How to Stop on Inline Skates: Beginners Tutorial!

[@MrIzzy4real]

Good stuff. The stop is keeping me from skating more! The more confident I am in stopping, the more I'll be skating! Thank you!

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

You’re welcome!

[@rishitfamilyandfriends]

good one

[@jakepapa6516]

Nah, being a scaredy-cat for lack of a better and different cat is the reason you don't skate... or lazy.

[@MrIzzy4real]

@@jakepapa6516 Nah, your lack of ability to read is the reason for your misunderstanding... I didn't say I Don't skate... I said keeping me from skating MORE!! I skate often on flatland around the bay and speed skate the stadium parking lot... Just not downhill yet on my speed skates so... nice try keyboard bully but who's got egg on their face now?

[@DominicCronin]

Your advice is absolutely correct about the heel brake, or stopper. It's a very effective way to stop. What's not very clear from your demo is that if your skates are next to each other, it won't work. You need to first scissor one skate forward (the one with the brake on) and the other one backwards. Then you'll be able to use the brake. Maybe for an experienced skater this is so obvious that it's not worth mentioning, but trust me, many beginners will miss this detail, and struggle because of it.

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Thanks for the feedback. I didn’t mention it because I felt that if you lift the toe of the braking skate it will automatically move forward into a scissor. But you’re right that I didn’t think that this might not be natural for beginners!

[@RomyRF]

Omg that's why I can never do it with the brake... Thank you, I'm going to try again now!

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

@@RomyRF you’re welcome and good luck!

[@BlackyRay_Patrick]

@@RomyRF you can even put your both hands on your kneels while breaking. This will give you more strengh and a better posture or safer posture while breaking

[@RomyRF]

@@BlackyRay_Patrick That's a good tip, thank you!

[@StormRaid417]

This is definitely the hardest thing I have been trying to learn. When at a public skating session, there are a lot of speed skaters and beginners mixed in, so the chances of running into someone are high. I have to try to avoid them all the time because I can't stop at higher speeds. When I'm at a low speed, I can pull a 180 turn to stop but annoying because I end up facing the other way. Thank you for this tutorial

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

You’re most welcome! Glad I could help!

[@horsied]

it’s better to go during the day when there are less speed skaters and rink rats there. at least in my area

[@teeslifebudgetingadulting7982]

What drills would suggest for t stops or how to gradually practice it?

[@ThemortgagespecialistCanada]

These videos are awesome, thank you. Can you do a tutorial for pivots on inline skates for hockey situations ? Perhaos run thru some game situation type turns / pivots? That would be amazing!

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Thanks! I’m planning something like that but not until next summer. In the Winter I stick with the on-ice stuff

[@knowledge_leaf]

4:00 I've been trying to do that stop, but every time my wheels contact the pavement even Slightly while turned, it's like someone just Yanked my leg from behind, which is Really hard to balance.

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Turn your foot completely, and experiment with the angle of your stopping foot. More angle might be smoother (exactly the opposite of on ice where more angle is a much more abrupt stop)

[@tommyavlastenok7960]

Hi Marcell. Good to see that the tradition of teaching inline stopping techniques continue on KZbin. There must be a couple of thousand videos by now. Many KZbin skaters have developed a common terminology for stopping techniques, and I would like to ask you to adhere to that terminology. What you call "the stopper" is usually referred to as "the heal break". And what you call "the leg drag" is usually referred to as "the T-stop". If we strive to use the same terminology, in stead of re-inventing the wheel every few months, we can help each other search out the good stopping videos. Best regards, Tommy.

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Hi Tommy, Thank you for your information. I will unfortunately not be able to abide by your request. There are often many different terms for the same skill. What is called a Mohawk in North America is called a hip-opener in Germany. Both terms are correct. What used to commonly be known as a simple tight turn is now for whatever reason called a punch turn. The list could go on. Nobody is trying to reinvent the wheel. Just to teach people how to stop, regardless of what the stop is called.

[@tommyavlastenok7960]

Hi Marcell I have never heard of the Mohawk. Or the hip-opener. And I have been inline skating for 20+ years and watched KZbin for as long as I remember. Please respect the terminology that has developed in the skating community. Try to search for "inline skating mohawk" and see how many hits you get as opposed to a search for "inline skating t-stop", you see the difference and why it matters?

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Haha yep! They always end up faster than us at some point!

[@xileets]

I started skating a little while ago, but the surfaces I'm on are very uneven, and I quickly found that the heel stop would catch on the surface... not good. It's necessary, I think for any potential urban skater to learn more versatile stops.

[@koennagle]

Anything can stop me. Thx for tips

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

You’re welcome!

[@solsito6669]

Hello Marcel! What I most like of this channel is that you take time to answer all of our questions 😃👍 I'd like to know why you call It ”semi" hockey stop? What's the difference? Thanks so much!

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Hi, It’s not really a full hockey stop because a full hockey stop puts a lot more weight on the back leg. Here we‘re using pretty much just our front leg.

[@gudrunherold3533]

[@irafair3015]

I've been ice skating for about six months and have been playing hockey for about four months. My skating ability is increasing and I can hockey stop without any trouble. Yesterday, I bought a pair on inline skates so I can train outside during the Summer. However I must say this video did not fill me with confidence about stopping on inline skates while near traffic or going down the street or on sidewalks. You mentioned you feel as though you would not crash while stopping using the three techniques. It's not crashing per se that concerns me. It's moving objects crashing into me because I can't stop in time to avoid them that concerns me. Inline skating outside near cars and bikes and people doesn't seem practical.

[@liambennett9966]

It's all about muscle memory, practice, practice, practice. I have just started inline again after over 20 years and I'm slowly improving. I wouldn't dream of taking on street skating in traffic on the roads and pavements just yet. Work on the fundamentals in an open area like a car park on an evening where traffic is minimal to none. This was the barrier to me putting in practice, it took me a long while to find a spot. Once I found a place I started working on drills in relative safety. it makes all the difference. Maybe look at other tutorials by aggressive/street inline skaters such as Shaun Unwin or Bill Stoppard. The later is a master of the power stop, a variation of the hockey stop.

[@irafair3015]

@@liambennett9966 Thanks for the recommendations. I know of a spot where I can practice and I will check out the skaters. Thanks again.

[@irafair3015]

@@liambennett9966 Update: I just checked out a Bill Stoppard video. Wow, the dude can skate. It was inspiring!

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

I think then, with your fear, it’s important to learn to turn quickly, not to stop, because honestly, you are not going to learn to do a full hockey stop on inline skates after only skating for about a year. Bill Stoppard is a phenomenal skater and his sideways stopping tutorial is great, but that’s an extremely advanced skill, nothing for a beginner inline skater. I fully recommend getting a stopper put on (you can stop very quickly with one), and learning how to do quick sharp turns like a showed in the one version.

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

I think being agile and having quick reactions is just as important as stopping and being able to jump, dodge, roll on one foot, both ways etc etc are all good skills for traversing busy places. Keeping your speed sensible for where you're skating is a good idea as well. Things like stepping, pushing your feet out etc are good for shaving off speed as well.

[@CatzzSkatesFamily]

Marcel thank you for the tutorial. I watch a lot of stopping techniques from other channels, but you explained it the best. This video helped me understand stopping concepts on rollerblades. Like you said, you don’t have to always put all your body weight into 1 full stop. You can stop other ways too. I think this is the most important concepts for beginners. T stops is great for flat surface, but i think it’s too risky on long steep downhills. Thank you again. I would not be the rollerblader I am today without this video. 😊 ❤

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

You're most welcome! Yeah I totally agree- for beginners just coming to a stop is the most important thing- it doesn't really matter how (as long as it's not a crash). And for people coming from ice skating, stopping on rollerblades is actually quite hard because it's one of the few skills where the technique is totally different compared to on ice.

[@WoMo091]

Hey Marcel, excellent video! Im interested in your setup, are these marsblade holders and if, which ones? What kind of wheels do you use?

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Thanks! Yeah they're the Marsblade R1s, but I've used the O1s before as well. They're both good but different. The R1 comes with 2x 80mm and 2x 76mm 74A hardness wheels. I'll switch to harder wheelsnext cuz I usually skate out on the street

[@colleenkartychak691]

Is there any thing to practice to make a hockey stop easier.

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

Not really. Just the actual movement itself

[@solomongodwin3102]

Hy just follow your channel, i just got my new in line skate. Am a beginner.. I have crack my bones and fell many times... Is that part of the drills for a new skatters

No you need to be doing beginners drills. Stopping is advanced

[@Boomcheeks27]

How do like the R1 chassis? Are they too heavy at all? Or is not too noticeable? Thank you.

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

They are super light. In terms of the „whippyness“ of a Marsblade chassis though, I liked the O1 better. The R1 doesn’t rock as much

[@Boomcheeks27]

@@MarcelsHockeySchool that’s good they’re light, I was going to use them for competitive roller hockey so don’t need too much rocking. Thank you!

[@Dreamer_121]

One of the useful Vids at all ! I believe, the best scater is'nt one who can accelerate and run fast, but that one who can break and stop fast...better to say - can forsee and avoid the dangerous situations.✋ Thanks, Marcel... Just have a brand new pare of Graf Supra for that Saison...ready to bake🤣🤣🤣🤣✋

[@chaios]

For the T-stop, some tutorials I watched applies the pressure on the leading foot instead of the one dragging behind. Your technique applies it on the dragging foot, am I correct?

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

I'd say that although a fair amount of my body weight is over my front foot, I do need to be pushing down with as much force as possible with the back foot in order to stop quickly. So front foot is more body weight, while back foot is active pressure.

[@tommyavlastenok7960]

@chaios Can you please give a link to a tutorial that apply T-stop pressure on the front foot? Very interesting!

[@robertsine8812]

Thx Marcel. Much obliged Sir. I’ll give it a whirl.

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

You're welcome! Have fun!

[@michaeljuliano8839]

How do you like the R1 chassis? I went with the O1 because everyone raved about it in online reviews, but I couldn’t find much on the R1.

[@MarcelsHockeySchool]

The R1 is very smooth. I had the O1 for four years before that. It’s also very good. If you want more rocking, go with the O1. The R1 rocks less.

[@frankwesthoefer8062]

Check out acid slid, t- stop to the Front, soul solide, magic slide.... As a Skater hockey Player the hockey stop on Sport court or concrete is easy for me. If you can do it on concrete you can do it on ice but not the other way around, lol

[@BladeRunner-PFK]

@@MarcelsHockeySchool Exactly! He used to use Adapt 90A wheels and I was sliding all over the place with them. He toned down now to 88A but I still use 85A on Asphalt and 78A in hall. The stock wheels on all street roller hockeys are 82A but majority of the roller hockeys come with indoor 78A wheels and they stick too much to the asphalt and throw you over. Also you need to replace them more often.
