Board Stop

[AdamS]

Beginners question. How do i stop quick on the Board when im rolling down a Street or something it's just i have to keep jumping off it. It get's kind of annoying having to keep jumping off. :-41:

[Leader]

run into a wall. that way you won't have to jump off.

Seriously I am new to so someone answer

[Lanzo]

u could just ollie do a 90 degree turn and land horizontal making sure u put ur weight to the back so u dont fall foward. Thats about the only thing i can think of.

[Koolaid]

Put your foot down its not that complicated.

[360degrees]

How about, kick the tail so the board flips to your hand and run it out, i do it...

[some_punk]

tail stop ahhh put your foot down

[skater4life19]

power slide

[smurf88]

power slide
Yeah, and put flat spots on your wheels. Just put your foot down.

[jack_morris]

and put a hole in your shoe. power slides are ace

[Breene]

you turn or get off the board. Thats like asking how do i stop running?

[smurf88]

I don't see how putting your foot on the ground will put a hole in your shoe. The ground isn't spiky.

[jack_morris]

if you constantly scrape your foot across the floor it will loose its grip and become thinner and thinner then eventualy put a hole into the shoe

[smurf88]

Then don't scrape your foot on the floor, just put it down and you'll stop immediately.

[sk8erguy]

that happens to me to.

Then don't scrape your foot on the floor, just put it down and you'll stop immediately.

I'm sure youre familar with momentum and gravity, right? If you're going with any sort of speed, you won't come to a complete and sudden stop. If you slam your foot down like that, you grind the sole of the shoe into the asphalt even harder, or your board will roll out from under you.

you turn or get off the board. Thats like asking how do i stop running?
I didn't ask for a smart comment. Im new to Skateboarding so it was easy enough to come here and ask. Thank you for all the help. :-41:

Try varying how you stop so your shoes don't get worn down quick, I usually either put my foot flat down to stop myself quickly, drag the toe of my shoe along the floor to slow myself down, or to slow myself quicker, like slam the back of my board down, although instead of the wood scraping, make my foot scrape, so the deck doesn't get razortail.

[smurf88]

If you put your foot down and then use your leg muscles to stop your board, you will stop immediately. End.

[goofy m3ng]

just jump off the board :p

[StevoElSupremo]

stop drop and roll

[danielb]

or if you lean over to turn fat enough, and flip it on its side that's what I do sometimes, other than power sliding.

[goofy m3ng]

or if ur on a heaps long+wide hill or sunmfin u can just turn heaps until u lose speed then jump off

I agree so much with you

[_DaviD_]

stop drop and roll

If you're on fire...thats the better idea.

[insertnamehere]

How about you just put your foot down? You usually don't have to stop so fast and hard that you will wear through your shoe.

[kaykay]

haha, you could try putting your foot down

[-0-RiOt]

Yeah, and put flat spots on your wheels. Just put your foot down.

i got an idea... combine them do short powerslide then the foot ahhhh doubt it'll work though but go for it

[Street-VS-Snow]

well i say power slide bc a set of wheels is usually a lot cheaper than a pair of shoes

[skate extreme12]

powerslide my friend
