It’s extra hard because it’s done at speed so the turn is almost a little jump. It will come as you get more experienced. I should do a separate video on this skill.

You're an amazing teacher. Thank you❤️ just got some skates this week after not skating for over 10 years and your videos are very helpful:)

While skating today, and I think my skating time probably adds up 2 around 10hrs, I suddenly remembered the transition stop I always used 2 do as a teen!! (I'm 49 now) and I'm so stoked!! I find it quite easy....go me💪🏻😂

Well done. That’s a good way to stop as it takes the forward momentum into the round. Works a treat. I have another stopping video (without toestops) that details that stop too.

The outer edge tip was so so useful, I wish I watched this before going out to skate today lol, I just came back from practicing and I wondered why I wasn’t stopping correctly but this explains it, thank you!

I think ever new skater has an “I CAN’T STOP” moment. 😂

When I was in high school, there was this thing we had to do in gym class at the end of the year where we had to go and skate around the neighborhood and park. I hated how the teachers just ASSUMED we were all experts, and did this in our spare time or something. I was the kid that was lagging behind, because I didn't want to do this, not knowing how to stop, and generally just not having fun. I nearly lost my life that day, or got my leg run over, and couldn't stop myself and nearly went out to a busy road. I had to deliberately make myself fall backwards on my bum in order to stop. The gym teacher finally caught wind of this, grabbed my arm, and pulled me back to the sidewalk. I was fuming that I was even here. To diffuse the tension, the gym teacher smiled and went, "I just saved your life!" Yeah. Great. Thanks for that. But you wouldn't have to do that, if people didn't assume all of us know how to skate/stop. If only I knew your advice sooner.

Hi Katie, we love your videos and we would like to know how to stop when we are going fast in a crowded place where everyone is skating.

Much appreciated!

@Skatie

Great question. These situations can be really scary and sudden. In this scenario I’d go for the emergency stop 🛑 of a 180 and both toe stops down. It does require the ability to transition / turn quickly so needs some practice but works really well. My video this Sunday covers the emergency stop. Also in this situations sometimes trying to avoid by using a sudden movement left of right can also work well. I tend to do a little side step / jump action.

Hi. I’m wearing my old Artistic setup which is a custom Risport boot, Atlas plate (Similar to Roll-Line) and Sketchers wheels.

Is balancing required in doing T stop or toe stop ? The friction from it makes me trip and fall.. wat could be the issue?

@Skatie

3 жыл бұрын

The T-stop is a more advanced stop than the plough as you need to be able to balance on one leg while the other drags behind. Applying gentle pressure with the braking foot initially should help with controlling the friction. After a bit of practice you’ll feel the right amount of pressure to apply. Make sure you’ve got your safety gear on if you’re falling. Stay safe and happy rolling x

What are your thoughts of using your toe stop to slow down? I do it primarily on trail skates to control speed, or to gradually slow down to transition because it’s comfortable for me but I’ve been really really harshly fingers wagged at for doing it. Bad enough that it makes me feel bad

@Skatie

2 жыл бұрын

Stopping using a toe stop is fine. As long as your toe is turned out and not dragged behind with your knee pointing down. It will wear your toe stop down quite quickly outside.

Funny. As a child I usually grabbed on something to stop or fell on a softer surface... hehe

@Skatie

The plow stop is a pretty effective way of stopping. However if you’re going really fast it can turn into more a chop stop where you use the same technique but each foot is lifted in a forwards stepping motion. I’ve just filmed a video on emergency stops where I explain this stop it should be live in a couple of weeks.

They are best used outside when skating on trails forwards etc to control speed. They often invoke heated debate as some consider them trip hazards but they do have their uses too when used safety.
