  2. 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 seriously do a search. its what its there for. i got hounded for
    doing dtuff like this aswell. but with riding backwards just push away
    from a wall and try ur best
    its all u can do. also with idleing its simply practise makes perfect

    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
