how to stay on hockey circle during crossovers
I'm currently in LTS 4 for the third time mainly because of crossovers. In my classes, we usually did all the things on a curve around the big hockey circles in the corners of the rink.
In my last class, my teacher had us to outside and inside edges each on our own little 6' diameter circles she would draw for us. This was really helpful and I was able to do them when I couldn't before.
I have been struggling with crossovers, just unable to like commit to crossing my foot over, or it goes in front instead of over, and then my back foot just slides back instead of staying still. The other day I thought, oh doing edges on small circle was easier so I'll try crossovers on small circle. So I tried it and something clicked and I was suddenly able to do crossovers. But I can only do them in a tight curve and going kind of fast.
When I try to do crossovers in class when we go slow around the big hockey circle, I just have the same problems I always had before. I'm not sure why I can't to it like this. I watch my other classmates and can see them going slowly wit their bodies upright but still able to maintain their outside edge and cross their feet over. If I try as hard as possible to do them like that, I find myself still curving inward ln a tighter curve and unable to stay along the hockey circle line
Why can I only do crossovers if I'm going fast and leaning a lot? What am I doing wrong? Maybe it's cause I can't maintain my outside edge when going slowly and without a lot of lean, but why and how to fix?
