Amy what is the best way in ur opinion 2 start skating backwards??
Well, first of all if your starting, try & shake your legs but moving them around & pushing back. Once you get the hang of it, try further up to around your waist (so keep jigging shaking it about!) [I know it looks stupid but thats the way to start!] then once you get the hang of it, to get faster, lift your legs up, so left up, right up & push then you'll get faster. (If your really stuck, ask a coach at your rink.
Hope this helps!
Anything else, you ask!
