Viktor, as an urban skater I would say this is the best crossover tutorial on the internet. It’s the one that has helped me the most and has made the difference between stepping over my foot and actually getting some power from my crossover whilst maintaining stability. Thank you for recording this!

[@philwelch2447]

Thanks Viktor, every little bit of technique advice is priceless. So that's what "Wear your heart on your sleeve." means.

Brilliant

[@seoul30]

thank you crossover situation

[@Treesud]

I will try it, thx for the explanation that in 5 you have the wheels touching the ground all the time, without that words I never will understand what difference have with the previous.

[@thorupviktor]

I can see that! At first glance, 3, 4 and 5 can look very similar.

[@MultiHasbro]

Flawless performance, and now do it clockwise direction ..........

[@thorupviktor]

Always have done them both ways and always will ;)

[@szilardtoth8814]

Rarely asked question, rarely to be seen in practice. I'm regularly dividing my training time 50/50% to excercise both directions. It's like becoming skilled to use equally your both left and right hand when writing on paper and to perform equal quality.

[@kaiwolf1177]

sehr schön erklärt

I my from India Bro

[@allthecommonsense]

What's the difference between circles 3 & 5?

[@thorupviktor]

3: All wheels on the ground. 5: Front wheels on the ground. The goal of the 5th circle is to minimize "toe-lifting" and aim for a more compact crossover :)

[@allthecommonsense]

Viktor Thorup fascinating. I never knew this was a thing. Paradigm shift in thinking for me. I always assumed a crossover was lift, cross, set, push. Is there a short answer for why we don’t see this technique in ice short track? Oh I think I get it. This is just an exercise. In reality we do lift, cross, set, push.... but we want to minimize wasted time & energy by being compact?

[@thorupviktor]

@@allthecommonsense Spot on :) Short track skaters can seem less compact as they are able to reach further towards the center of the rink as they lean more than both inliners and long track skaters.
