🔹 What is a T-Stop?

A T-Stop is a method of stopping where one foot remains gliding forward while the other is dragged behind in a perpendicular (T-shaped) position to create friction.

✅ Step-by-Step Guide

1. Start Gliding on One Foot
• Begin by skating forward at a comfortable speed.
• Shift your weight to your stronger leg (usually your dominant leg).
• Slightly bend the knee of that gliding leg.

2. Lift and Position the Other Leg
• Take the non-gliding leg off the ice slightly.
• Rotate the lifted foot so the blade is perpendicular to your gliding foot—this forms the “T” shape.

3. Lower the Dragging Foot Behind
• Gently place the inside edge of your dragging skate behind and slightly off to the side of your gliding foot.
• Let just the inside edge and heel make contact with the ice.
• Keep most of your weight on the front gliding leg—don’t lean on the dragging leg too hard.

4. Apply Gradual Pressure
• Slowly increase pressure on the dragging foot.
• The friction will slow you down.
• Control is key: Don’t press too hard or you may lose balance.

5. Finish and Reset
• Once you’ve stopped, bring your feet back together.
• Stand tall and reset your balance.

💡 Pro Tips
• Practice the T shape off-ice to get the muscle memory.
• Keep your core tight and arms out for balance.
• Use protective gear when learning (especially knee pads).
• Expect some scraping noise—it’s normal.
• Master the one-foot glide first before adding the drag foot.
