Do a T-Stop

A t-stop technique is an alternative to using the heel brake to stop on inline skates. Skaters that don't have heel brakes on their skates use the t-stop often. Skaters who have heel brakes also enjoy doing t-stops.

How to Do a T-Stop

1. Glide forward.
   
   Bend the knee of one leg.
   
2. Drag the other leg's skate behind.
   
   The dragging boot should almost touch the ground.
   
3. Keep the weight forward.
   
   Come to a complete stop.
   
   

Happy Skating!
