Toe Stops for Roller Skates & Jam Plugs for Roller Dancing

Maintain Control With a New Toe Stopper

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

Toe stoppers come in two styles: bolt-on stoppers and adjustable ones. Bolt-on versions feature a small hole and attach to the plate with a screw passing through the stopper. Adjustable toe stoppers allow for varied lengths tailored to personal preference. It's crucial to understand that the choice depends on the toe stop housing, which refers to how this part of the plate is constructed.

For effective stopping with roller skate stoppers, lift the heel of your back leg, then apply gentle pressure to the toe stop by pulling your leg forward. Ensure your weight is shifted onto the leg not responsible for stopping during this process.

Experience Authentic Jam Skating with Jam Plugs

Elevate your roller dance or jam skating with purpose-built jam plugs offering superior performance. In contrast to regular toe stoppers, jam plugs have a smaller profile, enabling smoother transition and fluidity on the rink. Perfect your spins, slides, and complex footwork without the danger of snagging or tripping on a protruding toe stop. Stay in harmony with the rhythm using jam plugs specifically crafted for the dynamic nature of jam skating, empowering you to enhance your abilities.

Changing Roller Skate Toe Stoppers

While most roller skates come equipped with pre-fitted toe stoppers, they endure significant wear and eventually need replacement. Ideally, replace your stoppers before they become excessively worn.

The required tools vary based on your stopper model. Begin by attaching the stopper to the plate using the lock nut and washer if necessary. Adjustable toe stoppers offer the option to modify the height of the stopper once it's fastened. Before heading out to skate, ensure everything is securely tightened.
