Key Tips to Gorgeous Forward Crossovers

its interesting. when you watch NHL players race to set fastest lap you can see them implementing almost none of this, and they look completely different. This looks like hockey techniques explained by a speed skater. I realize Sean played in the show, maybe i just need to watch more of these videos to see the big picture. Maybe these exaggerated movements are in order to build a foundation.

I could picture me breaking my knees as I attempt this on the ice-ring. 🙂

Some sexy crossovers

He has so much control that looks like that he’s not even in the ice

Blue pink red yellow green probably the people to stay away from

What arena are these videos made in ??? Looks familiar, but so many are similar.

Зачем лишние движения ногами назад? Сразу после толчка ногу переставляй, время и силы сэкономишь.

No one actually crosses over, like you show at the beginning.

My dream sport is hockey, but im 16 now and as a kid my mom didnt let me play cause she thought it was too dangerous for a girl or whatever and im scared its too late to start : (

High quality videos

Как без твоих советов играл Крутов!

This guy is amazing!!

PLEASE DO NOT RELY ON HIM TO TEACH YOU HOW TO SKATE. "ALMOST WANT TO BOB YOUR HEAD UP AND DOWN"....THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO NOT WANT....YOUR INSIDE LEG SHOULD ALWAYS BE BENT....AND YOUR FOOT CROSSING OVER SHOULD BE LEAD W THE TOE NOT W THE HEEL AS HE DEMONSTRATED....

i COULD GO ON ....BUT THE BELLY BUTTON TO YOUR THIGH COMMENT...HOLY SHIT....DO YOU COME UP W THIS SHIT YOURSELF? IF YOU ACTUALLY DO THAT THEN YOUR CHEST IS WAY TOO FORWARD AND i WOULD BE ABLE TO KNOCK YOU DOWN W A SLIGHT PUSH....ITS ALL ABOUT BALANCE....THIS IS NOT IT i ASSURE YOU.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE HOW THE BEST TEAMS IN THE NHL LEARN THEN SEARCH PAUL VINCENT OR PVPOWER. YOU ARE WELCOME....

Love your videos - good stuff!

Good video except the tip on leaning into the turn. I've always learned in skating and in skiing to maintain better balance your upper body leans slightly away from the turn to the outside. This helps your center of gravity and balance immensely.

A bit of a noob question, but when you are performing crossovers, what part of the blade should you be putting your weight? Toe? Heel? Or even over the entire blade?

Ive been struggling so hard to go left. Can go right very fast but left ugh

To figure skaters: if you’d learn crossovers, this tutorial might be a good resource for y’all to gain speed and lift your free leg. However, in figure skating the “hard tapping” of the lifting foot onto the ice should be avoided. Speed and turns are not the only thing that matters: the figures are.

"pretty forward crossovers"

I find myself falling onto the side of my boot.

Thank you so much this really help I might get scouted for a hockey team now

Thank you for this!

Great video, good explanation. Thank you!

it makes you dizzy just watching that video....

Get it together Lisa.

Excellent going to try this out

Thank you so much! Helps ALOT!

I'm dizzy

My inside foot buckles during the crossover is it due to loos skates.

Why am I always stopping and scratching the ice with my inner leg? I cannot make it glide

I love how passionate you are about this that you're genuinely out of breath

The pleasure of seeing the aesthetics of ice hockey skating are only equal to the pleasure of skating. It just looks so freakin cool.

If it were only that easy

Sorry, you are not bobbing when you demonstrate your crossover.

I have those skate..the 1S....love 'em

I mean, this is awesome instruction, but how about the camera work?! Nice work!

Thank you ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

this is too good.

If you are new to crossing over: Start with just moving your crossing foot in front of your behind skate, not all the way across, especially with your weaker foot. When I started, I lost my balance and fell multiple times because of my stronger foot losing balance behind my crossing foot that went across the whole way. Just start with half-crosses

Where do you focus your eyes? I'm just starting my crossovers and the "center point" of my turn drifts away and I can't look at the dot in the circle without losing my balance. I've thought about looking off at some point way in the distance behind me as my goal destination for where to go after the turn. Any suggestions?

Great explanation. The upright leg only crossover isn't necessarily wrong, it's just more suited to leisure and figure skating. Sean's version is much more appropriate for sports.

the key is sharp skates

The guy filming is skating faster going backwards.

I dont think I have the ankle strength for this. There's no hope

I know for a fact the camera man got dizzy filming this 💫😵🥴

how do you show vividly, god

Sean, love your videos , I realy like how you break down all kind of skeating in parts to finally put it all together to a perfect combination to fly down the ice! Would love to have you over and show our kids, to bad we live on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean! Keep up the good work!
