crossovers (✿◠‿◠)

really late, I know.

(edit: I’m going to make an entirely separate post for back crossovers bc that’s an entirely different game lmao)

anyways, hopefully these help! remember that perfect crossovers don’t magically appear overnight so be patient and practice!

                                         forwards crossovers

one of the most important things is arm placement. when you’re doing your right foot over your left foot, you want to think of your right arm in front and your left arm behind you and vice versa. when you’re doing forward crossovers you want to be on the mid to mid-back of your blade so you don’t fall forward

-keep a good knee bend

-practice your inside and outside edges on a circle

-tighten your core

-practice the first push! when you push off the inside edge w your free leg, you want to straighten it behind you

-my coach had me do an exercise where I would stand still and cross one foot over the other, staying upright for as long as possible before pushing off whichever edge and propelling myself onto the ice. yea, it doesn’t sound like fun, but it really helps (plus it doesn’t hurt and you can slide on ya stomach like a penguin :0)

-on your second push, you also want to push off an inside edge (NOT THE TOEPICK) and straighten your leg, not only for looks but for speed.

have fun! I know this was kinda short but…yea.
