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

Can you make a video on backwards skating for beginners? Love you Katie!!

Tips: Don’t be afraid. Just go. Look forward and wiggle your skates side to side. Or do backwards swizzles

katie i just want to thank you for all the help you have been posting to all new skaters. me as one of them i am very thankfull that my favorite youtuber is posting stuff to help me with the things i love. and now before you start getting even more thousands and thousands subscribers(congrats on 15k yay💙😊), and my comment will always be harder to find cause there will be more people in each and every one of your vids i just want to say thank you so much and always keep up all the amazing work💞💟💞

This is so useful!!! I was having a hard time learning crossovers (both, backward and forward) and this helped a lot!! Thanks Katie, ur the best!! 💕

Thank you so much!! Trying to perfect those backwards crossovers, this was so helpful! I love your videos so much!!!

i'm a beginner and this was so helpful! i always fail terribly when i try to do backward crossovers, hope they will improve one day. also your videos are amazing, Katie, keep on making them. lots of love from russia 💕

i was waiting for this video!💕💕

I really love these basics videos! Can you please make a video on inside and outside three turns as well as basic spins like the two foot spine? I'm trying to improve on my three turns to pass my skating level at the moment. Thank you so much!!

I like it when you do some more basic tutorials for the less experienced skaters. Thank you for the great crossover advice!

Backwards crossovers have been driving me insane. Thank you.

My crossovers? They are very very unsatisfying Lol

Amazing vids. About to go to the rink and try it tomorrow!

Oh my god. Thank you so much. I'm REALLY struggling with my backward crossovers. When I first started learning them I couldn't even cross my legs over. Now I'm only having trouble dragging my back legs causing me to scrape on my toe picks. But hopefully I'll get them very soon. Thanks for your tips and all of your help.

Thanks for making this video! I needed this so much because I am in level 2 and I am learning forward crossovers but I am doing horrible at them. It was such a coincidence that you uploaded a video about this! anyways, thank you sooo much

Katie you have no idea how helpful this was. I just got new skates (jackson classiques) and my forward crossovers are terrible, and I don't have backwards crossovers yet. I always end up hitting my blades together and almost falling...

Thank you so much for this!! I'm more of a beginner figure skater so I appreciate you including the basics ^_^ and although I pretty much have crossovers down, this definitely will help me improve them

Wonderful video, Eye katie,

Hi Katie! You are amazing! Best skater ever! Cheers from Poland! :*

Ahhhh thank you so much katie this helped me so much as I'm trying to perfect my crossovers at the moment. I was wondering if you could do a video with tips for beginners including stuff like going backwards and all the basics. I love you so much and you've been such an inspiration to me thank you❤️❤️❤️

Thank you soooooo much! This really helped. You are the best!

Hey Katie! What about some basic spins and off-ice exercises to begin with. Love your videos! ❤❤

I love all the tips in this video Katie!! sometimes its so good to go back to basics. I've actually just made a video on forwards crossovers on my channel, its super interesting that you've done forwards and backwards crosses in one video as they are quite different in terms of levels of difficulty.

Wow, that was real helpful, I've been trying to learn bacwards crossovers for ages... I hope I'll finally get there :D

Thank you! I'm just starting out and this helps a lot!!😘

thank you so much for this explanation. I do skating only casually and I always wanted to be able to do the backward crossover, but I always get confuse in witch foot go where. that will help a lot thank you

Ahhh Katie this is perfect timing as I'm currently working on crossovers

Hi Katie. I just started to learn skate at the age of 30. Your crossover is so beautiful and that's my GOAL!!!

you're my favorite figure skating channel

Love your videos ! ❤️ They're so helpful sweetie

This brings back so many memories

You do great at explaining all the details! Thanks!

Yay she's back!

I've been skating for a year and forward crossovers are such a pain since I suck at them. Oddly, bacwards crossovers are my favorite skill since I'm so comfortable with them.

I'm just starting to learn these in my lessons and this helped a lot, bless

Well made and well thought out video!!!! Thanks!!!

literally need this right now! thanks for uploading hahaha

I'm finally going to learn crossovers. I'm going to be learning the forward ones. I can't wait.

Thank you so much for the tips! I've been able to do forward and backwards crossovers for some time now, but it bothers me that they don't look how I want them. I'm going to the ice rink tomorrow to practice

YEESSS I fail so badly at crossovers and I just got new skates so they look like legitimate trash. This helps so much thank yoouuuuu xxx

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.

Your channel has been growing steadily lately! Can you do video comparing Sals and Axels? I think it's so hard to distinguish between the two that everyone would benefit from an explanation!

the speed when doing crossovers gives me struggles bc you suddenly go so fast and our rink has been so crowded lately so I just can't go fast bc I'll skate into ppl xD

Freestyle 5 and I still sometimes trip on my crossovers XD

Hello! What a beautiful skater you are- thank you so much for this video! 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!

On back crossovers, you also wanna make sure you don't trip on the front of you're blade. Believe me, it hurts.

keeep up with more tutorials PLEASE , IT REALLY HELPED ME

blessingsss!!! thank you so much!!!

i needed this video!!

If it isn't too much to ask could you do a video on how to do better with going backwards. Such as if you were in a routine. 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.

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?

So my coach say that I have to flex My foot behind me (the one that did not cross) I was wondering if you had any tips or exercises off the ice! Thanks so much Katie!

Great video! Please do a video on how to become flexible or some exercises to help. I am not flexible at all 😂 luv u! Xxx

HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY!!! 😄

Do you have any advice for shifting your weight from one foot to the other for backwards crossovers? Thanks so much for this video, and I love your channel so much!

That would be great to know..

Any tips on doing crossovers in your non-dominant direction? I’m great going forwards and backwards counterclockwise (lifting my right leg) but I can’t get past the mental block of going clockwise (lifting my left leg).

Hey katie i love you channel soon much ly!!!

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.

Can you do a tutorial of how to do a one foot front spin and maybe tips on Mohawks?

Thank you very much for the help I need improvement for my cross dresser

My left crossovers are semi-pro, My right cross overs are is if I never skates B4

❤️❤️❤️❤️love u!!!!

Do you have any suggestions for how to get a wonder crossover for our weaker side? My left side crossover leg doesn't crossover as far easy right leg crossover.

On Wednesday May 10th I'm starting my lessons. (2 days) I'm so excided

What’s your recommendation for skaters starting double jumps & what skates would you recommend?

I got my crossovers on my first try thanks to u

i think this video is also helpful for the ppl enjoying inline skating :)

When I do the backward crossovers in the counterclockwise direction, I find it difficult to fully extend the right leg under the left leg. Do you have any tips for that?

watched in 0.5x speed so i could see the crossovers slowly while comparing them to my own so i can see how to improve and it sounds like shes drunk lmaooo

thanks for the help!!!!!! but for some reason I just can't get my boot to go over the other. can you help me??????

If you find the time, could you do a video about spirals?

Can you do a video on moves in the field? Or edges?

who is that one person who disliked smh 🙄 ilysm katie❤️ i'm a figure skater too and i'm starting my axel☺️ i always trip in crossovers😂

My coach told me to point my toe on the foot I'm crossing over with to the middle of the circle when I was struggling with my forward cross over (excuse my grammar, it was probably wrong)

Can you maybe explain which leg goes over the other when you do crossovers?

Any advice for adjusting to newer stiffer skates?

Hey Katie can you please do a beginner tips and how to backwards skate video?❤️

Can I also use these tip for my rollerskates?

Can you do a video on lunges?

What do you recommend learning first, the front crossover or the backward crossover?

Can you do a video teaching basics like the waltz jump/two foot spin? Thank you :))

crossovers will be the death of me but this was helpful so thank you​

When we go backward, does the foot crossing over glide on the ice?

could you please please please start a beginners figure skating series? 😍😍😍😍

Thank you so much

Can you do a video on a backspin? I really need help.

I've watched this and many other tutorials for crossovers and I just can't seem to do them at all. I'm terrified to cross my feet (no problem gliding on one foot). when i finally get the courage to cross, I fall, every time. I'm getting so frustrated.

I was just starting in February and I hurt my knee doing crossovers and had to Get surgery. Rip me

Please do a video on two foot spins!!!!

Not sure if you'll see this.... But when doing forward crossovers i tend to catch my pick on the ice... if that makes sense... any tips on how to not do this?

I really want to learn this but it’s difficult for me and I’m scared of hurting myself when I fall over attempting it

I keep tripping on my toepick when I do the backwards crossover any tips?

Could you pls show us how to do a sit spin

I need this video ❤️
