Braking on ice skates is a crucial skill for any skater to master. It allows you to control your speed and direction, and to avoid collisions with other skaters or objects on the ice. There are several different ways to brake on ice skates, and the best method for you will depend on your skill level and the conditions of the ice.
One of the most common ways to brake on ice skates is the snowplow stop. To do this, simply point the toes of your skates inward and push your heels out. This will create a wedge-shaped surface that will slow you down. The snowplow stop is a good option for beginners, as it is relatively easy to learn and control.
