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 bringing you to a halt and controlling your speed on roller skates. By using toe stops, you lift yourself off the back wheels to prevent your skates from rolling. Quad skate toe stops are located at the front of the skate, consisting of two parts: the stopper and the threaded stem.

Toe stops come in two varieties: 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 extended or shortened to better match your preferences. It's crucial to recognise that the choice depends on the design of the toe stop housing, which is part of the plate's construction.

To effectively stop using roller skate stoppers, raise the heel of your back leg and gradually apply pressure to the toe stop by dragging your leg forward. Ensure that your weight is balanced on the leg that is not doing the stopping.

Enhance the Authentic Jam Skating Experience with Jam Plugs

Elevate your roller dance or jam skating with specialised jam plugs crafted for peak performance. In contrast to conventional toe stops, jam plugs possess a lower profile, facilitating smoother transitions and seamless movements on the rink. Master your spins, slides, and intricate footwork without worrying about snagging or stumbling over a protruding toe stop. Stay in tune with the beat using jam plugs tailored to the vibrant needs of jam skating, empowering you to advance your skills significantly.

Replacing Roller Skate Toe Stops

Most roller skates come fitted with toe stops, but due to wear and tear, they will require replacement eventually. Ideally, you should replace your stoppers before they become excessively worn.

The tools necessary vary according to the type of toe stops you own. Begin by fixing the stopper onto the plate with a lock nut and washer if required. If you have adjustable toe stops, you can alter the height of your stopper once it's attached. Before you set out skating, ensure everything is securely fastened.
