1. How to skate backwards when skating
If you want to learn to skate backwards, you must first adjust your center of gravity and maintain your body's balance. Then practice turning. When sliding, your right foot and left foot should be at right angles to the right. At this time, the body must maintain balance. Follow up with the left foot. At this time, the left foot should be turned in the direction of the backward slide and the right foot should be corrected. For the reverse sliding direction. Note that for some beginners, it is best to hold on to the wall or support and slowly find the feeling. This is also safer. When learning, you can practice turning and sliding backwards. When sliding, start sliding in an S shape. It may be possible at the beginning. I can't slide it well, I don't have experience, but I can slowly get the feeling that I can do it.
2. The equipment for skating backwards must fit properly
When participating in skating, it is very important to have suitable equipment. The first thing is skates that fit your feet. Choose the type and size of skates that suits you, adapt to and learn in a relatively open place for a period of time, and be able to skate by yourself. You must learn several ways to stop. Check whether the blade of the ice blade is severely worn to prevent weakness and side slipping on the ice. When wearing skates, the laces in the first two or three buttonholes can be slightly loose, and the laces in the back should be tightened so that the ankle does not shake in the shoe.
3. The center of gravity is very important when skating backwards
When standing, stand with your feet slightly apart and about shoulder width apart, with your toes slightly turned outward to form a small figure eight, and your legs slightly bent. Lean your upper body slightly forward and look forward. The body's center of gravity should be pressed smoothly onto the blade through both feet, and the ankle joints should not fall inward or outward. When gliding, you should lean over, bend your legs, and keep your center of gravity forward. In this way, even if you slip, you will fall forward and not your tailbone. The most common problem for beginners is to stand upright while sliding, causing the center of gravity to become unstable and fall. If this happens, stand sideways and support the ground with your hands to reduce the impact. Also avoid hitting your head on the ice.
4. When skating backwards, don’t stay long if you fall to the ground
After falling, kneel on the ice immediately and get up slowly. If you cannot get up in time, you must be protected by a partner. , when you are unaccompanied, you should monitor the movements of people around you to prevent accidental injuries caused by collisions with others. Never lie down or sit on the ice for a long time, as skate blades may poke the torso and head of others while skating, causing injuries. How to skate backwards 2
