Learn to Inline Skate: Crossovers Tutorial

[@whita-db9zw]

You're seriously the best teacher in every which way! I would not be good a skating if it wasn't for you.

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

@@whita-db9zw thanks so much for the kind words!

[@BikingVikingMTB]

Hi Im a returning skater after 25years yes mid life crisis 😂 Great tutorials my ultimate goal to learn to skate backwards 👍 Also now as an adult someone teaching you makes more sense , Thank you for being a great teacher and the videos are awesome 🙏🏻

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Glad I could help! Backward skating tutorial I haven’t done on rollerblades yet, only on ice but it’s very similar.

[@rosac8168]

Me too 15 years off and starting again after back surgery

Same here. 25 years later skating with my kids now.

[@BikingVikingMTB]

@@CatzzSkatesFamily Awesome enjoy ☺️

[@monkgarza_455]

Very helpful video! I watched several tutorials but none mentioned the position of the body, so I wasn’t achieving the crossover til I watched this! Thanks!!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

You’re most welcome!

[@jessicaandtrains7768]

Another great video. My 6yo daughter Jessica just took up inline skating a few weeks ago. I got some skates to join her. I had a few goes. Didn't even realise I was turning wrong until I saw your other video. Now I've wanted to try cross overs. This will really help. Thanks

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

@@jessicaandtrains7768 you’re welcome! Glad I could help!

[@AlejandroClavijo]

Your video helped me a lot, especially when making turns. I have bought some Bauer inline and I want to learn to skate and hold a stick and your videos are helping me a lot. Thank you very much from Spain

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Glad I could help! Greetings from Germany 👋

[@JapLomm]

Thak you for the tutorial. Despite skating for a some years now I never got to do crossovers. I am still trying to perfect them but your tutorial has been the best for me to land the basic skill. The static crossing over at the begging was perfect to make me remember my cebter of gravity

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Great that I could help you out a bit!

[@TrevorWongMusic]

So glad to see another inline skate video! Please keep them coming!

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Thanks Trevor! This will be my last one for this summer. Next year again!

[@TrevorWongMusic]

@@MarcelsHockeySchool Hey Marcel, I tried the tips from this video. They were tremendously helpful. The tip about the upper torso tilt thing was quite profound as my crossovers look a lot better and feel much easier to execute. Would you say the same idea of leaning away (with your upper body) from the direction of the turn applies to skating backwards?

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

@@TrevorWongMusic Glad tip was helpful. Yes with backward crossovers I would also try to lean out.

[@robertfameandcrewskaters9491]

Thank you.....I think I have the confidence now to try crossovers

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

that's great! Good luck!

[@masculinespeaks]

This is a great tutorial. Learning the side step now. Was so fearful of face planting but its actually not that bad balancing with your knees crossed. Gunna skim the fist two videos for any good tips.

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Glad you’d liked it! I think that part 2 could definitely help you as well!

[@kieradwyer102]

This has come at a perfect time! Lockdown in Sydney means rinks are closed and I just got Marsblades! The transition from ice to inline is a little terrifying.

[@ravindarthati4095]

I just too watched it now and myself from sydeny too. Nice video, it really helps.

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

@@ravindarthati4095 glad you liked it!

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

I have marsblades too! Take about 2-3 skates to get used to but after that you’ll be fine!

[@Exoee119]

❤❤❤❤it was so cool to learn it thx so much as a son of a person who never been on any skates i still love it❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

That’s awesome!

[@chirots]

Another excellent technique and demonstration.

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Thanks a lot! Next video will be released tomorrow!

[@chirots]

@@MarcelsHockeySchool I just realised your posture and movements are quite different to those who don't play ice skating or ice hockey.

[@fisherchi]

Great lesson, thanks for sharing! Now to practice these drills.

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

You’re welcome! Have fun practicing!

[@rachaelzou5168]

Tks Coach for this useful tutorial… as weird crossing over as I used to be , now I know the upper body’s movement matters too!

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

You’re welcome! Yes, the upper body is very important!

[@iamjimfan]

The idea of centre of mass and upper body first are really helpful. Most other vids fail to mention this.

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

@@iamjimfan yeah it’s often overlooked because everybody thinks that turning is all about the legs.

[@iamjimfan]

@@MarcelsHockeySchool Definitely need to learn more from your vids. Maybe some day I can graduate to hockey!

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

@@iamjimfan I‘m sure you can! Just keep working hard!

Hola Marcel! What I like the most of this channel is that you take your time to answer all our questions 😃👍 So I'd like to know why you call It a ”semi" hockey stop? What's the difference? Thanks so much! Cheers!

[@djarcen3498]

Thank you, very informative. Please make more, I'll be practicing these drills for the next 2 weeks.

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Glad I could help! I’m switching back into the ice season soon though, so the next rollerblade video won’t be until next summer sadly.

Coach, another great video, thank you. Quick question, have you ever tried marsblades? Im tempted by them but don't know if it's worth the extra against standard inline skates.

[@paulinemsnr]

He actually did! 3 years ago I think so the video is called "Marsblade Roller Frame Review"

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Yes you are right. In German, but subtitled!

[@renga4311]

Hello Marcel.Could you tell me what exercises to do to ride on one leg .Sorry for my English this is a translator.

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Hi, I would just skate, get into a slight crouch, lift one leg and try to lift it as long as possible.

[@Will-tm5bj]

39 years old, just got my first pair of new skates since Bill Clinton was in office. Been to the rink two times with my kids and the rental quads weren't doing it for me. I'm having trouble with the right turn crossing my left leg over. Gonna be doing these drills tomorrow after work. I also didn't order a brake with my skates so I'll be doing that, I can not stop for shit🤣🤣🤣 Great video series. Thanks

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Your welcome! Glad I could help!

[@gameloozer731]

I know this is an older video but I’m curious: is my goal to step far enough in front to clear the other skate, to go high enough to clear the skate, or a bit of both? Great video :)

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Thanks! Usually because of your momentum you don’t really need to worry about stepping in front of far enough - that happens on its own. So just make sure you’re lifting high enough to cross the skate over.

[@diaryofnricom163]

Thanks for the tutorial. 54 year old skater and very beginner but can do forward and backward bubbles. I tried this today and found it impossible without some kind wall support.😢.😢

Do you have any advice for foot pain while inline skating? I am trying to learn inline skating and I constantly cannot skate for more than about 5-10 min without needing to really sit and rest my feet. just constantly getting overall foot pain on the bottom of my feet. Any recommendations

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Usually the insoles for inline skates are quite cheap and of low quality. I used to get insoles made from the orthopedist- worked wonders!

[@Sshheeyy]

I found I was pronating and also my skates were TOO tight. Loosened up the laces under the ankle and no more foot pain

[@bluejeans98]

Are the muscles in your legs purely from skating or do you do gym work as well.

I used to do a lot of gym work but now I’m so busy coaching that I don’t have the time
