I'm a skating coach and skating backwards takes a lot of repetition , but starting wiggling your legs backwards shirting your weight from one to the other , skating backwards basically is pushing on your blade as you shift your weight so as you are pushing (say for example starting with you left leg) as you shift your weight off ur right leg onto your left u push off the lce with yous right leg , like i said before it just takes a lot of practice so don't get discouraged you will get it soon , good luck

i start near the wall, and sk8 along the wall until i get the confidence to move away from the wall.

start standing, then slowly push one foot out a little, and bring it back in, then do the same with the other foot, and repeat. use the wall to help keep your balance though.

hope this helps, good luck

How would you explain the technique of snowboarding to a beginner?

I teach skating and the best way to start skating backwards is to simply controlably wiggle ur legs...so your almost doing a slolem type thing. Then move on to more difficult things such as backwars swizzles and crossovers. Good luck!

How did CR Johnson go into a coma?

All I can tell you is to bend your knees and push. Also many beginners have a tendency to lean forward, a lot of it is in the upper body. Keep your back straight and shoulders back. If this is too hard, try pushing off a wall and try and make it to the other side of the rink. Once you learn this, you wont even have to think when you skate backwards.
