Skating Backward: Tips & Techniques: Learn How to Rollerblade: Free Video

"Hey guys Adam Silverstein again on behalf of Expertvillage.com. In this next clip I am going to show you guys how to roll figu or backwards. In the previous clips I showed you how to make the transition from rolling forwards to backwards. Now what we got to do is make sure that we can keep rolling backwards and stay in control. So what you are going to do is while you are rolling backwards it is important to keep your knees bent and keep your head looked over your shoulder that way you know where you are going and you are not going to run in anybody. You also want to make sure that your feet are going in an open and closing motion. You want to back your feet out and then bring them back in. Now as I am standing still right here I am going to start that is opening my feet. That is going to give me the initial push to go backwards that is my feet is spread out I bring them back in. That keeps me going in this backward motion. Yeah you guys got it nice."
