Hot Stepping Granny: BACKSKATING - IN THE BEGINNING

It's called One Day by Melchior A. Unless I didn't put end credits, it should be in the end credits at the end of the film. I do that so I don't get my mailbox jammed with requests. But I do have a Podcast channel :) and am planning to put more mixes up there shortly. Without tracklists ;) Rip the track!

I''m hoping to get to Kenny (Moodyman's) next soul skate. The DEMF was held last week-end and I know he was pretty busy this year. I still have the flyer on my fridgerator. A visit to Detroit's on the cards this year for me please God. Granny got her wings back almost LOL

Have you tried 2 pairs of socks in your skates? If there's not much room inside them 2 pairs of thin cotton sox might do. If they're too big. 2 pairs of sports tube sox.. I always carry plasters. Eventually, your feet will get used to the boots rubbing and your skin will harden up a l'il.

yeh i can skate backwards now, but i have a problem as i start to get blisters afta an hour or so

If gaining initial momentum from transition to backwards, again this method is best. But there are no hard and fast rules, try one leg and two (snaked) one might suit you better than the other.

i have been skating for a month now i can do a forward to back transition but i don't know what method to use for moving backwards, can you tell me one,

Easiest way is either to start off by pushing yourself backwards from a wall or rink edge and using the one leg snake method, you could also get a friend to puch you round the rink and use this method. The one leg snake method is easiest to get used to once you are moving. It's slow going at first but you need to be aimng to just be able to move backwards, even if it's slowly. It does take getting used to.

:) And I really am a granny.

Sharp half turn, but it wears down your wheels quick.

now that's one cool granny :)
