The Biggest Crossover Mistakes - Part 1

Let's fix the biggest crossover mistakes I see most roller derby (and other!) skaters making! Add some laps to your 27-in-5 laps test and feel more confident and comfortable in your crossovers. More info at www.rollerderbyathletics.com/crossover-mistakes-1

THANKS for this comment! I couldn't watch it because there was no sound (i only use my right headphone while at work.)

[@Guffyguffgt]

Ya

I’m no longer on a team but I find these tips helpful when I attempt to street skate.

[@katesheets3722]

This is so helpful! Thank you so much. It’s encouraging to know that these postures/movements are not “natural” and that it will take a lot of practice for my body to get used to being in certain positions. Thanks again!

[@thegrandsign]

This is a top notch breakdown and explanation. Thank you. I can't wait to see Part 2.

[@rollerderbyathletics]

super glad you liked it! New one is coming out ASAP!

Yesterday, our coach has us Freshies attempt the 27/5. I did 20/5 and now I see a few mistakes I made when it came to my crossovers. Definitely about to practice this! Thanks BQ

[@jellyrcw12]

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to passing my 27/5

[@johnsaporta4633]

You have nailed many of my difficulties with cross overs. And, you explain the fundamentals with brilliant clarity. Thank you!

[@silby77]

Thanks for this video! I have finally learned a crossover but want to make them nice and strong. These drills are perfect for that!

[@sarahnegrin5219]

Thank you so so much for this! I got the hang of crossovers pretty quick but I noticed by back leg was idling behind. After taking your suggestions I've managed to develop a much stronger understride!

[@1olive1olive4]

I jus lov that u have protection on! Thank u! I 'always' wear my protevtion even if practising at home.

[@1olive1olive4]

I lov that u have all ur ptotection on. Thank u I always wear mine even wen practising at home

[@jupitersorbit]

[@rollerderbyathletics]

You're welcome! Glad they're helpful to you Geneva!

[@Coco__chanelzz]

Awesome 👏 tips ☝️✌️🏋️ thanks for sharing

[@chelle5413]

Officially started Fresh Meat boot camp yesterday. I had been watching your videos and downloaded the RDA app to get me ready beforehand

[@shanah5821]

You are great.

[@notmcgins]

Still regularly making these mistakes a year and a half in :O Thanks for the helpful tips!

[@Peacefulplacewithmadiey]

How long should you practice this technique before you transfer it to on skates?

[@harpervoidhv69]

Never seen these issues

[@hadleymanmusic]

The crossunder I needed to learn.

[@hadleymanmusic]

Thankyou

[@sundusfetian9427]

Does this apply on inline skates as well?

[@1crafter2another]

Do the techniques only apply to a lower stance ( derby stance?) I've seen people doing a more casual ( taller, more straight up and down stance) at the rink. Does this taller stance just come naturally, as they are not looking for speed?

[@rubypanterra.]

👍🏿

[@randomdude2287]

Cool channel new sub

[@rollerderbyathletics]

Great to hear, thank you!

[@deltafour1212]

I have a question. Why do they wear the low top skates with a no heal rather than the traditional high top skates with heals? It would seem you would have better ankle support with high top skates

[@kayceemosely6586]

With more ankle support you get less ankle flexibility, which is needed in derby skating.

[@ertfgghhhh]

Still dont understand. U should do more footage of u skating in slow motion

[@rollerderbyathletics]

Thanks for the constructive feedback! I'll explore doing more slow motion video in the future :)
