[confident7127]

Thank  you very much. You are a big help. (I'm a new to skating)

[987bluefox]

Ive found a lot of videos on how to skate backwards, but is there any video out there on ho to transition from forward to backwards?

[whatitduz23]

i only have 1 leg :(

[themusic928]

Can you make a video on how to do crossovers forward and backward please

[BameronCerry]

Another tip for skating backwards:

Put the weight in the front of your skate, not on the heels.

[itstaylagurl711xo]

I used to be able to skate backwards until I took an arrow to the knee

[WaldosRealm]

ok this guy is short, or those are some tall ass boards



[torontothegood]

good vid! THANKS!

[biochiron]

Did anyone else say that's what she said when he said "in and out in and out" lol

[2002Smalls]

ok im getting real pissed off because i live outside of chicago, near the woods, and there is a pond that freezes in the winter, only its not frozen yet because of the stupid warm weather were getting :/

[dancehabbo]

What if your in the middle of a ice rink full of people:L?

[unknownstudd69]

i fell so hard yesterday night my ass and forearm still hurts alot

[jeesuhs]

it looks so easy, but when i get out in the ice its a different story. lol.

[jeffreyneu]

awesome video...very helpful....

[monimabdullah]

your videos have been an inspiration i am a self taught 17 year old hockey player :D and i learned through your videos and others thank you :D

[thepersian204]

Does it make much of a difference if I'm on rollerblades. I don't have much of an opportunity to make it to the ice rink so I got roller blades so that I could practice more often.

[appletech6]

can you guys teach the backwards cross

[mraskhuh]

I keep falling ;:(

[Iconiac10]

Thanks SO much.. You helped me a lot!!(:

[chefboyardee7Elijah]

dude awesome vids.

you kept it clean and gave clear instructions for beginners.

i could see what i need to be doing when i hit the rink in half and hour, thanks ALOT. very clear.

[imzeegoat]

Ok hockey tryouts tomorrow i want to try out wich i am) but my one reason why i might not make is is because i cant skate backwards. how will i be able to do these things at tryouts plz reply thx

[SkinoReturns]

I will try this :) Just have to get bought my safety gear first.. I fell straight on my ass when practicin today.. Haha, thats why i dont like too fall when not wearing Safety gear :P

[Erik3E]

Ok so this is not a question specificaly for going backwards but more about skating overall. Is there any difference in skating with goalie skates and normal player skates or can you apply all these tipps to both?

If not do you know a good site or video where one culd learn more about goalie skating?

(I have skated before but only a few times when I was in school and when I was a kid), I am 21 years now but hey its never to late to learn new things ey? :)

[SuperMark2468]

[monimstarfox]

[mathproable]

This is my first yea playin in 14 in 8 th grade got any other tips???

[kabo1998]

thanks alot it really helped imporve my skating (backwards)

[DaftChinchilla]

i learned the c cuts by accident :) i was practicing a hockey stop against the board and when started to set up, i started doing c cuts

[mrbalaboo]

are u pro?

[howtohockeydotcom]

@mrbalaboo no but thanks for asking :D we are just a couple of guys who love hockey!

[monimstarfox]

@howtohockeydotcom

do you know a place that stil sells mission skates? they look pretty good to skate on

[JoelsBlawg]

@howtohockeydotcom So you're part of the 2GWLHL (2 guys who love hockey league?) XD nah jk jk

[perltech]

@mrbalaboo IMO, anyone that's this good at skating on ice, is at the professional level. I see these kinds of folks (as well as the other HOTSHOT speed/dance/extreme skaters) locally, and believe you me, they deserve the credit of the term 'Pro'. If you've ever been to an ice rink, you know who I'm talking about. They're the few, the fast, the skilled, VERY talented, and especially: experienced!

[bluefalcon55000]

How do i turn around from forwards to backwards

[PatronSaint210]

Is it the same concept on ice? I'm currently equipment manager for a league team and I can play as a defenseman really well such as how i have a hard accurate slapshot and can pass and puckhandle very well, plus I'm 6'5 and 300 pounds solidly build so I can hold my own out there. The only problem is I'm still not very good at skating although getting better. I have to work on my sharp turns, coming to complete stops fast, and I dont know how to skate backwards which is a must. Any advice?

[basspl4y4]

nice little video here, i was always trying to figure out how to effectively skate backwards. I play ice hockey for fun, but I have never got any real hockey training. I might definately check out your channel

[xXxZachAttacKxXx]

awesome. Thanks for the tips man.  Good vid!

[SuperTerry32]

thumbs up if you want to live your dream in hockey

[who1cares]

[SiicKxNation]

[will0perativeGaming2]

[chihockey7]

[chihockey7]

thanks for the tips! btw where can i find that team canada practice jersey? i cant find them anywhere and really want one! thanks again guys!

[howtohockeydotcom]

@chihockey7 I got mine at Sportchek during the Olympics, not to sure where you can get them now, maybe ebay or Amazon, do some google searching and see what you find.

[CradleCath]

@chihockey7 You can probably still get them at Sportchek, at least for now, thanks to the Juniors. Saw lots of Team Canada jerseys there, maybe they have practice jerseys as well.

[mindfreakmaster1]

thumbs up if you have a dream of going in the NHL

[GeeeRiff]

[dirte117]

thanks for the tip

[urfavehero]

Dustiest vissy in the league

[tamukadam]

Great vids and teaching techniques....any chance you can do a vid on backwards crossovers, u did a backward crossover in the video of 'How To Hockey Stop for Beginners!' @ 2:03...really struggling with this

[howtohockeydotcom]

@tamukadam Thanks, we have gotten a few requests, we will try to get a video up soon.

[ROCKYBEST88]

so better than expert village thanks guys i will try it when im at my local rink :)

[monkeyman0077]

can anyone breakdown how to do the turn at the end? Also, when you are just gliding are you resting on both the inside and outside of your blades? Thanks, I am new.

[howtohockeydotcom]

@monkeyman0077 Yeah when you glide you are mostly on both edges, putting a bit more weight on your inside edges. To do turn at the end you need to learn backwards crossovers, there is a really good video explaining everything on here.

[chichigord]

nicetippytoecrossovers

[capsfan89128]

where did you get the jersey? i want to get a russia one like that

[Kimchi4Korea]

Hey,!

Can you do this with inline blades? ?

[howtohockeydotcom]

@Kimchi4Korea It would be similar with inline skates, the difference would be that inline skate wheels don't have the same lateral movement as skate blades, so you might have to point your heel / toes more.

[siflou]

keep the good work guys, really nice ! You're doing this for the right reason :)

[Bakerbrds]

Leaning forward is not proper stance for skating backwards is what i was always taught. Then your center of balance isn't below you. Your supposed to be "sitting down" esssentially with a straight back. This is just my 2 cents but feel free to message me if you disagree.

[leonghk12]

great stuff thanks!
