There are four main ways to stop or slow down a skateboard: 1) The first way is to ride out your speed. This assumes that you have enough pavement ahead of you to slow down. You can further reduce speed by carving and air braking with this technique. This is the slowest way to stop a skateboard and will obviously not save you in an emergency braking situation. 2) The second method is foot braking.
In skating, one skate pushes and the other skate glides--there is very little friction to slow you down. Speed skater Hiroyasu Shimizu of Japan can travel 500 meters in just 35.39 seconds, an average speed of 14.13 meters per second or 31.6 miles per hour.he friction between the blade and the ice is minimized because the surface of the ice is so slippery, and because only a small portion of the skate's blade is actually in contact. The Mechanics of Skating NHL players can reach speeds in excess of 20 miles (32 km) per hour on the ice.
