Most skates only come with one brake but you can usually change it to the other foot if that is the one you prefer to have out front.


A quick test to know which foot to have the brake on is to glide forwards on your skates and to scisors your feet (one forward one back) in each direction. The side that is more comfortable being ahead should be your braking foot.


The big key to effective braking (and much else in skating) is to get some bend in your knees. This allows you to scisors your feet farther. You want the front skate to be completely ahead of the back skate, then you can put more pressure on the brake.


There are tutorials on a couple of sites.

The rollerblade site (link above) also has two animations on different turning methods with good descriptions about how to do them. The A frame is a good place to start and the parallel turn is more advanced. Most of the time, my turns are a mixture of the two.


The key to the A frame turn is the outer foot. Most of your weight goes on it and it controls the turn with your inside foot just supporting you.


The key to the parallel turn is the leading (inside) foot. It guides you around the turn.


Both turns can be done with both feet solidly on the ground but, as with many skating moves, are easier if you take a little weight off the toes.





If you do an online search for inline skate clubs in your area, you may find people who can show you the details in person.
Reply:put more weight on the inner foot with respect to the turn. to break just lift your toes.
