whenever you're learning your crossovers or any new skills, try to practice it at the easiest simplest level first and then you add complexity.
1. practicing it in place, simply stepping across the floor (in this case for crossovers).
2. doing it in motion, just on a straightaway in a straight line, practicing your cross-crossovers left and right.
3. practicing your crossovers around turns because now we're going to be adding edge control and movements to it as you go around the curve.
4. total mastery practice: being able to do it dynamically forever, crossovers, doing it forward and backwards, doing it around turns, tying it in with other moves, etc.
this is the normal progression we teach crossovers here at sk8shot studios and i have a full deep dive video on more crossover tips on youtube that just came out.
