The Steps of doing Plow Stop on Roller Skates

As you continue to move forward, be sure to get in position:

Wider than your hips, but do not go too wide than your hips. You can lose balance.

Not pointing out / duck feet.

The more you bend, the more power it is to stop.

You should be focusing on your heels pushing outwards.

As you get more comfortable, your feet may turn in at the end of the stop. This is normal.

Sit into the knee bend!
