Epic tutorial on how to crossover ice skating g backwards

Описание: This is a tutorial on how to crossover ice skating backwards.

The backward crossover is an essential ice skating move used for speed, turns, and transitioning smoothly between edges. Here’s how to perform a backward crossover in ice skating:

1. Starting Position

• Begin by skating backwards in a relaxed, basic backward skating position with knees slightly bent.
• Make sure your head is up and you’re looking where you want to go.

2. Weight Transfer

• Shift your weight to the outside foot (the foot furthest from the direction you want to turn). For a counter-clockwise crossover, this would be your left foot.
• Keep your body leaned slightly towards the inside of the turn.

3. Cross the Outside Foot Over

• Lift your outside foot (right foot for counter-clockwise, left foot for clockwise) and cross it over the inside foot. The outside foot should land on the ice inside the path of the inside foot.
• Keep your knees bent for balance and stability.

4. Push with the Inside Foot

• Push off with the inside foot, which is now behind the crossed-over foot. This push generates the momentum needed to maintain speed.
• As you push, extend the leg outwards for a stronger push and better balance.

5. Glide and Repeat

• Once you complete the push, bring the pushing foot back to the original position beside the gliding foot.
• Continue the cross-and-push sequence, gradually increasing speed as you become more comfortable.

Tips for Backward Crossovers:

• Edge Control: Try to stay on the edges of your skates rather than the flats. The outside skate should be on its outside edge, and the inside skate should use its inside edge.
• Arm Position: Keep your arms extended, with the arm on the inside of the turn slightly forward and the outside arm back for balance.
• Body Posture: Lean slightly into the turn to maintain your center of gravity.

Practicing backward crossovers slowly at first can help you master the technique before trying them at higher speeds.
