Stopping in inline skates is a crucial skill for skaters of all levels. It helps control your speed, avoid collisions, and maintain balance. There are several effective techniques for stopping in inline skates, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
One common method is the T-stop. To perform a T-stop, extend one leg backward and place the toe of your skate on the ground. Lean into the stop and drag the toe until you slow down or come to a complete stop. This technique is relatively easy to learn but can be less effective at higher speeds.
