Hey Brother- I appreciate you doing this video. I am 46 and trying to learn to skate again for a geezer league, and this was fantastic. please keep up the good work!

Thank you for the kind words and for watching. I hope you'll subscribe and share them.

I live in the Southern US, where most of us grow up roller skating. I used to play roller derby and got frustrated the first time I tried ice skating (in my mid-30s) and quickly realized how different it is! You have a real gift for breaking down the steps and dynamics of these skills. Thanks so much.

well I've been doing my crossovers improperly... fantastic!

The detail in your videos is incredible, everything is so helpful and just thank you for doing what you do!!

Thank you very much for watching.

Thank you so much for this detailed video!! I am in the process of learning with an instructor but the details you provide will definitely help me think about my positioning, etc. Excellent video!!!

@iDHKing Thank you so much for your support! :) Really glad to hear your improving.

Thank you very much for watching, I hope you don't mind sharing my videos with others? I also hope you'll subscribe. Thanks again.

The best/clear explanation by far among the videos I have seen! Even though I have watched so many video regarding forwards crossover I was still baffled. After watching yours, I can at least understand how it works and should be done, making me confident enough to try this skill by myself in an ice rink in my town (NJ, USA). Thanks!

Thanks you for watching. I hope you'll subscribe, we have tones more videos on skating.

Only just realised, I was at the rink the day Chris was filmed. I was wondering why a guy was on there with a camera XD

No problem, thanks for watching.

Your videos are most helpful. Thank you for making these.

There are a few drills that you can practice, I can explain them in detail on the forum page at hockeytutorial. com if you post a questions in the forum asking for more detail. You could also subscribe to my channel as I'll have a video on that subject coming out after xmas and new year. The video will hopefully have all the tips you need to learn the crossovers on your weak side. How does that sound?

Visit our website, there is a link to the online store where you can pick one up. Thanks for watching.

I'm 43 and learning to skate. The video is clear and easy to understand. (WA State USA)

Your videos are so helpful! I'm 14 living in North Carolina (not really a big hockey state, which is good for me because I suck right now), and I suck at skating. These videos are helping so much! thank you!

This helped me a lot! Thank you!

You're an amazing teacher. I like the way you've explained this whole cross-over thing which I have been struggling for months now. Thank you sooo much!!

I am absolutely enthralled as to the learning process! Love the sport, and thanks for the amazing help!!!!! With your amazing teaching I felt confident to join a Hockey clinic at 31! Thank you!! -Chris from Philadelphia PA. USA

Maybe next Monday record a new tutorials, join on the Facebook page to stay in touch. The link is in the vid description.

thanks im pretty new to hockey started 4 weeks ago and not a strong skater so this help a lot thanks

This video was great! I'm new to skating and this video was what finally taught me to crossover after struggling for ages. Thank you!

This is so helpful thank you so much ! The only thing I need to do is learn crossovers in ringette.

I first watched this video when I started hockey four years ago and here I am now 🤗

Some great tips there for me to try. Thanks for you're help. Rob:)

Try to practice leaning on your left skate against the boards, slowly put more and more weight on it while holding on to the sides. Work on getting your inside skate use to having weight on it while its leaning on the outside edge (like your turning or crossing over). Also most sure your laces arent too tight

I have Shared & Subscribed, Keep on sharing your Skills, Thanks... Rob

I have recently got back into skating (Ice and inline) after having a bad ligament injury that has taken me years to recover from, I now feel confident enough to go out skating again. As I teenager I used to use aggressive skates, now I'm older I have seen the light and it's all about hockey. The one thing I'm finding hard are crossovers, every time I try and crossover I feel like I'm going to fall and injure myself again, Is there anything you would recommend for adding that extra bit of confidence?

can you make a video on exercises to improve balance on ice

Thanks for the video man!! Big help

Thank you :) That's what one of my friends said as well. When will you be at Chelsmford Ice And Leisure again?

Really good tutorials thanks

This is such clear video!

Hello thanks for the video.I would like to know one thing. My dominant (stronger) leg is the right left but when I am on skates I can crossover only anti clockwise so right leg over the left but doing it in the opposite way (clockwise) is very hard for me. The same with the stopping I can stop very well with right skate in front but with left leg I am not able to this. Do you have any drills how ti improve the "left (weaker) leg performance" ? :) Thanks

Be sure to keep your knees slightly bent and remember to start off with your skates shoulder width apart. its all about developing the balance to do this with confidence. practice the crossover motion off the ice (it helps believe it or not)... remember chest square to the ice and head up (helps control your weight and centre of gravity).

i need help, whenever i try to do crossovers i feel like im gonna fall, i know thats normal and you have to trust your blades but its hard haha, any advise??

Why is it bad to dip the shoulders when doing forward crossovers? I'm a beginner and today i was told to do precisely that in order to get the feel of shifting my weight and really trust the edges in my skates

I just started learning how to ice skate from a friend of mine that plays ice hockey. He says I skate very well for a person that just started tonight and tried to get me to do crossovers. I could never get myself to have the courage to balance on one foot and just crossover the other foot because I was staring at my feet. I was also wondering if I couldn't do it because I wasn't skating at a pace fast enough to attempt it. Do you have any advices on just having enough courage to try it out?

Hiii just here to ask if you could make a tutorial on the heel penguin please!

This helped me so much !

Great vid, the slow mo helped a lot.

Really helpful thanks!!

Thanks for that video! Cheers.

What a charmer you are

I can remember when doing this was like breaking rock, I'm mastered it, couldn't get any better at it now

Your more than welcome

I can listen to you all day

Hey question iv been roller blading for a while I can do crossovers forward going left and right and can crossover to go round role in a cycle is it the same technique on ice ?

Did you take the link for the review down? I'm starting lessons there soon so I was interested to see it.

Really helped thanks do much

Crossovers are easily one of the most important components of skating

Hi! I've been learning cross overs for a few weeks now and I keep having the problem where my inner skate is very shaky when I put my weight on my left skate in a left turn and would often cause me to fall on my side. My current solution is to put my left hand out in a low, forward position to balance myself but I have a feeling its more to do with my feet and usage of the blade than my balancing. Do you have any tips to how I can eliminate the shaky inner skate?(my laces are tight). Many thanks

Thank you so much

Thanks for the video. Im going to practice this next time i go skating

sounds great.

This guy is amazing made skating so easy for me

Which skates model is it at the end of the video?

Great cheers

When I go really fast when I cross over, I notice I don't even lift my foot anymore, it kinda just slides into position, when I do slow crossovers I have to lift my foot.

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

what sucks for me is the fact that i played soccer for 8 years and when i first started hockey, my right foot would be dominate and therefore could only do forward right crossovers (right over left) and not the other way around. Is there any way to train myself into doing the left crossovers?

thxx!

Me again... Whene I crossover, my left leg slips out of place (I lift my right leg over my left leg) it's not becuase they aren't sharp enough as they feel really and I haven't been using all that much since my last sharpening. I took in mind all your tips. So what is the problem there?

thanks

Anybody know if I could practice crossover technique/movements at home wearing skates with the hard guard covers on?

Can anyone help me because I’m scared to try this as I am a 12 year old and I’m worried when I crossover the right foot going left I might clip my left skate can anyone tell me if this happens a lot trying to learn it

Thanks :D

Just wondering if you have any tips for someone who really struggles doing this in the opposite direction? I can do this easily skating anti clockwise on the rink but struggle doing it the other way.

Is a bad idea to practise this (or anything new) at a public skate session?

Can anyone help me... I can crossover but sometimes I loose balance and start flapping my arms? I think it's because I don't lean to the side that I want to turn in? Is that correct?

thx

Chris can you sell me one of your hockey tutorial hoodies. How much would you sell one for and where could I get one cheers

I wish I could do well in ICe skating

Is that ice Sheffield

I skate their

Why is placing the foot in front of the other not a good technique? I see it a lot and seems to generate good speed as well. Is there another term for this action such as frontovers or something

Do them both ways & them wheel that puck ☺

Do you still skate?

I've ben skating for 2 years, intermediate here, and damn it idk why I find it so hard to cross over, when I'm going fast and have to cross over i feel like I've been skating for a week instead of two years, but I've barely practiced it that's the problem I guess.

4:26

My left crossover is so uncomfortable

What is the point of crossovers

Don't put so much thought into it just do it is what I tell people I fortunately was able to do it with out being taught

sound real cold hahah

im 14 i have a hockey game in 2 days. and now im learning how to crossover??? LOL

Pk suban lol

very interesting but to me the title is a bit misleading as it doenst apply to figure skating but only to Hockey skating !

Basic skill?! Then I am slime level at ice skating haha

I am so bad at ice skating I can go fast and that's it 😥

Why do many people like to skate like this?

kinda weird to see a black british guy teaching me skating tututprials

thanks
