This guy is just brilliant, everything clear and easy to understand. I’ve learned a lot and improved my skating techniques so well, thanks.

My daughter said "I like his videos ". Thanks, you helped her learn to stop. Much appreciated.

lol that step stop is the golden highlight of this tutorial.

Lol he has a chocolate ice cream in this video

We added new video material (Heel brake stop example).

Awesome tips !

Awesome video I thought the t stop was hard but you explained so easy I’m going to try this out today

Thank you so much!

I love your tutorials but I hate the background music

thank you!

Good vid on stops, thanks. You're a good instructor, Sonic. = )

This never thought me how to stop this video thought me how to skate super fast!

This is very useful

Great channel. New sub!!!

wow ive never heard of the beginners t-stop :) i really need to try that because im still not good enough for an actual drag stop

Been making steady progress as a relative new skater. I started with Sonic's intro lessons like this one and just started paying attention to various YouTube skating tutorials from there. Below are my observations. I am not a certified instructor, so please correct me or take my observations with a grain of salt: Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but is the "big turn" a lunge turn? The t-stop does put wear on the wheels, yes; but the heel brake and t-stop are fairly effective turns for limited space, I think - especially the heel brake when you really put weight on that brake. It takes a little practice to get used to it. First you want to be able to scissor. Next, you have to remember to brake right away for a short-ish stopping distance. Then, you have to learn to apply more weight to slow yourself down more. Works like a charm when you get it right and have a usable brake. = ) I am having more trouble with the t-stop. For now, I am needing to work on putting more weight on my support leg and lighten my braking leg until I get used to the technique. The reason for this is because my not-super-hard inline fitness wheels (82A) will tend to grip a little too well. So, when I try to use the t-stop, the grip has stopped me a bit too abruptly so far. This is not good for balance and also runs the risk of me injuring my hip socket. But, in time, with better practice, I'm sure I'll get it. As for the grass: sometimes a lifesaver. I find that I don't necessarily have to roll in the grass - that I can pick up my skates and walk, but that may vary on your speed. Step stopping: I use a sideways variant of the step stop to go up and down steep gradients or stairs at a skate park. The variant I use is one in which my skates are about perpendicular to the direction of the incline. OR, I'll have my skates at a slight angle, so that the front wheels will but up against the stair step, and I'll push the skate into the stair step to help secure it a bit, kinda like a "Safe-T" stance, but at a much narrower angle. I find this to work OK for my needs. But obviously, please be careful. Our ability levels will vary. Wasn't sure how far I would make it skating. I am now working on some basic tricks at a skate park after just a few months of practice. Quite pleased. Happy skating! = D

SO FREAKING HELPFUL!

ahahaha, step stop is histerical!

Haha when I was a kid I used to inline skate with my friends, but I never learned the proper techniques. We just rolled around, played games, and if we ever wanted to stop we just let ourselves roll towards a fence, street light or sign post and hold on to it with our hands. Simpler times :) I can stop now, but I still catch myself grabbing a post instead of using my brake if I want to stop and there is a street lamp within reach :D
