Inline skating, also known as rollerblading, is a popular recreational activity that involves skating on inline skates. Inline skates are similar to traditional roller skates, but they have a single row of wheels instead of two. This design makes them faster and more maneuverable than traditional roller skates. To enjoy inline skating safely, it is important to learn how to stop effectively.
There are several different ways to stop on inline skates. The most common method is to use the T-stop. To perform a T-stop, simply extend one leg out to the side and drag the toe of your skate on the ground. This will create friction and slow you down. Another way to stop is to use the heel brake. Most inline skates have a heel brake that can be used to slow down or stop by pushing down on the brake with your heel. Finally, you can also stop by simply dragging both of your feet on the ground. This method is not as effective as the T-stop or heel brake, but it can be used in an emergency.
