In this video, I test out the MAGIC SLIDE, HEEL BRAKE, PARALLEL SLIDE and the B STOP to see which stopping method will stop me the quickest.
Please check out my breakdown videos on each individual stopping method.

PARALLEL SLIDE - • How to Hockey Stop on ...
B STOP - • LEARN TO STOP WITHOUT ...
To test out each individual stopping method I first began at the top of a large ledge. By rolling down the ledge I could assume that each attempt would be at about the same speed. I then measured the distance from the bottom of the ledge to the spot where I stopped.
I found that the heel brake and the magic slide were the two most effective methods for stopping. I could stop with control in a reasonable distance.
Thanks for watching.

Vc confia em seus freios? E confiaria num teste conduzido por um patinador experiente a respeito?
Pois bem, Shaun fez um teste muito interessante; descer a mesma ladeira diversas vezes, na mesma velocidade e tentar freiar a partir do mesmo ponto utilizando um freio de cada vez.
. magic slide - precisou se preparar para a postura com antecedência, parada total em 54ft
. B stop - Difícil de acertar em altas velocidades
. Parallel slide - difícil de acertar a postura correta, riscos de quedas, parada total maior que 54ft
. Freio de calcanhar - sem necessidade de assumir postura anterior, parada total em 54ft
Rodas ficaram extremamente gastas.
Em 1o lugar deu empate entre o freoi de calcanhar e o Magic slide. Não desistam do freio de calcanhar, é um freio altamente confiável!
Thank you for adding this. I will pin this at the top for others to see.
Muito bom! Obrigado por resumir/traduzir.
Eu concordo com você, mas troco meu freio, movendo-o mais alto
Valeu, meu inglês ainda não compreende tudo.
My favorite thing about the heel brake is that it makes noise when I'm coming up behind people on the path, so I don't have to say anything to let them know I'm there. Kind of like a bicycle bell.
Okay I get an air horn jk
Great to see some love for heel-brakers like myself. I wouldn't bomb down the asphalt slopes of my Colorado neighborhood without one.......PLUS, I like to make my wheels last as long as possible. Props to all those who can make those beautiful slides though!
Love for all the heel brakers!
i @
Shop Task could not figure the heel brake until I wore enough of it off where I could put all of my weight on it. Basically 2 points of contact, brake and rear wheel for stability (could lift my other leg of the ground if I wanted to). Was able to stop on a dime
@@TheFillyfillyfilly you are so right! It has to be used at least 50%, then you can put the hole weight on one leg :-)
Is there a proper way to engage the heel break? I always feel like im going to slip on the skate thats not breaking and eat shit
I could have stopped sooner. First start down the skinny part. Then I’m sure I would have clipped the grass with either foot then tumbled down the hill, stopping well before the actual path started.
Haha!
Indeed, dive into the grass! :D
The lesson for me is this: skate only on dry, level and smooth surfaces at the speed at which you feel safe.
The world ain't level =P
@@tyrelerickson7147 just gotta learn how to jump, that’ll get you over a lot of stuff lol
Thanks for doing this, the stopping distances including reaction and set up time are... sobering.
There is no instant way to stop. Skaters need to very cautious when skating through unfamiliar places.
Shop Task can you make a tutorial how to use rocker a frame.
Shop Task Yeah! A Few Months Ago.. I Was Skating Fast, I thought I would cross the street quickly.. and This Car suddenly Came fast and stopped hard.. I almost got ran over. I'm very cautious now and also luckily I was wearing a helmet too.😀. Safety First.
There are instant ways to stop, but not likely be uninjured or alive after
@@mlee6050LMAO
Gotta respect the safety of heel brakes even though people bash on , its the safest and most efficient way of stopping thinking about keeping it on when i begin commuting toronto streets until i feel super pro at the powerful stops like power slide and stop and magic stops
Advice: To be comfortable performing the parallel slide/hockey stop at high speeds, don some sliding gloves. At the point you lean, rest your hand on ground to stabilize yourself and bring your knees closer to your chest.
Great idea. I have some long boarding slide gloves that would be perfect.
YES HES BACK! And his facial hair is still looking fine.
Haha! It is good to finally be back.
+1 to both comments!
Thank you. I've been using the parallel slide coupled with the T-stop for my regular braking, but at high speeds I kept falling when executing the parallel slide if I didn't slow down sufficiently beforehand. I now realise I need to redistribute my weight further forwards to avoid falling. Great video as always.
didn't know the heel brake was so effective. I'm new to blading, but have been trying to work on my drag stop before I hit hills. definitely need to practice and wear down my HBs to get more power into the stop.
This is a Great experiment that I also remember doing many years ago (before we had videos on phones or TH-cam) to compare the various stops that I was teaching my students.
I am so pleased to see and hear you say that the Heel brake "truly is a great technique".
I concur and think it is the most under-looked skill in skating and I'm glad to just see you include it in the test, instead of just ignore it like so many other skaters and instructors.
What you call the B-Stop is I think a forward entry to back powerslide and it seems to me once you get to it it works really well and stops you in 2 seconds or so. But if I was to comment anything about it, I think you could get into the B Stop more efficiently by taking away the moment of Magic slide you hit at 5:05. If you left skate were to turn from forwards to backwards quicker than you'd engage the powerslide that much faster and it would stop you quicker....I think. But that's just an idea as you wondered on the video why it wasn't better?
I Love this video though. Great initiative as answers some commonly asked questions. It's pretty crazy how fast you are actually going for all those tests, very impressive skills.
Thanks Asha. The "B Stop" is the name I gave to a drag to forward entry powerslide. A move that Bill Stoppard has perfected.
I agree. My technique on the "B Stop" wasn't very good. I am not sure how I got stuck doing a magic slide in the middle of it.
I'm sure that one you caught on Video was just a flukey weird one, it happens and at that high speed I think the Magic slide got involved because your transition wasn't snappy enough. But hey, it's not easy at the speed you were skating at to do ANY of those slides so I'm not criticising.... in fact I have wanted to do a similar video for years (comparing different stops) but now that I'm injured there are a bunch of things I'm not allowed to do for a while. Makes me realise how many forces are acting on the body during slides and stops. It's the most intense part (physically) of skating.
SkatefreshAsha we missed you at the Madrid ICP course :( I'm also thrilled that Shaun recognized the heel brake as the strongest way to stop. There's definitely heel brake hate out there, especially from skaters who participate in disciplines that it's not right for (like slalom, park, or artistic). Unfortunate because it's such an amazing stopping tool.
Hold up people, the magic slide is by far the fastest way to stop as there is 8 points of contact and with the right commitment he could of stoped in half that distance, i will be uploading my own video to demonstrate how it could of been done
Hey Asha, I watch a tonne of your stuff and just wanted to start by saying keep up the great work - as someone who's purchased several of your courses.
You'll of course correct me if I'm wrong: I learned the forward entry to back powerslide from yourself and it involves a hop - dragging into powerslide or the 'b slide' as shop task calls it keeps all the wheels on the ground at all times - no jumping of any kind.
Lemme know if I got the wrong end here, cheers!
Sliding looks like so much fun can't wait thanks for this tutorial it's exactly what I was looking for.
Great video! It’s a rarely seen scientific comparison of the different types of stops. I think if you apply all 8 wheels to stop like Bill Stoppard, I believe your B stop should stop at the same or maybe even earlier than Magic slide.
glad you 're back mate, always enjoy your videos.
Very good and needed video. Thank you. You really shoud produce part 2 with soul slide, drag stop, drag stop completed with powerslide, and plow stop.
loved the clapping lol that's smtn I don't like, getting ppl's attention specially since I'm a beginner and I don't quite enjoy people staring at me while I fall for the 4th time in 10 mins, I have issues with breaking ...oh well. nice video!
The best stopping comparison on skates on the internet. Would love for you to do another one Shaun!
Awesome stopping technique comparison !! great job Shaun, i am happy to see new video
Thank you, my friend.
I appreciate all your videos ... dont stop posting!
So happy to see you're back. I missed your videos verry much! And i have to thank you so much because of you i bought my first skates in december 16 after such a long time without skating and i love it to skate now. Can't wait for the next video. Greets from Germany
That is fantastic! This is going to be a good summer.
Yay! magic slide. Nice to see your video again.
Yay! So GREAT to have you back! How dare those customers keep you so busy! 😂. Another fab video my friend! 👍
Really great scientific video! I would expect the parallel to be the most efficient one (biggest braking surface in front of the skater's center of gravity), although it is the hardest one to execute. Quite surprised with the results...
excellent movie and tips!! Thanks!
😊😊 not giving up on the heel brake. I feel so much better now, knowing it is good.
Namaste! You are the best! Love watching your all videos!
Great video... So heelbrake comes out 2nd... but after seeing another of your videos, where you show heelbrake into powerstop, makes me think that, this "power heel brake" might be the most efficient emergency brake available on rollerblades... and much more accessible to beginners (like me) than a magic slide... so that's what I want to train to get good at it, unless you've got another advice for some "old" new skater... Namaste, Shaun!
Bro! I'm from the same city you are in! I'm recently getting back into inline, with more emphasis on not relying on my heel brakes. I would love to meet up and skate together! cheers for the video - very helpful.
Shaun great to see you back bud! I personnally after working on a few different stopping techniques seem to favor the drag to power stop. The magic is definitely becoming a close second.
The magic slide has really "clicked" with me. I find that it works well and I enjoy the feel.
Shop Task same same my friend
FINALLY BACK!
Super video! Thanks.
as always good stuff!
Thx you sold me a heel break now for driving urban from a to b. But I'll still practise without a heel break bit freestyle skating.
Thanks for the video! In my opinion, Heelstop is by far the cheapest, most reliable and safe way to stop. You have no preparationtime, you stay in one line which makes it by gar easier to control and you safe a lot of wheels ... and until now i didn't find anyone who can stop faster with any other technique (except driving into a wall maybe 😂) compared to my heelbrake ...
Stay safe and keep on skating 🌞🇨🇭🌞
you have the best tutorials
I'm just 3 months in, I'm still a rookie, but I really love the hill break, I live around hills so I became a hill break pro to slow down on hills. I got really humbled from a stand still fall so I'm in no rush to powerslide yet. Lol
Good to have you back. Ieeeeeei
Hey Shaun, really great video! Please could you explain a little on what you mean by edging out your speed? Thanks man 🙏🏼
I feel you could make the distance on the heel break a lot shorter if you angle the foot that doesn't have a break
Interesting to see the heel brake is so good. Glad I didn't see this vid before buying my first pair without a heel brake lol 😅
Hi again I like your tutorials , the only think is , if you could give us more details about what did you use that would be useful .
Regards
Have you done a video on what goes wrong that causes wipeouts on certain stops and skating in general? If not I would really appreciate one!
Breaking and Turning at the same time is the best way to stop done right you will be facing the way you came from. Really like this video. Every skate should come with the option of a brake. Except aggressive. Do you still have a shop
3:20 "shiuuuujj" 👏👏 thank you thank you!
Is good see you again!!!Always good work and your magic slide is so good congratulations
Tell more about this soulplate please
See you
I just found this channel 2days ago so watching lot of videos from old, mostly the tutorials for beginners etc. What about the "Power Heel"? Would that be possible at this speed to break into with the heel break? Total beginner to skating here, hence watching the tutorials to learn and watch and try and watch again and try again :P
Nice, your magic slides looks so smooth and the haircut is trendy :)
Thank you!
A properly performed parallel slide will be the most effective stopping method, but the learning curve to get to that point is higher. Magic slide is a close second, but it's more reliable in a broader range of conditions and one is less likely to slide out or high side, so it's generally better for open road freeride. Technically, snow plow should be third, followed by soul, powerslide, heelbrake and t-stop. Though, I cannot recommend powerslide for high speeds, as it limits one's options for maneuverability once in the slide and doesn't exactly have a smooth or stable entry over a certain speed.
Your magic slide looks quite good, by the way.
Sick! I've been waiting on the next video. Bought a pair of FR1s on Ebay for 95 bucks and have been watching shoptask + all of Bill Stoppard videos I can get my hands on to up my game. I practice 2-4 hours a day since I got the FR1s 2-3 weeks ago and have been getting frustrated hitting plateaus in my skill level. Been delaying going city skating due to my inability to stop in the amount of time I would feel comfortable. My version of stopping is basically taking my forward momentum and turning it into lateral momentum or basically doing a circle to stop. Guess I need to hammer out stops at an outdoor hockey rink/parking lot. Namaste.
Thanks for the tip. I have one that is about 20 min away that is usually vacant.
You're a fucking genius. I live right by one that no one rarely uses!
Don't get frustrated. I practiced daily for 2-3 hours and it had taken me two months to learn to do certain skills more or less decent. It is just how long it gets to build up the coordinated muscle movement and right brain network to fire them. Now I do them with ease, but 2 months ago it felt like something virtually impossible. Keep on practicing.
Thanks for the encouragement. I go through cycles of learning then stagnation and some days I have to realize that it takes a lot more practice to get decent at something. I'm happy with how far I've come, but I am humbled by the fact that I still have so far to go.
Tennis courts are amazing places to practise. A spin stop is a great way to control speed.
Well, nice, but what about those spin turns, etc? just beginning myself, slight arches for starters ... and really feel more comfortable controling my speed with turning than with the heel brake (for which I assume i need more confidence on single blade).
LOVE your HAIRcut! wow, so Handsome!!
Hey Flow Skate! I have been skating for a few years now, and I bought my first pair of blades over the holiday season.
I love my FR2 80s, and they are an awesome pair of boots / trucks / wheels.
I would love to hear from you regarding the pros vs cons of using hard vs soft wheels.
I enjoy speed, but want to have the ability to stop on a dime when I need to. I have been experimenting with a stomping motion when I stop. any advice on gear is much appreciated!
Thanks!
Take aways: heel breaking is OK, stopping takes distance. For myself, always have an escape plan, either stop, if necessary in the grass, change direction or lengthen the path swerving. I use the plow a lot to swerve an stop.
But may consider now a heel brake again seeing your results
Great stuff. Aside from lacking general skill, the cost and effort to change wheels has been our excuse not to practice this more. Keep up the great content.
That was just great! The only way to understand the difference between different techniques through youtube is to actually AB-compare them. Learned a lot from watching this. Also, at 4:10 that looked scary, but glad to know you're wearing knee pads ;)
The new skate setup looks cool btw!
Thank you. I am really into the Seba FRs again. There is a noticeable difference in performance when going from a carbon fibre skate to a plastic skate.
Shop Task Do you prefer the plastic FR? I'll be honest, I always thought carbon was superior to plastic in every way but since I have never tried a carbon skate I can't speak from experience :)
nice!
Thank you for your videos..I'm 50yrs old & have just started inline skating (been skating for a week now),to add to my fitness regime...But,"OH BOY!" I have took on a lot of bumps and bruises.I'm in New Orleans &,there is NOT a skate store here other than Dick's or Academy.So if you are new to skating here.You are pretty much on your own.We (New Orleans)don't even have a skate park..But we do have running tracks that you can skate on..However,I was on a running track yesterday &,came up to a hill &,caught pure hell trying to get up it.. Then when I thought it was the END trying to climb that thing.Then it was time to come down.I tried to stay low & keep my feet together.But the speed wouldn't let me &,when I tried to stop that wasn't happening either.Couldnt scissor to use the heel brake and,when I tried to do the T stop..I bit the dust big time...Can you do a video on how to climb a hill.. I will be back on my skates once I heal a little bit..Thumbz Up Brother.
Inspiring! Learning to skate can be intimidating. Sounds like you are on the right track.
When climbing hills first orient yourself to the pitch of the slope by look up the hill and tilting your hips forward. Your feet will open up so that the angle between them is greater than 90 degrees and use the center and inside edges.
I will eventually dedicate an entire video to climbing hills. In the mean time you can check out- th-cam.com/video/eOYv49FLSOE/w-d-xo.html there are a few tips in this video.
I started skating a year ago and still can do none of these beautiful slides. This April I bought Seba FRX so now I have to rely on T-stop, plow stop and slalom turns instead of a heel brake with which I felt I could go anywhere. But most of all I rely on being cautious, especially in new places. Thank you for your thorough research of different stopping techniques.
Thank you. Slides are a bonus but not very useful in most situations. Sounds like you have the based covered with your techniques.
except for the outside edges - my left foot often glides on the inside edge. When I see skilled skaters I realize that all of them use outside edges when skating straight. Well, I'm trying to control it.
It’d be interesting to see how the snow plough does. A basic beginners stop, but effective if the wheels are at a steep angle to the vertical. But this does confirm how crappy stopping on inlines is. I wonder too how it compares to stopping on a push bike from a given speed.
I want to get some frs. I have no idea what size. Did yiu say they were a 40 shell? If so as a uk 7 ill need to go smaller
Hi man i need help please. I was rotating wheels and when I finished I went on a ride and when i landed a jump it did kind of a clap sound. Can i repair it? please answer. ☺
Welcome back homie
Thanks, brother.
Hello. Just a couple of questions. How often should you rotate your wheels when using them every day and how often should you change them? Also what is your favorite brand of inline skates for all-around performance? Thank you!
I would rotate my wheels after every 6 hours of use. The wheels should last about 3 months of everyday use but this will vary depending on your weight and the quality of the wheel. My favourite brand of skates are Seba. Rollerblade, Flying Eagle, Powerslide all make great skates.
Thank You!
Hi all, Can we have the tutorial about: soul slide, drag stop, drag stop completed with powerslide, plow stop and any other high speed stops available. Cheers
Hey, nice haircut man! :)
Thank you. My wife cuts my hair. Lucky for me, she is the best hairdresser in Calgary.
so im a trying t get into skating but dont know what kind of skates to buy im looking for skates to have fun on the street/roads and for the skate and wheels to be comfortable any skate suggestions? i dont have much to spend on them though so affordable suggestions would be nice great video love the beard
Once again a great video, likewise with Ricardo Lino, we can feel how much you enjoy skating and that's really nice.
Can you use all type of wheels to practice slides or is there a specific hardness which is the best?
The harder the wheels, it's easier to slide. Ideally they should be at least 84A or harder.
Any good wheels is perfectly suitable for practicing slides. A harder wheel will make it easier to release the wheels and start the slide, however technique is much more important than the hardness of the wheels.
Well, as someone who is practicing my first slides, and have switched from 78A, to 80A and now using 82A, I can tell you that when learning, their hardness can make a big difference. Of course someone who dominates the technique can make slides no matter the duro, but I wouldn't recommend soft wheels for a beginner to learn that technique...
Its been a long time since I skated, and I was keen on removing the heel brake immediately and just go for t stop or plow stop, but then I read that wheels eat out super fast. Somehow I never noticed this as a kid. Watching this, Im gonna reinstall the heel brake, I dont want to have to change my wheels that often. Im only skating recreationally, so I dont mind looking "uncool"
Very interesting video. The only thing is that you I think you need to take average number and not minimal, it would be more representative.
When in doubt, i use the grass stop. Lol 😄
Welcome back, Bearface (my humble nickname for you if you don't mind since I your name is unknown to me).
Okay, the heel brake to me has only the added advantage of stretching out wheel life. Regardless, its scraping sound, with all the uncomfortable 'ultrasound' of a dentist drill, puts me off as a stopping technique. The best technique is the Magic slide in my opinion. Even according to legendary urban skater Greg Mirzoyan on the Rollerblade channel, they are suitable for emergencies.
I hear that a lot from people who don't know how to use a heel brake. :D The heel brake is the most powerful braking tool. It provides the most stability with the least impact on your body. It's suitable at all speeds, and is unbeatable in a stopping race, as Shaun demonstrates (and which I've demonstrated through a stopping race with the shop-task employees in Toronto). And you can either make it silent (by gently, progressively pressuring it), or make it squawk loudly (with loads of pressure), which can be used as a "mini-horn" to let people know you're there. There are times that they're not good though, like if you skate slalom, hockey, figures/dance, or skatepark. For city street skating, distance, and even for speed, the heel brake is unbeatable for stopping.
Your videos are always great man. But why no soul slide? I know it's easier and some might say not a real slide but it's my preferred method of stopping on my skate commutes. I like it because I can be looking forward the entire time, I can really control the amount of pressure to stop fast or more reserved and it's not so much of a trick. Would be awesome to have parallel and magic slides down like you but they have more of a trick nature to them and since I'm commuting to get to work I'm not trying to get broke off on anything haha. Soul slide best slide for my commuting for sure. Anyways great video sweet slides.
Soul slides are great and it is the perfect set up for a magic slide. I do use a soul slide to check speed and feel out a surface for slides.
I miss the soul in this comparison too, as well as the drag alone.
Since it includes the heal brake, it would make sense to compare it to the most simple, yet effective, stops. Maybe on another video?
Looking back at this video. I should have used a grass stop and a drag stop to make a more complete comparison. I choose the magic slide, parallel slide, heel brake and the b stop because I had previously made videos on those techniques.
Shop Task How About T-Stop?
Walter Palacios, Bavmorda, I have a lot of experience with t-stop at high speeds and in comparison to other riders using other methods. It's one of the most ineffective stopping methods that one can use, BUT it's consistent, reliable, requires zero setup and no room left to right, and is relatively easy to learn.
Hi Shaun! Can you run this comparism again 2020 version?
CN u suggest best bearings for speed skating
Although my drag-stop is decent enough with either foot to use for everyday skating, when I'm doing San Francisco's hills, I like the extra security a heel-brake provides!
Agreed. On those crazy San Fran hills, you need a reliable brake.
These blue-white rollerblades behind you - what company and model are they?
I never did the parallel slide because of the nasty wheel wear. I would always be ready to turn hard or semi slalom hard to slow down and stop without wearing my wheels down much. I can't really explain how I would stop but it worked for me, lol. Besides, small aggressive wheels were easy to stop with back then.
Love your videos! by the way, where are you located?
Hey Jason. Thank you for the nice comment.
I am located in Calgary Alberta. Our shop address is 112 10A Street NW. We also have shops in Vancouver, Seattle and Toronto.
What wheel hardness do you use for braking like that?
EDIT: never mind, you said it in the video. Lol
i need a three wheel skate. tell me the best and how much pliz
Nicely done and pleasant to watch! However you didn't test the most important break - powerslide. I believe it should give best results since it doesn't require much setup like other spots. Also the B-Stop, the only sure way of knowing how it performs is to get mr B himself out there and have him test it :P Would love to see you guys skate togather
Agreed, I need Bill to try my braking test course. I will have to go back and give a powerslide a try.
Comparatively, powerslide is one of the worst choices for stopping at high speeds.
I love how bill mixing slowing and breaking techniques. In one of his vid he drags first, than makes a couple of extra fast small soul slides w alternating legs and finally stops w parallel slide. This sounds really practical to me, good enough and safe in a lot of situations. Still practicing the middle part…
insane
Another great video. It would've been nice to see a straight up T Stop in comparison to the other techniques, although I think you already did enough damage to your wheels. Lol xD
I ruined my wheels on this day.
That sound of the wheel brake is scary haha.
Yep your awesome...
THAT looks to you like a damaged wheel?
Dude, you'd have a heart attack if you saw the wheels I've been rolling on these past two weeks xD
I switched out my old wheels when the metal part wasn't covered by the gel anymore
All these look great- on a nice smooth surface- concrete, etc. Most any skating I do (other than practice) is going to be on chunked up (W. Pennsylvania) asphalt much worse than most I've seen even in city skating vlogs by Bill Stoppard, etc. I guess rolling out or extreme slaloming is the only way for these surfaces? I guess I need to see some of these techniques tried on really bad roads.
William Latinette have you tried using harder wheels?
Slaloming is always a great technique regardless of surface. On rough stuff, it is really easy to get caught in a crack when attempting a slide. It is possible to use drag stops.
Harder wheel 100% make it easier to slide on rough surfaces.
I have not used anything harder than about 87A. Being 'beaten to death' by vibration is not something I'm looking forward to... It's pretty bad already. Guess I'm going to need to 'tough it up'...
I can attest, even the asphalt in E. Pennsylvania is chunked up. I still use my heel brake (along with T-stops and some powerslides)
Same here in Guadalajara. I usually T-stop to slow myself and then B stop so I don't mess that much with my wheels.
Hi first time watching your videos and I was wondering what is a good skates for some one getting back in to skating
+A C FR with Intuition liners are my top recommendation for someone getting back into skating. I am 99.9% sure you will love them.
Thanks for your reply and what was the skates called that you said? Na mas day
I haven't skated in years but recently have tried to do it again but my feed go flying sometimes and then my back jerks and messes my balance up. Help? :(
I think I've learned how to stop more proficiently without grinding your wheels. I have skated in a hot minute but I'll have to hop back on em and see exactly how I do it.
Yeah! Magic slide is the most STABLE stoping technique on high speed.
Pararel Slide is okay. Easy to execute. But it took forever to stabilize the pararel slide!
What about applying TWO heel brakes at the same time? Will the braking be more efficient?
And what about putting two brakes in FRONT and applying the brakes like quad skates? I am pretty convinced that the brake efficiency will be much better.
I think it'd be very difficult to create stability. Normally you'd use one leg for stability so you can put your force into the one with the break.
*7:12** pardon?!* 😏
😂
Hell Brake + drag is the fastest stop.
No slide or powerstop or whatever has the same advantages:
-super easy
-stable
-very fast, no setup
-I can do that on any surface (rough/cracked road doesn't matter)
(if you are going very fast, you can skip the drag, if there is enough room, so your wheels dont get flatspots)
What learn from this video. Heel brakes give you more or less the same distance and also you don't risk damaging your wheels/bearings.
Can I Do This B- Stop And Magic Stop On inline skates? or it has to be the type of skates for slalom? like the ones you have?.. (not sure if the skates you have on are for slalom, still don't know, not sure...)
There is no specific type of skate that is required to do the B-stop or Magic. It helps to have a supportive boot.
question: how on earth do you go up stairs when city skating? i want to skate to college because i'll have a longer journey then than i do now and want try and be a bit more healthy. i've never really city skated before so i have no idea when it comes to stairs etc :/
Keep your weight totally on the front (you don't want to fall backwards, exaggerate this all you can), do every step with some strength, like you 'kick' the bottom of the next, and always keep your feet looking outside, making a V shape.
Hi Lauren, I thought I replied to your comment when it first appeared... Anyway, Bill Stoppard's channel Pinto Pony Productions has a video called Inline Skataing Up Stairs Tutorial. Have you seen it?
Are these FR intuition skates that you're using have the same shell of an FR1 nowadays? I mean my MP is 266cm so is the Euro size 40 will work for me as ur feet are 270cm, I don't want to purchase oversea the wrong size :(
What size did you go with?
@@chilli-iceolive-abode2447 hello dear, I didn't purchased them yet, next month hopefully! I'll get size 40 or the intuition that come with same shell 7 size 40.5-41.5 now for the regular FR1 size 40 EU it gonna be a very hard break in with a lot of pain, especially the first few sessions until about 10+ hours of skating them for someone to start enjoy them, but with some pain still until about 2 months to reach the perfect confortable snug fit, or performance fit. So if you're not into suffering a lot to reach the perfect fit, then get the intuition version of the same shell number 7, which is (40.5 to 41.5) if you skate a lot several hours per day, then if you get the regular one with the bigger shell size 8 then you will end up soon after less than a month or max 2 months with a boat shell, as the regular shell nb 8 is combining 2 sizes 41 and 42, and the stock liner is very tight in the beginning but FR liner tend to pack a lot with time, that's only if you have normal or medium feet and they don't exceed 266 cm if you measure both feet correctly against a wall, every 1 or 2 mm count, wish you the best, and hopefully you will enjoy ur new skates soon, any question let me know, as I searched a lot about the size of these skates, and people with same feet size that purchased size 41 or 42 end up with a very big size for their feet, and very few that know about how skates should fit are very happy with their purchase even with the hard and tough break in period, and of course ur feet width should not exceed 10.5 cm
Long time. No see
