Learn to Powerslide

Powersliding is considered an advanced inline skating stopping technique. It looks cool and is fun to do!

How to Powerslide:

1. Skate forward, but prepare to make a tight turn and curve on your skates.
   
   
2. From a staggered stance position, make a quick ninety degree turn.
   
   
3. Stretch the skate that didn't do the tight curve back and almost touch that skate's boot to the ground.
   
   
4. Turn the skate that did the tight curve completely around and bend that knee far forward.
