5 Ways to STOP on Inline Skates - Beginner to Beast
Heel Stop
T-Stop
Grass Stop
Power Stop
Slalom Stop
The heel stop is the most basic stop. Place the stopping skate a bit in front and lift your toes. That's it!
For some more power, bend your legs and push harder.
... Not good enough ...
The t-stop is more difficult but a good second stop to learn.
Keep almost all weight on the front skate. Gently drag the back skate behind.
... Too much weight on the dragging skate and you'll go for a spin.
The grass stop is the most important emergency break.
Stay low, keep one skate in front and more weight on the back skate.
... A grass roll often turns into a grass run.
The power stop looks much like an ice hockey stop.
However, it's very different. Make a sharp turn. On your outside skate, keep most weight on the heel.
Fall back on the inside skate.
Like this.
... NOT like this ...
The slalom stop is useful at high speeds and going downhill.
Make a sharp turn until outside skate loses grip. Fall back on the inside skate and repeat.
... It does requires some space ...
* Comments
I usually remove the heel break from my skates. Not using it is just my personl preference.
There are soom good reason to use the heel break even if you know other ways to stop.
First off, with the heel break on your wheels last longer.
The heel break is much cheaeper and easier to replace too, so it may be worth keeping it just for this reason.
It's also a lot easier on your joints. Knees and hips may suffer from other stopping techniques, especially if you do them wrong.
For me the reason to remove the heel breaks is partially that they may mess up when going backward or doing transitions,
and partially that removing the heels breaks save some weight.
Another important thing to keep in mind about heel breaks is that they are not very effective.
Going downhill it's very dangerous to rely on the heel break. Slalom turns are much better at controlling speed.
The t-stop is my most used stop. It's like my everyday stop.
It's more powerful than the heel break.
It does wear down the wheels quite a bit so I try to make it a habit to use my left skate, that's my weaker side,
more for controlled stops and my right skate in more challenging situations.
At higher speeds and going downhill it's a good idea to alternate between left and right to avoid flat spots.
The grass roll is mostly for emergencies. It's super useful to know. I recommend everyone, including beginners,
to practice it. It's not that difficult either. Just be aware that the wheels may get stuck.
Instinctively you then start to run so it's shouldn't be a problem.
The power stop is maybe the most difficult stop. I really need to focus every time I do it.
It's called power stop for a reason. A lot of energy goes into it.
I often start with a T-stop until the speed feels comfortable, and then I continue with a power stop.
Other times I do slalom turns, and finally when the speed feels right I do a power stop.
Actually it's by doing slalom turns I learned the power stop. Slalom turns are very much the same thing.
You can feel that if your weight balance is over your outside skate, and a bit toward the heel, you slow down tremendously.
You'll also notice the outside skate starting to lose grip. With the slalom turn I let my balance shift over to the insde skate.
With the power stop I just let the skate lose grip, then slide to a full stop and finally fall back on the inside skate.
Finally, I'll say a few words about skating on wet pavement.
First of all it's more slippery, so it's extra important to focus on when and where you may lose grip. Second it will kill your bearings.
I use my old skates with old bearings when I skate in rain. If I only had one pair of skates, I'd think twice before going skating in the rain.

Hi, newbie here. Wish i found this video as the first one i searched when searching for ways to stop on skates. Not gonna say i wasted few last days, but this video has everything combined, that you would pick up piece by peace when watching some other videos. Very informative. Gonna watch it again probably few times later. Gonna bookmark it. Thanks dude.

Excellent vid. I disagree with your comment regarding the limited effectiveness of the heel brake, though. When I bought my second pair of skates back in the mid 90's the owner of the shop (New World Sports in SF, long gone) was a professional downhill skater, and he touted the heel brake as the quickest, most effective braking method. It's a matter of sitting back enough to be able to put full weight on the brake pad while using the front skate for steering and stability. He told me of a guy who actually tied a rope to the front of his brake skate. That rope went up the leg and was secured around the knee (with a string, perhaps?). On the end of that rope was a t-handle. The guy would actually reach down and grab the t-handle when braking in order to fully leverage his weight onto the brake pad. When you're going fast downhill (and we have serious hills here in SF) you can only really use the heel brake or T-stop methods. Slaloming is good, but that's really meant to control speed, and you need turning width in the road. T-stopping doesn't do much at higher speeds. The heel brake is the proper method, as you don't need any width in the road, and you can keep your skates parallel. The only people, who don't believe in the effectiveness of heel braking, are those who've never tapped into its potential. And yes, you do wear them down, very quickly, when you actually use them properly. Those guys would carry extra brakes with them when they would go on city skates bombing hills.

@@sund5Thanks! The heel brake gets no respect, lol. People remove them because it does interfere with crossing your skates over each other, but they also remove them because they don't know how well they can work. For most people, who only skate flat stuff, they're more an impediment and get in the way.

@Tairyn Lowenberg sure, lift your legs 😉 I suppose it depends a bit on the length of your frame and body height (or rather length of legs) but it's most definitely possible. I've always skated with a heel break and love crossovers. I also agree it's a very effective and safe way to stop. I'm not sure how well it works on triskates with 110mm wheels though.
this was like ASMR. The audio was so soothing the whole video so relaxing and informative. Really great!
Good video! :) Today I've got my first pair of Triskates. These days I will practice my Power-Stop on Triskates, making Slalom-Stops first might be helpful. Thanks for that!
Such a great tutorial vid- all the big pointers, good examples to watch and learn from and very quick and to the point with no unnecessary tid bits. Really helpful, thank you!!
To the point, informative, thanks, great video. Answered all my questions in 5 minutes.
I like your videos because you demonstrate what to avoid doing too. thanks.
This was a great vid! I was practising the T stop over and over again until I got it right! Very helpful! 😃
GRACIASSSSS MY BRO GOD BLESS YOU
Thank you for just starting right into the video
Amazing! Thanks 🙏
Great video, especially for beginners. I am surprised you didn’t do a hockey stop. I just learned it and it’s the best stop by far.
Thank you. I am transitioning from quads (skating on quads for 35 years) to inline and really miss the stopper on front and doing hockey / power stops on four wheels. The skating, generally, is very similar but boy is stopping a totally different thing on inlines. It is the one thing I am struggling with and odd as I can do cross-overs, go backwards, salom, go on one foot no probs but stopping always gets my heart racing and makes me look like a knew born foal on ice. Thanks for these tips. Greatly appreciated.
T stop is easy for me thanks man for making this video
Very informative video! 👍👍
Looked for something like this after wiping out pretty badly after taking up skating again after years of not skating at all. My t-stop really suffered (and as a consequence now I do). First thing I noticed - I got way too used to the speed at which I can come to a complete stop both on the ice and a bike apparently - breaking will probably be a lot easier if I don't misjudged the distance I'll need in the first place. Thanks so much for a very comprehensive and easy to understand video =)
Awesome video :) 💥👍🤠
I would also suggest the magic slide as a great way of stopping downhill. Also the Bill Stoppard stopping technique where he does a T drag to parallel slide is also very useful for stopping quickly.
Very good video. For skating in rain and snow I have a separate set of wheels with bearings packed with automobile wheel bearing grease. Very cheap. Although the skates are a bit slower, your bearings will never seize up no matter how wet they get.
@nortexoid
3 жыл бұрын
Bad idea. I ride in wet conditions all the time. Bearings don't seize when wet. They seize from rust, debris, and lack of lubricant. Thick grease will attract a lot of debris and make it hard to clean your bearings, and will reduce roll speed too. Just clean your bearings regularly and they'll last fairly long even after getting wet, and I would recommend a less viscous oil like sewing machine oil.
Haha the grass run made me chuckle, great video though!
ty dude
By biggest issue is to control the speed downhill. any tips? using the heel brake is not very good at downhill
nice skating skills
Nice weather
MAY U MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT ADJUSTING AND FIXATION OF THE FRAME ? specially when having a bad pair of skates which come lose a lot :(
One needs to learn how to use the heel brake... Amateurs just touch the ground with the brake and they wait for 20 seconds to stop. I am yet to see a technique that would bring me to a stop faster than using the heel brake. One needs to lean back and put the whole weight of his body including the second foot (should be in the air) on the brake... You will stop faster than anything else... When riding downhill among cars you don't have space to be doing donuts or riding a slalom :D The best way and pretty much the only way is to learn how to use the heel brake cause once you do you realize how powerful it is and nothing will stop you better.
I can do it when I go slow but always lose balance when I have a bit of speed, how do I stop doing that? The stop I’m talking about is like the power stop but I’m not at good at it yet so I just sort of do a really sharp turn, I tend to feel my body continuing to go “forward” and I trip over my own feet
Easy to power stop w a lil slicker conditions I think ima practice when it rains
Nice video! Hey, at some place, were you really skating on icy surfaces?! Didn't know it was even possible with roller skates... Thanks!
excellent video.as an ice skater, I find inlines scary.
I really have to practice the Power Stop, it's kinda much more difficult than a hockey stop with ice skates...I mean, I had to practice the hockey stop very hard but compared to the street and the difference of the materials it is compleletely a whole new world
I use my heel brake all the time,especially at high speeds, I go through a brake month. Im too scared to commit to sliding. Lol
In the city, one of the easy options is to grab a light pole when going slow to stop. Also, not to stop but to slow down, you can use a V technique. Put weight on back wheels, push out, and point the front wheels inwards. Doesn't stop you but slows you down.

Yes, should be mentioned together with all other types of braking. I use this very often to control the speed, especially on wet asphalt when wheels lose a lot of grip on the surface. One big drawback: wheels wear off much faster, all of them, as this is essentially a long steady grind using all 8.
When I try to put my weight on one foot to pull it out in front of me, well, I can't lol but does nayone have any suggestions to help a boyo out?
yay im the first view and the first thumbsup ! i think there is a better way than slalom stop, especially downhill. what you do is spread out your feet, and try to slow yourself down by bringing your feet closer to each other, with both skate on the ground. it sounds simple but you can really feel and get used to it to slowyour speed down. i dont know what's it called but just like slalom stop, its not meant for full stop, but for slowing down very high speeds, right before you do a T-stop. slalom stop requires a lot of space, left and right. you do not just casually spread feet and close while skating, you have to create the 2 opposing force of both your feet coming together to slow you down, and you can do this repeatedly. i learnt this technique before i learn how to do the T-stop haha, and yes i was going downhill before i properlly learn how to stop, and with rockered wheels !!! this saves a lot of tire wear too.

Good list of basic stops every comfortable skater should know. Interesting how you place your heel brake on your left foot (as opposed to the traditional right foot). I removed mine after a while for a few reasons; 1, I was using the T-stop more often than my heel stop, 2, I was getting into going backwards and slalom (and since my brake automatically lowered when I leaned my ankle backward, it was very dangerous if I lean back too far when going backwards), 3, the brake pads were horrendously loud, to the point where in a large club with loud music, you could still hear my brake go off on the other side of the room. It became more of an inconvenience than a useful stopping technique, and the only use I could find for it nowadays would be when demonstrating the heel brake to new skaters.
slalmon and power brake are difficult for me as i just couldn't get it
I don't know why I can't do the t-stop, but I can do the power stop. I can't do the heel stop properly due to the rubber is missing. I can do the slalom stop at a going downhill and then the power stop at the end. I don't know why I can do the harder ones but not the easiest ones
How to get so much grip on wet surfaces? Do you have soft wheels (

i cant skate in the rain or on leave cuz its to slick my weels slide
It might just be me, but it seems the power stop would be "easier" to use on wet surface/tarmac then on regular surface/tarmac? I easily get too scared when going downhill because of the speed, and I have tried different stops/swings. The slalom one is the one I've had most success with so far, but there is one more stop you could mention next time if you have not already in another video, I just call it the ski-stop! Look at how people in Norway stop when going on skies, and you'll understand what I mean 🤙 It looks like a reversed V with you feet when stopping, and it's what I teach beginners when going on the rink, it can also be used when rollerblading. Subscribed now btw 😎🤙
I am not able to stand on one leg for more than 2 secs, even standing still on grass. What is wrong with me?? Is it my boot setup? Valo v13 + Kizer Trimax + 110mm wheels.
What kind of rollerblade are you using in the video?

What is the brand of your skate?
Would these translate to heelys?
Which way is the most efficient?
I find that the power stop is a very bad choice if you are going fast - unless you want to end up on your face.
*No. 1 stop:* Heelbrake! Why? Becasue it's efficent and cheap! You don't demolish your wheels which are expensive and impalenced wheels when used to much for stops.
What if u dont have a heel break and cant get one. only skate on a rink and cant go into grass. What is the best stop i should use

T-stop and power
WHat knee protection is it?
I do NOT remove the heel break BECAUSE I go downhill very often. It has never been a problem with transitions for me, the only thing is not to do is with the heel break on is riding down the stairs. It will catch. Actually heel stop is one of the safest stops downhill if you are able to sit down very LOW while rotating your body close to monoline and keeping this position for a prolonged period of time. You can slow down to almost a complete stop if you need to control your speed. The only problem is that you can easily wear out the brand new rubber pad just for one long downhill ride.

Very true, and I agree, I've been inline skating since 1987, and I still like the security of the heel brake, and it's rarely been a problem with transitions and crossovers because I'm used to it. Lots of very steep hills where I skate. Once, on a very long and steep hill with a lot of car traffic where I didn't have the room to slalom, I wore the entire brake down to a nub and had to bail. Without the heel brake, I would have been toast!
Sometimes when I roller blade to stop I make my legs into a v. Is that bad?

I hit the grass and tore my quad !!
I am not able to do the T brake, ppease help
Heel brake, when well executed, is way more powerful than tbrake. All you need is to put all your weight on the brake.

I'm just starting out too been skating on inlines for about 4 days now. In those for days my stride has gotten better, and I'm more confident in stopping with the heel brake. I'm also trying to learn how to turn. If you are not wearing protective equipment go buy some it will help with your confidence to try new things without it I was too worried about falling and hurting myself badly. Its going to take awhile(for me at least) some people learn faster than others. My advice don't be in a rush take your time.
Good stuff. But why does your profile link to a medication page that has nothing to do with skating?
First was easy and safe
all fine up to 70 mm then ure slalom is on high speed just dangerus all other is fine
Power stop to me ends up with 360 turn around twice.
no for me i fall and break my arm instead of using my wheels or the heel break
