Скачать или смотреть T-STOP TUTORIAL ON ROLLERBLADES

The T-stop is when one skate glides forward while the other drags behind at a perpendicular angle, forming a “T” shape.

⸻

✅ Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Start Gliding
• Get a comfortable forward glide going on both feet.
• Your knees should be slightly bent and your core engaged for balance.

2. Shift Your Weight
• Put most of your weight on your lead foot (the one that will stay straight and forward).
• This foot will remain rolling in a straight line.

3. Position the Drag Foot
• Take your rear foot and slowly turn it out so it’s perpendicular (90°) to the front foot.
• Lightly drag it behind with only the outer two wheels (heel edge) touching the ground.
• Your wheels should slide and create friction to slow you down—not grip.

4. Apply Pressure Gradually
• Press your drag foot down slightly more to increase the braking force.
• Don’t slam it down—this can make you lose balance.
• You may hear a scraping sound—that’s normal!

5. Stay Balanced
• Keep your upper body facing forward.
• Your arms can be extended slightly for balance.
• Practice switching lead feet over time (left lead / right lead).

⸻

🚫 Common Mistakes to Avoid:
• Too much pressure too quickly = loss of control.
• Dragging flat-footed = tripping or getting stuck.
• Both feet turning out = no real stop, just a wide glide.
• Stiff posture = makes it harder to adjust balance.

⸻

🔁 Practice Tips:
• Start on a smooth, flat surface.
• Try practicing it while going down a slight hill for more glide time.
• Work on drag pressure control so you can use it as a smooth slowdown or an emergency stop.
