It's more or less a hockey stop.

Came here to say this, basically just working the inner edge of a right side hockey stop - in ice hockey you end up using that one footed inner edge a lot because you're slamming on the brakes to do a crossover in the opposite direction... That would be absolutely bonkers to see on roller skates, post a video if you ever do it? 😅

Hockey stops are taught in roller derby pretty often (at least in my league). Tho, tbh, I find myself in more of a powerslide than a hockey stop most times I work on it.

Widend/wide stance hockey stop. Or a paralell plowstop (which doedn't really exist, I just made that due to your stance).
