Backward skating: much more difficult than forward skating, but essential for hockey players and figure skaters, and a lot of fun for recreational skaters!
In this video, I get you started with a few options for getting going if you''ve never skated backwards before. Once we've gotten in motion, I show you how to perfect your stride!
I also show you two ways to start backwards: basic and with a crossover, as when as when and when not to use a crossover when skating in a straight line.
Have fun practicing!
