I've just made a short (7 minutes) video that dissects the technique behind the Derby Stop. This stop is also used in Starlight Express productions and is called a Component Backstop. However you intend to use it, this method of stopping is super efficient, once you perfect it!!

12 video lessons* you can download to your iPod or other player and take to the park, or wherever you skate. This first series covers ALL the basics of skating including the exercises we use to train the actors for Starlight Express (many of whom have never skated before being hired to do the show).

No matter what you want to do on skates, the better basics you learn in the beginning the easier it will be for you to master the skills of jam skating, roller derby, artistic, speed, hockey or even just skating in the park with friends.

The lessons come standard on a 16G flash drive in Quicktime format (.mov).
