Watching a lot of skating videos recently, gotta say, you have some quality lessons. Also, your energy and vibe is great. More videos! Keep going!

[@stevemcgowan3017]

Hi Shaun I can do push push but not touch touch crossovers inline my old ankles ache bit been window cleaner 40years I can do few crossovers actually backwards better than forwards my one leg glide better when cruising like bill says practice staaaay looooow 😂any exercises can help u think thanks Shaun great videos 😊Steve U.K. ps can do toe rolls like Asha U.K. says

[@romandegtiarev]

Gosh I want Shaun to be my teacher! Very good explanation! Really grateful to have this videos

[@lancelotkillz]

He's already our teacher

[@TheGymHellYeah]

Take one, uncut, on point. Excellent teaching

[@TheMrHardpunk]

Thanks for the timely lesson on crossovers. And thank you for the Namaste T-shirt and flow beanie that my partner got from you for my birthday, I’m wearing it with pride here in Glasgow, Scotland. Namaste 🙏🏼

[@360.Tapestry]

just got a pair of skates this week after two decades of not skating. honestly, nailing this would fix so many issues i have lol

[@tubescream]

Loved this step-by-step explanation both of what is happening during the crossover and of how to practice it progressively! It's an amazing feeling when those crossovers begin to feel natural.

[@balkicroatia]

Thank you! Greetings from Croatia from 51's old beginner;-)

[@theshepherd6930]

A week ago I could not crossover in the grass, I fell without moving ! Yesterday I was back on my big wheels skates after some visits to the skatepark, and I instantly made my first crossovers without trying ! Crazy how it just came to me with general practice ! And you are right, it is a LOT of fun ! Can't wait to backward crossover, hockey stop and all... My cool blading journey is only beginning !

[@tri4n]

Wow! @13:00 you went sideways up the stairs. 🤯 Never seen that before. Cool!

[@Oreoleoo]

Boy I love the way you break this down SO. MUCH. Maybe there's hope for my right crossovers yet.

[@PalkasAd]

I am so glad that, you two did this video. At the moment I train crossovers. The half of my sessions are skating for fun and the other is train some new stuff. Now I at something to my training list. Thanks for this amazing video and please keep up the great work, you both are great inspirations.

[@mktbaby]

thanks for these tutorials! it’s really huge boon to someone trying to get back into in-line skating as an adult after never learning proper technique as a child

[@freethinker3083]

Same!! I had to re-learn how to turn properly with my leading foot and spin again!

[@antoniofaedo6888]

Genius! I don't speak English, but I understand you perfectly! Your way of explaining the exercises is the best I've found on KZbin. Hugs from Uruguay!

[@photomorti]

Another awesome tutorial thank you! Im working on backwards crossovers but its a whole differend beast its so difficult for me

[@CraftyCuriosity]

I love these breakdowns

[@Iced929]

Loved this, thank you!

[@WheelyArt]

Thanks Shaun,great lesson,love the stairs tip too.

[@kantstenchonthemel5641]

Video is so good that even sitting in front of my computer I have the feeling I 'm able to do crossovers!

[@IanOcampoPodRider2016]

amazing lessons, thank you

[@MichaelAP8p]

Your videos are awesome! Thanks!

[@danielnunezgarcia9913]

Amazing!! Thanks

[@Traumadelta]

Man you are awesome!! Tx for that kind of material!!

[@user-cf9tm8xv7f]

Thank you very much. I am a simple guy from eastern Europe who is trying to correct his mistakes and at the same time teach his wife, for all these lessons that you have on the channel. my English is bad. But I was able to understand everything you were talking about. This applies not only to Crossover, but also to Ride stairs, 360, balancing, etc.

[@di._.5191]

Thank u very much for lessons!💕

[@jconline7204]

Thx a lot Flow Skate Team ! 😉

[@leonardotorcello4642]

Amazing!! I look forward to the backward crossover tutorial soon!

[@romanrichter4404]

Nice place to practice!!

[@fabilone]

Very very good! Thanks!

[@gurudesaingrafis]

Very good explanation! Really grateful

[@rey-ke5ls]

Great teacher💪🏼

[@jankfroyen]

Brilliant teaching👍

[@hondaloppa901]

Very useful😊 Thank you☀️👏

[@nonacrochet677]

Thank you for this amazing session 😍

[@j.b.denoruega4954]

Informative! Thanks!

[@AmandaabnamA]

Great to see. I'm only 5'4" on 4x90 and crossing over with these wheels is a task

[@remyhendrikse6450]

Agree, I do only crossover after the apex of the corner because 4x90 creates more speed and need more space. On 4x80 I can start the crossover earlier, the speed gained and the space needed will be less.

[@natewheeler8195]

What a great teacher he is, very calm and confident.

[@youfakou]

You're an excellent teacher

[@gregoireknipper3411]

great and easy explainations :) !!! Cheers budy

[@leoparedesphotography1719]

Thank you thank you thank you! I've been trying to teach my kids how to do the crossovers the last few weeks and these exercises nail it! Can't wait to take them to the rink next Saturday! Thanks Sean and Alex! (Please backwards crossovers soon! 🙏)

[@KarueVT]

I appreciate this video so much. Thanks so much!

[@williechien8103]

good learning from you, Shaun. Very clear explanation

[@angelinataylor6424]

I have learned so much from you! You are sooooo wonderful!

[@igorgoga7985]

spectacular

[@NATOnova]

More in depth lesson videos like this would be awesome. Really helpful

[@naxete85]

THANKS for sharing this lesson..you are the best!

[@jorgeduarte5233]

you're awesome, it helps me a lot to learn on my own! 🤙🤙🤙

[@Jason_P]

This is fantastic content. Looking forward to learning the crossover this way!!

[@dewworld8516]

I really look forward to this day, God bless you and Alex

[@karenhodges4933]

I really feel like I comprehended what you were teaching. Thank you for being so thorough!

[@BuDu-ms2qe]

Just watched your backwards video and now this beauty drops! Got my frx80's on waiting list at Thuro Boston and been getting back up to speed on my ice skates. I'm psyched for this spring/summer 2022!

[@wza360]

Absolutely awesome. It’s cool you also mentioned Stoppard - I noticed but didn’t realised how he actually used cross overs in speeding up. Brilliant.

[@Samutzz]

Thank you for your great explanation and understanding. I thought I already had learned cross overs from watching other tutorials until you explained the speed skating reference and sprints. I'll definitely try these out.

[@NiloLeite]

I've been watching several videos to try to improve my skating (I'm a beginner, I practically only go forward comfortably), all the videos I've seen so far, in Portuguese (my native language) or even in English, haven't helped me much. I try to get some tips from more advanced friends too, but they do little to help someone who is rusty like me (I'm starting to learn at the age of 44, after a life of sedentary lifestyle). I have to say that I have never seen anyone with teaching as simple, but as good as yours. After watching some of your videos, I was able to do some workouts and do things that I thought I would never be able to do. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge in such a clear and educational way.

[@soundofwlad]

🇨🇵 merci pour ta patience 🙏

[@ilonabrandt-tom454]

You are a great coach...I am a beginner skater. I relate to your teaching style.

[@SkaegSkater]

Shaun you are such an excellent teacher. Thank you for these videos. I really have been working on my weak side cross overs lately and this helped a ton breaking it all down.

[@mel.map94]

WOW this is the best tutorial I’ve seen on crossovers! Thank you! 👏

[@soulfulgalaxy]

The best explanation ever ❤❤

[@chatsu5441]

Very good and magnetic teacher, thank you many times

[@jrbmwpower]

Fantastic ! Brasil love you !

[@kristynahelgetova8061]

This is really nice lesson! And I saw a few recently. I like it! I like it!

[@kamedatec]

Boooom ! Going now downstairs i need it ! Thanks guys from Zhuhai China

[@joyflg1rl]

Your teaching is so amazing. I’m so grateful every time I watch one of your instructional videos. Thank you so much for all you share.

[@ajaznawaz37]

Been fascinated with roller blading for very very long time indeed. now touching 54 I have ordered frx’s should be here tomorrow. Your videos are a blessing for me and I can’t wait to get rollerblading.

[@alex_ma1ex]

This is the best video on cross overs, with so many progressions! I'm gonna try them asap and hopefully improve this very fun - but tricky for me - move!

[@fifoffjfufs]

thanks for this! i like your tutorials. they're very beginner friendly the way you explain the drills + progression + being very specific about which edges to be on and such.

[@dewworld8516]

Thank you Shawn, am from Ghana and thank you for these videos..I want to be a great skater and skate with you and Alex one day

[@tierraweatherspoon3419]

Thanks so much for this video. 🥰 Im not even an inline skater. I was desperately trying to learn crossover technique on quads and no quads skater’s explanation was helping me but then I came across your video! Your inline technique helped me learn crossover on quads within 1 hour of practicing 🥰. Your breakdown and visual was simple and didn’t give me a migraine. You’ve got a fan for life!

[@cucuzoo]

eres inspirador! comunicas ganas de salir a patinar! gracias por tus videos!!!

[@gimenezmax]

Thanks a lot. Your explanation is perfect. Thanks. Marcos, from Buenos Aires Argentina.

[@tatianamoore3138]

Thank you so very much! Awesome lesson!!!! You are the best teacher!!! 💖🙏💖💫💖👍💖👌💖😻🤩

[@BetterJavi]

WOW all your lessons are amazing!!! you really figured out how to start with super basic exercises. That's a great skill I've seen in all your videos.

[@twistfire74]

Hey Shawn, massive fan.You are a brilliant instructor compared anyone ive seen online I just bought a pair of SEBA High Light skates at ShopTask In Toronto . Im just getting into inline skating from ice. Im learning a lot from your videos. I wish you had more beginner videos. Like on parallel skating or carving. Im going to order a FlowSkate sweater and t shirt son. Namaste!

[@dathofilms]

best teacher on youtube

[@cyy3793]

May I add something to your great video, that bending the knees adequately is the secret behind good crossovers. I notice many make the mistake of trying to do crossovers with inadequate knee flexion, and the stuff in between the groin gets squashed in the process😅

[@captainbungee]

Thank you so much. I've just about got this on my third practice session leading with my strong leg. Weak leg is playing catchup but I'm optimistic...

[@ilonabrandt-tom454]

I am a skier who has taken up skating to keep my feet active and balance. The language you use for edges, corresponding edge angles, angulation of hips etc is similar to skiing. Cant wait to try the front crossover today.

[@MentoringBA]

excellemt - i think i have found what i am looking for - struggled with cross overs for a long time and i know what i have been doing wrong

[@trev815]

Me and my daughter love your videos they have helped us a lot !! We are trying to get to grips going backwards and the transition if you have any tips 😂

[@stevemcgowan3017]

Hi.I recently transferred from quads to inlines.I used to roller skate in 70s.I’m 60 now and find haven’t got strength I had as been window cleaner nearly 40 years.I just started doing crossovers again on quads.I tend to drag feet a bit .your practice for inlines looks worth trying.you do need stronger ankles for inlines I find.thanks for videos your a pleasure to watch 😊

[@CatzzSkatesFamily]

I performed my first cross over tonight. It’s the fear of falling that prevents me from trying. You mentioned an important point. The one knee needs to be bended outward slightly to make it easier to cross.

[@candyCLP3051]

Love your videos very easy to follow. Love your sweatshirt we’re can I purchase it

[@brian-lz6wb]

First, Nice video! the crossover is an essential

[@dave_skating]

I wanted to see you do a Downtown 🎶!

[@nagbitch]

I’m doing my best of inline skating I rollerblade really well at the skating rink.

[@onurkarakaya5640]

you are so funny bro, and perfect teacher, namaste :)

[@stevemcgowan3017]

Need to try that move I’m starting to do forward crossover but feel bit awkward still.try to keep knee bent I can actually do backwards crossovers better.I do toe rolls ok like asha says.I’m getting there it s because I have 40 years window cleaning behind me I’m a bit creaky. But getting there .that thing where you bring one leg into other round corners I found tricky I have got a weaker right ankle as I pulled it a bit when trying forward crossover too early when I went from roller to in-line skates this summer .thanks for great videos .Steve in uk.have u had the very cold weather where you are ?

[@NimbleX-MC]

I really really miss your videos

[@ZEK3Y3]

can you do a video on how to properly turn, I had a hard time turning and usually my opposite foot is in the front instead.

[@SkilfulSkatingLessons]

🤩 wow got perfect teacher

[@devipellegrini1172]

Ma quanto sei bravo a pattinare e a spiegare le figure. Ti faccio una richiesta......puoi spiegare anche il back crossover?? Grazie e bravissimo !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevemcgowan3017]

ive had a go this morning in undercover car park i go .i can do pushes around in circle but not easy to touch my other inside foot yet.keep practising 😀

[@stevemcgowan3017]

[@arielpuig7302]

Hey Shawn, can you make a video talking about the 12 wheels frame specs and what makes the frame so special. If you did that already post the link. I couldn't find it.

[@igorgoga7985]

Can you pls make a wizard version of the forward to back transition at moderate to higher speed

[@garrettsmith8286]

Going on almost 30 yrs away from inline skates and looking at getting a new pair this week I must say you're one of my favorite people to watch. The way you skate is inspiring. Much Love to everyone making these videos happen. 🙏🏼 Now I have to pick between Rollerblade Cruiser vs Power slide Next 80 size 47 I'm leaning towards the Next with a longer frame that can take 90s.

[@bossinpajamas]

can you do a video like this for a roller skates please?

[@jsartattack7353]

Could you possibly do a video on backwards crossovers?

[@kokoa2899]

Is the material and size wheel that wizard skating uses the same as a regular wheel 80/76mm? I'm having trouble doing loop on your YT tutorial tame the Lion

[@geshantiatkins9496]

can you do a backward crossover lession as well?

[@nikilk]

Great lessons. You remind me of an Indian sage on Skates. Did you grow that beard to give you some natural cushioning for the chin ? I ask coz I recently had a chin banger on Ice and I look like I got a mini Johnny Bravo chin going on atm 😅
