The 5 backwards tricks? Back Crossovers, Backwards Inverted Mohawk, Top-Up, Dummie Mohawk & Fakie 180. The Skatefresh Method makes it all possible. Test the Advanced Online course and learn something new. https://skatefresh.com/freebie-advanced/Skatefresh student @northislandking is proof of how backwards skating can be learned and perfected by following particular progression pathways over time. The most important place to start is being able to “just stride” backwards, as this ensures you can weight bare on each leg and so begin the process of more complex manouvers.Top-Ups are the short, 1/2 cross under steps that create awesome acceleration is narrow spaces (and uphill backwards).For more advanced level content check out this Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGWNeaL3gDZTtdksPn7V0xH1vVg9JQzHmWho is Asha Skatefresh?
