I'm an adult at 29 starting out a couple of months ago. My forward crossover is alright but I began training my backward skating along circles and getting really frustrated. I also train one foot three turns.
I am really struggling with getting out on an outside edge when pumping around the circle. I try so hard but it feels impossible to get out on that outside edge and also keep skating backwards.
After my last lesson yesterday my knee is in pain. According to my coach I tend to point my knees inwards but I can't correct that without twisting my feet wrongly for the circle. I have much easier to turn from inside edge to an outside edge in three turns and lifting my inside leg.
Att this time backward crossovers feels physically impossible to ever achieve. Also the rise and fall during three turns seems to cause stress on my knee.
Any tips?
