How to stop on Rollerblades/Inline Skates - 3 ways

In this video, I take you through my process of how I learned the 3 speed control methods that I deploy most often. AKA how to stop on rollerblades. The first two techniques are aimed at beginners, and the 3rd is intermediate to advanced. Feel free to message me on Instagram if you have any specific questions.

Here is what you need to know - I stutter and skate (I know the name came out of nowhere ;) and I'm excited to make videos that show different rollerblading/inline skating perspectives. I'll be sharing tutorials, product reviews, and just good ole skating with friends. If you like what you see, please consider subscribing, it would mean the world.

Even with a stutter, Ari is one of the most well-spoken youtubers in the nation. Rarely ever says "um" and has a great vocabulary. Dude is smart as hell.

You missed out the "grab a nearbye tree, sign or person" stop technique

What we beginners don't understand is the weight transitioning between the heels and the toes and vice versa. I haven't seen too many videos explaining this. Seems easy, but when you're on your skates and don't have the skills, you have to think and do, not only do. It takes a lot of time because you have to figure it out on your own and you have to practice a lot until you really get it.

Hello! will you please make us more tutorials of urban tricks and moves especially the smooth front to back transitions and advanced strides

I went to this channel for the roller skating, but I stayed for Ari because he seems to be a really nice genuine guy! <3

I’ve been trying to teach my 8 year old granddaughter how to skate for the past 11 months and she is just so scared ! She won’t bend her knees and I have to hold her hands and pull her along with me ! It’s been really frustrating because I have brought her elbow and knee pads , special padded gloves, helmet, padded pants to put over her jeans, you name and I’ve brought it for her and nothing works ! 😂😂😂 I even have her watch tutorial videos ! Totally useless ., but I recently discovered your videos and I have been showing them to her and she is beginning to finally show some effort ! So I want to say thank you for taking the time to make your videos ! If anything, they are helping my granddaughter gain some confidence ! ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😊😊😊

HalleluYAH! Thank you brother for this amazing lesson. I am still learning that as a beginner skater, stopping power is the single most important skill to learn. Really appreciate your skill in skating but more importantly, you taught this better than many others.

You are using the hockey perspective which I believe is good because it's physics is efficient and universal to all types of rollerblades.

That was awesome! Thank you! You explain really really well :) For me the whole stopping thing is basically why I never pursued inline skating because I was to scared to not being able to stop and then fall and hurt myself. But I think I will give it another try and practice how to stop properly. Thanks again :)

Sending you love and creative vibes <3

Thank you for sharing & for being such a great inspiration to others😊
Do you have a video about how you got into skating...? I got into skating as a kid in the early 1980s on quad skates at two local indoor skating rinks. My parents got me suede leather Nike skates and I was so stoked for skating. 4 days ago I got my first inline skates to use to learn to kitesurf by pulling myself on inline skates with a small power kite.

I was just there this afternoon practicing inline skating. Hope to meet you someday. Tnx for the video!

[turnpyke]

Great video Ari. You are an amazing skater

[dannyboi_exe]

Nice! Any tips for backwards skating? I can transition but have trouble picking up speed and carving backwards

[lorenzcassidy]

"You're gonna come into issues is you try to powerslide and the sliding leg is too far up.... that's when things *go a little south*".
And that's putting it mildly! 💥😅
