I am 32 and I just started skating. There is so much to learn. I still struggle with stopping. I try the T-stop but my whole body turns around and I lose balance when I try it. I am hoping to get the game up soon. These videos definitely help. Thank you, Ricardo!!

Great video, really well done.

Just want to note: I've been street blading since I was 12. 30yrs later, I can stop any of the ways shown, but mastering using the standard break is by far the most reliable and safest when are are at speed. Mastering using the break means your breaking skate is fully out in front of you and your trailing skate is 100% in line behind it acting like a rudder on a boat allowing you to choose if you want to put just a little or up to nearly all your weight on the break and still control your movement. Further, having one foot fully in front and one behind allows you to do this on very rough terrain without being pitched off balance... most street surfaces are a bit less than ideal. ;)

Benefits:
1) You can still control trajectory (you can still alter your direction)
2) Your breaking surface is out in front of you meaning you can put more weight (nearly all of it) on the breaking surface allowing you to stop nearly as fast as the slide/power stop but with far less risk (especially on non-ideal surfaces)
3) You can use it on imperfect surfaces
4) You are not shredding your wheels
5) You have high control over the rate of breaking


The result is you have a way to break at speed, on a hill, with no room to turn, relatively quickly, even if the ground sucks.


Stepping plow is the next best choice as it still captures items 1, kinda-3 (depends on how big your wheels are and how bad the ground is), 4, and 5.

When I'm not at speed (medium to slow), and there is a little room, I like the "spin" stop most (split legs one blade facing forward one facing back and carve out into a slight spin). It's elegant an fun. :) And again, because you have your feet spread relative to your direction you can still do it on relatively rough ground without getting pitched.


Again, I really think this is a great video, and I love how you show the way to train into the different breaking methods. For someone without breaks I would have them master the stepping plow till they can do it in their sleep. If your skates have no break that usually means you have huge wheels (100+) so most terrain will be pretty smooth and stable for you (even on one foot, which is required for this), especially if you're on 4 wheels (long base extra stability). If all you can do is a T break and you have any real speed you will not be able to come to a stop in a reasonable amount of time. If you are on a rough surface with any real speed a slide/power stop is likely to end up with you on the ground. Both will shred expensive wheels vs. a cheap break block.


Having said all that, my general advice is to roller blade like you would ride a motorcycle. Assume no one can see you; assume anyone will just go right in front of you at any time. If you are going too fast to stop in time, give yourself more room or slow down until it isn't a dice roll on if you could maneuver successfully.

PS, Pads and a helmet (you can pick up a pack of JBMs for cheap and they are pretty decent and in a variety of colors). Especially for someone learning; will let you focus more on what you're doing vs. being terrified of falling and scraping yourself up; even smooth concrete will shave your skin off at relatively low speeds. I haven't fallen in over a decade, but at some point I will and I'd rather be able to laugh it off. Plus when teaching my kids it just sets a good example so win/win for me.

Surprised you didn’t include the power slide, which seems to me to be the best of both worlds. Some of the stability of the first 5, but some of the style and quicker stopping power that the parallel slide. Some of us older guys don’t dig falling down if we don’t have to!

[crazyelfprincess]

Great video and thank you for not cutting that fall on the slide stop. As a beginner, it helps me to remember that even experienced skaters end up on the ground sometimes.

I am 35 now and just started skating again after 17 years of break. I bought a pair of Seba FRX. Love them. i was a bit wobbly and shakey. I couldnt do powerslide, that I could do back then. Just the face that I can still skate makes me so happy. I am gonna get the game up soon.

I am just 12 and I have a passion of skating, I am trying to learn it and I am is also struggling with the balance. Actually, for me balance is the key for skating. When I was just 9 I realized that I have a passion of skating so, when I was 10 I bought the luminous pink skates and I was very excited to try them but the first time I tried to skate I fall very and very badly. I didn't watch any video before trying them and I even don't know that what is the right position for skating 😂. But now I am sooo better then before, and I am still trying to improve it. I have fall many times because I lose my balance. But I am still trying to achieve this target.And these videos definitely help.THANK YOU, RICARDO!

I roller bladed when i was a Teenager, and the people at the "Rink" I went to said the only way to really stop was the break or the T Stop. I never got into it enough to feel everything out like you showed in the video, but the pear and stepping pear look so easy to master. I used to do the splits just for kicks when roller blading ugh.

Thank you for this basic and very well done video. I just ordered a new pair for the first time in 20+ years and am getting some learning in lol. Last time I skated I had a 56k Modem to 'Surf the Web.' By God I feel older than my 37 years lol.

[madarauchiha]

i highly appreciate that you are wearing a helmet. 👍 thats what made me choose to watch your video over the others ones that showed up.

[BillyPrice-vb]

Thank you Ricardo! Super! Loved this one! Definitely needed this!

[nikkiw]

I'm absolutely going to try that method of learning t-stops... that looks like a great way to learn it without any worry!!!

[thorah]

I love the personality you put in your demonstrations. Your videos are presented very Friendly, yet Very matter of fact and full of good content. I really enjoyed watching How to stop. Some other online videos spend too much time with “fluff” to hold my interest. I will continue to watch your videos! I’m 64 and re-learned to skate at this time of my life wheeling a dog buggy with 3 older dogs for stability and security. They love their skating excursions! We all have a great time! Im now skating (half the time) without the buggy as security, and building confidence. Thank you again for your interesting videos. Please continue to make more!!! Best to you, T

[raiyennoor]

Thank you so much.i am a new learning skating. This video very help me.

[davipenteado]

Thank you for the video, it helped me too much, even though i still don't have a rollerblade. I will have one only in my birthday, but i've seen this video to already know some ways to stop. I've already searched for many rollerblade breaking tutorial but, the most part wasn't too good as your video was. I will save the video to when i start skating, and hope it will help me too much. I think the best ways to stop for me would be the lemon-stop and the T-stop. Congratulations from Brazil!

[JuhaMR]

This is very helpful, I will definitely try them this weekend. Thank you Ricardo, cheers from Argentina

[SpaceRobOT-ffdg]

i like combining the t-stop with the normal brake, i also have my normal brake set up quite high so i can really lean back and brake fast

[pkscarr]

good tips. another method that people tend to forget is that you can bleed off excess speed simply by doing a series of tightish flicky turns in an S pattern, pushing the outside skate into the ground. essentially like the onion/plow method but without the problems of feet clattering into each other as each part of the S shape basically resets your stance before this happens whilst killing speed pretty effectively.

this is also a good way of controlling your speed when going downhill, like a skier switching from edge to edge of the ski's

[avici]

Hey thanks man. I just got my skates today and you helped me from using parked cars and pedestrians as a way to stop.

[manaostad]

This was really useful ✨ thanks, im not a begginer but it was a good vid to watch, i learned 1 other way to brake

[matth]

hey Ricardo, been watching your videos for the past month or so and you have inspired me to get back into Skating. Only problem now is to get over the feet cramping :)
