This is probably the most important lesson you will ever learn as the Heel Brake Stop is the most effective stopping method available for inline skaters (of any level) and is what keeps you safe on your wheels and in control at all times. When you master the heel brake stop you will then feel increasingly comfortable and secure on your skates.
The first and easiest turn for Beginner skaters, reminiscent of the skiing ‘snow plough turn’. It is very stable for beginners who still don’t have a perfect Scissor position in both directions (which you will need for the Parallel Turn in Advanced Beginners).
