Hi @jow491 Watch again 🙂 the concept of the T (a relatively disciplined approach of the free foot to the exiting skating foot) is present. In this version that T or angle at the feet is very loose. The tight T we learned in our first Mohawk videos is essential for learning good habits as our baseline of technique. From a good clean baseline we are able to loosen or dilute our shapes as we become more able to anticipate our balance during weight transfers and so on. Once we are skating with great mastery and flow, it is usually only the Ice Dancers who retain the purest T positioning of their feet during turns, particularly during Pattern Dances and Step Sequences. The demo here, was more a generic free style that would be suitable for Figure Skaters, Free Stylers and Ice Hockey

Thank you for the explanation, it’s very helpful!

This is exactly what I was looking for, all it says on the BIS Learn to skate is “Forwards and backwards crossovers in a figure of 8”

Great request! Added to our New Year shoot schedule🙂👍🏼
