Stopping a skateboard is an essential skill for any skateboarder. There are several different ways to stop, and the best method will vary depending on the situation. It is important to practice stopping in a safe environment until you are comfortable with the techniques.
One of the most common ways to stop a skateboard is to drag your foot on the ground. To do this, simply place your back foot on the tail of the board and drag your front foot on the ground behind you. This will cause the board to slow down and eventually come to a stop. Another way to stop a skateboard is to use the brakes. Most skateboards have brakes that are activated by squeezing a lever on the side of the board. When you squeeze the lever, the brakes will rub against the wheels and slow down the board.
