        Skate backwards.

        Put your left foot in front of your right, while both are still in contact with the ice surface. Your weight should be predominately on your right/back foot. You should be leaning slightly to the right, so that you are slightly on your right-outside edge and left-inside edge.

        Bend your legs and jump, pulling your arms in to cross your chest and turning over your left shoulder.

      • 4

        Pull in tight, hold your center, and do one, two, or three rotations in the air.

      • 5

        You should land on your right foot, gliding backwards. Your left foot is extended to the back, and your arms are firmly extended to the sides.

    Tips & Warnings

    • These directions are for the right handed/footed figure skater. If you are left handed/footed, reverse the right-left directions.
