It's not like ice skating when it comes to stopping. Rollerblades have brakes on the *back* of the blade as opposed to the front on ice skates, Er, one should not use one's toe-rake as a brake! I think you'll find the better skaters don't do it, but stop the way the hockey-players do, or else use a "T-stop" or even a "Show stop". so using the toes may tend to cause the blader to lose control. It's much like the difference between downhill skiing and XC skiing. If you shift your weight and sit back on XC skis to slow down as you would with alpine, you're going to lose your balance and fall backward. Jenn who has the broken tailbone to prove it! Oww!
