this whole time iv not known how to break so iv been going down hills super fast hoping i dont fall lmaoo
Same looollll
Lol I used to do that until I learned how to go backwards I just did a spin and I would stop kinda a mix of the power slide and skating backwards
do you get speed wobbles on these????????? I search rollerblade speed wobble and NOTHING comes up. what is this the un-wobbleable vehicle??? Mystery vehicle no speed wobbles!
Sameeeee. I went skating on sunday and almost died twice because I was going downhill and I just didnt know how to slow down
Yup. Me.
I literally just wiped out SOOOOO hard down a hill. Now I’m with all of you all trying to learn how to brake! 😂😂
Me too!! I about died today hahaha
I was practicing going down hill, when a car came by. I panicked and decided to wait until the car passed. By the time it did, I was B O O K I N I T down the hill. Fell on my hip.
Massive contusion and hematoma. I still have a lump...it's been months now. 🤟
lmao same, ended up spraining 2 fingers after falling on my ass so now I'm trying to learn how to safely go down
Yup same here xD
almost fell into the wash lol
yall I was at a public park and it was extremely downhill. that shit continued to be downhill for 5 minutes and my legs almost collapsed from shock 🤦🏽♀️🤣🤣🤣 I was so scared that I started laughing and i ended up just flying with alotta kids staring at me in fear
HAHAHAAHHAHAHA
This same exact situation happened to me like3weeks ago
oof
lmao i imagined your pfp with ur situation 😂
i also went at a park today and the road was downhill so i tried to stop it with my hand and i think it's injured 😃😃
can I carry an umbrella so that when am unable to brake I open it to reduce speed? infact it will save my wheels from tear😂😂
IQ scores this high are illegal
Mu ha ha
Loved it
MY personal favorite stop is going on a patch of grass
Edit: It really works try going fast and just going on grass.
Yes the grass stop is great for emergency situation WHEN you have grass. But you should also develop non-grass stops so you are safe in any situation. Check out the free trials of online courses on each of these 9 trainings. Pick your theme and level and click free trial.

I wished I would’ve watch this video before I attempted going downhill 2 days ago, my butt cheek would’ve been grateful... great video, I will try first before attempting going downhill again!!
I'll rub it for you😜...But yeah I hear ya..My way of stopping had always been a suicide roll or a wall lol..
Atif King LOL
@@shiromaniw3527 yup
Oh my god, I was practicing yesterday evening on that exact slope, then decided to find a tutorial on how to do it properly. How random that I would find this :D
Where is this slope? Looks like Bournemouth?
Watching after a hard fall 😫
Oh No. Please make use f my Free video classes on Inlineskatecourse.com (9 to choose from). If you are falling then you probably did some seriously wrong and its useful to know what to avoid.
Same here lol
Me too! I have deep road rash on my knee and a shallow one on my chin, and I also bit my lip on the inside with my bottom teeth so I haven't been able to eat much. So much for my birthday gift of skates lol
SAMEEE this happened to me today almost broke my leg
Good to hear I'm not the only one, I literally face planted the ground and came back home to watch this video 😰
This is actually so helpful I skated on a bridge and almost ended up on the road and I could've injured a lot of people including myself. Thank you for making this video
Thank you so much! I live in a hilly part of Seattle and I'm taking up rollerblading for the first time in about 25 years. I never had nice blades that fit right, so I'm achieving a childhood dream of having a better set of blades!
Best of luck! That's awesome. Good quality skates help for sure but what you do with them is your call. Take it easy coming back and respect those hills and master those stopping methods above all else!
Thank you!
Really well taught in a short amount of time without bearing around the bush
I used to skate when I was a kid. Never learned as such but I considered myself pretty good. I’m going to take up skating again. Will come back to your videos, when I do.
OOO did you do it? Are ya skating again?
I roller bladed down a mega hill and rolled right into the street and hit a giant rock and went flying. Tumbled and got covered road rash. I still have scars🤣 Need to learn how to stop 🤔
Clear picture I got right here xD I'm here because a building stopped my momemtum on a red light x)
@@Atypical_Typo I BUSTED OUT LAUGHINGG 🤣🤣🤣
@@calla8060 same as pedestrians when they saw me tank 😂 there was this old man who was like: Woah, buddy! You alright? As I was faceplanted on the grass in gront of the building wall 😂😂
Thank you for this video, I went skating about 10 minutes ago and almost died, because I don’t know how to stop, but fortunately I drop myself to the ground before face the wall. After watching this video, I could learn skills and won’t be afraid in the future anymore.
Be very careful on slopes and stay on the flat until you have 2-3 confident methods. If you need more specific in-depth help to get your stopping methods fluent check out my online course series on Stops here;

Not only does this video present new information many others have not, but it focuses much more *effectively* on the how, the mechanics of the technique.
👏👏Thank you!👏👏
Thank you. Asha, a good lesson. We are waiting for your lessons with impatience. 👏👍😀
Since I've moved to the suburbs of Paris, I've had to practice downhill stops a lot. I even made a few videos on it by myself.And for me the best ways is drag (t-stop) and slalom turns (curving). And also curving with the transition to powerslide. Never tried alternating plough, may be will check it in future.
Great thanks for the video)
Very helpful, unlocked the key to my understanding of stopping and sliding. The sliding worries me about the sliding wheel hitting something and abruptly stopping me and going over the skates. I'll practice carefully. Thanks
this was so helpfful!!! i was wondering how much does dragging ur skates on the floor wear out the wheels? how often should you replace skate wheels?
It worn out too quick specially doing power slide, so as much as i can im just doing the stepping plow stop, to stop at high speed, t stop and power slide are both harsh on wheels
hi i know this is wayyyy late, but with regular skating (4ish hours a week) skate wheels should be replaced every month or two
Great video. beginner here and most videos i watched has power slide down with rear skate. your video has the stop with the front skate. will try this out soon. thanks!!
Muito didático e compreensível, Asha, obrigado!
Brilliant! - thank you so much for doing this, Asha. Your camera work is excellent - I can't believe this is your first attempt with the GoPro, it certainly doesn't show! I've never tried the stepping plough stop on hills and rarely use my powerslide on them, so those are two I'll have to put into use much more. I also like your reply to another post where you mention needing to push beyond your comfort zone - it's something I need to do with hills (in control of course!) as well as backwards. Massive thanks again, and keep up that fantastic camera work. Next stop Hollywood?
First attempt? wow
Thanks! Just picked up some used 125 mm zetra blades. Can’t wait to learn all this stuff I never bothered to when younger.
There is something special and unique about seeing your feet and knees directly via the GoPro selfie while you’re explaining it. More please. Thank you!
I know!!! Thank you. I was happy to discover with this video that recording the audio separately afterwards gives much more clarity than talking and filming and better audio (outdoors is always a pain with audio especially brighton which is by the sea and always windy). The BEST angle for looking at anyone's skating is directly from the side (or then the front or back). From the side you see the all important knee bend (or lack of it perhaps) and therein lies all the info to fixing it. I will be doing more of these I promise. I just need to get over feeling like an idiot in public! I've never used or even done a selfie properly! I'm not a fan. But learning and growing means 'being' at the edge of your comfort zone (i teach this) so I have to embody it where Im learning and thats video! Thanks for the encouragement. Much needed.
it's not that special or unique, just how it's done today - see The Lino Life, Shop Task, PintoPonyProductions. Judging by the publishing date of the vid it might well be the result of one of my comments under an older video (or not).
Never used a selfie stick? HAH! Check out this excellent video of Asha and friends in Sao Paolo
ruclips.net/video/x9QB4jcjzco/видео.html
@1.30
OK, only for a few seconds and not looking very comfortable with it but a selfie nonetheless! Love this video and the Brighton one. Keep them coming : )
hahahah thats right that was the first time I ever held a selfie stick and I had no idea what I was filming (which is why i gave it back quickly). Well spotted!
Thank you so much!! This is a great tutorial.
Thank You. Just getting back to rollerblading here at Katy Trail Dallas. Some sloping areas
This helped a lot! Thanks ❤️
all your lesson are super useful...thanks!
Thanks for saving my life and you have a great voice!
This was so clear! Thank you!!
ive improved so much since i started watching your videos
I'm going to try the power slides, can't wait to master it :D
Thank u! I am going to try it.
Really helps! Thanks for the wonderful tutorial video
Very helpful! Thank you!
Great tutorial! Thank You! :)
Just had a brutal fall but i braced myself knowing i would flop. Got a small cut BUT the speed..im slightly traumatised lol
I don't like Т-stop because i sparing the wheels. T-stop eats wheels like a beast.
But if someone has a wheel factory, he can proceed T-stop 24/7. ))
T-stops should really be done on the outside edge, not just lazily hauling your foot around. That doesn't mitigate the wear that much but might make you feel better for balancing it out.
I have 2 sets of wheels. First set- good big wheels 90mm for fitness scating, which i don't want rip with slides or T-stops. Second set - cheap secondhand wheels 65mm-72mm for practicing slides, T-stops and other elements. When i wear 90mm set, i attaching default brake and using it for brakes and saving wheels.
Rotate your wheels, stock up on wheels, switch sides, lift up as you drag, stop being a babby about wheels etc.
If you're poor, don't come to Brighton!
so helpful, thank you!!!
muchas gracias!
This is such a good clear instructional video thank you. Wish I'd seen it before it before fall forward on my shoulder due to losing control
Ouch so sorry to her this. Yes I see many pole finding the right videos after they've had a fall or accident. Be very cautious with hills and slopes. They are very challenging and demand your skills be confident on the lat before you hit the slopes. Good luck and speedy recovery.
Thank you for making this video!

Nothing is more important than knowing how to stop!
Thanks for this!
That was very helpful, I was going downhill very fast for the first time yesterday, and only then did I realize that I don't know how to stop when going so fast. I had to drop myself onto the ground to avoid injuring some kids. I should've known better. Thankfully I just got an abrasion on my knee.
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. Good you realized how important it is to be able to stop. Please practice stops on a safe place and only once you master that go to slopes.
Awesome
Thanks x Glad you like.

YOU HELPED SOO MUCH
hello Asha love the tuts.. could you please make a detailed guide on the stepping plough its pretty effective for slowing down abit down hill and saves wheels xd
It was a bright day out and I decided I would take my skates outside after days of indoor practice....I found out the hard way that our sidewalk is at a slope.
Most outdoors surfaces have slopes on them. That's why skating outdoors is soooo much more challenging and demands good stopping skills and rough surface techniques etc. Not easy.
Gracias!!
Currently falling from 7 meters to the ground now it's 2
FRENADO POWERSLIDER!
Y FRENADO EN CUÑA, DE PATÍN CARRERA O PATINAJE DE VELOCIDAD!
Muy buen video ! :)
I’m a decent ice hockey skater but inlines are scary. The easiest stop for me is a tight turn where I pivot about the heel of one foot. I can stop very quickly with that method. I see you do a spread eagle in the middle of that power stop. No way can I do a spread eagle. Inlines are so tiring compared to ice skates, and the lack of control on stopping is worrying. Ice rinks are closed, so I’m going to be doing more inline skating. About five hours practice so far. Much more is needed. Thanks for the videos, very informative.
Yesterday I was going down hill,so fast at an extreme speed,I tensed when I couldn't do a stop.Now am all bruises,but guess ill learn gradually, want to start using my skates to work
Sorry you had a fall (I assume that's what happened after the tensing up?) I recommend starting at the bottom of a new hill and slowly working your way up the hill adding 2 metres with each descent. Force yourself to stop on the hill and also at the bottom when you have all the speed of the hill. You must train hills like a specific goal with specific training drills and process. Otherwise they will always be problematic. Good luck.
woow thanks alot swrry,..today as i go for my skating practice downslope i wont be afraid anymore,..
That's great news. Make sure you are very well practised on hills before you take them with any speed from the beginning, OK? Be safe!
Nice nice nice my teacher 👍
Amazing video, thank you so much for this!!
Glad you liked it!
Genial .. lo practicare
Yeah, I ran into a rail, fell backward, and hit the back of my head hard because I haven’t practiced stopping. Thanks for the video!! ;)
OUCH!
Just did this today
Wow I could do it now
Thanks very helpful
Glad to hear that!
You're amazing xx
Esperava a bastante tempo que fizesse um video como esse de freio em ladeira! Ficou otimo. Por favor, produza mais videos com diferentes tipos de freio em ladeira. Já sou seu fã, ficarei mais ainda!

thanks a lot , me and my 7 yrs old son will be safe by these techniques on tomorrow skating trip. Greeting from Thailand, the kid call you 'Khun Pa' which means 'aunt' ^^
That's vert sweet. I'm glad the videos are helping you both.
Can’t wait to try these! My method for stopping downhill so far has been a controlled crash into a utility pole…
Ouch, don't even joke about that/ That's the best way to break a wrist, elbow or worse! Good job you're online trying ti learn tips on downhill stopping. But really nothing beats actually nailing your best methods on the flat first and then developing the same expertise on different slopes.
My best work is inside my online courses where I've got 5 stops in a series and you can choose just the ones you want. There's 20% off till midnight tmrw for Easter.
Check them out!!!

thanks Asha. u rule.
Thanks so much ! Which is best method to not eat wheels, (other than awful heel brake). I would think slalom slowing.

I came here after falling super super hard on my tailbone. XD probably should have watched this before hand but at least I’m watching it now lol.
Fark! I should have watched this before I went downhill ;)
Well now you can train and be better prepared. Enjoy.
Your quadriceps are amazing 😅
Hi! I am from HK, recently I got pair of inline skates and have been enjoy watching your video. For gentle downhill your clip really helps me from falling. Any advice for really steep downhill? I fell hard when the wheels went really fast and I lost my balance yesterday....
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. You need to check the slope before taking it and be aware of your limits. This awareness will come with experience and continuous practice of different stopping methods in a progressive way. In all videos with slopes Asha mentions you have to practice techniques on a flat surface and take slopes very gradually. I'm an instructor with more than 20 years of street skating and I'm not ashamed to say I took off my skates and walked a couple times when slopes were too steep.
I was at a public park and I was in downhill for 30 seconds. I haven't learned to stop at high speed yet but luckily I just collided with a fence that holds the tennis court. A bunch of tennis players was looking at me weirdly as I skated away in embarrassment.
Next time you might not get away so luckily. Please focus on learning and perfecting your stopping methods so they work on down hill slopes. It's worth it!
I am liking all your videos from India beginnier
Very nice video of u, brief and lovely. Cheers
Would be nice if you can demonstrate this technique on Quad skates. thanks
thankyouu
Hi Asha ,first I wanted to thank you for all the videos you post. Yesterday we went to a mountain and one of our roller friends got 70 km/h downhill is there any brake possible for that situation cause he just let himself downhill wondering why he wasn't wearing a helmet and keeping scissor position cause any change at that speed could end really bad.?
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. No brakes work at 70 km/h. Skaters who do downhill skating wear helmets, and not regular helmets, instead helmets similar to the ones motorbikers have.
Going downhill depending on the elevation, if high then Combination of drag/t stop with slalom turns to carve if space otherwise drag stop harder, kill speed using small circles obviously keeping surrounding vehicles in check using peripheral vision.
Or learn magic slide all together..
Yes the Soul and Magic slides are great for downhill descents. I can't do either due to a hip injury I have (nothing involving internal rotation is possible for me), but yes another good option.
No I won't be grated like 🧀 in my neighborhood. Thank you
meat crayon
@@FroggyRibbits thank you for this phrase
Your explanations are wonderful! Much better than the bulk of other vids out there. 🤙
Glad you like them! I'm a qualified and very experienced coach with 21yrs full time work behind me. I've seen most problems and issues multiple times so I hope to teach in ways that help the most people.
Hey! New to skating! Will the type of wheels have an impact on the T-Stop? I’ve purchased the Roces vidi skates
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. Not at all. The T-stop is possible with any type of wheels. The bigger the wheel the more difficult it is to control speed and stop. Very hard wheels feel slippery when they are brand new, until the coating is worn a little. However, I don't think the problem are the wheels. Instead I must say the T-stop is not as easy as people think for beginners, it's actually an intermediate level stop. It involves several factors. Check this video ruclips.net/video/We-1RnLY49Y/видео.html If you are an absolute beginner I suggest you use the heel brake until you get the factors required for T-stop. Another good stop for beginners is the Stepping Plough. Asha has also an online course for beginner's stops here skatefresh.com/product/how-to-stop-beginner-level/ By the way, you are commenting on a video about slopes, and slopes are not good for beginners. So if you are a starter trying the T-stop downhill that's not good at all.
hey there asha, i love your videos! does the stepping plow also work on quads? i'm planning to get into inline skating soon, but i've been skating on quads for a few months now and i've never seen the stepping plow mentioned in quad tutorials. i know some things translate between the different skate types and some don't, and i know you skate both so i'm curious about it.
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. Stepping plough works in quads very well. In inlines is important the inclination on inside edges, apart from other factors; in quads since you don't have those edges, instead it will be more about the inverted V position and the most important factor will be the stepping out laterally and its cadence. This is a video about slopes... Think twice if you are planning to go downhill on quads using stepping plow. You should practice a thousand times on flat surface first, and still it will be dangerous downhill. Slopes are way much harder on quads and you can be more easily tripped up by debris.
ah okay thank you! i will probably stick to going downhill backwards on quads then.
Hello Aisha, thank you so much for your videos!! Such informative, clear, easy to understand and helpful resources :) Just wondering where this beautiful place is. Sportive greetings
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. It's in Brighton, UK. She said it at the beginning.
@@SkatefreshVideos Thanks, Sergio!
i have been rollerblading for 5 years and i recently started using them outside of skating places , i have never learned how to use the breaks lol
Thank you for this video! Unfortunately, when I try these, I just go faster and lose control in a sideways motion. Any advice?
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. If you are losing control that means the slope is too steep for you. These skills first have to be mastered and feel perfect on a total flat surface no inclination at all, then you progress to gentle slopes gaining confidence.
Excellent advice from Sergio.
Do you have a patreon? Or a way to donate to the skate fresh school?
Thanks for asking. Not yet but I'm thinking of starting one. I showcase my work here on RUclips but my aim is to provide much higher quality video training courses which I guarantee are fool proof methods of learning most skills. The new online course website Ive been making for the last 6 months is almost ready and there will be free trials there for everyone to test.
Just ate it at the park on the smallest little “hill”, immediately drove home and now here we are lol
Ouch, I hope you are ok? How is your downhill stopping going now, a month later? Or have you decided just to avoid all hills (which basically means almost everywhere)..... It's tricky out there.
Just what I needed after I got my legs amputated.
JK. Great tutorials on ways to stop going downhill. I think this is the best and offer the most effective various methyl stop.
Thank you Asha. ❤
Happy to help! Slopes are really every skater's most important terrain to master and that means well practiced stopping methods on the flat first! And starting to practice on gentle slopes on purpose rather than just hitting big hills and hoping it works. Good luck and stay safe out there. If you need any proper in-depth tutorial on stopping methods, check out the online course series on Stops here;
skatefresh.com/stops-slides/
yup, also here cuz i got a big welt on my hip after wiping out going down hill
Ouch, take it easy on slopes and practice on hills starting from the bottom and working your way up.
Excellent video once again, but I'm assuming the toes in side stepping technique would only work before you pickup speed, if you are already half way down the slope reaching a reasonable speed, that technique could potentially cause u to tip over 🤔, do correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. The stepping plough works great in slopes and speed as long as it's done perfectly, in fact speed skaters use it. However, it's tricky for most people because it needs a slow cadence, an exaggerated stepping out lateral motion and a correct angle for the feet. Three factors in harmony. If one of them is not under control it's easy to panic when you realize you go faster and faster. So it's a stop to practice a thousand times on flat first, and once you feel it works great at speed then you progress onto gentle slopes, and always start the slope practice at the bottom of it.
If I had watched this 5 hours earlier, maybe I would've avoided the road rash I'm currently sporting lmao
Ouch so sorry that happened. Check out the free stopping methods from the "How to Stop" online course (choose your level and click free trial). Nothing is more important than knowing how to stop well and control and stop on slopes.

@@SkatefreshVideos thanks for the link! I'll definitely grab those free tutorials. PS I love your videos, you're my favorite skating youtuber and it's directly because of you that I got into skating!
Hi Ash! I’m getting new skates next week! As a beginner, which do you recommend?
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. Recreational/Fitness type or freeskate type would be fine to start. 3 things to have in count: it should be comfortable and fit, it should have a good ankle support, and it should have a heel brake. There are many skates that comes without brakes but they are for skaters who already know to stop. Stopping is not really easy when you are a beginner, so the heel brake helps you while you are learning the first steps. Asha does not recommend a particular model because it all depends on your foot shape, however many of her students say Powerslide Next is very comfy and seems to fit everyone.
@@SkatefreshVideos thank you!
Yes yes .. planning to break my legs after long time again ... These videos should help me out
Wait for edits guys !! Lets see the result 😂😂😂
You got this!
i did some roller blading today and i keep failing the tea stop
I need help finding the perfect inline skates! I need 4 wheels, black boot, red laces, red wheels (light-up or not), and no brake. I need size 5 for kids age 12. I can't find any good skates that match that, but I'm hoping there are customizable ones so that I can create my own skates that look like them. Please suggest websites that I can buy from!
Hi. This is Sergio from Team Skatefresh. Take a look at inlinewarehouse.com, locoskates.com or grindhouse.eu
I've been skating for so long and the only thing I can do is the toe in stop. I can't do it perfectly everytime tho. Definitely gonna try these all out. I'm still scared going down light slopes
Slopes are scary when you know you can't stop on them! So train everything on the flat first and avoid slopes! Every skater (in my opinion) should have 3-4 functioning stops that they can use in various combinations. THEN you are safe and your body will relax more and you can enjoy more terrains.
Have you tried my free stopping lessons as part of my online courses? I have a full course series called "How to Stop" and each level has 3-4 different stops, so 12 in the full series. There is 1 free in each level. Check out the options here and click free trial on any of those courses.

Is the brake on the back not viable?
I used to be a figure skating coach in high school and i still cant stop on rollers! So hard
Wheels are way harder than ice when it comes to stopping and then there's slopes, hills and rough surfaces added in. But that does keep it all exciting.
