Freeskate Brakes for the Best Control

Brakes for freeskates are located at the heel of the skate and provide the easiest way to stop. It's always wise to have a brake, especially if you're a beginner. There are more advanced braking techniques without heel brakes, such as t-stops and powerslides, which require some experience before attempting. When freeskating in busy urban areas, you never know when a pedestrian or vehicle may unexpectedly cross your path.

Skate brakes are typically made from rubber, making them lightweight and suitable for both hard and slow stops. However, one crucial factor to consider when purchasing a brake is its compatibility with your existing skates. This information can be found in the product description.

Of course, the most critical part of your skates for maintaining control is your wheels. If your current set is worn out, check out our selection of Freeskate Wheels.
