    Did not think i could until i saw a video of myself walking.

    Did not notice it at first and had to rewind the video to spot it.

    I have been known to moonwalk occasionally, but not often.

    Answer me this: Can you skip? As in skip down the road. You'd be surprised the amount of people who can't. :pac:

    If by skipping you mean tripping over yourself and grazing your knee and having to get a plaster on it that is.:pac:

    Oh! I saw a guy running backwards all the way along merrion square/mount street towards Ballsbridge a few months back. Rather odd. He nearly fell over a car. :D

    Hmmm. Are you sure you weren't reversing the car?

    I run backwards while warming up for a game of football. Great for warming up the quad muscles.

    I want to practise jogging backwards just so I can overtake female joggers while winking and saying "how you doin"

    Does running backward not undo all the calories you burned running forward?

    We had a school sports day when I was in primary school.

    Our headmaster was a notorious drinker and by the end of the day we knew it wasn't water he had been sipping from his sports bottle.

    There was one set of medals left when all the events were finished so he came up with the idea of a backwards race.

    I still have that gold medal somewhere.
