Toe Stops for Roller Skates & Jam Plugs for Roller Dancing

Maintain Control With a New Toe Stop

Halt immediately! Possessing toe stops is crucial for halting or decelerating on your roller skates. Using toe stops, you raise yourself above the rear wheels, preventing your skates from rolling. Quad skate toe stops are positioned at the front and consist of two parts: the stopper and the stem with a screw thread.

Toe stops come in two varieties: bolt-on stoppers and adjustable toe stops. Bolt-on versions feature a minor opening and are secured to the plate with a screw passing through the stopper. Adjustable toe stops can be modified to various lengths to better align with your preferences. It's essential to understand that your choice depends on the construction of the plate's section, referred to as the toe stop housing.

To brake properly using roller skate stoppers, elevate the heel of your trailing leg and gently apply pressure to the toe stop by moving your leg forward. While executing this, ensure that your weight is distributed over the leg not responsible for stopping.

Experience Authentic Jam Skating With Jam Plugs

Enhance your roller dance or jam skating with specialist jam plugs crafted for peak performance. Jam plugs, unlike conventional toe stops, provide a more compact profile, enabling smoother manoeuvres and transitions on the rink. Refine your spins, slides, and complex footwork without the hazard of snaring or stumbling over a protruding toe stop. Stay attuned to the rhythm with jam plugs that cater to the dynamic requirements of jam skating, instilling confidence to elevate your skills further.

Steps to Replace Roller Skate Toe Stops

Although most roller skates feature pre-assembled toe stops, they experience significant wear and will eventually require replacement. Ideally, replace your stoppers before they deteriorate excessively.

The tools necessary will vary based on the type of toe stops you possess. Initially, you must affix the stopper to the plate using the lock nut and washer, if required. With adjustable toe stops, you can alter the height of your stopper post-attachment. Before skating, ensure everything is securely fastened.
