How to TRANSITION from forwards to backwards skating - Front to back, open book | ROLLERSKILLZ

In this tutorial, I show you how to transition from forwards to backwards skating using an open book transition technique (also known as mohawk turns) :D. This has been a highly requested video, so I hope this breakdown helps to make it click for you. Transitions can be tricky so remember to be patient, be kind to yourselves and persevere!

Hi 🙂
New skater here and thanks for the defined tips. Also as I'm learning this move I was taught to practice without skates on and use a long stick of sorts for your center, and practice going from one side to the other. This also helps you to not drag your skates.
After you feel more comfortable try it with your skates.
Happy skating 💕🛼💕🙂

Like how you break this down and tell us to take it gradually. This will help me eliminate the drag of the other foot. 2 days off for the rink next week, and I will be practicing.

Thanks for the demonstration on the two weight transfer segments. How do you prevent yourself from curving into a loop during the middle when the two skate a facing in opposite directions. Thanks from a beginner !
