i tried doing this as a breakdancing move but it can really be useful!

i found another way except it only works with brakes. wen ur on the ground put ur brakes on, hold the back rest up with one hand and push up with the other.

ive been in my chair my whole life and i can usually catch myself if i am fallin backwards...

[jrlebron23]

its all about reflexes i think

[chickenfinger7829]

yea, when i was in second grade i tried going down a hill backwards to see how long i would last, and flipped backwards, and there was no way to know when you would fall down.

i like the fact that you're posting these videos for us wheelchair ridaz - but rarely when you fall back do you have time to reach behind you - usually when you're falling backwards it's unexpected, so you can't reach back with palm down to stop your fall
