How to Stop on Inline Skates: Beginners Tutorial!

Getting skating on inline skates is fairly easy, even for beginners. But how to stop? That's a big question, because you can't really slide into a stop like on ice.
However, you do need to learn how to stop, and in this video I'll show you three ways to do this: two for beginners, and one for more advanced skaters.
Have fun out there out your rollerblades!

Good stuff. The stop is keeping me from skating more! The more confident I am in stopping, the more I'll be skating! Thank you!

[DominicCronin]

Your advice is absolutely correct about the heel brake, or stopper. It's a very effective way to stop. What's not very clear from your demo is that if your skates are next to each other, it won't work. You need to first scissor one skate forward (the one with the brake on) and the other one backwards. Then you'll be able to use the brake. Maybe for an experienced skater this is so obvious that it's not worth mentioning, but trust me, many beginners will miss this detail, and struggle because of it.

Awesome Marcel! Been following your off ice videos, really enjoying the Marsblade.

This is definitely the hardest thing I have been trying to learn. When at a public skating session, there are a lot of speed skaters and beginners mixed in, so the chances of running into someone are high. I have to try to avoid them all the time because I can't stop at higher speeds. When I'm at a low speed, I can pull a 180 turn to stop but annoying because I end up facing the other way. Thank you for this tutorial

These videos are awesome, thank you. Can you do a tutorial for pivots on inline skates for hockey situations ? Perhaos run thru some game situation type turns / pivots? That would be amazing!

One of the useful Vids at all ! I believe, the best scater is'nt one who can accelerate and run fast, but that one who can break and stop fast...better to say - can forsee and avoid the dangerous situations.✋ Thanks, Marcel...
Just have a brand new pare of Graf Supra for that Saison...ready to bake🤣🤣🤣🤣✋

[shifuugincii]

one of the most practical video out there

[teeslifebudgetingadulting]

What drills would suggest for t stops or how to gradually practice it?

[WoMo]

Hey Marcel, excellent video! Im interested in your setup, are these marsblade holders and if, which ones? What kind of wheels do you use?

[tommyavlastenok]

Hi Marcell.
Good to see that the tradition of teaching inline stopping techniques continue on YouTube. There must be a couple of thousand videos by now.

Many YouTube skaters have developed a common terminology for stopping techniques, and I would like to ask you to adhere to that terminology. What you call "the stopper" is usually referred to as "the heal break". And what you call "the leg drag" is usually referred to as "the T-stop".

If we strive to use the same terminology, in stead of re-inventing the wheel every few months, we can help each other search out the good stopping videos.

Best regards,
Tommy.

Thx Marcel. Much obliged Sir. I’ll give it a whirl.

[solsito]

Hello Marcel! What I most like of this channel is that you take time to answer all of our questions 😃👍
I'd like to know why you call It ”semi" hockey stop? What's the difference? Thanks so much!

[uletbulu]

best technic tutor. i have try first drill and turn from him and it's work.

like they said. German always work🤣🤣

[CatzzSkatesFamily]

Marcel thank you for the tutorial. I watch a lot of stopping techniques from other channels, but you explained it the best.

This video helped me understand stopping concepts on rollerblades. Like you said, you don’t have to always put all your body weight into 1 full stop. You can stop other ways too. I think this is the most important concepts for beginners.

T stops is great for flat surface, but i think it’s too risky on long steep downhills.

Thank you again. I would not be the rollerblader I am today without this video. 😊 ❤

[thejessicka]

Thank you so much for showing examples on hills! Super helpful.

[michaeljuliano]

How do you like the R1 chassis? I went with the O1 because everyone raved about it in online reviews, but I couldn’t find much on the R1.

[thorstenwyciszok]

Super Video ist echt schwer als Anfänger einen Hockey Stop zu können

[xileets]

I started skating a little while ago, but the surfaces I'm on are very uneven, and I quickly found that the heel stop would catch on the surface... not good. It's necessary, I think for any potential urban skater to learn more versatile stops.

[frankwesthoefer]

Check out acid slid, t- stop to the Front, soul solide, magic slide.... As a Skater hockey Player the hockey stop on Sport court or concrete is easy for me. If you can do it on concrete you can do it on ice but not the other way around, lol

[chaios]

For the T-stop, some tutorials I watched applies the pressure on the leading foot instead of the one dragging behind. Your technique applies it on the dragging foot, am I correct?
