Cornering and Crossovers On Roller Skates - The Ultimate Guide To Cornering When Roller Skating

Hi Friends, as we've had to go inside this week I thought that this could be happening to lots of other skaters too. When at the rink, a major difference to outside is the abundance of walls! So, I thought it important to show you how to negotiate those corners.

Praise the camera man/ woman! The editing is on point too. Your instruction is excellent, and I'm sure it won't be long before you hit 5k, and 10k subs!

[@Skatie]

Oh wow thank you x. I shall pass the compliment on to my husband. He is the man behind the camera and the computer for editing. I get the fun bit of the skating! 😉 🛼

[@SensationallySilky]

Yo - that "arms out, turn chin, follow with shoulder" bit totally changed the game. I tried it last night and it was the best attempt to date. I have a long way to go until I'm doing more than just stepping over and actually pushing, but this video gave me hope that I will actually master it!!!!! Thank you for this video!

[@Skatie]

That’s fantastic! Well done! 😀🛼

[@littlemissmakeup87]

I struggle with these so much, ive fell afew times and its knocked my confidence its taking so long for it to click. You look so elegant Katie I love your videos xx

[@Skatie]

Thank you xx, honestly it's just that I've been skating for ever, you can get there, I know you will. Take your time and go at your own pace, practice the first stage until you're really comfortable with it. You've got this xx

[@toby9999]

This is the best tutorial I've seen. Have you mastered it yet? Crossovers become easy with practice.

[@avonee1976]

We skate counterclockwise in the USA too, except when we do what we call "Reverse Backwards," where we skate backwards clockwise. I'm coming back from a knee injury, and your tips are very helpful! I've been a skater most of my life.

[@Skatie]

Thank you so much. Glad you’re getting back after your injury. 💕🤩😎

[@VirginiaBell]

This breaks it down into baby steps that I can actually accomplish! Thank you!

[@Skatie]

I try and make it so everyone can give it a go. xx 🛼

[@toby9999]

Can you explain the purpose of arms out straight? Is it a dance/figure/artistic thing or more about learning? My passion has always been speed skating. I don't think I've ever seen a speed skater with arms out. I've never felt the need. I tend to keep arms in close.

[@Skatie]

Great question! For learning, arms out is great for balance. I agree, speed skaters keep their arms close or tucked behind, I assume this is for improved aerodynamics for more speed.

[@aekkapontetsana1847]

😃 I’ve watched many videos from your channels and I have a question about a truck adjustment. I just got my Roll-Line Variant C but I’m not sure how to adjust them. Do I have to adjust only the bottom parts? The ones near the frames are super tight. I can’t even do anything with those. Thank you : )

[@Skatie]

👋 To adjust the ‘C’ plate it’s super easy as it has the click action. You simply need to turn the lower nut only. Happy rolling 🛼

[@aekkapontetsana1847]

Thank you. I guess I did the right thing lol

[@capricornonthetube71923]

Forward crossover it's not that hard as the backward one for me.. Nice explaining btw

[@Skatie]

Thank you. I think backwards always tends to be tricky. 🛼

[@capricornonthetube71923]

@@Skatie yes it is actually 😄
