riding backwards

[hellerb]

anybody got any tips on riding backwards? i can pretty much already get going backwards but i cant really balance like that for long.

for 1. its called fakie, for 2. just practice..there no magic trick to them that will help you get them in a day, just dont hop around

haha. i can ride backwards. yea dont hop around it looks sketchy. practice a lot and stay centered

something that helped me when i learned them is too look ahead of u like 20 feet, dont look straight down

i've been looking straight down, on a bike or scooter since the 6th grade..
works for me.

i did a 180 down 5 stairs aznd stayed fakie for around 20 metres and then did oppisite 180 back round

wow i can ride fakie like forever and ever and ever cause its a fakie

 

[gazza707]

yea its rly rly easy..

to be honest i learnt fakie when i was watchin matt ogle fakie in his first sponsor vid...

when ur goin backwards move the front tyre left and right slightly if that makes sense and it makes you go straight

What helped me out is just riding up and down my street about 10 times every day for less than a week and you'll have it down in no time ...Just basicly ride fakie when your going somewhere about 10 meters away or whatever and it will be easy in no time !

yea when i do a fakie i just look at the front wheel and dont consintrate on the fakie as much.
