In this video, Asha from Skatefresh answers a viewer’s question about the flexibility needed for one of the most popular inline skating slides.If you’re over 40or simply finding the Soul Slide difficultthese two simple flexibility tests will help you understand whether your body has the range of motion needed before you spend hours practising.You’ll learn: The minimum hip internal rotation needed for a Soul Slide Why wheel angle is just as important as body position Two quick self-tests you can do anywhere using nothing more than a chalk line How flexibility affects your ability to slide your wheels instead of gripping the groundThese tests can help you identify whether flexibility is limiting your progress, or whether you simply need to refine your skating technique.Learn all six stopping and sliding techniques in Skatefresh’s complete online course:https://skatefresh.com/stops-slides/FREE Inline & Roller Skating Video PacksChoose your skating level and start improving today.Inline Beginner Starter PackStatic preparation, basic movement and two stride & balance drillshttps://skatefresh.com/freebie-beginner/Inline Intermediate PackLunge Turn tutorial plus three stride fitness drillshttps://skatefresh.com/freebie-intermediate/Inline Advanced PackComplete Barrel Roll lesson plus Double Push drillshttps://skatefresh.com/freebie-advanced/Quads Beginner Starter PackStatic preparation, basic movement and T-Stophttps://skatefresh.com/freebie-quads/Who is Asha Skatefresh?

Is the PowerStop the Best Stopping Method on Rollerblades? Its impressive when its done right.
from SkatefreshAsha on 8 Jul 2026

Are you stuck on the PowerStop? Nail it with our Online Training Program https://skatefresh.com/stops-slides/The PowerStop is one of the hardest moves to master because it demands fluent turns and the ability to carve deep corresponding edges (inside edge on one foot and outside edge on the other).Most skaters struggle with learning the PowerStop because they (unknowingly) skip the prerequisite Lunge Turn & Lunge Stop. Trying instead to just skate and then turn 90 degrees into a PowerStop is the best way to end up falling sideways onto your hip. Building the PowerStop from a Lunge Stop will be a smooth progression without the nasty falls.The Skatefresh PowerStop online training includes detailed training on the Lunge Turn, Lunge Stop and finally PowerStop. Youll end up with 2 new stopping methods and become one of the few skaters able to do this impressive move. The PowerStop then becomes the prerequisite for the even more challenging Hockey stop / Parallel slide. Who is Asha Skatefresh?
