being left footed or right footed wont make a difference at all, it just means you'll start with that foot Ive tried it a couple of times, but its stupidly hard. I found flat land was easier. ride INTO a wall slowly with no brakes, so you do a slight endo. Make sure your body weight is really over the back Then lock the back brake so you rock slightly onto the back wheel, then with your weight still back unlock the brake and pedal backwards. Whilst you're learning be ready to pull the back brake again though If you cant get it, don't beat yourself up over it. Its really hard to master. Akkers is nuts at that sort of thing....
