Bend Your Knees: Begin by bending your knees. This action helps lower your center of gravity, enhancing your balance when you need to stop. Adjust Your Feet: Shift your feet into the correct position. Move your dominant foot slightly forward and your non-dominant foot backward. Transfer more weight to your dominant/front foot, allowing your non-dominant/back foot to be free for movement. Form the T Shape: Lift your back foot slightly off the ground, balancing on your front foot. Turn your back foot 90 degrees, creating a T shape with your feet. Gently lower your back foot to make contact with the skating surface. Keep the majority of your weight on your front foot. Stay on Course: Maintain your hips' alignment with your front foot. Avoid letting your hips open up or swerve to the side, as this could lead to unintended changes in direction and potential collisions. Gradual Stop: Continue dragging your back foot to slow down and eventually stop. The more pressure you apply, the quicker you'll halt. However, avoid stomping down suddenly, as it could disrupt your balance. Master this braking technique to glide and stop confidently while roller skating. Remember, practice makes perfect, so take your time getting comfortable with these steps.
