What is the correct method of stopping in in-line skates?

Answer 1

There are 5 basic ways to stop on skates:

1)Snow Plow Stop- Coming to an abrupt stop by pushing the side of your blade hard into the ice

2)Toe Pick Stop- With one skate, lightly drag the toepick on the surface of the ice which will gradually bring you to a stop.

3)V Stop- Bring toes together to form a V shape.

4) Run into a wall/other stable object.

5)Grab on to someone else (not reccomended:)

Answer 2

Point ski tips inward without letting them touch or cross over each other. Push out with the back of both feet to make a sort of inverted "V" with the ski tips together and the backs apart. Put weight on the inside edge, bend the knees, and push out sideways. This causes the skier to slow down, and gently stop.

Answer 3

Bend your knees as if you are almost sitting down while keeping them apart. Lean the opposite direction you are going. You should slow down.

Answer 4

One way to stop on figure skates is to place on foot behind you with the toe facing away from you and dragging the toe until you slow to a halt.

Answer 5

Putting the front of the two skates together or leaning on your break.
