Thank you for break it down to make it simple. Now it doesn’t seem so hard.

[@macmorris3997]

It's much simpler than you think, I'm glad it helps!

[@alecbenjamin8301]

Excellent, I just came across your tutorial and will add these drills to what I'm already practicing later today.
I think this is what I needed to take me a beginner of 5 months to the next level.
Will let you know of my progress.
Give thanks! 🙏🏾

[@macmorris3997]

I really hope it helps! Please keep me updated. Cheers!

You made this look super easy 😂 I can’t wait to get out there and try. I know it’s going to take a few 100 times but I’m ready 😎

[@macmorris3997]

Omg I’m getting it 😳

[@kinamot]

Hey! Yo the man!! I am amazed in how you spin stop. Could you teach that as well?

[@macmorris3997]

Thanks! Hmm.. it's similar to the 180 video I have on the channel but let me see if I can create something a little more directing.

This is exactly how I do my crossovers

[@nighthawk20011]

I can get the right over left fine...but the left over right I'm awful at. The right to left feels natural, but the left over right feels like my right leg suddenly triples in size and prevents my left leg from going anywhere.

I’m a new skater I feel so nervous doing a crossover bc sometimes my feet get tangle up

[@macmorris3997]

I always encourage folks to do it without skates first, with just regular shoes. Going through the motion of one-twos to crossover will also help a ton. Take your time and be patient it'll come with practice ❤️

[@christopherconkright1317]

I skate at the right a lot and someone commented I don’t lift my feet when I go forward…. I use physics of a round object. If you slide it a certain way it gains spin. Should I be lifting my feet more? I’m almost 50 years old

[@macmorris3997]

I think I'd have to see it to fully understand but generally speaking you don't necessarily need to lift your feet higher. What matters more is your ability to balance on one skate at a time.

@@macmorris3997 Thanks I just bought magnesium trucks to make my skates lighter to help me out some

[@ertfgghhhh]
