one of the very first things I was told when training to be a ref was not to backpedal. A ref told me he had a huge fall doing it and it was a big crowd.
Of course, I do it but only briefly and when I got space. ex- I'm lead and then other team gets it and I'm trail and ball is stolen, a few backpedals and I'm lead again. no biggie. but that's about it.
