How to stop on inline skates / rollerblades - 3 stops for beginners tutorial

In this video I will give you a breakdown of three stopping techniques on inline skates / rollerblades that I think are suitable for the beginner skater to learn. Or indeed any level of skater if you have not tried them before.
These are what I refer to as the drag stop, the basic powerstop and the powerslide.
These are the three techniques I taught myself when I started skating three years ago and these breakdowns are how I learnt them. It is not very long ago that I was still learning so I can remember what it was like trying to stop and some of the problems I had. I hope this tutorial will help you out!
Please note though I am not a skate instructor. These are just my ideas on how to learn but I hope you find them useful.
This is not the definitive guide on how you must stop! There are lots of different techniques and variations out there. I would always encourage people to check out other guides and tutorials, whether that is here on KZbin or with your local skate instructor.
Note: Sometimes these stops are called different names, for example the drag stop is also called the L stop and T stop. And the powerstop and powerslide are sometimes inter changeable. Confusing I know!
If you have any questions leave them in the comments and as always I will do my best to answer them.
Happy stopping!

A common question I get asked is 'will these techniques wear the wheels out quicker?' The simple answer is yes they will. However, if you make sure to alternate your feet and also rotate your wheels often your wheels will generally last just fine. I've been using these techniques since I started skating and I've never worried about the wear on the wheels. If it does worry you then don't use these techniques, simple! Thanks for watching.

[@MegaGasek]

@@danhle1032 If you're learning you don't have the tools to judge YET, so you might blame yourself for your failure to learn. I know I do this. His video is extremely good. I often had to pause other videos but in his video there is already a lot of slow motion and he knows exactly when and where to pause as if he himself was learning. This is gold! I think it is the best tutorial I've seen so far. I've been rollerblading for 15 years now but I've never learned these ESSENTIAL techniques. How, you ask? Toronto's Harbourfront trail is just perfect, an almost straight line whether you go East or West, so you don't need to learn these MOST IMPORTANT techniques, I just skate to the grass and stop. I learned something where I turn 360 a few times until I stop, but this is no way to do it. I have to say I also never fell (fear of falling keeps me from learning).

[@Wilbilu]

💯agreed!👍🏼

[@gorgitancevski1358]

as a guy who's been skating for over 10 years i have one tip to give to new skaters. if you are found in a situation when you are rolling at high speed do not use the 1st technique due to it beeing around relying on balance. even for a exprienced blader you could easily brake hard enough to throw you out of balance and land face first.

[@alphaelkdmt3525]

Which should I use then?

[@pedrosoto9568]

Yeah same question , what should i use?

[@gorgitancevski1358]

@@alphaelkdmt3525 use the left and right rolling around up untill you are in a comfortable speed to stop with that technique. i wouldn't write this unless i have experienced this effect on my own body. i was going around 30mph on a downhill and had to quickly stop at a halt and i did the same technique as i use for close scenarios in the city(1st) and the balance shifted from the ground upwards on my body and it was like i was beeing catapultet at a medium distance across the road. luckly i used my hands to fall and no major injury came but it happens even to the most experienced ones

@@whittyskater8854 , What do you think about these braking solutions, it seems that the brake has the shortest way to stop. An example is in the first shot of the film. Regards, Irek kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3vQlYKpfNuXbK8

[@22Tech]

thank you for this!! I've been skating for almost 2 years and still haven't got the powerstop down, this may be the time I finally get it

[@whittyskater8854]

Thanks for watching. Hope this helps you nail the powerstop. Good luck!

[@whittyskater8854]

[@vlada_janjanin]

great video. i just got back to rollerblading and this helps a lot!

[@afghan1622]

Really you teach us inna good manner i learn more in i will keep practice on power stop and on power slide really very essential for me in Kabul Afghanistan 🇦🇫

[@whittyskater8854]

Thank you for watching from Afghanistan! I'm glad the video is helpful. Happy skating.

[@freddyjdukes]

Bro great video. Probably the best vid out there for intro stopping. I'm having issues getting the initital parallel turn for the powerstop though - I just can't do it. I try to scissor my feet like you do but the only way I can get myself to turn is by moving my back foot up - I'm essentially doing an A-turn at that point. Do you got any extra tips for getting the turn down?

[@whittyskater8854]

Thank you for watching. I would suggest putting a bit more weight on your inside foot as you do the turn. You can lean slightly in to the turn to do this. I think this will help in keeping you feet scissored. Also start with wider turns first. The wider the turn the easier it will be to scissor your feet. You can then slowly make the turn tighter and tighter. Hope this helps!?

[@jayjoesadoptedsonbenjamin]

I love this. I was considering buying inline skates because I loved it as a kid. And this is my first video to give me some confidence lol. Very helpful and clear video!! Thanks

[@dankennedy3365]

Awesome stopping tutorial, definitely the best I have seen with the most helpful and usable info and breakdown! Thanks for the work and the video 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@batcho99]

Great vid. The whole family will be practicing these techniques this weekend :) What knee pads do you use in this vid? Cheers.

[@whittyskater8854]

Thank you! Have fun practicing! I'm using Rekd gasket knee pads

[@cjFrese1]

I'm still having a hard time with the track stop (T-Stop). I always spin out. I do end up stopping but not in the correct manner. :( I think maybe I'm not shifting my weight correctly.

[@whittyskater8854]

I had exactly the sane problem when I started. Try keeping more weight over the forward foot and try to remain fairly upright. Eventually your body will learn how to distribute the weight so you will stop spinning out. Good luck!

[@carlag9888]

@@whittyskater8854 thank you! I practiced more today and I'm getting better. Still wary of the power stop, going backwards at speed is my next goal.

[@iorek4149]

Decided to watch this video the day after I nearly break my back attempting to stop on a curb. Great video!

[@MMUS_23]

Amazing material, ill be trying it out later thanks!! 🎉🎉🎉
