Forwards and Backwards Crossovers:
Rat City Rollergirls, great link, and newer concept!
also, reference figure skating technique
Two things I will amend on this second video that are more for ice skating and less for derby: Get low in your derby chair. He's right about a strong core, but in derby we need to get low and bend our knees to allow extra clearance for our kneepads and proper derby technique. Also, when you are pushing out with your foot, push to the SIDE, not behind you. Pushing behind you looks pretty, but it doesn't give you enough pushing power to maximize your speed.
I hope these help, too!
