as retarded as this sounds, i still stop better on roller blades than ice skates :bloated: i played roller for years before i went to ice… i noticed when i first started playing ice that whenever my instinct was to stop when i was on roller blades, i would end up almost doing a 180 instead… so with that being said its definitely a different “motion” like stated above, which is hard to explain by typing lol _edit_ after watching those videos, thats definitely not how i stop hahaha feet the same direction etc like an ice hockey stop, but i guess you could say the leading foot is a bit further away than the trailing one as opposed to ice where they are right on top of eachother… again hard to explain on here! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/school-me-on-stopping/50666)._
