Tutorial: Forward Crossovers on inline skates; How to make them smooth and safe even at high speeds.

Prepare for Crossovers with a perfect Lunge Turn & Stride Training Drills https://skatefresh.com/freebie-interm... .

This video tutorial aims to fix one of the most common problems that Asha sees when people try forward crossovers. She identifies the problem and gives a training exercise to help you fix this issue.

Apologies for the slight nausea creating, fast moving background of this video.

Forward crossovers are more complex and challenging than they look and Asha's full tutorial class on this skill (available in the "How to Skate - Intermediate" online course is almost 15 minutes long. This is not a skill that should be summarised. Test that course for free (see links below).

Many skaters try forward crossovers before they have the necessary pre-requisite skills to do so safely. These include;
Conscious edge control and ability to glide on both inside and outside edges in curves on 1 leg.
Scooting in a circle is a good way to train the new outside edge.
Parallel turns in both directions
Confident Toe Rolls in straight lines and on inside & outside edges (both legs).
