if your gonna start doing switch spins, start by looking over the shoulder that you spin towards. (if u spin left, look over ur left shoulder) itll make it way easier if you try to start doing switch spins.

just practice and if you dont get it by the end of the season try skating backwards on roller blades and look over your shoulder, its the same idea.

First, stand up. Turn around so your butt is facing the screen. Point your left heel closer to the searchbar than the right, point to the searchbar with your left shoulder, look directly at the searchbar with your eyes. That's a simulation of the stance that you need to ski backwards.
