I started learning the c cuts, but after sometime, my c cuts eventually evolve to the corkscrew method naturally, it feels better and more controlled, and like you said, a natural and efficient way to go backwards
I had a figure-skating coach who taught something very similar for hockey - called a waltz step. you would lift your feet slightly during the cork screw
That's definitely one way. I'm gonna show a clip of this on this weeks members call and dive in. Will update the TH-cam community. Thanks for your question.
You mention that you just "flip" the forward corkscrew technique from forward to backwards. But where exactly is the pressure supposed to be in the backwards corkscrew? The balls of the feet? Also, is the shin angle over the toes or even further as well? Very excited to try this technique out tomorrow.
Heel pressure but with shin angle. Went over a clip on the last members call with Letang defending a 2 on 1 and you can really see these mechanics in play. Shin angle is as far over as comfortable. Will vary player to player because of our different tibia lengths and body types.
@@Train2point0 Thank you so much! I didn't get a chance to skate today so I will try it soon. Forward heel pressure and shin angle has been a complete game changer. Can''t wait to try it backwards!
@@Train2point0 I’ve been practicing the backward corkscrew but feel like I’m still pushing too much with my toes and front of my foot, so that it still feels more like a C cut. I’ll have to practice more of a heel push I take it?
It's great to see and hear this, because the whole exaggerated c-cut motion always felt unnecessary, and the corkscrew way more natural. Thank you!
Completely agree. No problem🙏

Thank you very much 👍

Yes, we call that a stutter step. Great for deception, beating players and increasing options.
Kudos
Can I live in a backwards corkscrew ?
Haha soon i hope.
One question jason how to gain power from forward to backwards ,mowhawk and cross over .?
Great video

Jason I’m kind of a new skater, on the front corkscrew you said you push from your heels, so for the backwards corkscrew do you push from your toes?
Hey, the short answer is no, you want to continue with your heel pressure.
Hi Jason, Is it possible to schedule skates with you?
Hey Connor, just responded to your e-mail.
