How do you stop in figure skating and skiing?
In figure skating, there are a bunch of ways to stop. The most common ones are the T-stop, and Hockey stop. To do the T-stop, you put your feet like a backwards T (whichever foot is most comfortable for you) and angle your back foot so that you stop. The hockey stop seems somewhat easier; to do this, you must turn your foot (again, whichever is easier) to the side and slightly angle it.

if u want to know how to ice skate go to a local ice rink and pay for group lessons and when u are very good like me u can get private lessons. WRONG. you have lessons if you want to learn jumps,technique, spins etc............
before even considering lessons go to your nearest rink and just start to get a feel for the ice. Go round slowly and you eventually will be able to skate. i would recommend you go with someone who is confident on the ice so they can help you round.
EDIT BY BURNOUT10 = the first time i went i was great all you need to know is how to start off..... Lean on your weak foot and push out on your good foot in a "v-shape", then continue on the next foot.
-----Also, don't forget to get good skates and not use the rentals ones. Their really bad!
Ilikekittens(me) says-that was a pretty generic question I could answer somthing more specific like a certain jump or spin. if you want to learn to skate: get lessons.
