I went on my first outdoor skate yesterday (second time skating) with my friend who is an experienced skater. I learned pretty quickly my plow stops weren’t efficient enough to stop. We hit a small hill and as I gained momentum all I could hear her yell was “get low get low” and I’m just like “bye. Jesus take the wheel.” All went well and I managed to keep my balance until I slowed down. Thanks for taking the time to make this video! I’m going out again today to practice on level ground. Those endorphins are real! Skating is addicting!
Former figure skater here- it really helps to learn a skate by its INSIDE edge and OUTSIDE edge ( inside is between the legs, outside is out ) Getting comfy with edge control will really help with the T stop because during that stop you want to aim to use and put more pressure on your outside edge to create an angle like this " \ " when stopping not this " / " This kind of angle will help stop you from travelling on a T stop and hopefully prevent from jumping forward from it :)
I've been learning mainly from artistic skaters, and they do stops a bit different, I guess because they've got more space on the floor and have more ankle support and they don't do body contact. But they're totally fine with doing a toestop drag or dragging the two inside wheels 🤷♂️ A derby skater taught me to level up my T-stops by doing a sweeping motion with my back foot, starting that foot slightly further behind my body and pulling it in as it drags. More stable, and more braking effect! All of my stops have gotten a lot more stable and reliable since I swapped to smaller harder wheels in the rink... the big wide grippy speed wheels that were stock on my skates just do not go sideways at all, they tended to bite and bounce instead of elegantly gliding to a stop, so if people are struggling with these then it might be that their wheels and the surface they're on might be making it more difficult. Maybe that could be a future video, testing a couple of different types of wheels and how they affect stops and transitions and agility and stuff?
I wear outdoor wheels at my rink. That "bounce" is actually often because - oddly enough - you're either not pressing hard enough OR because you're pressing too hard. There is a very fine line between the two when using outdoor wheels on indoor surfaces. I actually use a modified T-Stop that helps control it a little better as well. Instead of all 4 wheels, I just use my front two. Still get that bounce on occasion, but I can actually tell "why" now and know if I need to press down harder or ease up a bit.
Can you a toe stop video? I want to street skate. And im a beginner so lately ive just been in tennis courts or in my house cause im scared that in an emergency (like a car not paying attention making a right turn or something) i wont be able to stop fast enough cause when i use my toe stop im still moving forward for a little and the toe stop im using is kinda bouncing if that makes sense so i feel like im not doing it right
Really work on the turn around toe stop! That is what I use the most when street skating- it helps me stop the fastest and is the most consistent in my opinion.
I’m SO glad you went over the issue about continuing to roll for plow stops. That held me back for 3 months. Really good video, I’m hoping to get those smooth turnaround toe stops one day!
Hey! Could you make a video on jumping in roller skates? I'm getting the hang of it but i can't jump very high at all without getting too nervous about flying backwards. Thanks!
make sure that you start off crouched! so before you even jump, get down low then hop up and immediately land into the crouched position and absorb the impact! also remember that when you jump you pull your knees up to your chest! hope this helps
Finally! I have been trying to figure out how to plow stop without continuing to roll. This is the first video that explained exactly what I was doing wrong. My feet are completely pointed forward, I'm going to try the plow stop again until I get it.
Thanks for the tutorial! I just got my Impala skates today and haven’t skated in over 15 years. I know how to skate but forgot how to stop. The plow move came back to me and I was able to do a few laps around my neighborhood!
Girl, this is by far the BEST instruction video on learning how to stop on roller skates. Of course-bubbles 🤦🏾♀️ lol! I never thought I would do learn how to do a plow stop. Thank you!! 🙏🏾
Bowie is such a funny little guy omg. Also, I love your videos! I'm on day two of skating (inspired by you and Shove) and these tutorials are SO helpful! I don't know anyone nearby to teach me so thanks for being my virtual teacher!
Thank you for being such a great teacher! I ordered my first pair of skates, so I'm learning as much as I can before they arrive. This is easy to follow and incredibly helpful!
You look like Pink. You're very pretty. Thank you for your videos, they have been really helpful to learn, and to fix my skates. Love your dog, he's so patient and loyal to you. Warm regards!
I’d love to see you do a video on crossovers with Shove! I’ve never been able to figure them out and I think it has to do with having bigger thighs, it just feels more difficult than it should be so it’d be great to see you two break them down step by step with that in mind! Thank you 🖤
I'm so grateful for your videos! I've been skating for under a month and your videos have helped me progress faster than I could have imagined!! I also want to say that your stop at the end is so incredibly graceful and flawless that I had to rewind to witness your badassery fully a few times
All these stopping videos are really informative but I'd like to see you do these stops going fast! That would be more helpful. I can do these when I'm hardly moving but once I get some speed going it's very hard to stop... Thanks!
hi ! I'm fairly new to roller skating but so far your videos have been really helpful (alongside others) and thank you for that ! I just think that roller skating is so cool
Thanks for stopping info!! I needed your clear slow step by step tutorial!! I'm 52 and just got my first pair of skates. Stopping has been really challenging!! Yikes!!
Wish I had learned how to stop better. Totally shattered my wrist 2 weeks ago at the rink cause some girl crossed my path 😣 gonna be like 6 months before I can skate again and i just got new skates!
That sucks but...at the same time...shattered? I assume it's in a cast. You don't skate on your hands. Get back out there! Well, unless you've got a soft cast and/or sling...then it might be a bit more difficult, of course.
Yea I had to get surgery. I have a plate and screws in it. I fell wrong and it was backwards onto one wrist. I do get a cast put on this week but I can't even tor my shoes or hold anything. It will be a while but I plan on it! F small rinks tho lol
@@chrisf4274 Well, when you do get back, if someone else tries to cross your path, just run 'em over. :) Better to land on a soft, squishy, body than the hard floor. Maybe the kids will learn. LOL Seriously though, we've got a couple like that at my rink, too...going every which way but straight. A few of them are regulars and even being young, they know what they're doing. They have the balance and the skill to avoid people, even when they are goofing around. The ones that scare me, however, are the newbies. GRRR Never been on skates before, but can't seem to go in the proper direction. That, or the kids/teens who think they're better than they really are. UGH! "Look, I have wheels, I go fast!" Yet don't even know how to stop. In either case, they don't know what they're doing and end up causing accidents...no matter how many times guards tell them they can't do something. The "fun" ones are the adults who do that crap. :( I've seen many get kicked out because they ignore the guards...repeatedly...then they "complain" on the rink's Facebook page about how "badly" they were treated. OY!

Love your channel name ❤️🏳️🌈 This has been such a helpful tutorial. I’ve struggled to grasp stopping gracefully for SO LONG and I finally think it clicked. Thank you!!
i just got my skates today and I feel like i need to learn how to t stop and transition toe stop because there's so many hills where I live and I feel like the plough stop will not work for me. I'm def going to practice t stops tomorrow!
Minute 7:00.. so happy u mentioned this!! I literally try to nail the basics.. like 'stop'😅 but been really struggling. Im going to try these tomorrow.
So I got my skates today, and I got excited and fell flat on my ass, I really wish I had watched your videos first, I've watched 4 so far and they're SUPER helpful! Can wait to watch more 😌 also after watching this i just wanna get outside and practice again but its 22.32pm here in England and freezing cold 😂
I think I've watched every "learn how to stop on roller skates" video on youtube and this one has been the most helpful by far so thank you!
YES YES YES OMG so much yes @queer girl skates are u listening????? massive thanks!
Me too
She explained the T-Stop so well. My friend was trying to show me it in-real life and i still didn't get it but this video nailed it.
Her entire channels is helpful recommend more of her videos
Yup if I still want to know Ik it’s been a year her and dirty school of skate have helped me
2:45 your dog was cracking me up by how they were sitting
SAME
The dog might be the best part😂
All frenchies do that lol 😂
You’re dog is just vibing throughout the whole video

😂😂 "Jesus take the wheel" omg

Laughed reading your comment the entire time. Glad everything worked out. 😆
Bye Jesus take the wheel HAHAHAHA I DIED 🤣
Stoppp because hills are the death of mee 😂😂 literally the smallest decline and im on my knees 😭

Perfect explanation! Thaank youu!
Outside angle from which foot? The traveling foot or the stopping feet?
@@dragonfly1563 the stopping foot. Travelling foot remains planted so you don't fall :-)
Awesome thanks!
Once I saw a young mom pushing her baby in a pram with roller skates on, with coffee in her hand.
It was epic
I love your dog’s vibe during all of this. 😂 Thanks for sharing your skate wisdom with us.
2:25 the doggo just sitting there staring at the sky is such a mood

Yeah!! Definitely!
@@QueerGirlStraightSkates thank you!!
make sure that you start off crouched! so before you even jump, get down low then hop up and immediately land into the crouched position and absorb the impact! also remember that when you jump you pull your knees up to your chest! hope this helps
What other skills would you like to learn?
Dancing! Spinning! How to skate on one foot 🤔
Skating on one foot please. I'm trying to learn to t-stop on inline skates but the gliding on one leg has me on the struggle bus.
how to get comfortable doing 180 at full speed! :)
Queer Girl Straight Skates how to get in and out of a bowl
Love a video on building confidence 😱😬🙏
Not only is this AMAZING, your puppy is utterly adorable! His face is like a little happy surprise in the corner of the video.
I'm so excited for the transition video cuz I'm honestly having trouble with that *sigh
Soon!
I've been skating for 44 years...STILL can't do a transition. I just use a jump turn. Easier and not as scary..well, for me, anyway.
I love your energy! Please don't stop. Your videos are so helpful
girl I could not focus for a moment, your dog is too precious. love your vids. blessed to see the pup.
right? Bowie is a show stopper.
Bowie in the video is a Big Mood ♥️ thanks for the video Rebel! And Shove for the camera 😁
SherbetStardust Bowie is most definitely a consistent mood lol ♥️
Bowie had me laughing 😂🤣 I can't
Your energy is so bubbly and warm. And you're a great lil teacher! I've learned so much from your videos. 🥰
OKAY BUT THE FACT THAT THIS IS WHAT FINALLY GOT ME TO T STOP !! THANK YOU SO MUCH REBEL 😭😭😭💕💕💕💕💕
The dog just sitting there lol. Had me laughing. So cute
Am I the only one who enjoyed the baby just vibin ?😂❤️

Okay that baby dog just sitting there waiting for his momma is the most precious thing😍😍😍
My 4 year old finally learned how to stop after this video and used the ploughing stop. So we’ll explained and loved the slo-mos.
I swear Bowie has never had a thought in his life and I love him for it 💜
That doggo is the happiest just sitting and enjoying life haha
very helpful video. i've been just grabbing lampposts and hoping for the best in my new skates! 😂😅
I have done my fair share of just grabbing onto lightposts and stop signs ♥️
I’m so ready to master every single stop! I got the toe stop drag down now it’s time for all of them to be mastered.
Bowie is such a funny little guy omg. Also, I love your videos! I'm on day two of skating (inspired by you and Shove) and these tutorials are SO helpful! I don't know anyone nearby to teach me so thanks for being my virtual teacher!
Oh god, that cute dog falling asleep in your arms killed me 😭🐶❤
Thank you for being such a great teacher! I ordered my first pair of skates, so I'm learning as much as I can before they arrive. This is easy to follow and incredibly helpful!
But did You read my mind? 😂 because I can barely stop even though I know how to?
I try my best :)
You look like Pink. You're very pretty. Thank you for your videos, they have been really helpful to learn, and to fix my skates.
Love your dog, he's so patient and loyal to you.
Warm regards!
I got my daughters skates and we are watching your videos. Thank you!
I've only been skating for a few days and your videos have really helped me!!
I tried to stop today... fell on my ass for the first time in skate 😂. Must keep at it!
I’d love to see you do a video on crossovers with Shove! I’ve never been able to figure them out and I think it has to do with having bigger thighs, it just feels more difficult than it should be so it’d be great to see you two break them down step by step with that in mind! Thank you 🖤
Yes please 🖤 These thighs are strong but shew 😂
The thumbnail for this video had me rolling! 😆 You are giving ‘concerned talk show host ‘ vibes and the title “how to stop” is perfect! 💕😂
Thank you so much! I watch your videos because I just got roller skates yesterday, thanks to you, I could use them now!
I'm so grateful for your videos! I've been skating for under a month and your videos have helped me progress faster than I could have imagined!! I also want to say that your stop at the end is so incredibly graceful and flawless that I had to rewind to witness your badassery fully a few times

First video where I finally learned how to stop :) thank youuu
Love your channel name ❤️🏳️🌈
This has been such a helpful tutorial. I’ve struggled to grasp stopping gracefully for SO LONG and I finally think it clicked. Thank you!!
Transitions please! I honestly can’t go from frontward to backward without stopping;; I love how transitions look so smooth in peoples’ videos
THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS ! YOUR CUTE LITTLE DOGGIE IS SO CUTEEEE JUST CHILLING THERE PEACEFULLY.
Thank you. I appreciate your help.- from a 70 year old beginner.
Your videos are so so helpful for me as a baby skater!

The front of your skates looking like udders cracked me up. This video was so helpful thank you!!!
Your doggie is just totally adorable!
