Toe Stops for Roller Skates & Jam Plugs for Roller Dancing

Maintain Control With a New Toe Stop

Halt right there! Toe stops are essential for halting and slowing down on your roller skates. With them, you lift yourself off the back wheels to prevent your skates from rolling. Quad skate toe stops are situated at the front of the skate and consist of two parts: the stopper and the threaded stem.

There are two varieties of toe stops: bolt-on stoppers and adjustable toe stops. Bolt-on toe stops feature a small hole and attach to the plate with a screw passing through the stopper. Adjustable toe stops can be set to various lengths to better fit your personal preference. It's crucial to remember that your choice depends on the construction of this part of the plate, referred to as the toe stop housing.

To stop properly using roller skate stoppers, lift your back leg heel and then gently apply pressure to the toe stop by dragging your leg forward. Ensure you distribute your weight onto the leg that is not braking.

Enjoy the Authentic Jam Skating Experience with Jam Plugs

Enhance your roller dance or jam skating with specialised jam plugs made for superior performance. Unlike conventional toe stops, jam plugs provide a reduced profile, allowing for smoother transitions and more fluid movements on the rink. Master your spins, slides, and intricate footwork without the risk of catching or tripping on a protruding toe stop. Stay in harmony with the rhythm using jam plugs crafted for the active demands of jam skating, giving you the assurance to elevate your skills.

Replacing Roller Skate Toe Stops

Although most roller skates come with pre-assembled toe stops, they endure significant wear and will eventually need replacing. Ideally, you should replace your stoppers before they become excessively worn.

The tools required vary by the model of toe stops you possess. Initially, you need to attach the stopper to the plate with the lock nut and washer if necessary. If you have adjustable toe stops, you can alter the height of your stopper once it's fitted. Before you begin skating, ensure everything is tightened securely.
