Step 1: Shift Weight Forward
- Make sure your weight is shifted on your front foot
- This will help you control the direction of the board and prepare for stopping
Step 2: Keep Your Balance
- Keep your knees slightly bent
- This will help you maintain balance and control while you slow down
Step 3: Slightly Touch the Surface and Slow Down
- As you approach the desired stopping point, slightly touch the ground with your back foot
- This will create friction on the wheels and slow down the board
- Remember to maintain your balance and continue to shift weight to your front foot
*Most Common Mistakes at this stage
- Placing too much weight on the back foot, which can cause loss of balance and possibly a fall
- Trying to stop too abruptly, which can cause the board to slide out from under you
- Failing to maintain control and balance throughout the stopping process
