The premise of the backward to forward turn is similar to the forward to backward turn. It is yet again 3 basic motions you have to achieve to turn successfully. However the actions themselves are opposite to the previous move. Do note that instructions for this move are based on the assumption the previous move was attempted.

 Watching the video closely, at the time of the turn, you lift the poi higher than your shoulder. At its highest trajectory, you swing it behind your shoulder and start to turn. You allow the poi to complete the circular motion behind your back, while turning, and at its highest trajectory again, you swing in forward in the forward rotation manner completing your turn.

 To re-iterate:

1.  Lift your poi higher than your shoulders, poi to start going over your shoulder at the highest trajectory. Start to turn.

2.   Complete a turn behind your back, above your shoulders. Continue turning.

3.   End up in the opposite direction from when you have started. Make sure that you are doing the forward rotation now.
