'Sup fellow skaters. Here to ask for some drills or tips on how to improve my skating skills to move into power skating this fall. Criteria to get into power skating is forward skating, crossovers and hockey stop facing one way. I'd like to surpass these benchmarks by a mile by fall.

Some background:
-Started skating in April 2010 in a Surrey Learn to Skate program where they ranked me in the mid-intermediate level on getting out.
-Can skate pretty good and fast forwards, good left crossovers, below average right crossovers, straight backwards at a good, steady speed (not fast)
-Can do a half hockey stop facing left where my right foot leads and scrapes well but my left foot trails perpendicular for balance. My left foot doesnt scrape at all. The toe cap just points back and supports my whole body which is stupid.
-Cannot do hockey stops facing the right (too scared to turn that way i dont know), and backwards crossovers.

I'd like to get some tips on how to learn to scrape with both my feet on a hockey stop and not just my lead foot, learn to hockey stop on my weak side, and maybe not fall when doing backwards crossovers.

I've watched every youtube video, I've bought Laura Stamm's book which is geared to the more advanced skaters it seems.

Thanks guys.
