How do roller skis stop?

Published in Roller Skiing 1 min read

Roller skis can be stopped using a technique similar to a V-stop, but with small steps.

The provided video mentions one stopping technique, which involves a modified V-stop. Here's a breakdown of how that technique works:

  • Modified V-Stop with Steps: This technique involves taking small, controlled steps while gradually widening the angle between the skis, similar to a snowplow or V-stop on snow skis. This increased angle and the friction from the steps help to slow down and eventually stop the roller skis.

Without further context or additional reference material, it is difficult to provide a comprehensive overview of all roller ski stopping techniques. However, the 'V-stop with steps' gives a basic understanding.
