I've been traversing the various powerstop tutorials, and this is definitely a great one. The top down view was especially helpful. I never considered that the leading skate actually becomes the braking skate. Thought you just pivoted on it. Cant wait to try this tomorrow.

@RichHayterSkater

Thanks for your comment. In a power slide, the lead skate is merely a pivot point and the trailing skate is the active brake. But, with a power stop, this lead skate initiates the stop. Good luck.

Just the fact that you explain the weight distribution of your feet while you're sliding makes this the best tutorial I've seen! All of the other tutorials just tell you to slide your feet out without actually explaining how to do it, nice work!

Nice tutorial and tips here, Rich. This is one I have been working on recently. I mentioned this in a comment on your latest video (5 tips) and the parallel turn became an evident part of my understanding of this stop in a recent drill where I was practising lunge-turns (hairpin?) and noticed I could stop myself. Not a complete stop and I tended to roll out a lot slower, so going to focus on this and your video validated the turn as a starting point. I watched one of Bill Stoppard's recent videos where he mentioned it was all about the quick twist in the hip of the leading foot, however, I don't think I got the balance right and I just ended up juddering a bit and scaring myself. Thanks for sharing this, mate. Great breakdown. Non-dominant leg is pants and definitely got to work on that. :D

Thanks Dude, the magic slide is also one I’d like to learn. Deez Skates has a good video on it.

Mr. Hayter Skater, this is one of the best Power Stop tutorials on the inter-webs. Thanks for this! Please post a follow-up! The 1st person angle that starts at 3:10 is very helpful. I like that you start by shifting your weight in the opposite direction immediately before initiating the pivot with Skate 1. This 'un-weights' the skates and allows you to make a quick transition into the stop/slide. Shaun Unwin talks about this as well, but it didn't click with me until I saw your video. Also, your 'drag to stop' method (a la Stoppard) allows you to dump speed and get into a wide lunge position to initiate the stop. Win-win! Also, for anyone struggling with this, get a hard set of wheels, like 88A and up to practice slides. Makes all the difference when you're learning.

It can be tough to get your body to comply; it wants to keep you safe at all times and doesn’t yet understand the skating skills you’re attempting. I’ve dealt with this issue recently whilst coaching my son. You need to proceed slowly. There a few things you can try, This scissor position is the key to unlocking your parallel turns, along with edge awareness-knowing what edge of your wheels you are rolling on-so getting comfortable with these should be your first priority. If you need to, find some grass and practice standing in the scissor position-one skate slightly ahead to the other. Practice switching the lead skate. When ready, try rolling slowly in the scissor position in a straight line, and practice the same drill, switching your lead skate from left to right. Try to be comfortable in each position before you switch back. You will always have a default position, for me, that’s with me right skate back and left skate forward, but you should aim to be comfortable with both. Now, find a wall or lamppost, adopt your scissor position, and try gently leaning towards the object, emphasising weight on the outer edge of the wheels of your front skate, and inner edge of the wheels of your back skate. This may take time, and one side will feel more natural than the other, that’s ok, just keep practicing. When ready, find a smooth flat area, and combine these two drills whilst rolling super-slow. First, find your scissor position, then try leaning; you might not turn, but it’s important to feel your weight on your edges. Edge awareness is so important! Now switch your scissor position around, and try on the opposite side. Let your body go! Your upper body needs to move first, you need to essentially become unbalanced in order to move. Use your arms to help you balance, it will help. Repeat this drill. Allow your body to move more as you get more confident, this will help you to turn. Maintain your scissor position and your edge awareness throughout. It will take time to build your confidence with this, but if you stay consistent you will defo begin to see progress. My son has only been rolling for a month or so and is now linking his parallel turns with relative ease! You will get there! Good luck! I will release more videos on this subject, so stay tuned!👍

Hello. Quick question, I just received my Bauer RS senior Hi-lo (yellow wheels). I do freestyle ice hockey, but with these bauer rs, I can’t seem to do a hockey stop (parallel glide). Are the wheels that came with this skates can possibly do the Parallel glide at least? Given that the skates is just a day old? (Can it slide after a normal few wears?) Or do i need a special wheels to power glide? (I really can’t afford at the moment) so I’m trying to check the possibilities. Cheers!

Hey! Your skates might have indoor wheels, check the durometer - the number with the ‘A’ after it - this will tell you the wheel hardness. It’s easier to slide on harder wheels, anything from 85A and higher, but don’t worry, my Kronos skates came which 74A wheels and I was still able to power stop on them, you’ll just need to wear them in a fair bit. Be patient and practice at slow speeds; you’ll get it.

when you are doing a parallel turn and learning to use the inner/outer edges of your skates... which way does your upper body need to lean? to the inside side of the turn or to the outside side?

@RichHayterSkater

2 жыл бұрын

In order to get onto the outside edge of your leading skate, your body needs to lean to the outside of that skate. When turning left, your left skate should be slightly ahead of your right, and your weight needs to lean out over left skate.

@@RichHayterSkater cool! that's what I thought but the reason I was asking is because when I lean that way I just feel like I'm going to fall. Is that why the trailing leg extends so much? To create counter balance? or is it just sheer speed that will keep me from falling?

@RichHayterSkater

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, these is a bit of counterbalancing happening there, and you’ll actually feel pretty safe at speed if you get yourself down low and spread your base wide. You need to become unbalanced to turn; the quicker yours to that turn to be the more unbalanced you’ll need to be. Think about turning into the fall, you’re actually catching yourself as you turn. Take it slow, you will get used to it, then gradually pick up your speed, it’s a lot of fun!

Hi. I can do powerstop. Sometimes skate 2 goes in little slide in higher speed just like u in your video. Is it correct?

@RichHayterSkater

Yeah, that happens when hit the brakes at higher speeds. It’s fun, right? You can avoid this by reducing your speed before you use the power stop.

I've been working on this for 3 days now but I just keep spinning as opposed to stopping. I think it's because the trailing foot just refuses to slide. How do I fix this?

@RichHayterSkater

3 жыл бұрын

Annoying, right? I used to get this on my weaker side, as you’ll see from the video. A few things you might try: put more emphasis on the first foot and get a deeper angle of lean. You also might try dragging the 2nd skate before you turn - this ensures it’s sliding before you make the turn. Keep practicing, it’ll click. 👍

Hi I'm a begginer and my right foot is leaning to the right when I Rollerblade and its like I'm going to twist my ankle. Can u tell me please how to fix that?

@RichHayterSkater

4 жыл бұрын

Hey. With new skaters it’s often the opposite, where the skater pronates and their skates tilt inward making them look knocked-kneed. Most people will have a dominant side and you might find you’re simply leaning too heavily on your right side and not distributing your weight. As a new skater with lots to think about, weight distribution may be getting ignored so think about that each time you stand up on your skates. I’m not an instructor but here’s what you might try: Ensure your skates are supportive enough and are laced/buckled securely; stand up on grass, skates pointing forward; bend your knees so that your chins are pressing against the tongues of your skates - you should feel supported, if not, tighten the top buckle or the laces at the top until you do. Now practice shifting on your edges as if you’re a slalom skier. Body mechanics will play a role here, but you should be working to make both sides as even as possible. There should never be so much flex that you feel your angle will twist; if so, these skates may not be supportive enough for you as a beginner and I’d look for a more supportive set, initially, probably a hard shell. Some skates allow you to adjust the frame laterally, and it may be that moving the frame outward slightly on your right skate makes a difference. Hope this helps.

Softer wheels grip more and will make power stops more difficult, at least at first. If you’re rolling 84a and upwards you should be good.

88a should slide well after they’ve bedded in and lost that grippy sheen that all new wheels have. You’ll also have less grip overall and require more control with three larger wheels. Be patient, you’ll get there.👍

The speed at which you can use this will depend on your ability, confidence, and the surface. Approach too quickly and you'll need to rely more on the 2nd sliding skate, and it'll resemble more of a power slide. This is where the drag to power stop comes in. Shave of some speed using the drag stop before turning into a power stop to bring you to a sharp halt! Or, you throw a parallel slide! Stopping is a lot of fun!

I'm new skating as well and i feel like controlling speed and stopping is the 1st thing i need to master before anything else, and even more since i want to move to triskates. Just another thing to add to the tutorial, when you're getting thighter and thighter and you feel losing grip and star to slide, but extra pressure on your heels and set the skates on parallel, so you don't turn. Great tutorial tho

@@RichHayterSkater Yeah! Girls are waiting for my decision 😅 I make magic slide sometimes accidentaly when I want to brake powerstop method. when I braked with magic slide first time I felt how hard it is and there is a more risk to fall than in powerstop case. That was my last rollerblading today cause I damaged the frame with powerstop method. There is a thread in one hole. Serviceman welded this screw and when I will want to change the wheels to other side I won’t be able to put this screw again to frame cause weld. Now I know how to brake with no shuffle the frame on a road. All you have to do is that you have to shuffle with using your wheels on a road to make the speed slower and after that making your foot in front of you to brake and make whole braking process. Be careful with these types of braking! 🙂 I’ll go with 3x110’s and I hope it won’t be harder to brake this method 😂
