Crossovers Beginner to Advanced - Forwards and Backwards - Skating Series Episode 10

Looking at mcdavids wide drives that undercut is the source of a lot of his power and acceleration.

I’m learning how to skate and have been joining in on some hockey lessons. The next thing for me is to learn the forward crossovers. This video is great and I learned more from it than during one of my private lessons. I’m going to practice the beginning steps this weekend. Not gonna go crazy. Just want to take it in easy steps and develop muscle memory.

This is a great channel.

It it the same method to learn when it comes to inline skates too, right?

This sounds dumb but what is a inside and outside foot

my feet feels numb after 15min ish. size should be right by pro shop. what can be the problem? too tight laces?

Scott Grover is the perfect name for a Canadian skating coach.

after 31 years of hockey, I had a bad knee injury, followed by a back injury. I had to be out a while, when I came back I bought new skates. Two years of frustration later, here I am trying to figure out what happened to my smooth forward crossovers, never had problems before.

Why am i constantly moving when just trying to cross my legs?? how are you perfectly still?

damn i been playing long without crossovers ,people think im a d man ,cause i skate liek a d man .no idea wtf that mean

Too scary

Bless these men.

my girl just crossed me over after watching this tutorial

Why am I watching this 😅

He sounds like PK Subban

I started playing hockey about a year ago and your videos have been absolutely instrumental to my development as a skater and as a hockey player overall!!! Thank you Coach!

The thing that helped me the most was when you practice on the ground without moving because it got me used to the feel of crossovers with my left leg, now i can do crossovers with both legs and I am now faster and open to picking up speed in both directions

SO helpful! I 'taught myself' as a newbie from watching other people doing crossovers, but I really wasn't sure what they were doing, or what the terminology was or anything about edges, so I was definitely just pushing with the outside leg and stepping over. I learned a lot of bad habits by trying to skate like good hockey players without actually understanding the mechanics..

Great advice... will get down to the ice rink n try this out.... thanks

fantastic video, thanks!

moved to canada a few months ago, too cold to play footy. signed up for a hockey team. do not know how to play hockey.

thank fuck for this channel.

I love your vids

This helped out a lot !!

Why does my inside foot slip when Turning on the outside edge?
It's really annoying me.

Could you possibly have an extra focused tutorial, helping us to achieve the undercut (push under), and explaining how our edges should be at all times during these exercises (including the stationary crossovers). I like minutely detailed explanations of how to position everything - body position, angles of the feet as they make contact with or leave the ice, and which edges should be used when and where - so that I can get it exactly right. Thank you!

I feel like I‘m doing the undercut automatically when I do a forward crossover with bit more speed (only turning left forward for now)

First time ice skating for me with hockey skates at the ice castle in cathedral City CA. I fell 4 times but I got the hang of it pretty quick. Ive been rollerblading so I guess that helped a bit.

A Jeramy can you pleas do a vid how to put on lizard skin on because I just got some lizard skin and I’m not sure how to put it on and also do a hockey spontaneous challenges do bring your skates

I practiced 2 hrs on the ice today and did exactly what was told in the video and now I can do crossovers. Twice as fast, it feels like flying. So stoked. Awesome video!

its really really hard to learn outside edge but thank you anyway i'll keep trying.

can you teach my dog to poop on time

Coach Jeremy, where did you get those winwell gloves? I have a leather pair from 95 and want to replace them

Wrong, wrong wrong. From beginning to the end.
First of all, you don't teach in sweat pants but in full gear because the player whom you teach will relate much better to what you trying to teach him. Also the things you can do in sweat pants are much easier to do. With the gear on, the entire complexion changes as it changes center of gravity.
Second, it's all very static and very, very boring.
Teaching crossovers while stationary is completely wrong because in real life, the entire body angle changes and upper body position and movement is actually what enables proper leg movement. Again - the feel of cutting into the ice with blade, the centrifugal force of the body as it has to counter pull outside of the lane of intended travel, this all (and many other details) changes drastically. No amount of stationary exercise can prepare a skater for what actually happens in real situation. Been there, done that.

This video, along with so many other videos that are nothing but boring and not useful at all, is total nonsense. I guarantee you that whoever is your pupil will be bored to death and he will progress very slowly.
There is a different way of doing this. The learning curve shortens three, four times fold, all the while the skater is actually challenged to his limits, feels the excitement of learning and what's most important, he feels his progress each time on the ice.

But hey, you are free to keep doing what you doing. Obviously, you believe in this outdated and highly flawed learning and coaching style. To the older guy on video: drop some of your extra weight. I have never seen a good skater who is fat.

I understand this is old way of teaching. But it is highly ineffective.

Dude thanks I forgot if it was toe or heel been doing rollerblading too long and I'm not good switching between the two

He said. And you keep going. Me: lol xD

Love all your training videos. Great job.

am i the only one that gets stuck on the outside edge on my inside foot and starts to slide and fall

Great tips. Don't overlook the upper body and science. Turn upper body into the circle (or keep shoulders on the circle) to offset the centrifugal force.

Thank you for this video! I'm a returning skater and I'm having a bit of a hard time.

I am learning hockey!

My skating coach's name is Bob.

You explained this so much better than my teacher, thank you!!

Thanks for making these Video's Jeremy and Scott! Thank you Thank you.. Hockey newb here, trying to get into it at 34 years old.. :/

AMAAAZING video series dude! Love what you guys are doing. SUBBED!!!

thank you for teaching me now I know how to be good at hockey games I have practice on Thursdays and Tuesdays my games started very two weeks I'm only 9 years old and I know how to spell long words 👍

This vido help me a lot. After watching and pratising i'm now almost in NHL.

Just a tip, i haven't been able to even come close to getting crossovers done until today. I had someone teach me and he said one thing that sealed it for me. He said get lower. Basically i didn't a good knee bend and i was too upright which caused me to lose my balance every time. As soon as i got lower it was so easy.

I need some good advice. I live in Arizona with one ice rink (10 miles away). i go practice there thursdays and saturdays. I want to practice with skates but im scared to go for publuc skates cause you cant bring hockey gear there. I cant practice right now because it is a 100 degrees outside no joke. PLz help with what should i do?
