Lunge Stop

The lunge stop is probably one of the most rarely used inline skating moves, but it also happens to be one of the most graceful. Another similiar motion is the lunge turn. Both are a great way to tone the quardriceps, just make sure you leave plenty of room for execution.

The beginning resembles a parallel turn, only the turn radius is much shorter & the wheels are at a sharp enough angle to the ground to dissipate speed.

From a standing position: lunge forward, one leg at a time.

To get a feeling for corresponding edges, stand an arm's length away from a wall with your skates on. Scissor your right leg forward & lean your right shoulder against the wall. This puts you on corresponding edges. Turn around & repeat this drill on your left side.

Make a deep lunge
Make sure your lunge is deep enough. A deep lunge puts the inside edge of your right skate at a greater angle. The greater the angle, the greater the pressure you can apply. Pressure is what gives you the tight, stable turn you need to stop.

Terrain
You need a relatively level grade to execute this move
