Asha from Skatefresh continues with more backwards skating tips for those learning and wanting to perfect this skill set.
In this video she shows a useful exercise/drill that trains weight shift, forward and backwards stepping plough stops and control of the subtle angles involved in backwards skating relating to your heels and toes. It looks easy but it’s a challenge, especially as you improve and are able to go faster, it can get hectic very quickly….
The higher speed back stepping plough stop is also shown to motivate you that it’s a great functional stop when learned well.
If you’ve missed the previous videos in this series on backwards skating check them out here first.
