Wheels not connected to the power train should be able to rotate either direction.

The skater "acts" on the wheels attached to the skates, causing momentum. This momentum causes an "unbalanced force" that acts with the same amount of force, but in the opposite direction of the skater. The skater acting on the skate wheels produces an equal net force in the opposite direction, which keeps the skater moving.
