Generally being of a deeper and faster style movement, these are also done for recreational reasons but with a competitive edge. The wheels are being designed to be increasingly larger so that a longer wheel base is evident.
Brakes are not normally used for either of these styles; therefore there is a need to be competent in ways that allow the skater to stop effectively. Examples of which would include slaloming which is actually a form of skating in S curves or V plowing, otherwise known as snow plowing.
These can be done with the heels being pushed outward and the toes inward. The v stop is usually used in situation where there is little lateral and forward room to stop.
Then there is also the T stop technique where the one foot is dragged perpendicular to being the other; however this sometimes wears the wheel of the skates quite quickly. Picking up one foot and setting it down quickly and repeatedly in a perpendicular fashion, to the forward motion will also help to effectively stop the skating motion.
