Thank you so much! this has helped alot with my right foot crossovers. I was amazing one way but the other i completely sucked, this has evened them out. ❤

I needed to do some "skatenance" yesterday, so I took my wheels apart and cleaned everything. I am just now starting up my backwards skating. I just started skating last month. I love it. Backwards is so scary and so tricky. Going backwards, I have noticed, your odds of taking a spill, double, from just doing a basic forward skate.

You always make it look so easy! But I know it will take time and practice to get it right. But thank you for all the great instructions on your videos. 🥰🛼🛼

Can we get a video doing backwards crossovers on altering legs going around the corners? Just an advanced version of this where you crossover backwards on both sides around the corner @skatie
