In this video, Lloyd teaches you how you can learn forward crossovers right from your home!
Ice rinks have closed down due to the lockdown, but that doesn't mean you can't still get better at figure skating. With the correct off-ice training, you can improve your figure skating leaps and bounds!
Forward crossovers are a fundamental thing to learn for beginner figure skaters, and they can be very overwhelming at first. Understanding what you have to do and how to do it before you go onto the ice can be a huge benefit.

I just wanted to let everyone know that on Wednesday I'm releasing a video that I hope will not only entertain you, but also provide some good insight. It's the follow up to our popular roller blading Vlog!
patreon.com/icecoachonline if you want to support my work 🙂
Your creativity in teaching how to perfect and practice skating without availability of any ice is fantastic! Thank you so much!
You're welcome 🙂 thanks for letting me know you're enjoying the videos
You're probably the most dedicated instructor on RUclips!
Thanks 😁 as long as everyone enjoys the videos I make, I'll keep making them! I have a lot of fun doing it.
With each new video You're getting more creative! I never thought I could learn crossovers off-ice.
BTW, maybe You could film some exercises for balance. It is something that figure skaters are masters of.
Haha thanks! I really had to sit down and think how to practice crossovers on the floor effectively! Then I came up with this solution. I try my best to do things that are very helpful, and you won't find anywhere else 🙂
Great suggestion too, I can work on a video to help with balance!
@@IceCoachOnline I thought you already knew it, that's amazing :o
And so fun!!!
@@3y312un3 thanks! 🙂
All the lockdown was worth it for these videos alone! :-}
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying them! I can't work because of the lockdown, so thought I would try and be productive at least! Try and help people out if I can 🙂
Ice Coach Online hopefully you can come back to work soon, too.
I work in touring ice shows, so as soon as they are back up and running I'll be back to doing what I love! Making these RUclips videos is my other passion.
This is so hilarious but why I'm admitting that this makes sense LMAO
Hahaha 🤣 thanks! It took a while to figure this out! People asked me 3 weeks ago how to practice their crossovers off Ice at home, and I wanted to create something unique and helpful.
@@IceCoachOnline Yes this is amazingly unique and helpful 😂
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words 😁
I never clicked faster. Thanks so much for all the content you're updating!
Thanks for your support! And that's for the quick comment! It helps to get the video ranked quicker 🙂
Wow, props for creativity and enthusiasm.
I've been practicing crossing over going up and down stairs, can do two stairs per step now, don't know how useful that will be when I get back on the ice though.
Practicing them up and down the stairs is a good idea! I would advise you also practice the exercises in my off ice 3 turn video too, as they will really help you hit the body facing the center of the circle position in crossovers once you get back on the ice!
This video is making me anxious :D I’m constantly waiting vor that band to snap.
But props to your creativity, a perfect mixture of fun and workout. I don’t have band like this at home, but I’m enjoying this series non the less. I set myself other goals until our rink opens again: free handstand and the splits. Because I just started skating I can’t forget that much and I’m fine with starting back at zero (I’m hoping for muscle memory and making progress faster the second time around). And working on flexibility as well as controlled strength will help me and keeps me occupied during this time. And the sore muscles give me a perfect excuse to just lounge on my balcony and fall asleep in the afternoon sun like I did the last days.
That is a very VERY heavy duty band! I'm 200lbs and it completely supports my weight. I had bigger doubts over the door!
Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the video 🙂
Great idea setting the goals and good goals!
We are working on a splits video, which should be helpful when it's released! Also I'm sure our spiral height video will be helpful to you 👍
Definitely jealous of your afternoon sun..... living in the uk we don't get much of that 😂
Haha, love the not-so-serious attitude and the creativity/problem solving of this video. Thanks for the laughs.
Haha thanks! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!
It was great fundamental skill for beginners to work on! Would love to see more video like this!
Brilliant exercise! I will be doing these for my off ice training. Thank you for posting this!
You're welcome! Glad to hear you're enjoying the content I am creating 🙂
Im from the silicon valley and this is innovation people :). I love elastic bands they have improved my overall strength in my strides off ice. do you think you will be making more videos like this after the quarantine, they are really entertaining. i mean its all business on the ice, but this makes it very fun to watch all the way through
Haha thanks 🙂 I really tried to go all out for this one! I'm a huge fan of exercise bands too, when we are touring doing shows, they are so easy to travel and give you a great workout.
The plan is to keep making the videos after the quarantine, trying to make them as entertaining and helpful as possible.
I can make a lot at the moment as I'm unemployed due to corona virus (touring shows all closed down), but as it's something I really enjoy doing I'll keep doing it as a hobby in my free time when I'm back to work.
The dream is to grow the RUclips channel and Patreon big enough so that I can turn it into my job! Either way I have a great time doing it 🙂
He’s an absolute genius
Brilliant! I already know how to do cross overs but watched because it was so entertaining 🤣 Got my Snow Whites in last week. My daughter and I have practiced a bit in the house. They are soo tall! Can’t wait to see the next inline video!
I'm glad to hear you found the video entertaining 🙂 I want to try snow whites, I question whether they are better than the ones I bought 2 weeks ago as I destroyed them in about 2 hours of skating 🤦♂️ Next inline video is coming tonight! I hope people enjoy it as much as the first one.
You are so creative!! Thank you so much for these great ideas. Please continue making such great videos for us.
Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot to me 🙂
Very resourceful
Thank you for posting this. I'm an older adult that's been skating for a couple of years. Crossovers are still hard for me and I was looking for an off-ice way to build skills with the stability of shoes versus skates. Just want you to know I really appreciate this.
Where do you get that stretchy belt thing that attaches to the door?
Brilliant! Can you show us how you anchored the belt to the door? Also, everyone wants to see your dog.
I can ad how I anchored the belt to the door in another video, or If you DM me on Instagram I can send a photo. You basically tie a knot in it and then thread it through through the gap in the door, then check it's secure and not going anywhere.
Tessa might make an appearance in a future video (that was an actual picture of her at the end), but she's 15 now and not too active anymore.
Love this guys enthusiasm!
Haha thanks ❤️
OMG Lloyd!!!! I was just flipping through off ice exercises and landed here! Hope you're doing well :)
And you landed on perhaps my most unorthodox video for practicing off ice yet 😁
I'm great thanks, hope you're staying safe 🙂 any questions, shoot me a message 👍
This helps massively position-wise, thank you! "high-tech" equipment part killed me
Hahaha glad you enjoyed it 😁
These videos about practising in home made me subscribe your channel😄they are amazing
Thanks 🙂 I'm happy to hear you're enjoying them!
Started skating recently and I have a newfound respect for pro skaters 😅 it’s a LOT HARDER than it looks
Diy solution. 🤣🤣🤣 i like it ! Good idea! Thnx for tutorial + making me laugh
this guy is a smart honk
Could you try this with skates and blade guard on?
You could, but you would have to be careful that they didn't slip, making you fall. This is the reason I didn't do it with my skates on in the video, my floor was too slippery, It was like getting in the ice in skate guards 😂
I think I could have glued rubber to the bottom of my guards to fix this, but I didn't have any ☹️
Be careful if you plan on trying it!
@@IceCoachOnline hmm, my room's carpeted so I'll give it a try and see how it goes!! 💪
I imagine crap et would work well too! Let me know how it goes 👍
Can u do backwards crossovers
I couldn’t do well for my the other side forward crossover, my coach said I am broken from my waist, for my upper body is leaning to the circle while my foot doesn’t and stay straight, how to improve it to make it as good as my usual side? If I am not possible to make a same setting as yours of band at my door 😂
It's tough to say what exactly the problem is without seeing it for myself. It sounds like you're not getting fully over your outside edge when skating the other way. I would advise working on holding out edges (inside and also outside) on a circle the bad way.
Off the ice, work on the exercises in my off ice 3 turn video. This will help you develop the strength to get the correct position (body facing the center of the circle) on your forward crossovers.
Nah, I once tried a pull-up on a freshly installed door bar, to see if it was gonna hold my weight (it didn't...) and fell down on my butt, the bar still in my hands (giving my 14 kg heavier father, who had just tested it successfully 20 seconds earlier, a laughing fit). I don't think it gets much riskier than that :D
Ouch! I have had a similar thing happen to myself with a. pull up bar, which is why I made this contraption ultra secure 😂
⛸😯😅Wowwww Thanks
You're welcome 🙂 thanks for letting me know you appreciated it!
❤😂
Where are you Tom? You are slow today, mate
My thoughts exaclty! I'm worried that Tom thought the video was rubbish and not worth commenting on! 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
@@3y312un3 he also didnt leave a comment that go picked up by the spam filter! He's officially a no show!
But now the band support your weight and hold you in position, not your core muscle, but this is better than none
You'd be surprised how much the core muscles worked in the harness! I was tired after practicing the crossovers using the band!
The reason being is that I had to contract my abs to keep my body in the correct alignment.
Ice Coach Online wow! that was unexpected!
@@ristinamiko it was for me too😂 let me know if you have any requests for videos 🙂
Ice Coach Online please do some more roller skating video 🤩
@@ristinamiko the next one on the roller skates is being released on Wednesday! We push our rollerblades to the limits in the video. I'm particularly proud of how the video ended up and I hope everyone enjoys it!
AWESOME! :D THANK YOU :)
You're welcome! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it 🙂
