Skate in a Staggered Stance

When two feet are on the ground while inline skating, the right skate should be out in front and the left skate should stay behind. This is called a staggered stance. The staggered stance keeps the skater stable and balanced. Also, the skate with the heel brake is in the position it should be in if the skater needs to stop or slow down.
