Why you are saying that this guy is no good?! First of all, before judging his English, you should have at least some intelligence and don't say: "this guy", because "this guy" has a name, and his name is Mr. Olympiev. Secondly, you can't judge this coach just by looking at these video clips. All these video clips helped my cousin, and helped a lot, even her coach were so surprised. I want to thank you Mr. Olympiev for sharing these lessons with other people, and your English is excellent, you explaining very clear and very professional. Thank you so much!

Reading those stupid comments somebody might conclude that *all* Americans are dumb and ignorant. But people, please don't judge the nation by a few idiots who posted their comments here.

Forward Crossovers in Ice Skating
Hello my name is Dmitri Olympiev and I teach at Pines Ice Arena in Pembroke, Florida. You can reach us on the web at www.www.pinesicearena.com. Now the next exercise I’m going to show you will teach us how to glide around the circle fast. For that I’m going to get in the circle, notice how I put my arms, they’re not straight anymore, they’re twisted it will help us to go around the circle. I’m going to sit down, push, stay on one foot, cross my foot over and then put it back. By practicing you can develop quite a bit of speed, this move is called “Forward Crossover”. We’ll be right back.
