OldFartRides Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Good work. I was worn out after 8 or 10 tries. I’m ten days in riding backwards now. Starting to get semi comfortable with it. It’s scary, challenging, yet addictive at the same time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scubadragonsan Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Yes, riding backward or doing anything on the wheel requires muscles or balancing skills we have never used. How surprised we are to discover some parts of ourselves always been there but left untapped for years. Now that you are able to ride backward, you might want to try one leg backward...even more challenging! Then after mastering one leg backward...try one leg spinning backward... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFartRides Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Smooth. Makes my herky jerky disaster waiting to happen BW riding look toddler like. I will practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawpie Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I made the attempt, fell over hard on my ass and hip, said “never again”. Now I have to try again. Thanks guys. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFartRides Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Yeah, a week ago I rode BW into a picnic table that I had just passed by and hit the concrete. Still a bit tender there. I’m still using a 1” webbing belt for a leash. Saves a lot of wear and tear on the wheel. Best, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
