How to stop on inline skates / rollerblades - 3 stops for beginners tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 พ.ค. 2024
- In this video I will give you a breakdown of three stopping techniques on inline skates / rollerblades that I think are suitable for the beginner skater to learn. Or indeed any level of skater if you have not tried them before.
These are what I refer to as the drag stop, the basic powerstop and the powerslide.
These are the three techniques I taught myself when I started skating three years ago and these breakdowns are how I learnt them. It is not very long ago that I was still learning so I can remember what it was like trying to stop and some of the problems I had. I hope this tutorial will help you out!
Please note though I am not a skate instructor. These are just my ideas on how to learn but I hope you find them useful.
This is not the definitive guide on how you must stop! There are lots of different techniques and variations out there. I would always encourage people to check out other guides and tutorials, whether that is here on TH-cam or with your local skate instructor.
Note: Sometimes these stops are called different names, for example the drag stop is also called the L stop and T stop. And the powerstop and powerslide are sometimes inter changeable. Confusing I know!
If you have any questions leave them in the comments and as always I will do my best to answer them.
Happy stopping!

A common question I get asked is 'will these techniques wear the wheels out quicker?' The simple answer is yes they will. However, if you make sure to alternate your feet and also rotate your wheels often your wheels will generally last just fine. I've been using these techniques since I started skating and I've never worried about the wear on the wheels. If it does worry you then don't use these techniques, simple! Thanks for watching.
Great tutorial, thanks!
Will these work on the quad roller?
Me practices on carpet at home
Glad you talked about it
Big fan from India
Who else is watching this while skating cause you can't stop
Omg I hate it when that happens! I literally died because I ran out of pavement before falling into the ocean.
Guess I shoulda read the tutorial.
same, I've been skating for 8 days and 21 hours now, I can't stop, somebody please help
Me fr fr
My eyes: it is quite easy
My feet: you are wrong.
Brain: turn your foot
Feet: DO A FLIP
@@fl8818 LOL
Asphalt: oh, Hi there!
@@michaelandreasen993 kkkkkk
I STG I CANT DO THEM
I literally cannot thank you enough, I skate in a skating rink and the way I used to stop was just ramming into the wall
No worries. Thanks for watching buddy!
I like to imagine your profile picture is what you look like when you try to stop with a wall lol
@@yuelia9937 youd be absolutely right
@@peterparkersass Well you aren't the only one XD
Lmao, same just full on bashing into a wall or if I planned ahead enough, not gaining speed and just going slow until i got to an exit XD
I remember roller blading with no fear as a kid. I didn’t know how to stop but I’d go full speed down massive hills. But as an adult I’m terrified to get back on my skates. Thanks for the video
You can bounce back from major injury as a kid easily. As an adult you better not sleep with your head turned the wrong way. 😩
Same, I see to do a paper round on skates, down a really steep hill, nope problems then.
Trying to skate 30years later, nah!
@@samanthab3292 hahahaha
Kids visualize success and aren't overwhelmed with the idea of getting hurt. Me: visualize ALL the ways I could die.
I naively bought skates recently. I did it without second thought when I was young, so I figured a bit of a refresh course and I'd be right back out there. Hell no, I truly feel like an old man on these skates lol. All the extra pounds I've gained over the years don't help either. It feels like these skates want to shoot from underneath my body. And now if I fall, it's a much longer way down than back in the day hahaha. But screw it, I'll keep practicing
So I'm not supposed to dive into the grass?
bruh
XD
You are when you see a car coming
Pro tip: Concrete stops you faster than grass does
Lmfaoooooo 😂🤣😂🤣
Using that method is an *emergency* stopping procedure.
AAA, I so need this. Just bought rollerblades. Can't go down the hill. Good thing - grass is next to the path, that's how I stop now :)
Lollll
Yea i just run into a wall
@@grimreaper5588 lmaoo same or if I'm outside I run into the grass
Haha I do the same thing
#grassbrake 😂
Lucky you! I had no protection and ended up falling pretty bad when I went to the down the hill. I strongly recommend to use protective equipment.

He litterly already posted time stamps
@@gabrielvasquez9226 but not clickable ones. This comment is just for ease and convenience.
thank you 🌼🌼
He should pin this
Needs more likes
So many people tried to explain powerstop but this guy nailed it everything so much on point and easy he is a shifu in inline skating teaching
Thanks alot!
it confuses me how there are so many positive comments on othrr much crappier not enuf detailed vids
@@danhle1032 If you're learning you don't have the tools to judge YET, so you might blame yourself for your failure to learn. I know I do this. His video is extremely good. I often had to pause other videos but in his video there is already a lot of slow motion and he knows exactly when and where to pause as if he himself was learning. This is gold! I think it is the best tutorial I've seen so far.
I've been rollerblading for 15 years now but I've never learned these ESSENTIAL techniques. How, you ask? Toronto's Harbourfront trail is just perfect, an almost straight line whether you go East or West, so you don't need to learn these MOST IMPORTANT techniques, I just skate to the grass and stop. I learned something where I turn 360 a few times until I stop, but this is no way to do it. I have to say I also never fell (fear of falling keeps me from learning).
💯agreed!👍🏼
as a guy who's been skating for over 10 years i have one tip to give to new skaters. if you are found in a situation when you are rolling at high speed do not use the 1st technique due to it beeing around relying on balance. even for a exprienced blader you could easily brake hard enough to throw you out of balance and land face first.
Which should I use then?
Yeah same question , what should i use?
@@alphaelkdmt3525 use the left and right rolling around up untill you are in a comfortable speed to stop with that technique. i wouldn't write this unless i have experienced this effect on my own body. i was going around 30mph on a downhill and had to quickly stop at a halt and i did the same technique as i use for close scenarios in the city(1st) and the balance shifted from the ground upwards on my body and it was like i was beeing catapultet at a medium distance across the road. luckly i used my hands to fall and no major injury came but it happens even to the most experienced ones
@@pedrosoto9568 reply above bro💪
When rolling at really high speeds like Down hill or your going really fast I would use the first option but if you were going downhill I would snow bored stop it is kinda easy to learn tho
Did these naturally 20 years ago, and now my body seems to forgot all of it. This vid helps a lot. Thanks mate.
You'll soon get the hang of it again. Welcome back to skating!
You are not the first "how to stop" tutorial I have watched, but you are, by far, the BEST. It is clear that you put a lot of thought, effort, and work into this tutorial, and I am so grateful. I will bookmark this. Thank you so much. This was fantastic.
Thanks for watching.
yeah, completely agree. new favourite instructor!
Great, detailed breakdowns of these moves! Thank you! Being unable to stop reliably has been my biggest hurdle as a new skater.
Thank you! Once you are able to stop with confidence you will never look back! Good luck.
Best tutorial on YT for stopping on inline skates. I appreciate that you are a relative newcomer to the sport and have not lost your beginner's perspective on technique (although you have advanced far beyond it). For the power stop, I like that you showed how to slowly progress around a cone before attempting the actual stop. 'Preciate it bud.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your positive comments. Cheers buddy!
I agree! Out of all my research on inline skate stops, this video is the best so far.
These are some advanced moves. Thank you for sharing.
I would not use a cone like 3 years ago I almost lost my eye using a cone.
This is a great video mate, obvious you put a lot of time into it.
Thank you. It did take alot of hours to put this one together! So its great to hear you liked it. Makes it all worthwile. Cheers.
Wow! You joined TH-cam in early 2006! Congrats on your 14 year old account :D
I'm a beginner skater, I started skating yesterday
@@Nnavy14 bro ur one year late XD dont copy me
@@Nnavy14 i started blading 8 days ago and im really fast but my dad to fast
Incredibly helpful. Stopping is the one ability I need if I want to roll around with any speed in urban areas, so I've been researching the skill heavily. You described the deep feel-based learning experience needed to master this skill and you've given me a very clear route to practice. Thank you!
Yes learning to stop is very important if you want to roll the city. I'm glad my video has helped. Thanks alot for watching!
tysm. i never liked using the back break on my right foot because it just seemed to scary and gave me anxiety before stopping.
Thanks for watching. 🙏
lol i think these r too scary.
Kristin na i just dont like the sound
Honestly i hate the back brake, it makes me uneasy and unbalanced so im really glad i found this vid
Mine don’t even have breaks
Two years in...and I've finally decided to start learning this move. Nice tutorial.
Thanks alot for watching!
Trying so hard to look like a beginner who trips into his own foot.😂😂
Nice video.
Your tutorial's amazing man. You even gave a demo of fail executions of the techniques. \m/
Cheers buddy. Thanks for watching!
Yes that's a winner - to show what are the most common mistakes. Great break down of all the moves and "not to do"-moves - 100% agreed
I love it! Finally braked after going fast, instead of slamming my head into the asphalt lol.
That's awesome!
His roads:smooth
My roads:there are no words to describe the road infront of our house
india?
I saw a video the other day about a guy in Africa who skates. He doesn't have off-road skates, just big wheels, like 125s or something, but he just goes at it like a nutter & blasts over rocks and stones, dust and all sorts. He seems to have an unerring eye for the best skating surface in any alleyway or dirt track road. Amazing stuff.
London suburbs are horrible
@@samwayne9000 same in Birmingham too. The roads are just horrific.
@@Skiamakhos where do you go to skate? I’ve been going in some car parks but it’s always a hit and miss
you can tell he's really skilled and that he knows what he's talking about I think this is such an amazing video and probably a lot of work and time is put into it and it needs to be way more bigger than it is it isn't appreciated enough I love skating and I have inline skates inline speed skates I've been using this way to stop but it's not the best where I put my feet into each other straight or bend my feet awkwardly
Awesome! I'll try this out today! I love how you keep saying "don't worry about this" if you trip or fall, haha!
Hope it helps you out.
Fantastic video! I'm Re-learning how to blade after 20 years as a healthier alternative to get to work. The detail in every step is exceptional, plus having the "skip-to" time for each section right at the beginning is a nice touch! No long-winded BS, every second is valuable knowledge. This is the format EVERY video of this nature should be on TH-cam! Great job, and thank you!
Glad you found this vid useful 👍
thank god i thought i would never stop i was rolling for over an hour!!
The power slide looks like something you would do in an anime tbh,it looks epic lemme try!
I love how you break it down so much and show all the different things that might go wrong so I know I'm not just horrible at this.
Weird how easy it looks when others do it but really that part about 'being able to balance on one foot' is key
Probably the best skating tutorial I've watched on TH-cam. Love the way you show errors and explain how to fix them. Class work!
Thank you!
It is the best, my only way of stopping before I watched this video is let my self fall.
Best tutorial I’ve seen on stopping thank you. Great teaching style.
Bro, I looked a long time to find a proper tutorial about how to stop on skates and yours is by far the best.
You explain and show everything so properly categorized in progression levels and even talk about potential setbacks...
Awesome 🎉
This is definitely one of the best tutorials on stopping that I've come across as well! I love the progression. I honestly got a little discouraged when I got the transitions down and still couldn't seem to powerslide. This just made it click! 😁 Also gives me a heads up that I'm closer to getting the simple power stop than I thought! Cheers! 👍🏾
So helpful!!! Really breaks it down and builds my confidence. Can't wait to get rolling and get the stop techniques aced! Much appreciated.
Thanks for watching!
love how each move is broken down and easily understood. good job.
Very detailed, I really like the step by step breakdowns and the visual aids, makes it easier to understand and practice (I'm just starting out but saving this). Thanks a lot!!
Thanks for watching. Glad it helps.
This is very well done. Calm, clear and appears achievable. Much appreciated. Thanks for the effort and for sharing your skills in skating and teaching.
Thanks for watching and thanks for your positive feedback! 🙏
You make it look really easy, I will practice this techniques, best regards from Mexico
Thank you for watching
This was incredibly helpful the way you broke-down each stopping technique.
The best video on stops I've watched so far. Well done and thank you!!
Great video and explanation. I tried imagining a cone like you used on the powerstop today and the change was immediate. I’ve struggled with spinning out of it but this really clicked with me and helped. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching. I'm glad the idea of a cone made a difference. Keep practising and you'll soon be a stopping master!
Thank you so much for teaching us in such a detailed and patient way.
It was really hard learning from other videos until I find this video .
Thank you so much for teaching.♡
Glad it helped
This is exactly what I was looking for, everything explained clear and I really like that you showed "steps" how to learn every technic. Really good job 👏
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching
Can’t say enough thanks for your video you give probably most detailed and structured instruction of all the TH-cam how to skate videos I have seen so far. Helps a ton!
Thanks for watching
Thank you so much for this! I just started rollerblading again, and was always so dependent on the stopper
Thanks for watching
I remember when i went skating with my dad and he couldn't balance so he had to use a walker but he still ended up falling with walker
Denki Kaminari 💀💀💀😂😂 I was trying not to laugh
Don’t use walkers. You end up being reliant on them and not developing balance on your own
Well my dad ran over a little girl then left the building before the girl’s parents found her. She couldn’t feel her leg at all soooo..... That was my first time skating and kept skating afterwards. I look back and think of that girl at times.
Silence of Solis why did u not call police
Slayer the robloxian Gamer O was really young and had no idea what was going on
I browsed across YT to find the most relevant tutorials for BEGINNER like me and found this video is the perfect one. You provide us with the step by step that we, the beginner, really need. Thank you!
Glad it helped you
somehow i think this is by far the best how-to stop video guide i came across on YT
really appreciate all the detail given , much thanks !
Thanks alot
This is a brilliant video mate. Ive seen alot of stopping tutorials as well. This is right there with the best. Will watch this 10 times over. You got a different approach that explains it really clealy (including pitfalls) and the drills to get there are good as well . Watching it i realised that was what i was doing in my drill for powerstop. . Its clear you put some thought into it. This is a video i would recommend to anyone wanting to improve thier stops. Well done..
all the best.
Thank you so much. I did spend alot of time putting this video together so it's great you think it is ok. Thanks for watching as always!
@@whittyskater8854 it is more than ok. its really good. all the best
@@klisher thank you🙏
who else is watching since the ice rinks are closed?🙋🏼♀️
Sofia Menlös yep, I decided to buy my first pair of rollerblades since I miss the ice rink and they are so much harder to ride than on ice
Good luck. If you can ice skate you will soon learn to blade!
WHITTYskater thanks! :)
charbel kerbaj I bought mine off Decathlon, you can get them on amazon too but I recommend decathlon
I got mind from Locoskates, fitter over the phone from foot measurements.🤣 They do fit. Yes, an ice skater will pick this up very quickly.
Just found your video after searching so many on how to do powerslide and powerstop. You break each step down incrementally, which helps so much. Thank you!
Glad it helped.
I love this. I was considering buying inline skates because I loved it as a kid. And this is my first video to give me some confidence lol. Very helpful and clear video!! Thanks
Imagine, we have everything we need to learn ANYTHING in internet. What a blessing🤩
I've watched many "How to stop" tutorials. This is the best ever! Thank you very much. I wish you all the success with your tutorials!
Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it!
I used to skate a lot but never quite understood how to power slide and never really tried. That was before and leading into the infancy of TH-cam so I couldn't watch videos like this. From those that I've seen, your video gives the best explanation and visuals to explain it. It seems that other skaters struggle to remember the process in such a detailed way. These moves become second nature after a while so they tend to miss small but essential aspects.... And it really doesn't look all that hard so even though I've just started skating again, I should pick this up in no time. Thanks.
I'm 30 and I have never been so exited in my life. Learning how to rollerskate I believe is one of the most exiting things in life !!! Kudos for the tutorials !!!
im an ice skater and only know hockey stops. i feel like with rollerbaldes the movement is just way more constricted. awesome video though, thanks!
I'm the opposite! I've tried a bit of ice skating since starting rollerblading. I find hockey stops so alien! I'm too used to the grip. Thanks for watching.
Yeah, I used to ice skate and i had my first inline skating session today with 110mm triskates, my instinct is to just to hockey stop so every time I went to stop I went flying, the grip you get is crazy compared to ice!
both me and my other friend who plays hockey have fallen because we instinctively hockey stopped
I am also coming from ice skating and skiing. The motions are so similar, yet SO different b/c you can't just slide laterally like you do on skates or skis. I feel like I should pick this up quickly but I feel like a total dork! Thank God for protective gear, LOL
Funny how this was my 1st recommended video!! I've been watching alot skate videos lately and this one was actually something I needed! Great explaining, can't practice it right now but i will tommorow! Thx TH-cam and whittyskater :D
Thanks very much for watching. It's good to hear TH-cam is recommending my vids to people!
@@whittyskater8854 Ive watched alot of tiago inline skater if u know him, that's probably why ur recommended to me, but your instructions are better then his :)
@@xxdarkwandererxx I like Tiago. He has a great channel.
This is the best tutorial I've seen. Perfect explanations that I could understand immediately, and it looks like you put a lot of work into the video as well! The slow downs are so perfectly done that I didn't need to pause or rewind the video in order to catch what was going on.
I also really appreciated that you not only mentioned, but also showed some of the common mistakes. Being able to see how that makes it harder or could cause a fall really helped a lot with my understanding of each technique!
Immediately subscribed, your other videos also look great, and I look forward to experiencing your content!
Glad you have found this video helpful. It's worth all the effort when it it helps people. Thanks for the sub.
Many thanks! There are lot of tutorials, yet yours is the best one I've seen about stoping! Great job!
Thank you!
This was much more helpful then other vids i have watched. The progression step by step and methods for learning the different stops helped me understand it better. Thank you for this great video.
Thanks alot for your feedback. It's great to hear that this tutorial was helpful for you.
Wow, great tutorial! You really made it so simple to understand! I've also just started skating so this is really helpful, thx a lot !
Thank you for watching. It's great that it was simple to follow. Good luck with your skating!
This is the best tutorial I have seen online!!! ... breaking down each movement perfectly and also step by step how to practice. Just amazing. Thank you so much for this
WHITTYskater
. I am working to balance on one foot now, but I will follow your method to the letter. After I master all three ... I will take you to a coffee when you are in London and maybe skate around. Thank you. Cheers buddy
I'm glad you liked the tutorial. Thanks alot for watching. I'll have an americano please!
I love the way these techniques are being broken down. It is incredibly helpful. Thank you
Thanks for watching
Absolutely beautiful explanation. I will definitely try all of these next practice session :)
Love these videos! Keep it up!
Good luck at your next practice. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
I like the basic power stop, you do it so well. I need it for abrupt stops while skating in the streets. If you can do a further breakdown, and also more tutorials thanks so much for the good effort n time dedicated to this..more Please 👍😅😅
@@harryblaise thank you for watching and I'm glad you liked the tutorial! The basic powerstop is my 'go to' stop when on the streets. I hope to do more tutorials in the near future. People are already suggesting some ideas which is great.

G'day mate from Australia! Great video. I just subscribed. In my 40's learning to skate. taken some heavy falls but I love it (skating, not falling). thanks for helping me to improve my technique.
Hello there! Thanks for the sub. Much appreciated. That's awesome you have taken up skating. Unfortunately falls are part of the learning curve but they will get less often. Good luck!
@@whittyskater8854 LOL 45 Dutchie here living in Poland since 1997 and started inline skating a year ago - my 10 yo daughter inspired me after I taught her to skate on ice and then got her inline skates LOL
Thank you so so much for this video, I learned how to rollerblade when I was very young but then stopped for years and now I’m trying to pick it up again but have forgotten most of the skills that I’ve learnt, so this was extremely helpful!
Thanks for posting this and especially for showing the common errors as well.
Nice tutorial - really well explained. I've got all these, but very one-sided. Must practise on my weaker side. I want the parallel slide soooo much!!
Thank you. I'm glad it made sense! Practicing on the weaker side is everyones achillies heel, mine included! Keep practicing and you'll get that slide!
Thank u so much. Before I saw your video, I have felt so crazy with stopping over. It took more time that I want. It was a reason why I still prefer ice skating. I know what I should do now. Great job😉 Have still fun with skating
Thanks for watching! Good luck with learning to stop.
Thank you very much for this video. I love how many details you give us to understand what to do!
Thank you, it's so clearly explained, you've got a knack for explaining things.
Best tutorial I've seen so far, thank you! I've just started skating so this is really helpful
Thanks alot for your positive feedback. That's awesome you have just started. Good luck with your skating. If you have any questions about anything please just ask.
Best tutorial by far! I found this really helpful! It saved me so much time!
That's great to hear. Thank you!
Wow a tutorial that is an actual tutorial. I mean that in a very non-sarcastic way. So far every "tutorial" I have seen on braking is basically a list of different techniques. You actually take the time and have the knowledge to break down steps and prerequisites. Thanks
Awesome stopping tutorial, definitely the best I have seen with the most helpful and usable info and breakdown!
Thanks for the work and the video 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The best tutorial i have seen on Yt. Ty
Thank you for watching!
I agree!
Amazing tutorial!! Explained everything extremely clearly, and helped me a lot. Thanks, man!

Best tutorial ever made .. thank you !!
Thanks alot buddy. That's very nice of you to say!
So I haven’t been rollerblading for years (since elementary or middle school) because I had worn down my old skates so much. Well a couple days ago I finally bought my self a new pair of skates and was skating for the first time in years yesterday. Surprisingly I didn’t have trouble actually skating (though I had been ice skating a few times this past year). Only problem I had skating yesterday was the stopping. My skates have a brake on the back of he right side, however it didn’t help me much with stopping, so I am going to try a couple of these techniques next time I skate (whenever I don’t have to work.)
It's great to hear you are back on skates. Welcome! I hope the stopping vid will help you out. Any questions please just ask!
If it helps, maybe you could remove the brake
First thing you should do is remove the brake! These things are downright dangerous once you start skating switch ( going backwards) .
Keep on rolling !
@@retepeknarf Spotted the skier ;)
You are a SUPERB teacher!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a GREAT tutorial. I will definitely be looking at your other videos. THANKS A MILLION!!!
Thanks for watching. Glad it helped!
I have watched tons of videos trying to learn the power stop , and none helped me. i ended up falling down and never understood the technique..
However, following your steps, it finally clicked on my head and managed to do my first power stop from the first day , i will practice more to master it.
No word will be enough to thank you for sharing it in such a professional manner.. keep up the good work
Yeahh!, :)))It is perfectly presented. You have the ability to teach :))))
Thank you!
@@whittyskater8854 ,
What do you think about these braking solutions, it seems that the brake has the shortest way to stop. An example is in the first shot of the film. Regards, Irek th-cam.com/video/IJmdOsGvd6M/w-d-xo.html
thank you for this!! I've been skating for almost 2 years and still haven't got the powerstop down, this may be the time I finally get it
Thanks for watching. Hope this helps you nail the powerstop. Good luck!
@@whittyskater8854 thanks! really appreciate it
WHITTYskater just a little update, About a month later and I got a pretty solid powerstop! Thanks so much again for you video
That's great!
This is such an amazing video!❤ I just got myself some rollerblades and can't wait to try these!
Thanks so much for the detailed breakdown of these techniques! ☺️
Great vid. The whole family will be practicing these techniques this weekend :)
What knee pads do you use in this vid? Cheers.
Thank you! Have fun practicing! I'm using Rekd gasket knee pads
Really you teach us inna good manner i learn more in i will keep practice on power stop and on power slide really very essential for me in Kabul Afghanistan 🇦🇫
Thank you for watching from Afghanistan! I'm glad the video is helpful. Happy skating.
Watched this so many times during the summer 2020, stumbled upon it again and boy do I miss that summer skating in shorts and a t-shirt. Practiced power stop using the technique here and it's pretty decent now. This summer it's power slide time.
Yeah looking forward T-shirt weather. Good luck learning the powerslide
Great video thanks to you I now have a confident stopping technique at least when I’m fully padded up and only after one session. I’m having more issues with the power slide as I’m very right foot dominated. Thanks again I love you videos as it’s great to see another British skater dealing with the surfaces that we have in the UK. The councillors in my city have done an excellent job providing guidance at crossings for the partial sighted.
That's so great to hear my video has helped. Good to hear from another UK skater as well. We have to embrace our bumpy paths and roads. I enjoy the challenge. Good luck with your skating. Any questions just ask.
Bro great video. Probably the best vid out there for intro stopping.
I'm having issues getting the initital parallel turn for the powerstop though - I just can't do it.
I try to scissor my feet like you do but the only way I can get myself to turn is by moving my back foot up - I'm essentially doing an A-turn at that point.
Do you got any extra tips for getting the turn down?
Thank you for watching. I would suggest putting a bit more weight on your inside foot as you do the turn. You can lean slightly in to the turn to do this. I think this will help in keeping you feet scissored. Also start with wider turns first. The wider the turn the easier it will be to scissor your feet. You can then slowly make the turn tighter and tighter. Hope this helps!?
Nice and useful drills. I think it is a bit easier to add a powerslide after the drag. For example you drag your left and add a powerslide sliding with the right. That way for the transition into the second slide you only need to turn your left another 90 degrees. For the combination you showed the drag foot needs to come completely forward from far behind. This needs a lot of momentum. It is more spectacular, but it is also a bit more difficult. At least for me...
Thanks for watching. I've never really tried dragging with one foot and then sliding with the other. Seems like a good idea. I'll give it a try!
Grab you a pal and get out there. Here some motivation. Subscribe for more content th-cam.com/video/8_RzJvkPYRA/w-d-xo.html
This is incredibly helpful thank you so much! Can't wait to go out and practice these tomorrow
Loving this video, went to practice today, it seems I tend to turn with feet in parallel rather than one in front of the other! Will keep practicing, thank you!!!!
"make sure you have adequate protection..." while wearing nothing but tshirt and shorts.
This man wears my kind of protection.
I'm still having a hard time with the track stop (T-Stop). I always spin out. I do end up stopping but not in the correct manner. :( I think maybe I'm not shifting my weight correctly.
I had exactly the sane problem when I started. Try keeping more weight over the forward foot and try to remain fairly upright. Eventually your body will learn how to distribute the weight so you will stop spinning out. Good luck!
@@whittyskater8854 thank you! I practiced more today and I'm getting better. Still wary of the power stop, going backwards at speed is my next goal.
Mate I've watched a lot of stopping videos on TH-cam and yours is definitely the best. Well done and thanks. You rock!
That's great to hear. I appreciate it thanks. 🙏
You make skating so EZ and so simple, what a great tutorial, Thanx a lot.
Thanks for watching.
