How to Throw Things Backwards in Mario Cart Wii

Nintendo's "Mario Kart Wii" is a highly competitive game in which famous characters from Nintendo's Mario franchise battle and scheme in a frantic go-cart race to the finish line. During a race, players can make use of items meant to enhance their abilities or slow down other players. Since you are never explicitly shown how, throwing things backwards can be somewhat confusing to figure out.
