Optional May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 2: ice skating, roller skating, in-line skating, or skateboarding?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

At least 15 feet, backward, on two skates. Shorter than the forward version for good reason: skating backward in a pattern is a different skill from skating backward in a line.
