Turning while going backwards

[Adolf Ahlstorm]

Does anyone have any tips on turning while going backwards. If so please leave a reply. I've gotten it down a little bit, but still need a lot of help. Thanks!

the same way you do it fowards!!!!!lean!!!!

i dont think its inherently harder than forwards its just that you dont spend as much time riding backwards and therefore find it harder. its an experience thing i find, the more time youve spent riding backwards the better you get at turning.

from my experience its not something most people specifically practice unless maybe backwards spins/pirouette (but i doubt ill ever be bothered to learn those).

wow.. seriously? How do you manage that without seeing where you are going?
I'd love to see a video of someone riding some distance backwards... do you have one?

In learning to ride backwards, I have made several 180deg turns. Some intentional, some just to stay vertical. I am still limited to about 50 ft riding backwards. I don't practice near what I desire.

ok.. everyone talking about how they can ride backwards almost indefinitely yet not posting videos... totally not nice. :p

Let's see the videos people. I mean not just going backwards for a few minutes after a drop or spin or whatever.... some distance.. (although going backwards even more than a few revs is more than I can do so anything impresses me at this point. :) )

Videos please... anyone?
