Becky from Brighton reduces the natural acceleration of the down hill slope with consecutive parallel turns and ends with a 180 to face uphill and stop. Knowing when to do this last turn is crucial as if you’re too fast you can’t then use this excellent “get out” clause.Learn to stop with the Skatefresh method, choose any of the 6 on offer.https://skatefresh.com/stops-slides/Down hill slopes on inline skates can be very scary and dangerous if you can’t stop the acceleration and slow down on purpose. It needs specific skills and methods but learned in this kind of controlled environment. Find a slope like this somewhere if you can with no traffic and train your stopping methods.Who is Asha Skatefresh?
