Backward Quick Starts 

@al3xand3rr22 - Normally I have red, but the pink laces are in honor of one of the mothers on my team who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Our entire team wears them. We also have a breast cancer survivor mother on our team. HockeyShare makes annual donations to different charities for cancer support - last year was NHL's Hockey Fights Cancer. This year it was a local organization. Glad everyone is enjoying the content! -Kevin

The slow-motion replay after the full-speed demonstration is a perfect way to do it.

Where is your weight supposed to be on a backwards crossover? Part of my problem is I am leaning too forward, I think. I find my weight is mostly on my toes and between that and leaning forward, I can hit a few strides then feel like I am going to fall over. Is my weight supposed to be more on the middle of my skate, or on my heels?

On backwards crossovers does it matter if you lift your leg or just swivel in from a C cut without having the leg that's crossing over leave the ice?

Great video, thanks :) So few videos have decent, informative content (clear instructions) AND slow mo replay. It's really difficult to learn when you just get shown a good skater do something really fast. xD

Your demonstrations are accurate, informative and in depth. unlike other videos on you tube. thanks

This guy is ridiculous. Such a clean skater my god.

much better then fucking expertvillige

@cityboy8682 lol w/e naw its good to hear the meaning behind them. i would have cringed a bit if he said it was cause he wanted to be a fashion diva on the ice.

Is this backward-quick start method doable on inline skates?

That's Oprah in the background on guitar..............................

He knows the common errors because he mentions my rookie mistakes.

I don't have enough pads to try this. I'd be bouncing off the ice on the 1st turn. Good demo though.

@al3xand3rr22 What's wrong with pink? Not manly enough to wear pink yourself?

This didn't help. Completely confused me when he did the turn smh.

i feel like my backwards crossover toward the right are stronger than my corssovers to left, how can i improve this?????????

I'm going to try this at stick and puck tomorrow exactly as you've demonstrated it..... and fall flat on my ass.
