Plow Stop: The Easiest Way to Stop on Skates! How to master the plow stop, why it’s so beginner-friendly, and how it compares to stopping in other sports like ice skating and skiing. If you’ve ever been curious about how stopping techniques carry over between different activities, this is for you! Plus the classic South Park skiing episode—“If you French fry when you’re supposed to pizza, you’re gonna have a bad time!” It’s a perfect reminder of how important control and technique are, no matter what you’re learning. The plow stop works by using a wide stance, pushing your heels outward while keeping your toes angled in, creating controlled friction to bring you to a stop. It’s similar to the snowplow stop in skiing and stopping techniques figure skaters use, so if you’ve done either, this will feel familiar! Whether you’re just starting out on rollerblades, roller skates, or ice skates, learning the plow stop can give you confidence and help you avoid those tricky falls when you need to stop quickly. If you’re ready to feel more in control and keep skating safely, this video is for you.
