  1. To figure skaters: if you’d learn crossovers, this tutorial might be a good resource for y’all to gain speed and lift your free leg. However, in figure skating the “hard tapping” of the lifting foot onto the ice should be avoided. Speed and turns are not the only thing that matters: the figures are.

  2. The camera man was skating backwards as fast as you were going forward. I’d like to see that from a second camera. 🙂

  3. A bit of a noob question, but when you are performing crossovers, what part of the blade should you be putting your weight? Toe? Heel? Or even over the entire blade?

  4. Good video except the tip on leaning into the turn. I've always learned in skating and in skiing to maintain better balance your upper body leans slightly away from the turn to the outside. This helps your center of gravity and balance immensely.

  5. PLEASE DO NOT RELY ON HIM TO TEACH YOU HOW TO SKATE. "ALMOST WANT TO BOB YOUR HEAD UP AND DOWN"….THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO NOT WANT….YOUR INSIDE LEG SHOULD ALWAYS BE BENT….AND YOUR FOOT CROSSING OVER SHOULD BE LEAD W THE TOE NOT W THE HEEL AS HE DEMONSTRATED….

    i COULD GO ON ….BUT THE BELLY BUTTON TO YOUR THIGH COMMENT…HOLY SHIT….DO YOU COME UP W THIS SHIT YOURSELF? IF YOU ACTUALLY DO THAT THEN YOUR CHEST IS WAY TOO FORWARD AND i WOULD BE ABLE TO KNOCK YOU DOWN W A SLIGHT PUSH….ITS ALL ABOUT BALANCE….THIS IS NOT IT i ASSURE YOU.

    IF YOU WANT TO SEE HOW THE BEST TEAMS IN THE NHL LEARN THEN SEARCH PAUL VINCENT OR PVPOWER. YOU ARE WELCOME….

  6. My dream sport is hockey, but im 16 now and as a kid my mom didnt let me play cause she thought it was too dangerous for a girl or whatever and im scared its too late to start : (

  7. Зачем лишние движения ногами назад? Сразу после толчка ногу переставляй, время и силы сэкономишь.
