The Backward Skating Stride
Published by TomM On Saturday, April 03 2010 @ 07:54 AM EDT
This is a video from Finland with a good demonstration of the backward stride by pro players, followed by young players striding out with one leg and then doing long strides with good weight transfer. Note the back is straighter in backward skating. Gaston's videos have a great explanation of the backward stride in english.
