- In this episode we take a look at the basics of speed control + stopping on inline skates! These skills will help mitigate injury on your inline skates.
0:00 Start
0:20 Speed Control
5:45 Stopping
9:40 Bonus Tips
UPDATE:
1. T Stop - In my example and explanation I tell you to make a T shape with your feet, this is incorrect. You want to make more of an L shape with your feet. This will help keep you from spinning backwards. Also, your dragging foot doesn't need to be at 90 degrees either, it can be somewhere around 70-80 degrees.
2. Power Stop - What I call the "Power Stop" towards the end of this video is not correct. I am more demonstrating what is called the "Power Slide" (not a good one either lol) which is a bit different stop from the "Power Stop". If you are a beginner or even intermediate skater just disregard that stop entirely for now.
Sorry for the confusion but I did not want to take this video down as UA-cam has recommended it to lot of people and I still think it has useful info for the beginner skater. Thanks again for watching and your support!

Inline skating is dangerous. In some situations, I may choose to skate
without protective gear at my own risk. I highly encourage the use of protective gear.

Please pin this comment, so everyone can easily find it. Great video by the way, I really learned from it 👍
@@fk6840 Whoops thought I did. Thanks for letting me know!
got it! thanks for the tips...
@@ThirtyandRollin Still not pinned :)
I wouldn't disregard any stops at any point. Try them all see what works best for you. I have been skating for 2 weeks now after stopping for the past 15-20 years.. I find the power stop and J turn the easiest. I can't do power slide for the life of me, but power stop is pretty easy. Also the drag T/L stop hurts my crotch muscles, feels like my legs are pulling apart... can't do that at all.
I remember as a child stopping by flying into grass or gravel. It usually worked.
Haha as we all did👍
Nicole exactly this 😂👌🏾
I learned to skate while learning Rollerderby so i stopped by skating into teammates :D
Haha on point
ua-cam.com/video/xJpnYUJed3A/v-deo.html
Also no shame on wearing protective gear, my knee pads are quite an effective brake for me as a beginner. Plus if I fall it's usually not the end of the world.
thx , first rule that they teach scates on = helmet
Great advice. I know a lot of people with serious injuries from inline skating as they didn’t wear protective gear.
@@sharingmatterslol
When I was teaching my son to skate, for braking I focused on the T-stop solely at first. It took me a while to notice that for a long time he was wedging on hills completely intuitively and had no problem slowing down. I had totally forgotten how dependent T-stopping is on being able to balance on either leg, as well as to distribute weight between legs. Without learning proper balance, any sliding technique will make a beginner fishtail and panic. I worked single-leg balancing into his routine and his dragging improved immediately. My advice to anyone struggling with dragging/sliding technique is do the same. If you can't balance on one skate for at least 10 seconds (at speed) you will struggle with stopping.
Totally agree!
this is the kind of advice I really REALLY need... thanks! I love to skate but stopping is still a problem. I'm going to try wedging as soon as I get skating again
i try the T stop and somehow i keep placing too much weight on the front wheel of the back leg then find myself spiraling out of control and falling
@@G.sylvie Yes it needs to be a flat skate and even pressure or you will spin.
I still barely can T stop lol. I am a good skater, I fly through the streets but when i T stop it just feels off and my foot grabs.
ok this video is way too high quality for this few subscribers, i wish the skating community was larger lol
Haha as do I. It is a big reason I do this channel. In hopes to bring back skating one day.
I agree; I had been watching for about 90 seconds when I realized, “dang, this is a well made video; I need to subscribe to this channel.” Looking forward to watching some more vids.
so true! i'm in :)
Same here - not enough vids go into speed control, which is hugely important. Kudos for the helpful vid!
nah once you get into it you relize everyone sucks. I mean come on Tonya Harding bashed in her friends knee with a crowbar and they made a movie about it I, Tonya. N she can do 3 and a half rotations on the flat ground. That's 1080 plus another 180. You wonder why they called this fruit booting. 🎶 We're fruitbooters on the moon. We fruitboot until noon. We do frontside grinds and powerslides and sing our fruitboot tune. 🎶
UA-cam's going to make sure I learn how to skate in the lockdown
Perfect time to learn!
Same! Haven’t skated in a very long time. Glad I kept my old skates.
@@missedith6283 I definitely need to get back into skating. I kind of miss it
I just bought my first set of skates, so I can't relate directly, but I have this. In anything you do, the onlookers will fall in to one of two categories. People who have never even tried what you are doing, and people who have been where you are. So there's no shame in taking things at your own skill level. Also, bonus, you get to live long enough to get better.
Bad ass comment thank you ❤
@@maffytaffy1231 Thank you!
I started inline skating instead of icesating since all rinks are dead close and man, is it different. I always thought they will be similar in technique but it's nowhere even close. Thank you for these videos! They are lifesavers!
Haha nope. When I iceskate it's a whole different world of techniques.
Ha! I started ice skating (did a couple of private lessons) just before everything went into lockdown in London, UK and finally just got my rollerblades (first time since teenage years) last weekend and skated for 3 days and already fallen twice ( I never fell on the ice..yet lol) but yes, I was always afraid of falling and slipping on the ice but boy was I wrong..it's slippery but the surface is all flat and smooth and at worst you will get a bad bruising (unless learning jumps on course) but asphalt sucks for falls! haha I have no ice rink fence to slate to when losing balance or speeding too much, surfaces are uneven and hence dangerous for falls in London neighbourhoods, I nearly fell today because I skated over a flattened acorn at a bit more speed - FML haha and let's not forget how much harder rollerblading is on the ankle because there is no flexible softness of the ice skates' boot when doing slaloms or any crossover turns :D but it's still fun and gives a similar feeling of freedom and gliding through the air in a meantime :D thanks for the video - saving it to learn the basics!! I actually fell yesterday after not realising the basic physics of wheels and going downhill and not having a fence to hold onto haha
@@TatjanaAlexT Haha ya just take it slow. You will get it. Pretty soon it will feel like ice skating and you will just flow! Keep it up!
@@TatjanaAlexT true words!
Yeah I was inline skating and went to a ice rink. And omg... I was bad. Hahaha
I love the spin stop! Basically all I want to do in my blades is spin.
Me too but you often can't use it on urban side walks because you got no space to turn.
This is why I'm still using a heel break sometimes. I have to learn the hockey stop and other ways of stopping perfectly before.
Sidewalk down a hill is really impossible to control for me without a heel break. I could also do the T-Stop but I would have to buy a new set of wheels all 3 weeks if I did.....
Same
I love rhis spinnn
Want to spin even tighter? Rocker your skates with the 2 larger wheels in the middle. He didn't show a backwards figure 8 crossover. Front crossover, come to middle of X turn backwards & crossover. Do this till the fig 8 becomes tighter & tighter till you're in the middle of the X spinning low!! You'll need a low cut boot (V in the back) to really skate like a pro - WICKED FUN!!!
@@robinandrew1223 you should first ask which skates he is using. You cant rocker skates for example if the sizes in-between are 1cm different (90,100,110)
Depending on the type of rollerblades you have, never be afraid of using the actual brake if it comes with one! I do all these techniques and still keep my brake pad on. I'll initially slowdown with the brake pad before going into one of the other stops. I'd rather burn through brakes than wheels IMO. Great video!
Yes, but you’ll find that the brake pads wear out very fast. Use them for when you want to stand still.
100% Exactly! Just finished commenting the same thing before I read your comment.
@@TefenCa what, me, or OP?
A huge thing that helps is wearing pads and helmet, especially if you need to fall sideways, they suck but have saved my skin many times
That's the plan when I decide to focus on slides one day!
good luck finding a urban/freeskater with protection pads. at best you may see someone with helmet. that's it.
@@SapiaNt0mata their loss when they shatter an elbow. IMO vanity is no reason to put my joints and bones and brain at risk.
Especially when i'm learning something new, when I wear safety gear I'm not as scared of falling especially at greater speeds. This allows me to focus more on learning proper technique than not biting it.
@@SapiaNt0mata not true: even if most of the time,i don't wear healmet, i almost always use knee pads. And now, i often use mittens most of the time.
else:
ua-cam.com/video/OGmosuhJp4Q/v-deo.html
(fabien on the video does not use protections, but some of the other riders does)
Helmet is really not the most used. Gloves and knee pads are.
In skate park, when trying to get better and learning new tricks, best riders always use full armors. You can't push to the limit and repeatedly fall without a full body armor.
Mine even has a back protector, crashpads for my coccyx, shin guard, ...
In high speed downhill, rollerblading at more than 100 km/h, we also use full helmet and neck protection.
@@pasmoi4233 i said it's rare to find 1 that wear protection gear and it's true. the majority don't and it's not my opinion. it's a fact.
Just skated for the first time in 15 years or so, and really struggled with controlling my speed. I ended up going down a hill at one point and had no choice but to bail out into the grass. Got scraped up, but far better than on concrete. This video was very helpful, and I plan on working on these techniques next time I'm out.
Welcome back! If you get these techniques down you will have no problems with hills.
I've got an outstanding account with this matter. I'm 45 and I started skating 3 months ago. I can say that I'm really proud of myself despite not having skated in my life. My level right now is pretty good though it has costed me few strokes 🤦🏻♂️😂. Now I'm able to skate all around my city with confidence but I still don't dare to go down steep slopes. I will follow and practice all of your tips. Wish me luck!
Greetings from Vigo, Spain
Awesome Mikel. I just purchase my first 3 wheel skates. They get here next week.. I'm 35 and was riding cheap skates given to me and could not ride longer than 20 minutes. Wish me luck as well
@@jbraMoVal you'll see the way you're improving after getting some good skates 😉
I also started with some cheap ones but once I was able to keep my balance I got rid of them and bought some new ones that costed about 280€. It was great! A new experience to me... And I improved my skating dramatically. Believe me...
Good luck! 🤜🤛
I used to be a pretty good (so I thought) self taught (no youtube, no instructors, no parks) skater, until I did the exact thing he mentioned (going down the hill completely out of control). Got nearly killed, falling on the street and sitting up just seconds before a car came. 6 years later I’m still terrified of skating on even the tiniest hill (or more accurately any kind of uneven terrain ;)) so I came on youtube to watch „how to stop on inline skates” video before I try again. Because I did eventually figure out I was bad at stopping. ;)
So I’m watching him list all the ways to stop... turns out I never knew the easy ones existed. Spin stop and power stop all the way.
NOW that makes sense 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 there is no way you can spin stop on a narrow, uneven pavement right next to the road, and on a big hill. Well I learned some important stuff here, better late than never hahaha :) thank you!
Yep some stops are better than others in some situations. That's why it's good to practice all of them!
Surprise surprise, I just did the exact same thing today. Bought skates and used them for the first time, and was over confident. Went down a steep hill and got road rash all down my leg and up my torso. The pain is crazy, hopefully I can get back into it soon
Omg I used to be good as a kid amd thought I still had it and literally munched it every 5 seconds and froze up and fell back hard😭😭
@@afireonjupiter941 In martial arts, the first thing we practiced was falling down backwards and protecting your head. Slap out with your arms way out before your head comes all the way down.
@@MichaelWilliams-rf2jw i was told to just cover back of your head with your hands as a cushion
"I guess kids are being murdered" 😂😩😫
If you French fry when you need to pizza, you're gonna have a bad time!
Lol! That's right.
I actually went out skating today and I wasnt able to control my speed coming down a steep-ish hill that fed straight onto a main road. I'm so glad this was recommended to me so now I can hopefully be safe in the future. Thank you!
I've been skating for years and would say that t stop is one of my most used stops, even after learning many other stops and slides. It can also be used in combination with a powerstop.
It's a good one!
I'm a figure skater learning rollerblades over quarantine and T stop was my go-to on my skates; T stops are some of the most useful things out there
@@kropotkinnie I agree! Easy to perform and useful under any situation.
Skating for 20 years and I always use a T to slow down and then end basically with the spin or a backwards going J (if the T is going to take to long to come to a complete stop)
@@gregg2k Not a bad way to do it.
Much appreciate these tips! Just started back up rollerblading a month ago after 15 years off. The basics came back easy but trying to control speed/stop with the speed these rollerblades produce now days has presented a real challenge. Looking forward to trying some of these out so I can start exploring new territory instead of just turning around every time I encounter a hill lol
Just ordered a set of blades haven’t skated in about 15years. Excited to start again and crazy to watch this seeing all the techniques I used when younger without ever being taught them just figured them out on my own.
OMG! The pizza wedge... the outside edge! I've been working on it for a few weeks, and couldn't understand why I wasn't improving. I'd been doing it with my inside edge. Thank you, I can already envision success!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
I'm glad you pointed that out, I didn't catch that distinction when I watched the video.
Nice video. I clicked it because I live in a city where streets are mostly irregular and we have many hills. Sometimes I would like to do more urban skating but honestly I'm afraid of the hills and the traffic in adiction to the bad condition of the streets. I wish I could remove at least one of this three obstacles.
Sounds like an advanced area to skate. You will get there just don't throw yourself into the double black diamond run(ski lingo for expert) until your ready!
I find that stopping techniques are so different depending on terrain. If you live in a flat area (like near the beach), so many different versions work. If you have more aggressive hills, stopping is a different ball game altogether.
Very true! Different skating techniques for different terrain. But you can use some of these everywhere.
This was great. I've watched many different skate channels on this subject, and you strike just the right balance between options, difficulty, and clarity. Can't thank you enough.
I’m a beginner that is not very good at stopping techniques. Unless you consider diving-onto-some-grass a stopping technique.
However, I found that my stops were improving once I thought of it more like a L-stop instead of T-stop. I always have to strain a bit to T-Stop and I was often losing control and spinning out. When you push off your back foot to accelerate you’re already very close to an L-Stop already, just need to bend the forward knee and push your back foot out more. Hope this helps somebody. Be safe out there folks.
Yes a T-Stop is really more of an L stop in practice.
My mate did one of those "Spin Stops" once right in front of a garage wall going pretty fast, still mind blowing to me how he didn't crash.. Never seen him do one before and we only just started skating haha On that note I never knew they were a thing!
I generally use Chop Stop to save my wheels if i'm not going that fast or at the end of a T Stop, otherwise a T/Hockey Stop will slow me down loads in a short time (also say hi to your new wedged wheels).
Weird TIP: If you lose control of speed at any time you can skate into the grass and "run" until you slow down. Skating about 14 years now and I tell you running into the grass with my blades on has saved me from a good few falls and trips into people or stupid bollards 😂
Power Stops are a bit like Cess Slides, I feel like you've got to get pretty low for them to work nicely and loads of knee/ankle control to hold the position.
Haha yep they are. Not the best stop but useful to know.
Stuart Lane yo running into grass on skates I think is a huge life saver it helps to understand what you need to do for when you actually need to do it. I use to do more aggro-skate back in the day so I was use to not so friendly skate surfaces and falling a lot. but now it’s a survival skill I continue to utilize while I cruise around
@@SAELIOSMUSIC Yep and it is good to practice it before you have to use the grass.
I bought new skates last year and I went skating the other day for the first time in a few months...safe to say I have it somewhere in me to skate but my mind is always telling me I can't turn or I get way too scared even in the park, where its really safe.. I'm really struggling with turning and stopping and especially skating on uneven surfaces, but this video helped a ton.. ill try practicing later today to see how it went
oh wow, didn’t even know about the pizza and wedge! Only know about the T stop, the J and power stop. Getting back into in-line skating and glad to pick up new tricks/stops.
Enjoyed this - the chop-stop looks so useful - going to try that this week. So far have been relying on carving and t-stop, and need a bigger slow/stop repertoire so this vid was perfect.
Wish I've seen this movie 1 month ago. 105 kg down the hill, speed Like crazy ended up on grass and twisted shoulder. But now I'm prepared!
Sorry to hear that. Next time you will be better prepared! Just take it slow.
Combining chop stop w/ bailing onto the turf or dirt was crucial for me several times, love the vid!
Quality content, I'm getting back into skating after 8 long years. I'm 21 now and I can't wait to start and keep skating for a very long time. Thank you for this video ♥️
Hey man, I turn 30 next Tuesday & got my first ever skates! UA-camd skating basics & your page came up. I'm glad you're doing what you're doing, keep being an inspiration & of course, keep enjoying what you do bro. 🖖🏾
Welcome aboard!
#1 regarding the grass is to ALWAYS be aware of how dry/moist the soil is when you go out that day. The dryer it is the more you can expect to easily roll onto the grass, the wetter it is the quicker and more likely your wheels are going to get stuck and you will have to quickly pick up your feet and run as you hit the grass.
Great point on grass rolling.
@@ThirtyandRollin Thanks. It is great for people of all skill levels to know since there can be those times where it is the only option, ie. when on a sidewalk and you get pedestrians that randomly move in your way at the last second.
Great content! I would just preface the video with your first bonus tip:
ALWAYS KNOW A WAY OUT.
Even if you are decent at some of the stopping techniques, there are always unpredictable circumstances in which you can't stop in time, or you lose control of your skates (car or person comes from out of nowhere, high speed wobble, jammed wheel, etc.)
Learn how to bail out and take a fall first - it could save your life!
Great point!
Thank you for making this. It was concise and very useful. Definitely one of the most important things to know for any kind of skating.
Every time I see someone doing a T-stop I can hear their wheels screaming in pain
Haha I try to not use it that often.
I never even considered side stepping. Knowing that obvious yet not obvious technique makes me much more confident.
Yep it comes in handy from time to time!
Awesome stuff! Very helpful 👍 Great content man! 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome video! Great explanations and tips! I'm pretty advanced ice skater but just picked up a pair of inline skates and look forward to practicing other stop methods rather than relying on the t-stop
The Pizza/Wedge thing @ 2:40 looks extremely awkward! LOL
THANKS for the channel!!
Haha it is but I use it a lot. Thanks for watching!
i agree!
I just bought a pair of blades yesterday, I used to play roller hockey and skate a lot when I was like 14 15 16 now I'm 28 and let's just say I'm not as good as I was lol. I have to teach myself to stop again
One of the best tutorial for beginners, I learnt a lot from this vid, thank you very much from Singapore 🇸🇬
Great video man , well explained,well demonstrate, helpful, good tips,simply great !!!!!👍
Excellent advice! Just what I needed! I’m 56 n haven’t rollerblade in twenty years. Thanks for refreshing my memory, great bonus tips I totally forgot about. People don’t realize how fast you can get going down a 5-10% grade . Before you know it your going 30 mph and then there’s a sharp turn coming up to fast n you have to know how to at least slow down as much as possible before diving into the grass ( if your lucky enough to have that luxury) ! Thanks for the excellent video, I am a new subscriber! Rollerblading is good scary fun on the run! Totally different than skating on a wooden roller rink floor on regular roller skates!
Welcome back! Just take it easy getting back into it.
just ordered my first pair today. they come in a week and I'm really excited to skate!
Awesome! Get out there and get rollin!
Nice vid man. Thanks for the tips 👍
Thank you for this video! I'm buying my first 3 wheel brakeless skates and I am going to try the techniques you mentioned! ♡
I was always jealous of my dad's perfect spin stops even though we were both beginners. He was just one of those people they come naturally to. Now I'm trying to get back into skating at 33 🤪
Awesome! Glad your back at it!
me 43 starting with all this tips trying to push harder in my brain
Tips for the Spin stop (aka the Mohawk spin): you want your shoulders leaning into the circle you're spinning around ahead of your hips; I think you want your weight mostly in your heels as well; the wider you can open your hips, the larger the radius of the circle you will spin around, and the greater the speed you'll be able can handle entering into the spin - turning your back foot out just over 90 degrees will give you a much tighter circle, but it will be harder to handle entering into this spin with a higher speed.
I personally think the mohawk spinout is a really great beginner defensive skating maneuver, but it was one of the skills I was able to get down as a kid before taking skating up 25 years later.
Really great points here! Thank you!
fantastic quality videos amigo! the editing, the music, the framing, narration, information etc. all come together perfectly, keep it up man you're killing it
Thanks for the words! Appreciate it!
One thing I’ve found to control speed on a downhill is what I call the swoop. Start with a lunge turn, but as you approach going perpendicular to the downhill direct your trailing foot around the outside of the turn and back under you next to your inside skate. You should end in a half squat once you’re rolling perpendicular to the slope. Repeat turning the other direction. This uses your legs to arrest your speed and is easy on the wheels.
Those are great for controlling speed on hills!
This was really helpful thanks
No problem!
This is actually really great
Thanks! I hope it helps people.
best video I've seen about this topic, thanks:)
I’m a super new rollerblader and this was really helpful. I’ve been practicing these tricks on flat ground for now because I’m still nervous about going down hills.
Great video dude! If you can show case the slowing/stopping techniques on a slope it will be even better. I saw you have a video on hills. Maybe you can just edit in the parts you executed the skills to show us how you did it on a slope it will be perfect. Good job bro. Not sure if you want to add magic slide into your arsenal? It seems to be a more stable slide than powerstop coming down a hill.
Ya I may do a V2 here soon.
I adventured on traffic, we have a bycicle line but on my second day skating I encountered a hill. I had to ask for help to go down the hill. I went today to challenge the hill by myself and I was still too afraid to go down, the problem is the bicycle line is too narrow and also I am afraid of surprise cars. I will practice your tips and one day I will overcome this I hope. I think stepping sideways might be the best way.
Well done mate. Very helpful.
Pretty honest tips, thanks for sharing I will just add the opening the legs a lot and closing in arrow.
Underated channel
Haha thanks!
Really great video, thank you for sharing the tips!
No problem! Glad you got something from it.
Useful, powerful stopping techniques and bonus tips! For everyone from beginners to advanced skaters. Loved it all. Thanks tons!
No problem! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video. It actually really very informative.
Awesome video man, I generally use the T-stop, but am looking to add some more advanced techniques to my arsenal. One question, do you have a longer frame on your twisters than what came with them?
I put the rb 3x110mm frame on them. It may be a slight bit longer than the stock 4x80 but not 100% sure on that.
Wow...best video like this I have seen. Makes me feel better about my T-stops not feeling all that great!
Phenomenal video… the soundtrack was 💵 the tips were ✅
Thanks so much
Wow I have sooooo much to learn!!! EXCITING!!!
The kids be like:aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
Just bought some 110mm wheel skates, I'm fearing for my life using them, watching this vid calms me though!
Man I got 125’s and haven’t skated in over 20 years. I was str8 terrified last night in the empty parking lot I was rolling through for about 25 minutes. They pick up speed so fast without effort once the rolling begins. The small hills had my life flashing before my eyes. I had to order a pair of 80’s to make sure I start safely not that I’m a rookie again… 😬😬😬😁
Thank you for this! :) great video and I loved the variety of techniques that you offered.
No problem! Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much! Yesterday I skated across the Bayonne Bridge into Jersey... never considered what going back down was gonna be like. Terrifying! Gotta practice all of these techniques!
7:58 ah! This technik can prevents my wheels screaming in pain!
I was hoping for some details on parallel stop :( but the rest of the content generally aligns with my experience. Thanks for summaring up the things!
Sorry I am still perfecting those myself. But will make a video on those soon.
Thank you for this video! my skates didn't arrive yet but im learning and i click on this video i learn alot of useful things again thank you so much.
Very helpful, thanks a lot man!
At the moment the heel stop is my all way out. Works in just every situation even downhill with short break distance. It just gives me a saver feeling for high speed. But I want to learn the Powerslide. Or what is with the Parallel slide?
All good. Do what feels right and keeps you safe.
I think you should add Soul Slides. In my opinion they are easier to learn than Power Slides/Stops but far more efficient than T Stops.
I would have to agree! Thanks for pointing that out.
I've been skating seriously for almost 3 years now, and while I was able to master the powerslide after a few months (pretty much immediately after I could skate backwards), the soul slide still eludes me...
As a novice, I move in the urban environment, although almost everything is flat there are sloping streets. When I come across these streets, I do the speed control in J and instead of avoiding small indentations, cracks or other SMALL deformations, I go through them because they decrease my speed a lot. All this in a controlled way with my legs in the scissors position. Thanks for the advices!!
Freaked out after my brakes didn't seem to help much when I went down a hill and here I am. I was so lucky there weren't anyone nearby, was so afraid I would go so fast that I lose control but my brakes barely slowed me down
Ive been skating most of my life, and I do almost exclusively the t-stop and the spin stop. I always wished I could learn more ways to stop, especially because the t stop can be really damaging to your wheels after a while (and skating on sidewalks its nearly impossible to do a spin stop, so all I really do is t stops) but I could never find a community to learn more tricks. thank you for the video! my goal is to eventually do a power stop
Me too! 😁
i really hate the t stop. Im destroying my wheels instantly....
Thank you, this is great and essential video for inline skating :)
Very helpful video! Came back to this one a few times now.
my fav is power stop regardless the speed i have been doing it since competitive days (from junior high days ) it keeps getting better with practice!!!!!
I use a lot of techniques when I’m just having fun, but when push comes to shove, the pizza has saved me the most. Wouldn’t have learned that move so quick if not for this video!
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know! Glad I could help in some small way!
Should have watched this video before going down a hill and falling super hard yesterday. Thank God only my muscles are stiff back is not broken and no collapsed lung the doctor said. But i am too afraid to go back on skates again.
@@angelikadepelika3758 O nooooo don't let that stop you. Just take it easy. Baby steps. It takes time.
@@angelikadepelika3758 Big falls like that are scary, but please don't stop skating. Try some smaller slopes, ones with grass to bail in on the side. Eventually you'll look back at that hill and wonder why it ever gave you so much trouble. You got this!
That said, give your muscles a bit of time to recover. Get well soon!
I watched this video after realizing I am on a steep, long hill at full speed... in front of me - a crossing made out of larger stones. Thankfully I skated over them, but the fear I felt was immense. Speed was so huge that T braking had no effect. Thanks for the vid, hopefully I won't break any bones
Thank you man! I’ve watched many MANY videos on controlling speed plus stopping and this is probably the best. I mean that! I’ve taken screenshots and everything and I wish it wasn’t raining at the moment cause I’d go practice all this right now. Thank you again!
Hey no problem! Thank you for watching and I am glad you enjoyed it!
If you wanna learn the power stop I would recommend learning the J-turn first! I know from experience :)
11:33 It almost scares me that you are immune to kids screaming like they are being murdered... Hahaha just kidding of course
Got a 2 year old at home so I am a bit immune lol
Thanks! I just got mine for Christmas so I practice in my community streets. I knew I needed to look up some stops after rolling down a hill and panicking xd
Esse vídeo é sensacional , muito bem explicado , parabéns excelente
I want pavements like these where I live!
It's nice skating at the new school.
The way I'm tryning to convert my ice skating basic knowledge of stopping to inline skating-
This was so helpful!! Thank you!
You did an awesome job! 👍Very helpful, informative video. I'm getting back into skating at 52 after an almost 30 year hiatus, and it's just like riding a bike 🙂. I love it. Your content deserves more subs. Thanks again!
Thank you! It's a slow but consistent growth here so I am happy!
Once i made a downhill with cars in the finish line.
I did almost die but ok. I thought the T break would be good.
But turned out that T stop takes one leg to break... is difficult to do this in a downhill.
Sometimes is better to not stop in certains situations.
Or stop Just when you die (just kidding).
OMG yeah. same!!!
I'm not balanced enough and I'm too scared to go on one leg to be able to T stop
I usually drag T stop into J turn when going fast. Tendonitis in my knees prevents me from doing anything too aggressive. Growing old sucks!
Me too.
The disappointment on your face when you’re talking about the side step 🤣🤣
I can’t tell if you’re having flashbacks of a time you had to side step or if you feel ashamed to be teaching it.
Great video btw, very easy to understand. Definitely going to rewatch this next time I skate.
Haha naw I think was just getting tired of filming at that point. No shame in the side step💪
Imma try the chop stop soon! Just started skating a days ago and just learned how to turn. Still practicing how to stop/brake. Can't figure out the T-stop, i always find myself turning with the brake foot and gets me out of balance lol.
Thank you for the tip! Liked and subscribed. 👍
