How to brake with ice skates?

I cant manage to stop when I'm ice skating. The only thing I can do is slow down very slowly by not doing anything but I don't know how to make a sudden stop unless I slam myself again the wall. Any help?





I only ice skated 2 times in my life.

How to brake with ice skates?
Figure skates: Snow Plow, 2 foot slow plow. If you don't know how to do it, take ice skating lessons or google it becase it's pretty hard to explain on here.





Hockey skates:


1. Knees bent;


2. Turn your hips;


3. Push.





But like I said it's pretty hard to explain on here. You should get skating lessons or goggle it. I've seen a few hockey %26amp; figure skating stops videos on youtube:

Reply:glide on two feet, bend your knees (like as much as you can...if you know what the athletic position is, get into that) and point your toes inwards like a snow plow. you will stop, the better you get you can work towards doing it all in one motion and you will stop immediately.
Reply:You point your foot's toes in and press forward, it should make a sreech sound.
Reply:The easiest way to stop is a snowplow stop. If you have ever going skiing before, it's very similar. It's probably best to practice standing still a little. With your feet about a shoulder width apart, knees bent and arms out for balance, point your toes inward in an upside down V shape and push out with your feet. You may find it is easier with one foot than with both. Once you feel comfortable with that, try it moving.





There are other stops you can do, like hockey stops. For those, all you have to do is turn your hips quickly so your feet turn sideways and lean back a little.





Good luck!
Reply:Stop it with your back heel of ur skates
Reply:it takes practice to stop really well. i just learned the snowplow stop and cant stop yet cause my skates refuse to make snow. i usually do the "do nothing to stop" stop or turn around but here is the link to a professional figure skater teaching how to stop
Reply:Well stoping with ice skates is really easy


It took me a while to learn how but now i can make the ice fly like the hockey players do.


i stop mostly with my right skate


while you are skating you use your inner edge.


when you want to stop just move from your inner edge to the flat part of your skate and turn the skate. Then push with you leg and you should stop.





Dont worry you'll get it
Reply:skate more than 2 times you will learn like we all had to








you wont pick it up over night
