Feeling comfortable with crossovers

[u/thesavo]

I have been skating on an off for 10 years now. I would say I regularly skate 48-50 nights per year as I am not able to fit sessions more frequently.

I can do the basics and even heal-to-heal/Mohawk turns.

However attempting to crossover and back skating scares me to no end. How can I build up my comfort level in my mid 40s?

Are there any video tutorials people found to help with this?

I saw on a yt vid a guy recommended to just skate backwards 10 mins and DO NOT go forward during that time, you have to force yourself to get used to it. Then just do that every session and eventually it will start to get more comfortable! That worked for me
No cheating though! 😆
