There are different ways to get the right foot over the left foot. Most beginning skaters will want to place the right foot over the left, which is okay, but as a skater advances, it is better to first place the right inside edge next to the other skate's left outside edge, and to then slide the left skate under the right.
As a skater improves at this move, some speed should be gained from the left skate's outside edge as the left blade slides under.
The edges should never change. The skater should skate from a left forward outside edge to a right forward inside edge.
As the skater does this move, he or she should work hard at staying on the correct edges, not toe pushing, and pushing with each foot.
