Great tutorial. The minute I learned how to backwards skate, the rink closed down and reopened as a library, go figure. Watching this helped me relearn.
That's a perfect example of how to transition front to back and set it up to skate backwards.I was shown how to spin around but couldn't see how doing a 180 can go into skating backwards.
Thanks so much for the help! I've only been skating for a few weeks now and I was able to learn how to transition and skate backwards a little with your help! I hope you continue making more tutorials!
I tried it for the first day as a beginner and it it quite hard if you can't handle enough balancing your weight at the foot. Also your foot must be in straight not twisted in or out side so you won't fall off.
Whenever I (attempt to) transition, I sometimes end up continuing to skate forward, anyone know why that is? I also tend to only really use one foot (usually my left) and it feels like I’m doing a weird spin 🥲
Hi! So when you’re skating you don’t want your feet right next to each other, you actually want them slightly staggered. So my right foot is pretty much always leading and slightly in front of the left!
