I want to see DD skate!!! We get to see you in all your badassery but she never shows off!! Also, please show us exercises to do off skates that will help on skates. I've seen your abs video. That was helpful! And Deb told me to balance, I'm doing that. I want more!! More fitness.
Hey, im always tripping and falling cause im leaning forward too much that the wheels lock. What can i do to ensure the correct posture but not lean too far back and fall backward? (I broke my wrist falling backwards in feb )
When I started out, first day I was clinging to the walls and trying to keep my balance. Now I can skate backwards on two wheels. Everyone starts from somewhere, so don’t be embarrassed to be a beginner.
Thanks so much this is so Inspirational. I’m saving up my money to buy roller skates and I love going to the rink (I live in Australia so not that rink)
Fazion London I’ve been speed skating and smashed right into the front of a 5ish year old going the wrong way (tbh I got hurt worse), but it is extremely dangerous, don’t do it.
MemeLord TM I’ve done the same thing due to kids going the wrong way. My skating rink used to having an outer line with arrows but they repainted to solid blue :/
Or crossing the floor from through the middle, the middle is mostly used for people doing tricks and the outer edge is for fast skaters. Crossing the floor from the middle messes up the people doing tricks, jam, and fast skaters it pisses me off so much
Yea, I learned, walking straight is dangerous for beginners, it only makes you skate backwards making it easier to fall and get hurt, it sounds weird but its safer, my classes and my old freind showed me to walk with your feet sideways
I always look at my feet when in public spaces due to my social anxiety but every time I skate, I become a different, I’m more open, I talk to people and I don’t look at my feet, feels amazing, I just love skating
That’s amazing! This happens with me too, I feel confident when i skate... i’m not sure why, but it really helps with my anxiety and i’m so glad that it helps you too!
I feel you, I used to skate when I was like 10/11 but I stopped because i've gained so much weight and my foots grew up and I never found a proper size for me, but now that I lost weight (7 years later), hopefuly i will come back skating, because it was so amazing, it was like someone else possessed me while skating, I felt free and incredible, as if I was the main character, and I'm more than eager to feel that way again, just like music, skating can be an escape valve for me. My city have some skating groups, this can even be a new chance to meet new friends and get out of my own bubble.
Same! I actually approach people when I’m at the rink which I never do outside of that environment. I feel like the fun, musical atmosphere of it makes me feel more open. More of a childlike mentality of hey we’re all just having a good time- whuddup skate fam? 😂
I love how welcoming Deb is, "we want you to get your photos", "everyone falls", no elitist attitudes here. I was one of the best in my city, but always picked up the noobs when they fell etc. Skating is such a wonderfully social pastime where even socially awkward folks can be "cool" when they learn to skate well, one of my fondest memories, now time to teach my boy to skate...
I would just tell you to not help me up so that I can do it myself unless I was hypothetically seriously injured and couldn’t, but obviously not after a regular fall.
I soooo love this rink! I used to weigh nearly 400 lbs, and starting at about 250 lbs, I started skating here every Tuesday and Thursday morning. I skated my way down to 140 lbs, and skating helped me to learn how to be aware of my body... I moved away from SoCal in 2005, and I so miss this rink! Awhile back, I got Lyme which stopped me in my tracks. I am just now getting back into skating again. Unfortunately, where I live now (Long Island, NY), there is nothing that even comes close to this rink. Thank you both for sharing your videos! The info you both provide is so inspiring and helpful! (I just bought a pair of Moxi Lollys based on your recommendations, and I can't wait to get them so that I can start skating more regularly outdoors.)
@Holly NoFront It's not even so much the pebble as it is cracks. Cracks will hurt you. Learn to fall small, forward with your knees bent, and that should help. Don't let the scary stuff stop you!
TRUE advanced skaters appreciate and respect your struggle. Be proud, laugh, enjoy ❤️ learning is great fun I vividly remember--45 years ago 😱🤣 time flys, love every experience!
So I've been roller skating for about a month now and even just a few weeks in I had several people tell me how fast I got good at skating. I was never really bad at it😂 But recently while I was skating some guy came up behind me and pushed me and I fell on my tailbone. I had to go to the ER and turns out I bruised it. I didn't have time to think and fall lighter, so just so you guys know, you can't always predict your fall and help it hurt less.
Similar thing happened to me, i got shoved and then the girl ran over my wrist. This was an advanced older girl racing through the beginner room. It turned me off skating for the past 3-4 years cause i could only remember that. But im getting back into it now :)
I love Deb! She really has the type of personality that anyone can get along with. She makes me not feel as bad not having the money or resources to get good skates or be a good skater off the bat.
I started skating with a skate mate and I had to bend to hold it. Now I do some roller derby and I teach people how to skate. Trust me, we know how hard it is when you start off, but if you keep going it becomes really fun and enjoyable!
I was so proud when I got my rhythm to skate. My feet started instinctively pushing off the ground, and shifting side to side became second nature. I didn’t even realize until my mom pointed it out. *Now I’m working on falling well*
I never knew I needed this collab so badly until now. Epic!!! You can tell by the way she explains everything that Dirty Deb has so much experience, both skating herself and observing other (beginner) skaters. Very insightful, even as an intermediate skater. Keep up the good work, both of you, you rock!
Advanced skaters LOVE beginners!!!!! All of my friends and team love beginners when they respect the advanced skaters!! Also... guys if your a beginner.. do NOT be afraid to ask for help. My team and I are ALWAYS ready to give a few tips and help you out. We love teaching and I know hundreds of advanced skaters do aswell. Another BIG thing.. don’t let advance skaters make you nervous! We skate quick, we skate fancy, don’t be afraid of us knocking you over or hitting you. You do you and we’ll go around you. Don’t let us worry you.
I love this, my first experience on a rink was 2 years ago and it was terrifying, I fell like 50 times in less than 2 hours because I'd never worn skates before, hovewer, I really liked it. I haven't been back on the rink since then but I plan to because I just got my first pair of skates and I'm practicing on getting better ;)
Yes the Fairy Skatemother and my bff skate buddy I've never met lol You two brought skating joy back into my life! The best teachers in the same vid. What a blessing 💜😘😀🙏
I loved this episode!! Great advice! I have a problem, i need to drive somewhere in my car to go skate on concrete and i go alone, so i drive somewhere, park the car but then i sit in my parked car and i don't go... the fear of what people might think... So i drive home again without even coming out of the car to skate. Who else has this problem?
I JUST went through this a few days ago. Got my skates, had been dying to try them at a rink but had no one to go with. Got there, sat in my car for a minute, then pushed myself to go. Everyone was so nice and i didnt feel as insecure once i got on the floor. You can do it!
Thank you so much for saying advanced skaters respect the struggle of newbies! *cries* I'm always so self conscious that they're laughing at me for being so clumsy and just...bad...that I often won't try to do more than skate forward for fear of ridicule. Kids are mean to other kids, and that kind of constant treatment sticks with you throughout your life, even unconsciously. Even as a full grown adult with easily breakable bones, I can still hear them laughing when I fall. So thank you. Thank you SO much for validating the struggles we beginners have. I just got back into it a couple of days ago after over 10 years of not touching a pair of skates. I have to relearn everything, and all I can do so far is go forward and walk on my toe stops. I am afraid of transitions.
This helped a lot. My biggest problem is when I go with my friends they all already know how to skate. I am able to skate on the carpet just fine but when it comes to the rink it’s a whole new story lol 😂
I'm a newbie. Been practicing for less than a month. Shaky on my quads and I have a fear of falling and messing up. I will overcome all of these mental obstacles. These videos are so helpful.
I am so excited that I will be taking skate classes in September this year. Buying my first pair of skates in August, I want to skate for exercise and fitness, I am 53 years old . Thanks for this video ladies.
I just got roller skates and have been on them for only 5 HOURS... But thanks to your videos (and my ability to figure skate) I am getting really Good!!!!!! I just need a little more practice and confidence! Tysm!!!! 💞
I'm so excited to learn, I ordered some outdoor fames from yall a couple days ago! Sad I can't learn in a rink but by the time it's safe to be around people again I don't think I'll be a beginner anymore!
I use to skate all the time when I was a kid and i loved it sooo much! Then I grew up and started having kids but now that my kids are all teens and doing their own things I want to get back to it! This will be my me time!! Its therapeutic for me!
Thank you for talking about etiquette...! My biggest fear when trying something new like roller skating (first skates coming in the mail soon...!) I'm so scared I'm going to be breaking unspoken rules, or that everyone is looking at me and judging me because I'm doing something rude on accident- it calms my nerves! Thank you!!!
A vivid memory, my first time roller skating. Fernwood Gardens in Peoria, IL, in the 60s, with a youth fellowship group which my mom and dad led. Although I actually did make it around the floor a few times, it was watching mom and dad couples dance skating, after having not skated for over ten years, that was inspiring. What a picture they were. I got better over time, but seeing my parents skate is still a beautiful memory.
Indy, I just starded watching your videos yesterday but I love them so much. I used to roller skate all the time but then I grew out of my old ones and I didnt have enough money for new ones but your videos helped me find love for roller skating again and I'm getting a new pair of roller skates either tomorrow or the next day. And I'm so excited!
I'm 70 years old and I'm getting so comfortable on skates. I'm determined and practice almost every day, inside my kitchen, at the rink, or outside at a hockey rink. So fun Getting better at crossovers Transitions are iffy. I am from HB. I went to FVHS. GREAT teaching and videos. I've skating 8 months. My balance and legs stronger. Thank you
This helped a lot! Especially that my friend wanted to go roller skating for their birthday and I was so scared that I’m going to fall and I’m going to look like a fool. But this helped and I actually did good for my first time
So I used to 🛼 like 17 years ago....you couldn't get them off my feet.....then life happened and babies came and laundry and dishes piled up......and then an idea came to me during a boring season in the midst of a pandemic. I forgot what it felt like to be me, but then I strapped wheels on my feet and made a whole a*s steak dinner 🤣🤣🤣 I religiously watch both of y'all's channels and have been skating everyday....😬 Even if it's only 30 mins....but thanks to hardwood floors and long hallways 😘.... Then this Collab came up in my "recommended" and my heart turned into jelly beans, barings and cotton candy 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 Thank You Ladies! YOU! ARE! MAKING! A! DIFFERENCE! Ps....my skates have become my new "house shoes" and I still have them on hehehe 💓🎉💓🎉
I've been skating since i was 2 ( i am 11 as of now) and i always used Quads, (traditionals) and I've summer i was with a friend and she told me, "hey, you know how to ice skate?" I said, "well, ya." She said, "then you know how to rollerblade!!" So I ended up using rollerblades from then on. I've been using rollerblades for about 4 years now. in April, I was skating in my normal rollerblades (i had been using my blades for about 5 years at this point) I got my very first pair of quads !!! I was so excited!!! It has been years since I ever even tried lacing up my new skates. (at the time) my friend Max had a pair of skates called "Code Reds" from a company called VNLA SKATES(vanilla skates). He ended up convincing me to get the same skates he had (the Code Reds) now to current day I still have the same skates. I've learned so much on them if your ever in Bellevue NE. Come down to Skate City. It's an amazing roller rink down in my area, where I grew/growing up. Thank you so much for making skate videos for learner's and beginners. Love, Adrienne❤️🐢
Many thanks for this video, I loved it. Totally laughed and understand when you see people do the 'Jesus on the cross' maneuver and look totally awkward with there arms outstretched like a tight rope balancing walker. What they don't realise is how much space they suddenly take up doing that. Was really glad to see Dirty School of Skate and Planet Roller skate working together as I love both channels and find both of them great educational viewing. SKATE ON!!!
I just got my first pair of skates and was having a lot of trouble getting started. This video helped me SO MUCH thank you!!!! I’m almost crying I’m s o happy with how much this video did to help me! 💕
You always speak about techniques to improve, but never about how a flexible hip is key to properly skate. I started skating as an adult, and when i realized that my problem was a tight hip and trained by myself apart of the skates i improved really faster. Sorry for my words, I love your channell.
When I was a beginner I was 3 years old!! (Seriously, my dad used to take me all the time) but I was always so horrible, but, now I’m doing kinda good and yeah.. just get lots of practice if you want to do any sport anything any hobby, just practise a lot and it will help, trust me.
Back when I was 5 (woah!! it's been 9 years already? nice) i went skating for the first (and last) time i stayed at the walls for most of the time, or moved along with my mother it was really nice and it was good to be near the walls to get the hang of it im hopefully getting roller skates this christmas and just remembering how young i was when i went roller skating and how i just took it REALLY slow honestly being a 'beginner' is pretty cool, because it's trying something new and man that's cool ")
I’m only twelve, yet I can jump, jump off ramps thingies, go up and down ramps, do transition stops, do drag stops, do t-stops, skate backwards, skates forwards very quickly, go on the sides of bowls at skate parks, and most importantly fall without getting discouraged! P.s I’m not trying to brag, instead trying to inspire!
Good advice on the entry point. I always enter at that point during a speed skate. But I don't understand how you guys can skate with those high boots? Do they flex at all? Great stuff and your rink looks awesome.
What do you want to see next from me and Dirty Deb?!
ANYTHANG
Create/Modify a cool skate move maybe? 🤔
I want to see DD skate!!! We get to see you in all your badassery but she never shows off!! Also, please show us exercises to do off skates that will help on skates. I've seen your abs video. That was helpful! And Deb told me to balance, I'm doing that. I want more!! More fitness.
Hey, im always tripping and falling cause im leaning forward too much that the wheels lock. What can i do to ensure the correct posture but not lean too far back and fall backward? (I broke my wrist falling backwards in feb )
Can you unbox the Schwinn roller skates?
When I started out, first day I was clinging to the walls and trying to keep my balance. Now I can skate backwards on two wheels. Everyone starts from somewhere, so don’t be embarrassed to be a beginner.
Yes
This was so motivational! I'm currently clinging to the walls trying to stand up straight haha. Maybe one day I will be able to go backwards
@@LivingRequiresMusic same 😂😂😂😂
Thanks so much this is so Inspirational. I’m saving up my money to buy roller skates and I love going to the rink (I live in Australia so not that rink)
RequiresMusic hows it coming along?
One time i fell and did the splits....
I never knew i could do that till that moment...
Kinda felt awesome tbh but hurt like a mother ducker
I went today. I did the same except one of my knees was bent and the bottom of my leg went under me 😂
Same happened to mee
Same
Me too, I fell doing one leg split and I pulled a hamstring but as soon as I recover I can't wait to skate again!
I literally done that yesterday! It was amazing 🤣
"don't show up in club wear" Specifically directed towards middle school me thinking I was gonna show off
Omg thats me but i already wear tie dye and rainbow stuff
directed to me right now
me in middle school in 2021 about to go skating this weekend: 😳
Skinny jeans will not end well, if you can't fully squat in them do not wear them you need to be able to move
I wore tie dye balloon pants and a cropped camp tee thinking i did something 😂😂
so is putting rollerskates on your feet and hands and then skating around on all fours legal?
AidenViney yes
That one jackie Chan movie
AidenViney always depends on the place and how many people are in the rink
AidenViney i dO tHaT
LMAO!!!
And to all beginner skaters PLEASE SKATE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. It is DANGEROUS to skate in the opposite direction.
Fazion London I’ve been speed skating and smashed right into the front of a 5ish year old going the wrong way (tbh I got hurt worse), but it is extremely dangerous, don’t do it.
MemeLord TM I’ve done the same thing due to kids going the wrong way. My skating rink used to having an outer line with arrows but they repainted to solid blue :/
Or crossing the floor from through the middle, the middle is mostly used for people doing tricks and the outer edge is for fast skaters. Crossing the floor from the middle messes up the people doing tricks, jam, and fast skaters it pisses me off so much
Fazion London yeah no shit that’s common sense something tells me you found that out the hard way
Yea, I learned, walking straight is dangerous for beginners, it only makes you skate backwards making it easier to fall and get hurt, it sounds weird but its safer, my classes and my old freind showed me to walk with your feet sideways
I always look at my feet when in public spaces due to my social anxiety but every time I skate, I become a different, I’m more open, I talk to people and I don’t look at my feet, feels amazing, I just love skating

I’ve been a new roller skater for 2 years 😂
Same
Hahaha samee
Hahaha hey it’s the skater part that counts
Big mood
You are cute
😊
Also: don’t stop skating. Just like with a language or musical instrument the repetition of skating alone will make you more proficient.
I love how welcoming Deb is, "we want you to get your photos", "everyone falls", no elitist attitudes here. I was one of the best in my city, but always picked up the noobs when they fell etc. Skating is such a wonderfully social pastime where even socially awkward folks can be "cool" when they learn to skate well, one of my fondest memories, now time to teach my boy to skate...
Haha first I read it as "I always picked ON the noobs.." and I was like uh excuse me 😂
@@sanam1471 To funny, and sad at the same time knowing there are people who'd actually admit being bullies! You guys are awesome.
I would just tell you to not help me up so that I can do it myself unless I was hypothetically seriously injured and couldn’t, but obviously not after a regular fall.
my dance teacher would always say “if you look down at the floor, that’s where you’ll end up” 😂

Good saying lol

I have big skates 😭 oh well, took me a year to get a pair, there’s no way I was going to exchange them for different size. Plus I’ll grow into them
Wear two or three extra pairs of thick socks. It's a huge help!
I am so excited that I will be taking skate classes in September this year. Buying my first pair of skates in August, I want to skate for exercise and fitness, I am 53 years old . Thanks for this video ladies.
I wasn’t good at roller skating before I found your UA-cam channel Indy, but once I found it I improved so much! You are the best Indy! ❤️❤️
I just got roller skates and have been on them for only 5 HOURS... But thanks to your videos (and my ability to figure skate) I am getting really Good!!!!!! I just need a little more practice and confidence! Tysm!!!! 💞
I'm so excited to learn, I ordered some outdoor fames from yall a couple days ago! Sad I can't learn in a rink but by the time it's safe to be around people again I don't think I'll be a beginner anymore!
i LOVE that these two know eachother!
YESSS! 2 of my favourite youtuber collaborating!
So glad I watched this! It is like a dress-rehearsal and covered points I hadn’t thought of!
Just got my skates in the mail and these are my two faves. Deb had me at “Sit yo ass down!”
Stop y'all are so supportive! This was so encouraging thank you~
I use to skate all the time when I was a kid and i loved it sooo much! Then I grew up and started having kids but now that my kids are all teens and doing their own things I want to get back to it! This will be my me time!! Its therapeutic for me!
When she hit that “side to side” I felt that. Nothing beats skating to my jams 🙌🏼😊
Thank you for talking about etiquette...! My biggest fear when trying something new like roller skating (first skates coming in the mail soon...!) I'm so scared I'm going to be breaking unspoken rules, or that everyone is looking at me and judging me because I'm doing something rude on accident- it calms my nerves! Thank you!!!
A vivid memory, my first time roller skating. Fernwood Gardens in Peoria, IL, in the 60s, with a youth fellowship group which my mom and dad led. Although I actually did make it around the floor a few times, it was watching mom and dad couples dance skating, after having not skated for over ten years, that was inspiring. What a picture they were. I got better over time, but seeing my parents skate is still a beautiful memory.
Indy,
I just starded watching your videos yesterday but I love them so much. I used to roller skate all the time but then I grew out of my old ones and I didnt have enough money for new ones but your videos helped me find love for roller skating again and I'm getting a new pair of roller skates either tomorrow or the next day. And I'm so excited!
I'm 70 years old and I'm getting so comfortable on skates. I'm determined and practice almost every day, inside my kitchen, at the rink, or outside at a hockey rink. So fun
Getting better at crossovers
Transitions are iffy. I am from HB. I went to FVHS. GREAT teaching and videos. I've skating 8 months. My balance and legs stronger. Thank you
I agree. Your channel, Dirty Debbie and Joe Enthor are my roller skating gurus.
at 7:13 they started to move synced with the music!!! it's so satisfying
SO THATS WHY THEY HAVE MUSIC PLAYING ALL THE TIME!!!
? What when
Why?
If there was no music it would be boring
@@samd8872 the rhythm helps you skate when u start
This helped a lot! Especially that my friend wanted to go roller skating for their birthday and I was so scared that I’m going to fall and I’m going to look like a fool. But this helped and I actually did good for my first time
I’ve been waiting for the collab of *ALL TIME* Just got back from school
So I used to 🛼 like 17 years ago....you couldn't get them off my feet.....then life happened and babies came and laundry and dishes piled up......and then an idea came to me during a boring season in the midst of a pandemic.
I forgot what it felt like to be me, but then I strapped wheels on my feet and made a whole a*s steak dinner 🤣🤣🤣
I religiously watch both of y'all's channels and have been skating everyday....😬 Even if it's only 30 mins....but thanks to hardwood floors and long hallways 😘....
Then this Collab came up in my "recommended" and my heart turned into jelly beans, barings and cotton candy 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank You Ladies! YOU! ARE! MAKING! A! DIFFERENCE!
Ps....my skates have become my new "house shoes" and I still have them on hehehe 💓🎉💓🎉
I wish my roller rink had skates that nice
I've been skating since i was 2 ( i am 11 as of now) and i always used Quads, (traditionals) and I've summer i was with a friend and she told me, "hey, you know how to ice skate?" I said, "well, ya." She said, "then you know how to rollerblade!!" So I ended up using rollerblades from then on. I've been using rollerblades for about 4 years now. in April, I was skating in my normal rollerblades (i had been using my blades for about 5 years at this point) I got my very first pair of quads !!! I was so excited!!! It has been years since I ever even tried lacing up my new skates. (at the time) my friend Max had a pair of skates called "Code Reds" from a company called VNLA SKATES(vanilla skates). He ended up convincing me to get the same skates he had (the Code Reds) now to current day I still have the same skates. I've learned so much on them if your ever in Bellevue NE. Come down to Skate City. It's an amazing roller rink down in my area, where I grew/growing up.
Thank you so much for making skate videos for learner's and beginners.
Love,
Adrienne❤️🐢
Many thanks for this video, I loved it. Totally laughed and understand when you see people do the 'Jesus on the cross' maneuver and look totally awkward with there arms outstretched like a tight rope balancing walker. What they don't realise is how much space they suddenly take up doing that. Was really glad to see Dirty School of Skate and Planet Roller skate working together as I love both channels and find both of them great educational viewing. SKATE ON!!!
I just got my first pair of skates and was having a lot of trouble getting started. This video helped me SO MUCH thank you!!!! I’m almost crying I’m s o happy with how much this video did to help me! 💕
You always speak about techniques to improve, but never about how a flexible hip is key to properly skate. I started skating as an adult, and when i realized that my problem was a tight hip and trained by myself apart of the skates i improved really faster.
Sorry for my words, I love your channell.
How did you train your tight hip if you don't mind sharing
Born in '74 started skating in '76. And seen many rinks. Your rink looks great. Hope to make it to see it and skate it.
It's about time you two got together
I could watch you guys allllll day! Love it
I already subscribe to both of your channels this was way cool to see! Thanks ladies!!!!
Soooooo good to see you two teaming up!!!! Roller skates will rule the world!🙌🙌✌️✌️💜💜💜
When I was a beginner I was 3 years old!! (Seriously, my dad used to take me all the time) but I was always so horrible, but, now I’m doing kinda good and yeah.. just get lots of practice if you want to do any sport anything any hobby, just practise a lot and it will help, trust me.
im a figure skater, but i always though roller skating was so cool. you guys can skate anywhere!!
You're both incredibly amazing!!!!!
Thank you guys!! Day 5 and is not as easy as on youtube but every little progress I notice feels like another mountain peak conquered!!
Thank you for this video Dirty Debs and Indy!!!
✨✨✨✨Total Babe Queens! ✨✨✨✨
Back when I was 5 (woah!! it's been 9 years already? nice) i went skating for the first (and last) time
i stayed at the walls for most of the time, or moved along with my mother
it was really nice and it was good to be near the walls to get the hang of it
im hopefully getting roller skates this christmas and just remembering how young i was when i went roller skating and how i just took it REALLY slow
honestly being a 'beginner' is pretty cool, because it's trying something new and man that's cool ")
I’m only twelve, yet I can jump, jump off ramps thingies, go up and down ramps, do transition stops, do drag stops, do t-stops, skate backwards, skates forwards very quickly, go on the sides of bowls at skate parks, and most importantly fall without getting discouraged!
P.s I’m not trying to brag, instead trying to inspire!
That's wonderful! I'm so glad you have an active hobby you feel confident in at your age! Very good for health and self esteem! Keep rolling :)
Orion Cornelius
Thank you!
Still sounds like you're bragging
Thanks Deb for alesys being so positive!!
Good advice on the entry point. I always enter at that point during a speed skate. But I don't understand how you guys can skate with those high boots? Do they flex at all?
Great stuff and your rink looks awesome.
Going skating this week and I’m so anxious and I’m watching all kind of skating videos
