Stride one:
The first steps to get people who are new to inline skating rolling
slowly forward are known as the "duck walk steps"

Ready position:
A crouch in which to create balance when learning the basics. This
position is used throughout skating as a starting point for many
other skills like a backward dead stop for example

Scissor stance:
Probably one of the most important things you will ever learn in
skating. This is the bit that is going to keep you on your feet and
off your bottom, and it's the foundation skill for most of the
inline skating skills. Not to mention really useful for street
skating and performing advanced turns and stops

Heel brake stop:
A stop by using the rubber stopper on the back of the skates.
This "IS" the most effective and powerful way to stop
