The way I learned is by just riding forward, then without holding onto anything, stopping and leaning backward and just going for it. When I first started I’d immediately fall off by just leaning backward, but eventually built up to have a rev, one rev, then 3 revs etc. just like learning forwards. After I could go back about 10 feet and fall off, I was able to do half a rev back and then continue forward. I just built from there and I learned backwards riding and idling in sync with each other.

dude … shut up w/ the do a search idea, no offense, but its easier not to do a search

now for backwards riding, do it nonchalantly, and idling the same, don’t treat it like something that you have to do … just do it, think its not hard and just go back wards
if it doesn’t work
don’t stress over it just try it a few times, do a few tricks you know and go back to it

Aright, and I just want to say I did search. A LOT and I found this site so I figured I’d post. Which was very helpful
