How I Learned POWERSTOP & POWERSLIDE on Rollerblades

Facebook:   / how2inline   Powerslide First do a backwards transition. Then prepare your sliding leg. And finally put it down. Make sure you stay low and that all four wheels touch the ground simultanously. Keep most of your weight on the rolling, not the sliding, foot. Once you get better at it, you can try to do the transistion and the slide in one fluid motion. Still, this is not really a powerstop ... I think it's called a powerSLIDE or an inverse t-stop. Anyway ... before I learned the real powerstop I practiced slalom turns a lot. Put most - or even all - weight on the outer skate. Now depending on how you do it, the turns will either slow you down if you do it right ... or make you accelerate if you do it wrong. I've found that putting more weight on the heel causes the skate to lose grip, which indicates a slide is about to occur. This is what you want. As soon as the slide begins I fall back on the inner skate. And then I'm ready for the next turn. The powerstop is simply a more extreme slalom stop. Do it a lower speed and commit to it. Powerstops are great at jogging speed. If you're too slow it won't work and too fast you may be injured. Although I've never been injured myself, I have indeed fallen a few times. A couple times I leaned too much backward and I fell on my ass. This should be preventable by sliding with only one skate and falling back on the other, which is pendicular to the sliding skate. Once I had the sliding skate grip, and that's the most dangerous thing that can happen. I did several things wrong. 1. The speed was a bit high. 2. I did not commit. 3. Too much weight on the toes, so the front wheel was the one that gripped. I've read some comments about people getting injured while attempting powerstops. Please keep the dangers in mind. Warm up before you powerstop. Keep the speed reasonable. And stay focused. *** The difference between the powerSLIDE aka the reverse T-stop and the powerSTOP is that with the former you first turn and then slide, but with the powerstop you kinda slide and turn at the same time. *** I still need to improve my powerstops a lot. Here's a list of things I'm practicing on. 1. Sliding with my left leg instead of the right. 2. Stopping on a spot. 3. Powerslide at high speed. Maybe not to a full stop, just a quick slowdown before continuing. 4. Parallel stop. Sliding with both skates is a lot more difficult but of course a lot cooler. *** In the future, maybe next year when my technique has improved, I will make a tutorial. Until then, I hope this summary of how I learned the powerstop, will be of value.
