Step-by-step instructions

Enter fakie. Land from a 180 or roll backward into fakie from a ramp or bank.
Balance. Keep your weight centered. You can pedal backward or coast.
Exit. Roll out, do a half cab (180) to face forward again, or pivot on the back wheel.

Stay relaxed. Look where you're going (backward). Practice on a gentle slope or after small 180s.
