Well, I got a pair of rollerblades about 3 weeks ago and I'm pretty good at balancing with them. I'm still working on speed which is going fairly well, but I need a little help with braking.
Okay, well, I have a pair of Buare rollerblades and I do have a brake pad on my right foot. It's a little worn down and hard to stop with. I'm planning on trying to learn how to stop without the brake. It's kind of important that I do.
Today, I was going down a fairly large hill on my rollerblades with my friends and I was going very fast and there was a road with cars ahead of me. I couldn't break with the breaks so I made a quick decision and rolled onto the grass. It was a bad landing and I hurt my knees. Not badly, but it could have been worse if I hadn't grabbed on to a pole before falling which slowed me down a little.
I feel it's important that I learn how without the brakes to avoid any further injuries.
In your opionion, what do you think is the fastest way to stop quickly?
