    i don't know why, but i cant seem to grasp the idea of backwards crossovers

    • @kkstar1297
      @kkstar1297 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Neither can I. I'm having so much trouble with them.

    • @mxsty5172
      @mxsty5172 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      kkstar 12 same here, my balance is horrible when doing my backward crossovers. I just cant cross properly and i trip over my own feet constantly

    • @kkstar1297
      @kkstar1297 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I can crossover. I just end up dragging my back feet on my toe picks when I'm trying to get out of it.

    • @mxsty5172
      @mxsty5172 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      kkstar 12 thats pretty much what i struggle with😂and balance too.... i just suck at backwards

    • @kkstar1297
      @kkstar1297 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      We'll get better at them. It just takes time. Don't give up.

    @courteneyskye5690 7 ปีที่แล้ว +67

    The thing that's helped me the most with backward crossovers is bending my knees more and making sure that my inside foot is on an outside edge. It makes it way easier

    i'm just starting my backwards crossovers so this is just perfect timing hahah! could you maybe do a video on 3 turns or waltz jump?

    • @xanyaw2296

      JujuKat mee too

    • @ceilingfansandidlehands4771
      @ceilingfansandidlehands4771 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yes!! 3 turns & waltz jumps would be good

    • @haileyadason4420
      @haileyadason4420 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      JujuKat oh yes!! Those three turns are the worst sometimes.

    • @xanyaw2296
      @xanyaw2296 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I can do waltz jumping ( not completely) but still my three turns are bad :(

      @Digimistake 7 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Anya Aponte same!! backwards crossovers are so easy to me but when I do my forward crossovers it feels like in about to fall on my head and die lmao

    • @weinsten980
      @weinsten980 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      AwkwardHumanLiz truee!! It feels so awkward especially the clockwise ones. Ugh

    • @Gingerella72
      @Gingerella72 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Same here, backward crossovers come a lot easier for me than forward. I don't know why.

    • @weinsten980
      @weinsten980 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I suppose because falling backwards is better than forwards because it's more dangerous and painful that way?

  • @lindsayg8518

    i was just looking to see if you had a video about this because i am having a lot of trouble with it. I only saw you put your left foot behind your right. Doing a video where you are going the other way would help me out. Also I would love to see a video of you doing some tricks and fun things at the rollerskating rink on rollerskates just to see the difference in balance and to learn this would be really neat to learn from! you are an incredable skater! keep skating on - cheers.

    I haven't learned crossovers yet but i'm trying to figure out the movements,
    so you push off one leg, put that leg in front of the other so one leg is "under" the other, and put the "under" leg in front? Is that right?

I have a Skate Test tomorrow (I'm an adult beginner having started 2 months ago & skating once a week, twice if I'm very lucky) and I still have trouble using my outside edge, it feels terrifying- like I'm going to fall. Do you have any tips, other than what was in your video, to gain confidence using the outside edge for forward crossovers? Thank you in advance!

    Oof, I just got new skates and they were all sharp and nice and I haven’t skated in a while so I was SOOO excited. I was practicing back crossovers on a public session ( that was literally me and 6 other skaters) and I looked like TRASH I was tripping and falling and OOF it was baaaaad. I still don’t have them but I’m getting better.

My skating lessons just started doing backwards crossovers last week, and I can go backwards I have to do some wiggles first to get started. I want to learn how to start going backwards naturally without having to do wiggles.
