Try hopping while going backwards, once you have that down for awhile move onto smoothly riding backwards.

Nick Griffin you troll so hard.

Put more weight on your back wheel the front wheel is for stability if you put wieght on it, it becomes unstable so like hep greg said lean back because it keeps you centered and puts weight on the back

Oh ya dont look back when your first trying to het them because that will only make you lose control focus on your scooter

Make sure to land your 180s exactly where you need to, if you're consistently landing off-balance to one side or not rotating the right amount, work on fixing that before worrying about fakies. Once you get that, keep in mind that fakies require much smaller and more precise adjustments to maintain balance than normal riding. The main mistake I see people making is steering entirely with their arms in fakie, and over-correcting too much to ever settle into a nice casual fakie. Steer less with your arms and more with your knees and butt, and make smaller corrections than you think you need to.
