she did it at the end.

[@CoachJulia]

Always glad to see people trying to help others learn the sport here.

[@anniedegrammont6491]

One thing I learned from skating is not care about what others think about your skating other wise you won’t practice as much and then you won’t get better keep going so the next time you see them you will be so much better! I don know if you still skate though because this was five months ago…🧡

[@TheLarryBrown]

I agree with the other comment. With piano you can practice in your basement until you get good, then you can blow them away at the old folks home. With ice skating, you unfortunately have to practice in full view of everyone. If you want to make any progress you have to focus on the "keep trying, keep trying" part that will eventually yield success, and ignore any self conscious feelings. If you keep practicing, you will get better.

THANK YOU so much!! I've been learning on off-ice skates, and with the help of this video, today I just was finally able to do some backward cross overs! I have been wanting to do these for forever. Thanks again!

[@CoachJulia]

Fantastic! Glad it helped.

OMGGGG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS I just started figure skating, like I just learned how to skate only a month ago but I feel like I'm too old cuz I'm 15 and all the kids around me in the rink are already doing triple toe loops or some cool moves like those!! 😭😭😭

[@CoachJulia]

Glad I could help!

[@stefaniaponitz5738]

This is so awesome. I've always wanted to learn how to do this. I'm not ready to try yet but it's great fun looking forward to it.

[@CoachJulia]

Yay! Keep practicing and I am sure you will be able to pick it up soon.

Why does it look so simple when Julia does it? She makes me acctually understand stuff and she makes everything so much simpler for me.

I love the backwards cross-over it's my fave move on the ice

[@CoachJulia]

It's a great move! It feels like flying!

[@oceans1730]

Stepwise, clear and detailed. Perfect teaching !

[@CoachJulia]

Thank You!

[@saintessa]

I'm going skating today! It's only my third time but I'm pumped as (just realised the pun) 😂 so I've been watching these, trying to visualise and remember all I can as I won't have net access. I want to learn the positions and half swizzles at least.

[@CoachJulia]

You got this! With your phone I can be your pocket coach. 😁

[@saintessa]

@@CoachJulia thanks so much 👌

[@theaxe6198]

And I love the way you fly
