Underground car parks are super smooth and ideal place to practice.
So if you can propel yourself forward without lifting your feet, parallel feet wide-together-wide-together repeat.
Try doing that in reverse, knees slightly bent leaning forward slightly.
Start really slowly, to stop arms stretched out both sides, one toe stop.
I reckon stopping like this is the easiest.

Yes, the woman who served me had ‘views’ about hockey skates it seemed!
She was American and hadn’t really seen it outside of roller hockey players til she moved to London.
I sorta learned to turn around today, would like to be able to skate backwards by the end of the week. Lucky to have a smooth underground carpark in my building.
