Hockey Parallel Stop

[MrNjdevilsfan30]

wow the coaches are even benders

[troswe]

To the coaches! Use helmet always, it's pathetic of you not to use a helmet!

[HELPMEIDUNNOHOWTOUSE]

try standing at the side of the rink and push your foot out to get used to the sensation that start moving into a check stop

[ItsJad]

Practice. Get low, twist you hips, and sharpen your skates!

[Nekosothepaladin]

[UrMomzDED]

Ugh..

Coaches can't stop gd and those blue skates are rented skates and am 100% sure.

[buignerry]

I think your observation is correct.

[rexteroa4]

@hishamudai3 llolllll true dat

[DALLLE1]

tht is bad not even the coaches could stop properly

[yourm0mlikesme]

hahah true...I like how he was blaming the skates

[Noss2nv]

Make sure your ass is low. trust me i`ll try and make a video on how to do it.. but bend your knees and ass low it helps alot..

and if you fall just get back up!

[NRC993]

[dread53321]

i can never get that stop man... wats the main thing to be able to do this stop ???

[SJSharks29]

use both edges i guess i can only do 1 foot stop. lol

[lplozada]

Something nobody told me when I was learning to parallel stop: when you try to get the skates to release so that you can get sideways, make the blades more upright, NOT edged. You actually want to use the flat of the blades and lose traction. Don't try to edge into the stop until you're established sideways. Don't get discouraged: I'm 31 and have learned how to do it. Like others have already said practice until you get it and don't be afraid to fall in the process.

i like chocolate.

[yourm0mlikesme]

but you are basically stopping on the inside and outside edges correct? I find my self stopping fine with my outside foot, but my inside always gets caught or it just drags..no matter what side I stop on...I guess im doin a one footed stop then lol

[lplozada]

Yes, that it correct: your inside foot uses its outside edge and the outside foot uses its inside edge. I had the same problem you described as far as the inside foot chattering/getting caught and I rectified that issue by using a less aggressive angle. Again, keep that inside foot even more upright and you should see the catching problem go away.
