Roller skating beginner - stop method

After you have mastered a certain gliding method and obtained a certain gliding speed, you should start learning to stop the gliding. There are a variety of stopping methods. Here, only the "eight" stop method, the "T" stop method, the two-foot emergency stop method, and the backward slide stop method are introduced.

(1) The "eight" stop method

After obtaining a certain forward taxi speed, the two feet stand apart in parallel, and then the toes turn inward. The two feet press the ground gently with the inner wheels. The legs are bent. The upper body is slightly forward and the hips are squatting. The two arms maintain the forward extension. When the body is in balance, it will gradually decelerate until it stops.

Practice method

1. When you slide forward, stand with your feet parallel and separate. Turn the toes of your right foot forwards, press the ground gently with the inside wheel, and move the body center of gravity slightly to the left. Complete the movement in the above position.

2. Based on the above actions, follow the “eight” stop method to practice. Speed ​​can be slow to fast and gradual.

(2) "T"-shaped stop method

After starting to slide forward with one foot, the floating foot is placed in a “T” shape at the heel of the gliding foot. After the foot is slowly placed on the ground, the inner wheel gently presses the ground, slowing the forward gliding speed until it stops. Come down.

Practice method

1. Place the left foot in front and the right foot in a "T" shape at the back, with the right foot on the inside rim, the left foot sliding forward, and then the right foot on the left heel to do a "T" stop motion. You can start slowly to experience the action.

2. On the basis of the completion of the above-mentioned actions, speed up the forward gliding speed and practice in accordance with the "T" shaped stop motion.

(3) Emergency stop on both feet

When sliding forward, both feet turn clockwise (or anticlockwise) at the same time. The left foot presses the ground with the outer wheel and the taxiing direction at an angle of 90 degrees with the taxiing direction. At the same time, the body makes a sharp turn to the right. Move the center of gravity to your right leg, bend your knees, stretch your arms forward, and stop the body.

Practice method

1. Standing on two feet in parallel and standing in place, practice according to the above actions, and then complete the action in a low-speed forward slide.

2. Maintain a certain forward taxiing speed. Slide both feet forward and parallel, and do double-stop emergency stop. After mastery, you can use your feet to stop.

(4) Slide back to stop

For the method of stopping backwards, the front of the pattern skates is equipped with brakes. Therefore, in the process of sliding backwards, just lift the heels of both feet and use the brakes on both feet to rub the ground and stop immediately. When stopped, the body leans forward slightly, keeping the balance on both arms.

Practice method

1. With the handrail or under the support of a companion, lift the heel in place and tilt forward slightly to stand with the brakes.

2. In backward slow-speed taxiing, both feet stand in parallel to slide and then lift the heel to stop the brakes against the ground.
