Parallel slide is one of those maneuvers that everyone on inline skates wants to master. It is graceful and powerful. It inspires awe from onlookers. In Canada we grow up playing hockey, spraying ice with every awesome stop. However, on inline skates, the parallel slide or hockey stop seems so much more difficult. I say "if you can turn you can slide."

When we break down the parallel slide we find the key components.
Edging
Compression
Counter rotation
Weight transfer and distribution
The parallel slide is done on corresponding edges. Corresponding edges are one inside edge and one outside edge. Same edges used to perform a parallel or lunge turn. For most intermediate skaters this is not a problem. If you are struggling with a parallel slide it is a good idea to spend some time working on your edges. The hard part of the parallel slide is the slight unweighting of the body that allows the wheels to slide. This is done with a counter rotation and compression.
Counter rotation is a rotation of the upper body is the opposite direction of your edges. For example if you are edging as if turning to your right the counter rotation would be a rotation of your upper body to the left.
The compression is the bending of the knees and flexing of the ankles. With your skates on corresponding edges and your arms in position for the counter rotation the slide initiates with a compression. Timing the counter rotation with the decompression will result in a parallel slide.
Weight transfer is positioning your body weight from toe to heel or from foot to foot. Your body weight should be evenly distributed on each foot. I tend to have too much weight on the foot that is on the outside edge. This results in me slipping out onto my butt. The weight transfer is from toe to heel as you compress and decompress.
To master the parallel slide you first want to practice on a smooth concrete surface. Start by practicing in a static position.
Feet shoulder width apart
Corresponding edges
Arms in counter rotation position
Compress by bending knees and flexing ankles
Counter rotate as you decompress. Think of the decompression a pushing through your heels. - Спорт
Shawn it is the best tutorial on parallel sliding, in detail explanation.
Please make more tutorials on how to turn 180s, jumps...etc. We'll follow you.
Ah by the way, playlists are easier to navigate :)
Thank you for the the nice comment.
Do you have any suggestions on how I should set up the playlists?
I may suggest tutorials, reviews, and podcasts in addition to that video breakdowns which you've already done.
In my opinion, you are really successful on how to teach skating. In your videos I observed that you give the details necessary. The community is lack of such videos and you can fill this gap. By doing that, people who follow Bill, will follow you too and more. So if you increase the number of tutorials, it would be great to have this section.
Second, reviews. There are readings on the web investing the skate types, equipments, sizes etc... You have all the knowledge. You have the Shop Task. On a video I saw that you asked us to give sizes of our skates and feet and review how comfortable they were. I believe you are interested, so I might think it is something nice to have. Including such a section with others would make the channel all in one, you know what I mean..
That's all, hope I made myself clear. See you on new videos.
Great feedback! Thank you!!
and most definitely the coolest too what a lovely bloke peace and love and I love the reggae intro guys so damned cool and tasteful really goes with the skate fraternity lol
agreed
is it OK to be scared for your first time
you will scare every time. The important thing is not to think about it and just do it in anywhere.
sergen icyer I was about to ask if was alright to be scared the second time. I like your answer.🤣
@@StillAliveAndKicking_ It is so normal that you have kinda feeling. I've been skating for 4 years and still scared sometimes. But you can avoid it by feeding correctly and getting more carbonhydrat, by sleeping very well to get so much energy. Then you can concentrate very well and all you will need to do is to practice so much on the street or wherever. My problem was, I always fell ashleep and couldn't concentrate very well. I can suggest you to sleep very well first, then.. STREET TIME :) enjoy trip brother!
@@StillAliveAndKicking_ because it's kinda sport man. You need to take care of yourself first, then, go outside of the world with your skates :)
sergen icyer It’s not skating that scares me, it’s sliding. Each time I tried a parallel stop, I fell on my hip and it hurt lots.
Thank you for this. I've mentioned this before, but the way you break things down, especially with particular details on weight transfer which I find important and most helpful, really make things so clear compared to any other videos I've seen. Keep it up, I think you will see a big following soon!
Awesome! Thanks for the support.
Ok, so what type wheel hardness fits best for sliding? I now have 83a, and it feels like these wheels never slide, even accidentally... Does this matter actually?
Cant wait to get out and try this one. Great tutorial Shawn!
Boom! You can do it.
Shop Task A question here, do i tighten my skates as much as possible or not at all. Because from a lot of skating videos that i have seen their skates look pretty loose, but i don't know if i should do that as well. what would you recommend?
I know this was directed to Shawn. But I would say yes. You should have tight laces. Bill actually put out a video a little while back talking about how he actually laces up. He tightens his skates all the way from his toes up to his ankles. I actually do the same. It helps with stability on the leg that you are putting your weight on during the stop. Just my two cents. Hope it helps. Gl :-)
Michael Rice thanks! :)
It is best to tighten your skates completely but some people prefer their skates to be looser around the toes and around the top of the cuff. It is always important to tighten your skates around from the mid foot to above your ankles. This will lock your heels into the back of your skates.
By far the best tutorial I've seen for this slide, perfect!
Thank you Vincent
What wheels do you recommend for playing hockey on decently rough asphalt? I want them to hold up to hard braking. Thanks
Hockey stop on ice took me a month or so to figure out but now seems so simple: lower your posture during the approach with weight distributed over the middle of the skates, turn the lead plant leg's skate 90 degrees while shifting the weight from the middle of the foot to the heel, sink all of your weight onto the lead leg's heel (if doing on just one leg) or like 75% of your weight on the lead leg's heel and the rest on the trail legs heel (if doing on both skates), your hips and shoulders should naturally immediately follow in turning. The deeper you're "sitting" (butt's lower to ground with deep knee bend), as you're stabilizing yourself after the more balanced you'll be coming out of it. You'll have to be lower the faster you're going during the approach, as well. This process digs the edges of the plant leg(s) into the ice which literally scrapes a thin layer of ice off, providing gradual friction that brings you to a stop.
I don't inline much, but on most surfaces, if you do it exactly like on ice, you'll tip over because the wheels don't dig in, although with some softer wheels, perhaps a bit of the wheel gets worn off, providing gradual frictions that makes a slide possible.
Without special wheels or smoother surfaces, like on asphalt with hard wheels, you'll have to "C cut" much wider on the approach with the lead leg, and sort of segue into the 90 degree rotation as you're skate's coming out of the "top" of the "C" in the "C cut". Your lead foot should be out a bit more in front of the rest of your body, with that foot's lower leg about 45 degrees from the ground (as opposed to a stop on ice where the lead foot is barely in front of you and that foot's lower leg is closer to 70-90 degrees off the ground), and then you really have to sink you weight down and absorb the resistance from the road and your wheels with your ankles, knees, thighs, etc since neither the road or wheels have any give. The lower your butt is and the deeper your knee bend throughout, the lower your center of gravity (which makes is less likely you'll topple forward) and the more strength you can get out of your legs and glutes.
Boom! A lot of good points in there. Great breakdown.
Seems easy

Just got my first pair of inline skates and I'm trying to learn more than a t-stop! Thank you SO MUCH for this! You're an excellent teacher. :)
After 2 year
Anis Laplaya I’m pretty sure she way better after 2 years
@@KING-mw8fj yes i sure tooo
How about now?
@@anismerdas I've become a much better skater, but I haven't drilled this stop lol. Time to change that!
what wheels do you have? i’m using rink rat 79A wheels and i feel like they might have too much grip for something like this, could that be possible?
I've been looking for a video like this that goes really far in depth on how to hockey stop this is perfect me and my friend practiced all day and we finally learned how to hockey stop thank you!
Despite growing up in California, now in Utah, I grew up on ice. Never rollerbladed, but thinking of starting due to covid hours restrictions at my local hockey rink. No problem doing a hockey stop on ice. Looks as though procedure is the same with weight transfer, but concrete and asphalt looks so much more unforgiving.
I've been practicing the hockey stop lately, and I definitely have to work on my outside edges. This demonstration is great! Thank you.
Thank you, Shaun! You inspire me to wear protective gear, to work on my fundamentals, to try new things, and do all with fun. You've also inspired me to look into a working holiday to Canada to hopefully skate with you guys. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Hi Shawn, I'm Manuel from Chile and I'm so glad 'cause I've been following the steps to develop a parallel slide and today I made it, I slide about 8 times and it feels strange at first but I'm going to keep trying to get master it, thanks my friend and keep the good work with your vids ✌✌✌
Great ! Thanks for your explanations and your passion ! ciao, Mike
Great video, thanks.
My pleasure
Hi Shawn. What wheels do you use to do your tricks size and hardness?
That's exactly what I wanted to ask
What wheel hardness do you recommend for concrete urban environments like these?
thanks man this is the best paralel slide tutorial
Thank you so much!
This was great, exactly the kind of video I have been looking for lately.
Thanks for producing quality content that is thorough and engaging.
My pleasure. Thank you for supporting the video and the nice comments.
You are now my go-to for tutorials! Clearly explained and broken down into components for practice - a 5* thumbs up - keep em coming!
Brilliant! That's the best tutorial I've seen on parallel slides, thanks!
Thats awesome!
Just wanted to thank you for this video! After two weeks of practice I was able to land my first couple parallel slides! Thanks for the great content and keep it up!
I would like to see you doing a Parallel slide on TARMAC..can you demonstrate this please.as TARMAC all I have to skate on..I have seba FR8.and I cant slide even an inch..thanks..
The parallel powerslide has been one of the hardest power slides for me because of the fact that I could fall on my hip. I usually do a powerslide with my right foot and use my left foot 2 stabilize myself from falling by placing it in a tea stop formation. thank you very much for the video. It does give me something to think about when I practice my parallel powerslide in the future. love the video. ;)
I second that. I've got the exact same issue with the parallel slide, so I tend to powerslide with my right skate and fall back on the left skate (perpendicular to the right).
Try the parallel slide with the other feet. In your case, James, try the parallel slide with your right foot on the outside edge and the left foot on the inside edge.
I am similar in that I prefer to powerslide with my right foot sliding. I find that I am much better at parallel sliding with my left foot on the inside edge and right on the inside edge.
you should turn off the background music. very difficult to properly understand and follow you
Whats your wheel hardness? I have 85As. Do you recommend harder wheels?
I'll give it a try, always wanted to learn this. Thanks for the video :)
You can do it. Let me know how it goes.
Sure thing. Thanks.
Great video, great info (no I can't do any of this but the exercises will be good!) , but dude when you're simply presenting information -talking in the shop- please duck that background music way down! I only care about what you are saying!! Thanks for sharing your experience. 8-)
THE BEST explanation ot this maneuver I've ever seen. Thank you
Greetings from Siberia! I recently subscribed to your channel. I really like to watch your races on deserted city streets! I have a question. I'm a beginner skater. Please tell me-what wheels do you use to brake like this. Stiffness, brand, diameter... Thanks!
What is best?
Seba lominous wheels or powerslide Undercover wheels?
Have you a online store?
Thanks for your great/comprehensive site, now I can delete all those other videos. I do ice skate and I am just starting RB as a way to offseason prep for skiing. I find your ice and RB technique comparisons helpful and encouraging.
"Namaste. I bow." got me! 😆 Thanks for the video.
This is a great video, thanks. I am a quad skater trying inlines, 3x100.
My biggest problem is I feel like they don't turn easily at all compared to my quads. I think my technique is wrong, do you have any tips? I want to this slide but I realise I need to be better at turns first!
Hi nice video like always, is pararell slide some kind of powestop? When do you use parallel slide?
Thnxs 🙌🙌🙌
Shawn your obviously not from this planet ! How did you get here ?, and from where ? LOL !
Can the combination of soft wheels and rough surface make this impossible? What about wheel size? Would it make sense to buy 80mm for the next rolls instead of 84mm or is this irrelevant?
Thank's for the nice video
Hey man, I'm having lots of trouble getting slides down. Whenever I try to get my skates to slide, they just won't do it. I can't even skate backwards and get one skate to slide perpendicular behind me. Do I need to have a certain wheel hardness for this to work? I currently have 85a wheels. Any help would be amazing, thanks.
Nice video! Question. What kind of place is 2:19? Is it a parking lot? Just curious. Looks like a nice flat place to rollerblade.
I'd say, 40/60 - with more on the front, while trying to keep the rear skate underneath seems to give more stability, balance, precision but the angle has to be set-up so the skate won't stick; the 50/50 comes when it's a reflex. Look at how I lean back, attempting to create a straight line with the body-leading foot, I posted a little power stop drill practice: ua-cam.com/video/855Hu26kvcI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AndreiFasola . There's almost no stress on the joints like that. Maybe I'll share one day my observations in a how to one day and the steps I've used for it; in brief I started with brisk j-hook turns, then tight cross-overs (ducks style when they go in circles as a team), and in between I fumbled with attempts and I noticed that speed is not important but focusing on feeling the entry into a slide via a tight turn. The weight balance on the skate is on the 3rd wheel counting from the front of the skate.
Can you do this on say big wheel triple setups ? I like my 3x100's but I'm afraid the wheel being so big it will want to bend rather than slide
I can do very good hockey stops on ice, it’s easy peasy. I tried this on inlines, and got sick of bruises on my lower body, rips in my trousers and deep scuffs in my boots. Plus it eats the wheels.
You have an awesome and very kind way of teaching. I'm a late bloomer to the inline skating world, but I'm glad that I have started skating. It is much more fun than running, and my knees are quite thankful. I am getting better and faster. I definitely need to learn this, as my stopping skills are not very developed.
Thank you!
Thank you Gregory. I love this technique because it is so much fun and it is always better to have different stopping methods.
I'm currently in Kyiv, Ukraine. I may skate a few streets here today. I will send you the video if I do!
Hi Gregory. You and me both. How old were you when skating found you? I'm a year into it, age nearly 49. Possibly the best year of my life! 😀
Very helpful Mr Unwin. Namaste!
You get up so easy from that fall. At the end you said to much weight on back foot, is that what happens everytime (I)fall backwards on my rollerblades/skates? Even when my back wheels gets caught on a rock pebble or one time I was skating on the sidewalk in a park when a tree twig fell right as i was skating there, my back wheel got caught. Was that too much weight on my back foot that caused the fall.
Does the wheel durometer matter? I've got 80a on my skates right now. 84mm. Is this too much grip making it impossible to slide?
So far the best tutorial I've seen on parallel slides. Thanks so much. I still am having trouble getting wheels to slip. I have tried Seba 85A and some Freezy 90A 80mm wheels but they still seem to stick like glue to most surfaces. I'm only 75kg and wonder whether I'm generating enough momentum to get them to break past the static friction point. I have never slipped my wheels on any surface other than wet tiles. It seems like magic to me still. Will work on techniques you mentioned. Thanks.
I am approximately the same weight. I find that regardless of the hardness of the wheels new wheels are much more difficult to slide on.
Try the counter rotation out of a turn. Slowly build up the speed and practise on a smooth surface.
You will get it.
try taking all the weight off the leading blade until your slide catches
starting with which hardness of wheels can I Slide? I have 85A and it's not happening:/
Meu amigo Shawn, nós brasileiros gostamos da tradução em português! Sou seu fã, não só pelo patinador que é mas também pela pessoa que demonstra na simpatia de suas ações! Que Deus o abençoe sempre!!!
Thanks for tips but i have some problem with my weight distribution now
Great video, thank you! Could you repost the link for the skates you used in this video? The link is dead....
I have a problem with spinning out and loosing control and suggestions?
Awesome tutorial dude! What boots are you rocking in this video?
M big fan of you, so could u pls suggest me a skate which will good speed, well grip and good to jumping, sliding as well ......
I donˋt fucking get it. it always ends up in a sharp and nearly uncontrollable turn. 🤨🧐
It is not about body weight transfer ratio. The key is try to place your inner knee in line with your inner shoulder in an even position. once you can do it, you can parallel slide from 70km/h ++
I kept thinking I would snap my legs if I stopped too quick
i think my 76A wheels are to soft to slide, idk i can do ice hockey stops very good like in different ways
big thanks for ur Videos. U r an very enjoyable man, man =)
why with my soft boots 84mm wheels i can parallel/slalom better than hard shell 80mm?
Hello man. I express my deep respect to you! Thanks to your video tutorial, this element began to turn out. Namasute.🙂
У кого не получается выйти на данный элемент после просмотра других обучающих видео, к примеру через плуг ( так многие учат ). Пробуйте по данной методике.
Два сезона пытался по другим урокам научиться резкому торможению со срывом в слайд, безуспешно. Посмотрел данное видео, час практики и о чудо появился прогресс! Научился срываться в слайд и появилось понимание как нужно смещаться, и правильно распределять баланс. Пробуйте. Автору ещё раз искренний респект 😉
I almost wore my rear wheel to a cone yesterday trying to teach myself hockey stops by just turning tighter and tighter until I broke traction and went into a slide. Couldnt get the damn thing to stop without just turning hard left. Will give counter rotation a shot next time I'm on something smooth - might be the key.
Great explanation!! Is that a public rink??
thank you so much for teaching me this now it's time to put this to action
hi good day. just want to ask what wheels should suitable for sliding? i mena the materials. i used some elastic wheels.
Can you do this kind of moves in both directions? When I Powerslide, etc it's always my right foot which is in front. I was wondering weather I should be able to do it with both feet or if it's normal that you only try to master those moves with one foot.
Any extra tips for doing this on smaller wheels?
Great that you can find proper words to express what to do. Thanks!
Can you tell on which type of wheels hockey stop works more effective
🙏 namaste 🙏 where Can i buy good skates in Ontario
hi what type of frames and wheel brand and size are you using?thx
I am using Wizard NR100 frames and Seba CC 100mm/84a wheels.
The frames are made by Leon Basin out of Shop Task Vancouver. They are a natural rocker UFS frame.
shop-task.com/products/wizard-frame
Can I do it with aggressive skate setup?
thanks for the Portuguese subtitle. 🇧🇷
But when I turn if I turn wrong or to far I get a weird resistence and if I take it to fare I fall. Basically I want to know how can I get passed that weird resistence in order to do that fast turn like you can in order to get that sharp quick stop.
Are you using normal roller skates or a specific kind?
Do you have that frame for three wheels because looks very strong.
My skate frames are 300mm long. I am having a hard time turning, the skates just go where they want to and not where I want them to go. Would getting shorter frame skates, such as hockey skates, be any help to me? I enjoy your videos very much, very professionally done.
A shorter frame will be much easier to turn. If you rotate your wheels one to one your wheels will develop a natural rocker that will help with turning.
Very good explanation! :) Thank you!
My pleasure! And thank you for all your great videos.
Aww thanks!
FYI the music is a little loud compared to your voice.
I want to practice this but I have a fear of falling that it's a bit hard to overcome.
Ok so I can do basic turning that's easy but with your turns they look to be faster turns and then you flip your skates into an angle in order to stop.
This is brilliant, thanks Shawn!!
What hardness wheels are you using in this video
What about hardness of the wheels, does it play any role? Better soft than hard?
Awesome,I keep rewatching this one.
Yes guru, I only can learn from you, namaste and newen!!
Its all about the scissor position..thats all.. thats what they didnt/dont want to tell ya
please tell me your web site, I want to get your wizard setup
Can you make a video about branded vs unbranded wheels?
Thank you Shawn.....🇧🇷🙏👏👏👏
Are we suppose to slightly pick up heel while turning?
a bit disconcerting to see you fall, doing this.
What your base this skates in your video ?
Wow... Fast class and one of the best ones....
can you give me a skate please.thx
Thanks a lot for this very nice video !
Great ta
Jesus only truth !!! Xxxx
I like skating bat I have no mony bro
