How do you use pies backwords?

[Cool Pancake akaFlip]

I have never been able to figure out how to make my pies go backwords. They only go forward. I always see other people shooting them back at me though.

i think if you press the down arrow key and release it it will go backwards. That's worked for me before. However, the last few times I've tried it, the pie goes forward, and because I pressed to go back, my speed went down. i don't try that anymore lol.
Off topic: HA! funny thread...

To throw a pie backwards, there has
to be someone very close behind you.
Otherwise it will go forward no matter
how far ahead the next person is. It
doesn't have to do with anything such
as pressing a certain key.

I agree, and say that with thousands of races behind me.
