Jarick 5 Report post Posted January 19, 2007 I'm still figuring out weak side stopping.One thing that helped me is to kind of rotate my hips like I'm "turning" and then kind of bend my knees and sit my butt down a little. And in the process, my outside leg would slide out on the inside edge of the blade. So I did this for about a couple hours, and now I can feel the blade sliding smoother. From there, it's a matter of skating a bit faster and stopping until I'm doing it at full speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Docter Pepper 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2007 we were taught to "bend our knees and turn" as little kids. When i started trying to stop facing the other direction i had troubles. Repitition is the best way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trox_355 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2007 While learning stops to the left (I'm still working on stops to the right), I seemed to work into them by starting a tight turn. When I got to the point where the slide took place, I was moving in an arc before finally stopping. After a couple of weeks, I managed to get it in a straight line. As the other posts mentioned, think about unweighting yourself just before you start the slide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
srv2miker 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2007 One little tip that worked for me was to not watch my feet. I had a bad habit of being unsure of myself, so I'd look down to watch my stop. When you go into your stop, keep your head up and look at the boards, glass, or whatever, just don't look at the ice. This should help with your weight distribution and make your stops easier. At least, that's how it worked for me. The side benefit of course is that you can keep your eye on the play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
