Just keep applying pressure on the outside edge. You got this ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for tutorials! It's really helpful. I struggle with the outside edge and balancing on the left foot. I can do it on the right foot, though. What can I do to improve balance on one foot?

Very welcome ❤️❤️
Thank you for your instructions; they have been very helpful! I have a question: How can I distribute weight during the cross swizzle when skating straight? I understand weight transfer happens naturally in a crossover, but maintaining balance with crossed feet in a straight line is challenging for me.

Very welcome ❤️ it’s a challenge for everyone 😉 you want to let that back foot press against the out side edge. I know it can be scary but it will help so much.
Thank you so much, this is just what I needed. If possible could you do a tutorial on forward and backward power circle, CW & ACW? That would be amazing 💕

Just keep trusting those edges ❤️❤️ you got this
Just when I start to get comfortable with my crossovers, the toe pick of one foot crashes into the heel of the other and I get paranoid again :(

Just keep working on them and the more you do, the better they will get 😉❤️❤️
I struggle with rotating my body enough and quickly when doing alternating crossovers down the axis.
