I find that if you bring your knees up more and turn your run into a jog then back into a walk is the safest way. It may not stop you on the spot but you can stop within a couple of strides and if your running then you should be able to jog/walk !?
This is also a easy and safe way to change directions too !

Stopping on stilts is like stopping on foot once you've done it a couple of times  :-\

Someone bound to come up with a chart one day of stopping distances  ;D

There you are taking your Bocking Test

Now sir. What isthe stopping distance of a bocker traveling at 20mph on a dry road ?

Arr ... Mmm ...  I don't know I just fall over !?

LOL

wlel if u know ur bocks it preety simple

10 mph - about a meter
20 mph - 4 meters (depending on floor and how good you are) could be 3 meters or 5 best technique is lean slighlty back and strt using the grip of the hoffs to stop you ;D

                                              i carnt spel... or maybe you cant read ;)

When people see you running they think that looks great !
Things is when your stopping most people think your having a fit ( arms waving all over to keep balance )  ;D

I tried stopping with a traffic sign pole and inadvertantly did some impromptu pole dancing! Looked classy as hell! Not!

The way stop best is by leaning back and slowing down when I want to stop. You still have to take into account a few feet stopping distance though.

i find running and stopping a great way to drp, as it promotes skidding more than any other move, skidding on bocks is fun.
i say one big bounce instead of steps then take the bounce out the landing with your knees.

“Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... WOW! What a ride!”

i love the way the last post was almost a year ago excluding evil-t ... but still im going to post any wya

i recon the best way to stop is to bounce backwards off one foot like kinda putting all the energy in to a major hop thus ending up about a meter or 2 behind you lol

works wonderes unless you slip and endup under a car.... i love bocking along a road and running full pelt at cars then bouncing on to the pavement the look on the drivers faces.....

just for the record there are very few cars on my road... unless its school pick up time then ther are tones of kids so you still get attention lol
