My apologies for the quality of the photos. I didn't have anyone to take them for me and I needed a hand to hold the work and a hand to take the photo. I guess my hand was a mite shaky today.
You can see a video of this stitch worked by

 fig 1 with yarn held in front, insert hook from back of stitch, through both loops, out to front
|
 fig 2 yarn over in opposite direction from that which you normally would, grab yarn and pull back through stitch (from front to back) (see fig 2, 3, 4) |
 fig 3 |
fig 3
2 loops on hook |
 fig 5 yarn over, again in opposite direction you would normally go (and different from step 2), just slip hook under the yarn. There are two ways I saw to do this with success.
|
 fig 6 You can sort of turn the hook upwards to grab the yarn securely as in fig 6 |
 fig 7 Or you can angle the hook down and pull through as in fig 7
|
 stitch completed - when you complete the next backwards sc you will better see that it looks the same as the previous row of single crochets |
