loved that last stop.. very rad!
it is actually derbynewsnetwork the one above is missing the “s” and will
take you to the new york times.
Lol my first roller skates were like that and I used to stop the tomahawk
way the other way round and hit the floor lol
@kriptonitekaya you can watch live games on derbynewnetwork (dot) com
That last one looked really cool!
i thought she did a great job on all stops except the snow-plow.
these are great litle instructional videos! Thank you & well done! Keep ’em
coming!!
Ah, we call the last one a Suicide Stop.
Something that no one told me when I first started was that T-stops are
SUPPOSED to make that horrible noise.
genial video!! no ovidar usar protecciones!! yo me quise hacer lacanchera y
estuve con una peloa en la muñequa toda na semana!!
maybe its just because she is going so slow, but those have to be the worst
forms of those stops I have seen. a T stop should not be using all for
wheels down on the back foot. if your inside wheels are down you could pull
and break your ankle. consider going 10 times faster than she was. and the
snow plow you should never end up with your feet so close together at the
end, you just fall over on your face when going fast.
Tomahawk stops = love. Your so graceful when you do them!
I just learned how to tomahawk stop last night. I kept stopping half way
through the spin because my left leg wasn’t cooperating. xD
i actually found the t stop to be harder. especially on a hard wood floor.
nope! my crew has men in it!!
Poobah: Thanks for the advice. I already own the Chicago skates. While not
the top of the line skates of today, they were best of the best in 1980.
They’re just fine for now. I needed only to buy some wheels and I did. I
just received them several days ago. I purchased a set of Riedell Flat
Outrageous wheels. Should I start skating frequently, I will invest in a
new pair of top of the line quality skates. But for now, these will have to
do. Thanks again.
The snowplow is the most effective roller derby stop because it is much
harder to know someone over when they are in a snow plow. With the T-stop
all of your weight is on one foot and your center of gravity is higher. It
is more useful than the tomahawk because you can slow down in front of
someone when you are blocking and it is hard for them to get around you.
Omg wtf are you wearing :
Yeah, the level of badassery exuded by that last stop was immense. 🙂
Maybe someone here can tell me – when did Roller Derby become an
exclusively women’s activity?
haha I tired the t stop and fell over on my ass, lots of fun.
@hezbag0311 don’t talk rubish everyone skates on different wheels
As a fresh meat Derby Skater, I wanted to thank you soo much for your
videos! They are soo helpful! Your explanations are wonderful and very much
appreciated!! Keep em coming!
chrstilen5: you can’t use Rollerblades in Derby!
I can do the snow plow so far. Two more stops to go, woohoo!
That last stop was nifty =D
@monkeyjunki it’s duct tape.
The tomahawk I see some say is a suicide stop. but a suicide stop includes
a jump!
@slings4u Yeah, helpful points for sure, but what I was saying is that bank
track is often faster than flat track. There are times – like at slower
speeds – when what she demonstrated was spot on. I agree with you that at
faster speeds a different demonstration and execution would be appropriate.
Yes, these points in the video are spot on for a flat track player.
@slings4u Those point are more relevant to bank track roller derby. Skaters
are moving at WAY slower speeds on flat tracks.
tears alot on the rubber wheels….ALOT…
@hezbag0311 i’m not being rude i was just pointing out that you were
talking rubish, the reason you probably can’t do a powerslide is because
you are skating the wrong wheels, if the are too grippy they are no good
for derby as you use too much energy to push so they slow you down. saying
derby wheels are too grippy is a newbie comment, i have at least 6 sets of
wheels for all the different surfaces i bout on, they range from rock hard
but really slippy to stick like shit to a blanket
be my personal trainer! 😀
This was the last usefull video in the series, but this is really well
done, I appreciate the time you took to make this and post it, the way you
describe the movements is helpful. =)
@ScaperSteph I’ve watched girl’s games and they skate alot slower then we
did in derby so stops are easier. The faster you go the more you bear down
on the back leg. It get’s real easy after awhile. As for the tomahawk, we
never did it, mainly because we never has toe stops on our skates. So we
did something similar..a hockey stop, just like you see them do in hockey
games. That’s alot harder to learn and if you’re skating on flat track
rather then banked I would bother learning it.
The pads are standard roller derby pads, they are required in the WFTDA
handbook. They are used for intentional falling.
You mean your not supposed to stop by rolling into the wall? (Yes, I’m
joking.) Am I the only one that has a hard time doing a t-stop with my
right foot dragging? I started derby training two weeks ago and one of the
instructors mentioned most people have a hard time using their left like I
do. (I’m left handed.. maybe that’s got something to do with it?)
dat last move was awesome!!
Of course the coolest looking one has to be most difficult 😛
@extraviMaddie1234 Sweet thank you 🙂 I have joined roller derby and wanted
to watch some games
ooh my god she looked totally cool doing the hamababa stop or whatever it’s
called XD
We call them “suicides,” lol
you’re awesome
