BRAKING & STOPPING TECHNIQUES

[@OwlyWoods]

I owe you a lot. I started taking my daughters to skate parks because I was tired of seeing them on iPads and phones every weekend. I never thought about skating myself, but it started to grow on me and became my weekly escape. Just watching them fall and get back up for hours on end without complaining, all while having fun, is an incredible activity beyond just the sport itself. I started watching your videos to see what aggressive skates I should buy for them, and you ended up motivating me to start skating myself. It's been a month now and I think my progress has been good. With the stress of the last few months, this activity has really helped me a lot. I'll visit your store at the first opportunity. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@Thisissoul]

wow amazing owlywoods! good job on the progress. keep enjoying yourself and see you soon!

[@mean78mashine]

I recognize what you describe with ipads and children, I have the same story as you, and now, Dad i love it.

[@allanf931]

Can relate very much! Haha

[@wojtekkowalski8983]

Skating is healing, keep it up bro!

[@OwlyWoods]

​@@wojtekkowalski8983 200% This thing is turning me into a fit, zen master, NOT JK! I'm conquering medium ramps atm through real practice now my daughters rate my face-plants a solid 10! Forget therapy - give me a skatepark any day, not even skates needed just watching ppl skating is great.

[@Armand3743]

​@@ThisissoulThanks! Your videos help me a lot in learning! I've improved a lot in a month and my legs are getting stronger every day, haha. Skating is a ton of fun. The only tutorial I haven't found is about sprinting! I've analysed a lot of Bill Stoppard's videos but I think a tutorial made by you guys would be a lot easier to grasp, could you do one please?

[@Dje_remMusique]

@@Thisissoul Yes, you need to pin this message for all of us Thx for the great vidéo

[@Dailyroach]

snow plow into power slide or hockey stop as we call it is the one i use the most . very effective .

[@JacksonSmith-z3e]

Dude thanks a lot! I started 3 weeks ago and im so happy with that, so intrested. Your shop is awsm,❤Hello from Republic of Moldova!

[@Thisissoul]

good to hear! good luck practicing

[@asagk]

Funny thing to me is, while I never skated before, that many claim skating would be like ice-skating. But when I listen and watch your movements most the time it remembers me much more of typical movements used in skiing than of ice-skating.

[@HerManyJoysss]

That shop is what i hope my room in heaven looks like!

[@pouetpouet9775]

I really appreciate that you tell about STOPPING techniques and BRAKING techniques (all videos I've seen do not talk about actually stopping, as in precision stopping). I can brake but I'm always anxious when I need to be precise about it, for instance when having to cross a road or something. Now I know what to practice :) Also, the name "peanut butter" made me laugh, gonna use it a lot!

[@Thisissoul]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DiegoMontealegre]

I’ve been watching your videos from Colombia in South America, and practicing for a couple of weeks now. Great videos, man. Thank you. I’m 42 years old and I hadn’t skated since 25 years ago, but with your videos now I’m skating better than then 😂. I don’t have any plans to go to Europe soon, but if I ever do, I’ll go to Amsterdam and visit your shop, for sure. 🛼⛸️

[@fL0p]

no sé que pasa con esa edad exactamente pero he visto un montón de posts en el subreddit rollerblading (/r/rollerblading) en el que el OP tiene 42 y vuelve a patinar después de un montón de tiempo, jejejeje aquí alguien con 37 que vuelve también después de pegarme más de 8 años sin patinar así que me incluyo en tu grupo Mucho cuidado y pásalo bien, saludos desde España!

[@niri2506]

Love how many people are skating in that park 😊 Thanks for the great tutorial btw will try some of this later :)

[@JF-lt5zc]

Great video! Your channel is full of great tips! Just getting back into skating since my early 20s. I'm 55 now! Unfortunately I couldn't' buy my skates from your shop since what I wanted wasn't in stock (RB Lightening 90s in 44). Ended up going with Loco, also a great shop/channel. I never really learned the stopping techniques back when I skated, other than the heel brake. I plan on practicing the techniques you demonstrated here and really appreciate the time it took you to put this video out!

[@GoFoggy]

After decades long distance skating only (marathons mainly), started inline skating too this year for manoeuvrability and because I struggle a bit with strong breaking. So a very welcome tutorial, thnxs Ivo!

[@Thisissoul]

You can do it!

[@mean78mashine]

I've been watching your videos for quite a while now, for the past year I've been practicing inline skating and all the different techniques and i getting better with each insight. But now back to your videos and your educational way of learning that makes me shine now as I try to get my kids to progress in their inline journey. Tack så mycket och fortsätt med det goda du gör!

[@Thisissoul]

Thanks!

[@mean78mashine]

I and the family are planning a weekend in Amsterdam within the next year, with a trip to your shop with a couple of new inline skates booked so we'll see each other so we can thank you in person.

[@alexandrecarvalho7628]

i started inline skating again after 8 years of not doing it, this was an instant subsribe! Very good info and explainings

[@Op-ez7hs]

Amazing park

[@FredHsu]

Thanks for making these videos. They are so helpful.

[@ericmoyer4605]

That T brake to circle made me feel like a pro lol. Still far from it but having fun. Thanks for taking time to help me pick out some awesome skates when you were technically closed on King’s Day! I’ve learned so much from your videos. Thanks again 🔥🙌💕

[@mean78mashine]

You are very pedagogical and good at teaching the techniques, thank you!

[@Thisissoul]

thank you!

[@1vladcard]

First of all I love your videos. I wish I had known out your shop when I was in Amsterdam a few years ago. I go to Israel every year.. I will try to manifest a stop over at Amsterdam next year!! Ps: I believe the proper way to say it is " today, I will TEACH you how to fall with grace.." As opposed to ".. I will LEARN you.." I have LEARNED a lot of good tricks from you because you are good at TEACHING proper ways of skating.

[@kamae79]

Thanks man! One of the most usefull stop and breaking videos I found in youtube! Subtitles from 3:40 up to 5:30 and any other moment when you spreken Nederlands would be highly appreciated :)

Thank you for that video, that what I need right now. I’m pretty ok on rollerblades(learning one year maybe), I can ride trough the city whatever surface is, I can brake, but I can’t extreme stop yet

[@VLADAWAYChannel]

Gosh, that was very helpful! Thank you man, your videos keep me inspired to skate more

[@Thisissoul]

Awesome!

[@Thisissoul]

Rock on!

[@matteobesson9431]

A breakibg technique that I'm using a lot is doing a lot of short turn to slow down. It doesn't damage my wheels and it can be use to start a slide right after

[@EnglishRain]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@zuchtdieneue2827]

Your video is really cool dude, I'll show it the newbies and even intermediate skaters. Clear explanations and showing techinques^^

[@zuchtdieneue2827]

@@Thisissoul I'll go check on theese, for myself I am working on new sliding techniques mixing up compas to soul/acid, toe acid etc. Been watching your videos for a time and it is always goid for learning. Can't wait to get wizard setup in a few months

[@BuDu-ms2qe]

Loving this video! Skating on sidewalks around pedestrians and traffic you have to use different stopping techniques since all scenarios are different. I learned the PB stop from your other video and I apply it very often! Specially coming up to stop walk signs in order to press the button.👍

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nigobaby]

enjoying the videos...keep them coming!

[@Thisissoul]

Thanks, will do!

[@LordBokito]

Awesome thanks! I've developed quite some control in terms of fine motorics (not sure if steenkolen-Engels 🤐), but my skating style rather evolved that way rather than during more dedicated training sessions. And even though I like to be as focused as possible (love that "flow" feeling!) I feel like I'm somewhat "stuck" now, with only more general things improving (speed / accuracy / fine muscle movements etc.).For example, I can do T-stops quite naturally and controlled, but apart from that only able to stop by making a small turn into a sort of powerstop-ish position. It works but this Frankenstop is very random and "evolved", so I think it couldn't harm learning some proper techniques (and getting more aware of wtf I'm actually doing during those manoeuvres). So that made me look for decent tutorials. The more the better because they all have their different approaches and nuances that might have that "click" with me in certain ways, or give me new insights that might me just the bit needed to push me over some hurdle. So thanks a lot! ❤ P.S. love the new wheels (and bearings) I recently bought at your shop, seems like they know how to handle some proper beatings ;)

[@Thisissoul]

great! enjoy the wheels and good luck practicing

[@YocelinRoLLer]

What is the brake to keep your tires from wearing out your tires?

[@jokcho5]

id be more careful dropping on a wrist like that.. it can easily dislocate or break.

[@00x2A]

And remember to always ADAPT YOUR SPEED ! This is a mistake that even experienced rider makes. When you approach an intersection/pedestrian crossing/etc when driving with your car, you slow down in case you have to break. Well skating is the same, even more so since breaking/stopping is not as trivial as just pushing a pedal. Always look at your environnement and adapt your speed accordingly. Too many rider just want to go full send all the time. Just because you can, does not mean you should :p . If you know you might have to stop, slow down and it will make stopping that much more easier and safer.

[@Thisissoul]

100%

[@magnumpunch]

Can you please show a valid stopping / braking tecnique that work in a narrow confined lane. Like I use to skate on a lane that has a kurb on each side and it's only 1,5m wide. So no room to streer bend or turn. Thank you, cheers!

Hello.. I have a question, I'm very short only 4'11..you think getting inline skates that has highboots could affect my strides? I have an oxelo 100 and i feel like they're too high for my short legs..

[@DownandOutNYC]

That knee stop/mermaid reminded me of the Harley Davidson riders back in the day who were promoting that if you're going to inevitable crash, to purposely lay the bike down on its side and ride atop it so you don't get hurt.

[@dubbingpros]

can you please make a video about the magic slide because I am really struggling to get it although I have got my soul, and power slide perfected.

[@Thisissoul]

you can do soulslide but not yet magic slide? first off, well done on learning the soulslide then. We will do a video about the magic slide sometime, someday for sure, not sure when!

Now, I don't have a lot of experience with inline skating specifically, mostly skiing and ice skating, but I did enough of it to know that heel brake is almost useless.. even falling is probably going to stop you quicker

[@ericbernardi8116]

Soul slide to powerslide is a nice combo... And spin stop to powerslide is useful if you misjudge the grip and it starts to slide... And of course soul to magic which I can't do 😢

[@Thisissoul]

hm interesting

[@Some_Guy_87]

I almost gave up on this topic with just knowing how to T-stop - as a mere fitness skater who is scared of going backwards at higher speeds there really aren't too many "easy" options, and the soul slide always seems like it's unattainable for me. Maybe the plow and sitting prep mentioned here will finally help. I'll probably stick to my "just be slow within the city" mantra though.

[@Thisissoul]

main thing is that you keep on practicing allot, play around and have fun

[@guy9360]

I have a feeling I'll master the power stop before I master the soul slide I still have no idea how that works both my knee and hip hurt so much every time I try it and nothing is sliding anywhere

[@polyton4539]

I would've liked to see yourself do a mermaid emergency brake, with some speed

[@Thisissoul]

This video is just a summary of all the techniques check out the mermaid falling technique video. I do it there.

[@there_is_no_switch]

Which stopping techniques do you think are easiest on the knees?

[@Thisissoul]

hmm that is a hard question. any knee injury is different and results in different techniques being easier maybe.

[@Tastejoyid]

Wat is de beste stop techniek voor downhill op een rechte weg met veel andere mensen voor je ;-) #utrechtskateparade

[@Thisissoul]

Dat hangt van je niveau af. de gene die je als eerst moet kunnen, is om het te doen als een val techniek, dus of 1 knie op de grond als, of een zeemeermin. Werk aan je plan B voordat je met je plan A begint. Dan tijdens de utrecht skate parade kan je het beste T-braken, alleen is T-brake voor veel mensen heel moeilijk. De pingquin rem is het makkelijkst denk ik maar wel mat breeder dan de T-brake.
