Crossovers in 3 Minutes | Tutorial

[@josephsylva3970]

One of the best tutorials I have seen on crossovers! Thank you

[@chrizz4285]

Nice video! Good to mention the thing with the bad side. I really bad on the opposite side.

[@who_askednobodyasked6909]

i learnt these on my own by complete accident 😭 i tried to sharp turn, and i put my right skate over my left skate and then pushed off and was like “did i just do a crossover” EDIT: i play hockey now

2:54: That’s where beginners will take a dive. 😮

LOL I broke my arm practicing crossovers 4 weeks ago now!

As someone who's trying to gain the confidence to try, this is not helpful 😂

Ok so💀 keep that to yourself now I’m scared to try it

[@valentine5062]

@@_metalhead 4 months later and my arm is almost good. I plan to be back on the ice soon.😆

[@rinzler9775]

How did you do that ? Hit the fence ?

[@moinmoin-sm3zg]

Gutes Video👍

Danke😁

What's better: small step crossover or big - longer - steps?

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

Whatever feels better for you. Hockey players should go for small ones, speedskaters for long ones

[@ZlyBobo]

I' d say master quick steps coz it will help you manover betweet medicore skaters like a pro. Long steps are classy tho!

[@lightningmccream1397]

"and it was very hard for me to do it to the right side.", That's where I'm at right now :( I learnt how to do it to the left from your tutorial, but the other side is just so hard! I do feel like I'm getting closer though.

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

Keep on working and you will do it. This is a process that might take some time

[@ลูกลิง3ตัว]

Thankyou

I don't know how to practice my weak side, our rink is always packed, you have no chance of going into the other direction without endangering everyone 😂 I don't even know how you get to film on an almost empty rink like this. We only have one rink within the next 70km so everyone goes there!

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

To answer both questions with one sentence: In the off season rinks are not that crowded😉

[@kylesharp234]

Good luck trying to do this in Melbourne, Australia 🙃

[@Elysium.4D]

I broke both of my arms trying this yesterday

[@DenisMorissetteJFK]

How are you able to write this? 😮

I have a question regarding the amount of leaning when doing crossovers. I can do crossovers, maybe not the best ones, but they work. . But i feel like i lean in way less than the people i see doing crossovers usually are. As in my skates stay pretty straight horizontaly and i‘m just focusing on being on the outside edge and not about leaning into the curve that much. Is this a problem and should i work on leaning my skates alot more towards the ice or is this okay?

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

Leaning also depends on the speed. More speed - more leaning

[@SK-ow4vw]

My advice to you is to stay on one foot as long as possible. I mean try to stay on one foot for at least four seconds. And cross over very very slowly. In this way you easily find your weak point (which is mostly body position). When you do any movements try to do them extremely slowly and exaggerated.

[@joopiepookie]

I've been trying to these on rentals since I'm still waiting to get my new T-Blades. And i only really got into Ice skating this season. Is it a problem of the blades sharpness that when i try to go from inside to outside edge while I'm moving, that I'm literally just sliding away to the sides on the foot I'm trying to switch inside to outside from

[@joopiepookie]

I'm also able to skate quite well. I can go quite fast and braking is also not much of a problem. So I'm just wondering if the sharpness just works for those things but is just too dull for crossovers. Since i don't remember when i ever had actual sharp as in sharp on rentals

[@AlpineIceFreestyle]

Can be a issue of the sharpness but also a lack of tension in your ankles

[@joopiepookie]

Thanks for the answer. Fault actually was the skates, haha. First tried T-Blades 3 days ago after getting them and i was able to do Crossovers after 5 minutes. 😂

[@joopiepookie]

The proper fitting boot probably helped alot too in terms of stability however

[@rafaelnaeyaert1887]

Crossovers arent that hard... i did it first try never learned ice skating before... first time on the ice and i was already good enough the braking is a different story tho 😂
