The last thirty seconds is so satisfying.
Especially the 2nd go around. Faster and even more stable :)
That's what she said?
It really is. His crossovers are godly
If you are new to crossing over: Start with just moving your crossing foot in front of your behind skate, not all the way across, especially with your weaker foot. When I started, I lost my balance and fell multiple times because of my stronger foot losing balance behind my crossing foot that went across the whole way. Just start with half-crosses
This is the best detail explanation I found through the past few weeks. Pls keep it up, and appreciate your time and help!
The pleasure of seeing the aesthetics of ice hockey skating are only equal to the pleasure of skating. It just looks so freakin cool.
Yeah, I love watching the ice hockey players and how their moves seem so effortless. The do things so fast it's hard to work out exactly how they did it.
Damn
This guys intro is just “all right”
And he just starts the video right then and there
Its a powerplay
Did you expect him to say “Yo CZcams, how’s it going” in a squeaky voice?
I was literally about to throw down the same comment. Gotta appreciate a tutorial that starts off with "Ok, first we're going to focus on is..." and not "Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. Don't forget to hit the bell to receive notifications for new videos like this, and as always, don't forget to like and subscribe...." AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
I think the videos are made for his website and not CZcams.
I dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me.
I love how passionate you are about this that you're genuinely out of breath
Best hockey training I could find on CZcams, Thank you!
Fabulous ! much appreciated !!
I recently just found ur channel nice vids bud! Keep it up
Excellent going to try this out
Thank you so much! Helps ALOT!
Sean, love your videos , I realy like how you break down all kind of skeating in parts to finally put it all together to a perfect combination to fly down the ice! Would love to have you over and show our kids, to bad we live on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean! Keep up the good work!
Plenty of good coaches in the UK. Find yourself a figure skating coach who teaches hockey players.
Great Videos! Thank you
Love your videos - good stuff!
Thank you so much this really help I might get scouted for a hockey team now
Excellent! Go for the gold medal!

Drop dead gorgeous crossovers
LMAO....AWFUL CROSSOVERS ......WHERE SHOULD I START?
this is too good.
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.
In addition to what you taught, I think I also picked up something that is really hindering me with my outside edge. I was watching you putting weight on your outside edge. I mean crikey, you even stood on one leg while your foot is leaning outwards, taking the entire weight of your body. My foot will simply collapse until the outside of the boot upper is resting on the ice. Has caused me to have a spill many times. I've got a very broad foot and have not yet got a properly fitting set of skates. Always been wearing hugely oversized hire boots just to get the width across the ball of my foot. I bet when I finally buy the correct fitting boots and get good lateral support I'll have the confidence for outer edge work.
Thanks for the great video.
What arena are these videos made in ??? Looks familiar, but so many are similar.
Where do you focus your eyes? I'm just starting my crossovers and the "center point" of my turn drifts away and I can't look at the dot in the circle without losing my balance. I've thought about looking off at some point way in the distance behind me as my goal destination for where to go after the turn. Any suggestions?
South Fletchers!
Great explanation. The upright leg only crossover isn't necessarily wrong, it's just more suited to leisure and figure skating. Sean's version is much more appropriate for sports.
Could you do a video on how you like your skates sharpened and profiled? I know it's preferential and varies from person to person. Your skates sound amazingly crunchy which would lead me to believe that you have a more aggressive hollow radius and your turns are so tight that I'd guess you were using a lower profile radius. I'd guess a 1/2" or 7/16" hollow radius and a 9' profile.
How hard/soft the ice is will also dictate how you want your skates sharpened
You can use a shallower hollow if you have good edge control. NHL players often go quite shallow to get more glide. Too much crunchy is bad, it means you are wasting energy breaking up ice. Of course sometimes crunchy equates to power.
Do little little hops too
The energy transfer is like how a spinning top or salad spinner gets faster the more you push down on it. That's what I'll be thinking of when I practice now. thanks.
High quality videos
He has so much control that looks like that he’s not even in the ice
My inside foot buckles during the crossover is it due to loos skates.
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.
Yes, by not leaning in so much, you keep your centre of gravity more over your skates which increases stability. And you can then lean your legs more.
I mean, this is awesome instruction, but how about the camera work?! Nice work!
Love your video made me get better but I was watching on headphones and the mic made me jump
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?
you want to use your outside edge on direction you’re going. at 1:41 you can see him leaning on his outside edge on right foot
Yes but I think he means on the FRONT of the outside edge, BACK of the outside edge, or evenly distributed
Another video (Kellian Hockey) clearly states that the weight should start toward the heel and stay there if simply gliding on that edge. Then as the crossunder push proceeds the weight will shift toward the front of the skate until the "toe flick" to finish the crossunder push. EASIER SAID THAN DONE! My fear is the "buckling" of that outside each when all of the weight is on it. The same video (and others) emphasize keeping the outside leg behind with the knee flexed so that the outside edge can be held. Hope this helps!! @@tasharice2781
Sorry for the typo. The third line should read " buckling" of that outside EDGE!!
No ice destroying ... Whats up boy !?!?! ^^
If you mean that he’s not breaking up the ice, well doing that means poor edge work, you’re wasting energy breaking up the ice.
Why am I always stopping and scratching the ice with my inner leg? I cannot make it glide
Ive been struggling so hard to go left. Can go right very fast but left ugh
I've been struggling to go right!
Some sexy crossovers

Lean with what? The hips. Not shoulders. When you push your hips into the direction of the turn it will make your inside shoulder pop up slightly higher than the outside shoulder. Leaning with the shoulders will cause a loss of balance.
The shoulder lean is "old school". Hip lean now.
Yes, lean with the lower body, head and shoulders up.
I could picture me breaking my knees as I attempt this on the ice-ring. 🙂
The knees aren't the problem. The ANKLES ARE!!
👍🏻

If it were only that easy
I'm new to this too! So I am focusing on outside edge control while gliding before focusing on the crossunder push too much.
"pretty forward crossovers"
the key is sharp skates
how do you show vividly, god
its interesting. when you watch NHL players race to set fastest lap you can see them implementing almost none of this, and they look completely different. This looks like hockey techniques explained by a speed skater. I realize Sean played in the show, maybe i just need to watch more of these videos to see the big picture. Maybe these exaggerated movements are in order to build a foundation.
I skated as fast as I could, round the rink, and my friend beat me. When going round the curves, he didn’t even push, he glided, and kept up. You can see that in some of the NHL races, some players glide on the corners. None of them do these long strides. They are efficient for sure.
@StillAliveAndKicking_ ikr. I was being polite. I took power skating lessons every summer as a kid. They are very helpful for forming technique, but when it comes to actual gameplay, noone skates this exaggerated. For quickness and speed, mini crossovers are far more effective. Just look at mcdavid for example- speedy little crossovers allow him to burst with speed and change his angle of attack
@@coryr6359 Agreed, short strides seem to be faster.
When going left side is fine. But right side? I feel like im in high G forces😂
I can’t help thinking he doesn’t get much power. His upper body should be more upright, and his legs should extend more on the pushes. One leg looks to not push much at all.
it makes you dizzy just watching that video....
Just plant your inside foot hard and throw your right foot Out over it to lean in and do it like you’re running sideways leg over leg until you feel where your skates about to slip out for me this works deep though u can stay until you get so sideways the plastic touches the ice and then You slip but find that sweet spot on your inside foot and try to stay on it it’s not that hard
I know for a fact the camera man got dizzy filming this 💫😵🥴
Counterbalance or no?
I'm dizzy
I find myself falling onto the side of my boot.
The guy filming is skating faster going backwards.
Your left foot was doing all the work while your right inside foot was simply gliding. I am 57 and been skating since I was 5. Played mostly Ice Hockey until I became 40 I join an Inline Speed Skating team where I had to relearn how to skate. Speed Skating technique is so different from Ice Hockey skating technique that I can see very clearly what you demonstrated at the end that your right foot was not really doing anything but gliding.
well it's doing a toe flick at least?
I though that too, not so much push from either foot.
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 : (
Believe in yourself and put in the work. You got this 💪
My advice is to ease Mom into the idea one step at a time. If you have a local rink, start with some skating classes or beginner camp. Talk with the hockey coordinator and see what programs are available. Hockey is for everyone. When I first started, I was 39 in a class full of kids. During the next class cycle, other mothers joined me out there. We had a blast! Now I'm 53 and still playing on Sunday's with ladies of all ages just for fun. My favorite thing to do is just go to "stick and puck" ice time where you just work on your skills. Hockey is a blast. You can get hurt doing anything fun. :)
I'm 43 and just starting 😂
I would say you have nothing to worry about, go for it!
Get it together Lisa.
Зачем лишние движения ногами назад? Сразу после толчка ногу переставляй, время и силы сэкономишь.
I dont think I have the ankle strength for this. There's no hope
as ironic as it sounds, the most effective way to build ankle strength is by doing crossovers
your skates aren’t tight enough then
But you'll have to play with how and where to tighten. Too tight at the top and you'll lose the important forward flex at the ankle. Tighten the middle of the skate the most. There are lots of videos describing skate tighten techniques.@@pullman7540
Looks kinda stiff...likea speed skaterish, where the hop.
Sorry, you are not bobbing when you demonstrate your crossover.
Blue pink red yellow green probably the people to stay away from
Her?
If your skating is “gorgeous” then I’m going to check the absolute sh$t out of you!
hey bud no cursing.
No one actually crosses over, like you show at the beginning.
They do when they are first learning!! Most of us have been there!
