Did you know that the safest way for a beginner to learn how to skate down steep slopes is for them to roll backwards? No, you do not need to know how to skate backwards to do this! In this video join me and my friend Patty ‪@pattyrollingfree‬ as I teach her to use gravity and her toe stop to control her descent down a gradual hill. We discuss technique, safe stance, and when you would use this essential street and trail skating skill. Don’t be afraid to tackle hills on the trails in your city! Once you can skate forward, you are ready to learn how to safely control your roll downhill!
Questions welcome in the comments!
Thank you to Patty for the Insta360 3x footage used in this video!

Thanks for letting me know! It’s winter here now. I’m going to start a series on what to practice indoors to prepare for outdoor skating in spring though.

Once you get the hang of this method, you can go down any hill with total control!

I’ve been working so hard at this and I still feel terrified and completely unstable.

Small steps!!! You will get it! Find a very small slope, just enough so you feel like you’ll roll backwards if you put your feet parallel. Lunge!! It’s worth the work to get you to a place where you can feel safe and controlled going down slopes on the trail!

Must people don’t, especially for outdoor skating. It can be a lonely sport to learn in that way. Luckily we have so many resources online these days! I’m glad you liked this one!
