Hey Bender, I don't think its so much about leaning as it is about bending your knees, try and get lower.

you can do a power slide where one leg is stuck outwards, and the other forms a t-shape... difficutl to explain.

you can do a hockey stop on inline.

cant find the one i wanted to show though.

That stop sound gives me shudders/goosebumps. It's like scratching a chalk board. <_<

Word.

The best guys stop so close to a double ice stop that you really notice no difference. Look at them, see if you can watch some game at the highest level possible and go from there.

I think it takes some practice. When I first started, I could only do a power slide on my right side, never on my left.

Fast forward to present day and skip a few years, I can still do a powerslide on my right side, hockey stop on my right, and power slide on my left.

Never tried ice yet... so dont know if the mechanics of doing all the inline will work out.

sorry for the odd question but when falling in inline hockey do you slide like you would on ice

(no were to play or whatch inline hockey near me so never have :P)

nope you stick to the asphalt or concrete, it hurts a lot more. and say goodbye to your pants, they'll be nice and tattered in no time. i always just buy cheap pants cause i go through them.
