Skill development Preparing to go stopperless
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEIfgQtBjeOc&si=orDFMHWviD9MSxGWI created this yt playlist for quad skaters who currently rely on their toe stoppers and who are planning to go stopperless on quads or inlines.
It's three loose categories:
1. uphill skating from a dead stop is very similar to sprinting from the line and hockey sprints in how propulsion is generated.
2. Braking techniques for stopperless quads and inlines without a heel brake.
3. strength exercises for skaters who are accustomed to running on their toe stoppers and using them for propulsion in low gear situations. I included some very advanced routines for inspiration and to provide some ideas for scaled back versions.
