“Heel Stop”

Definition: The most effective way to stop on inline skates! ... Here's how it's done in a nutshell: Get into the scissor stance with your brake skate (the skate with the heel brake) in front. Tip the toe of your brake skate up while bending your knee and lowering your bottom, as if sitting. Send all your weight down through your heel brake. Burn rubber, baby!
