How to stop skating
1. Internal Eight Stop Technique (also known as Plow Stop Technique): When stopping, lean your upper body slightly forward, bend your legs slightly, bring your knees together, and press the ice with the inner blades of two knives. At this time, your upper body sits back and your center of gravity drops. The two knives gradually separated as they slid forward, placing the force on the rear half of the skate. The harder you push, the faster you stop. This method is mostly used when stopping during mid-to-high speed rolling.
2. Knife tip stop technique: The technique of the knife tip stop method is to support one leg and pull the other leg back. The tip of the skate blade of the pull back leg is perpendicular to the ice surface, so that the blade tip makes a sliding action on the ice surface, and then slowly The ground stopped. This method has little practical value in high-speed sliding.
3. Heel stop method: one leg is supported and slid in, the other leg is straightened in front of the supporting leg. The skate blade is perpendicular to the straightened calf. Use the blade of the blade heel to press the ice surface. At the same time, the supporting leg is slightly bent and the center of gravity is lowered. , to stop. This stopping method is suitable for low-speed taxiing. It is rarely used when taxiing at high speed, and accidents may sometimes occur.
4. Internal and external blade stopping technique: Put your legs together, turn the two knives parallel to the left (right) 90 degrees, sit back at the same time, lean your upper body forward, and lean your body to the left (right), use the inner blade of the right knife, the outer blade of the left knife, or Gradually press the outer blade of the left knife and the inner blade of the right knife to cut the ice surface and stop. This stopping method can be used during high-speed rolling.
