To break it down into steps: Side stop Backwards cross-over / backwards start Backwards skating into our C-cuts Coaching Points.
INLINE SKATING TRANSITIONS NOTE: Transitioning from Skating forwards to backwards on inline skates is very similar to transitioning from skating forwards to backwards on ice skates and transitioning from skating forwards to backwards on roller skates. Once you have mastered transitions for one type of skating, you can apply it to the others.Alternatively, you can use the toe stop switch on the right of the right side roller skate. When using that toe brakes, scissor the legs one backward and the other forward. Then lift the heel of your right leg and applies pressure to the toe to stop.

You can practice gliding by pushing off the boards straight back to learn the proper balance point.For the skating, start by walking. If you're just starting out with backwards, I'd recommend starting by getting comfortable moving backwards first. This is already covered in the Reddiquette. However it deserves to be emphasized that we will NOT tolerate any remarks which are either: discriminatory, a personal attack on another user, belligerent, harassment, or otherwise deemed hurtful.
You should start with one knee bent and the other straight. Shift your weight back and forth between your two legs. It's hard to explain in words, but place your feet just wider than shoulder width apart.
The best way to think of this is to make the C in front of your skating foot. Otherwise, you end up pivoting around the skating foot and lose all your flow. It is super important when trying the C push that you keep the pushing foot in front of your skating foot.
Even if there are only 30 skaters on a session, it isn't possible to predict the speed and location of all the other skaters well enough for a wall-pushing skater to know when a sudden push perpendicular to the correct direction will cause a collision. If it flips to an inside, you'll come to a halt or start to pivot.Using the end boards doesn't make it any better unless you are right against the perpendicular wall, rather than pushing out perpendicular to traffic. The skating foot needs to be on a flat or slight outside edge. Keeping most of your weight on the skating foot will help with that. It's also important that the skating foot keeps gliding while you push.
Also, the harder the push is, and the further out the skater cuts perpendicular to traffic, the more risk there is pushing backwards only enough to go one or two feet is not enough distance to straighten up properly to feel the way the glide is supposed to feel.Click to expand.Doing maneuvers backwards as well as forwards is one of the most thrilling aspects of skating. Most beginners are not used to looking over their shoulders, and I have never seen a wall-pusher looking backwards first. If a coach is standing there making sure there is a clear path, that is different. But doing something that endangers other skaters is reckless endangerment. If people want to do things that are only risky to themselves, fine. I have seen at least a dozen people get knocked down, some injured enough to need medical care.
A lot of skittishness arises from fear of getting hurt (especially when you can't see where you're going), and proper protective gear will help allay that fear.(b) If at all possible, have a skating buddy who will skate forward along side of you. So it takes a fair amount of practice to ease your body into the right position.(a) If you aren't currently wearing protective gear (helmet, pads, and guards), you should. In the beginning, however, your weight will probably be somewhere over the front half of the blade, you probably will be leaning forward (because you're afraid of falling backward), and your head will probably be facing forward (because your balance is initially thrown out of wack if you twist your head around). Ideally, when skating backward, your weight should be somewhere over the back half of the blade, you should be leaning backwards, and your head should be turned to the side or to the back (so you can see in the direction in which you are skating).
Think of bending your knees and sitting down while keeping your upper body upright.If it feels like you're skating on the back half of the blade and you're leaning backward while a coach or other trusted observer says you're not, then you're OK. And don't think of "leaning back" to avoid breaking forward. Over the ball of the foot - not on the toe picks. The skating buddy is there strictly to make sure the path behind you is clear until you're advanced enough to turn your head and look for yourself.It may feel like that when you're new to skating backward and, as tstop4me mentions, it feels like you want to skate toward the toepicks and break forward at the waist for fear of falling backward.But don't overdo the corrections so much that you actually put yourself in danger of falling backward.My understanding is that when you're skating backward the weight is further forward on the blade than when skating forward.
What I posted is not something I cooked up it's something my coach (a very experienced coach) constantly drills into me. That should become second nature until you get to moves where it makes more sense to look outside the circle (e.g., half lutzes).Click to expand.I'd be interested in hearing from others. At that point, start making it a habit to look over your inside shoulder to the inside of the circle, to look in the direction that you're headed. Or if you're wearing a helmet that limits your peripheral vision.Once you do get comfortable with the concept of backward skating, you'll start doing more of it on curves than in straight lines: half swizzle pumps, back crossovers, back outside edges. You might want to wear a helmet.So I'll second the suggestion to have someone run interference for you and make sure the path behind you is clear before you feel comfortable looking over your shoulder.
She also points out that your head has substantial weight, and that turning your head to look in the direction in which you are skating (where appropriate) not only is safer but also shifts your center of gravity backwards, making it easier to lean backwards. And how far back you shift your weight and how far back you lean depends on what you are doing, and how much control you've developed. She demos this to me, and she constantly reminds me, "You have a long blade, use all of it!" Obviously, you don't take it to the extreme such that you catch the heel of the blade and trip.
What I posted is not something I cooked up it's something my coach (a very experienced coach) constantly drills into me. I realize there is no one right way, and different coaches have different opinions.I'd be interested in hearing from others. But I would like to hear from coaches and students whether what my coach tells me to aim for is what they also aim for.
