Skating backwards takes many forms but this is probably the most familiar as it's used by slalom skaters to travel through their line of cones. It involves crossing and uncrossing your feet whilst keeping your skates on the ground. Once you've mastered it you can start using the rhythm and technique to build into backwards crossovers.

This is the website of Matthew Denner, a UK based inline skating instructor. If you're looking to start skating, or improve your current skills, you should take a look around to see what I have to offer.

I try to make my courses goal oriented, whether that is being part of the larger street skating community, or just getting a number of skills that combine well together. I cater for all skill levels, from complete beginner through to competent skaters. When teaching private lessons I treat you as an individual, catering for your abilities and learning rate. And with those courses and lessons my students get their own students area page with access to notes, tips and drills.

For information on the lessons and courses I teach, or advice on skating in general, please feel free to use the contact form.
