but he's stepping from outside edge to outside edge? I thought the difference between a cross step and cross rolls is that with a cross step you kind of step over flat and then get the edge while with cross rolls you step into the outside edge?
@@gina1569 when executing a cross roll, the free foot "lands like an airplane" and the inside edge touches down first and the legs dont cross until after the "push". A cross step "lands like a helicopter" and the legs cross before the weight is transferred to the new foot & the new foot steps directly onto the outside edge.
His technique is so clean ! He must have competed in the times of compulsory figures 😍
World Champion and perhaps the best men's figure skater in the 1980s overall.
Man just listen to that edge!
SO much echo it is so hard to understand what he is saying unfortunately
Exactly! So sad
BRIAN ORSER EXCELENTE MAESTRO
Lindo dejar el conocimiento y experiencia en las nuevas generaciones ❤
He was talking about executing cross rolls but his demonstration was a cross step.

It's Brian Orser, I'm not questioning him! I am betting that the guy knows more about skating and teaching than the rest of us put together! 🤔
Where are these lessons??? Which place is he teaching..??
Obrian ice house in melbourne
My blade does not make that sound??
LOL looks like he's wearing Matrix blades, those make loud sound no matter your technique
