7 Most common mistakes when skating backwards

Asha Kirkby from Skatefresh Virtual Skate School identifies the 7 most common mistakes that she sees with backward skaters of all ability levels. The problems identified here affect beginner backward skaters as well as intermediate and advanced level backward skaters and often one problem or mistake then causes another. This means that if you can fix one problem it will help you to correct others.

Can you identify which of these mistakes you are making? Ask a friend to film you so you can see what's happening.
