Last Wednesday for reasons I forget I tried the T stop, but with the stopping foot in front and to one side of the other foot, thus forming an L shape. I have no idea what the correct name is. And to my surprise I did it near perfectly using the outside edge on my right foot. It seems that my new skates are giving me quite a bit more control as this evaded me previously. I can see why figure skaters use this stop, it allows you to face forwards, and it is effective and a lot more elegant than the snow plough. I tried on my left foot, with less success, I can do it but it’s messy and incorrect. More practice is needed.
