Backside
You can do almost every trick backside, but the easiest of them all is the plain old backside grind. This is only just a little more difficult than the...
When you approach the obstacle, it is even more important that you spot the place where you want to land. Practise jumping up and down on steps or something like that first, and be sure that you have it every single time. As I mentioned before, you can do a lot of tricks backside, – just to mention a few: Backside unity, royale, fahrvergnugen, backslide, and fahrvergnugen.
When you backside grind, you have to remember, that you need to approach the obstacle from the other direction to get the same position.

If ur a begginer you should ALWAYS land this trick with you feet spread and you knees bent slightly if u do not heed this you will find yourself on your ass at 2 feet from where u started.

This trick is easier if you are right hander, since your leading foot is left. Anyways, whenever i jumped to rail (square 3") to do this trick, i couldnt slide. If you are having same trouble that i had, try going faster and landing on a right spot of ur in-line. PS. you can do this by just completely standing up : ) like this

a UFO, in case one acquiested to require such, is almost exactly like a Frontslide, except you would bend your knees inwards, rather than straight in which Frontsliding is 100% easier. It is also known than at the dawn of aggro inline, sk8ers doing UFO's would bend their knees so much that they would touch the rail. You're welcome.

Practice brings all the comfort and skill. A confident mental state is always good too.
I was scared of backsides for a long time because I couldn't see much. They aren't nearly as bad as you think they'd feel. It's the same as a frontside. Just make sure to lean at an angle away from the ledge.
Also, it helps to come in parallel. Coming in at an angle just makes it awkward.

just get right over the rail or ledge, and bam, ur there. if you dont get over it, you can’t land backwards. oh, and back banana nugens look sweet.
