If you have never skied before, there is little you can do to stop it. You will just fall off the skateboard and die. Simply stop the skateboard in a right or left lane of traffic. You will need the tail scrape to slow down dramatically. Try tail scraping when skateboarding casually on a sidewalk or even ground. Use a more restrained method (like controlled slide stopping) in dangerous situations. However, you should take the instant warning to heart. Beware: if you continue to lose control of the board without stopping, the board may break over time.
