New York Stop (skating)
"New York Stop" is a skating stop, even more difficult that a "power stop." I suppose it's called "New York" because it's the most difficult.
It appears to be a new term, from the late 1980s or early 1990s.

NEW YORK STOP:
Harder than even the power stop, the New York stop is mainly a power stop but you don't turn your gliding foot! It doesn't appear that just anyone can perform this stop, since it seems to require quite a bit of knee flexibility. L = the track left by the left skate, R = ditto by the right skate
(See the diagram on this "skatefaq" website - ed.)
This stop requires your knee to be twisted inward (not a natural position, by far), so if you can't do it, I wouldn't say it's a big loss since it seems to have above average potential to cause injury if done wrong.

The difference:
New York Stop - going forwards.
Powerstop - going backwards.
Otherwise, same idea.
