How to Transition forwards to backwards on inline skates & rollerblades Top Tips for the weaker side

Gareth from Perth asked this excellent question; What tips do I have for helping with the weaker side mohawk transition? https://skatefresh.com/product/how-to... The Intermediate How to Skate Course mentioned (containing a full transitions lesson) can be tested out for free;

Transitions are the intermediate skill that tend to cause the most frustration for skaters. Even on the stronger side, there's a lot of disappointment that it's not faster and that there's hesitation at higher speeds (or stumbles and falls).

For most skaters their weaker side transition is non-existent or feels super clumsy and awkward.
