Took me a while to notice your reply, sorry. As a kid i just went for it on skates without any pads, now I'm old and scared of obstacles: kerbs, cracks, hills, rocks etc. I have outdoor wheels but have very little experience off the flat courts. Help! 😚
@@zonarium4320 There is a difference skating stance when skating outdoors. How you transfer your body weight is a bit different too. Stay tuned. Video coming soon.
M'am, Thank you for always reminding skaters to set realistic expectations, take things slow, and not to give up when it's tough. You are such a motivation & inspiration to myself & soooooooooo many skaters from all different experience levels.
Baby steps. I started less than two years ago on inlines. What I do is work on a couple of different skills per session - ones that are close to my ability level at the time. As I get decent at them, I add something new to the mix that is once again close to my ability level. As you skate more, you get better, too - better balance, muscle memorization and so on. It becomes second-nature the more you skate / practice. = )
All my mates are laughing at me for getting skates I’m 36 but I love learning to skate and getting fit , I love your videos they’re my go to for learning and reassurance x
Who gives a rats ass how old you are, I'm 28 and I've never stepped foot in skates until now. Be the fun adult, let em laugh, Are you having fun? Great!
Also, like... what helped me was understanding that the braking action comes from resistance of the skate wheels being forced forward and sideways at the same time. So if I just sit after getting low & booty bump, and my heels don't try to push out then I'm gonna keep rolling without resistance.
Hey Dirty! I got started skating last summer and bruised my tailbone pretty good. I discovered your channel this week as I get back out on my skates, and it's so helpful! Thank you so much for your great tutorials and your motivational spirit!
More outdoor videos please! 😁 I’m having to learn outside due to coronavirus. So far, I’ve only skated in my bathroom. Lol I’m lacing up and headed to my driveway now! Wish me luck! ❤️ from Alabama
I'm from AL as well, I used to skate a lot growing up but only in the house on some old wooden floors lol I am trying to get back into it and learn it over again
Thank you from all way in Australia! Used to ice skate as a child and as many other have found roller skating during the pandemic, so have i and I have found your videos so easy to follow and helpful! Just want to say thank you very much!
Here to say, thank you!! I’ve been skating for about 10 years and Your videos helped me progress much faster and I’ve been skating with confidence ever since! Re-watching for the nostalgia 😌 You’re stopping techniques eliminated my need to use my toe-stopper in most cases. 👍🏾
Ms. Debra(sp?)I have to tell you. You have inspired me to attempt skating again. I have been deathly afraid to attempt it because of physical issues. But I LOOOOVE it and I LOOOOVE how you’ve laid a great foundation for ANYONE to become an awesome skater. Keep doing great things. We see you! 👀😄
Do it, I am a born again skater, lol. All her videos are great, her personality is awesome and makes me feel comfortable learning again. This is my favorite way to stop, next is toe stopping ( scared, lol).
Such a great technique to learn! New skater here and this was an invaluable video for me. But I took Deborah's advice, practiced it lots over my past couple of sessions, gave myself permission to not be perfect, and it's really coming along - a great technique to have ready to go. Thank you DD for the video! (Also, "You have to booty pop just a little bit" is excellent life advice. Ha ha!)
Dirty Debbie! I’m brand new to skating (just hit the 3 week mark today!) and loving your videos. I’m finding in my local park that even the smallest incline makes me feel like I’m losing control. I’ve tried this stop technique but I’m not stopping! Is there a video demo’ing it on a gradual slope?! Thank you so much! 🛼❤️🛼
I bought my first pair of skates (Reidell R3). I've been having a blast for the past two weeks. I started out hugging the wall for an hour on my first skate and decided to start taking lessons at my local rink. I'm sort of addicted to your videos and am learning a ton. Also, I kind of have a crush on you. You're the cutest Dirty Deborah!
I love your videos, they're so helpful and you're a great teacher. Could you please make a video about how to skate and how to stop when you're going down a hill? I'd really appreciate it!
Dirty, thank you so much for these videos. I’m just getting back into skating and I’m being hard on myself but you remind me not to be :) love your energy!
Nice video. Like when you say sit I was a little lost, but then I am just learning to plow in a rink. What helped me was to take my skates off and do plows in just my socks. This helped me get a little technique especially with single leg plows.
what will you tell people on how to stop if they are going down a hill? I normally go backwards so I can use the toe stops to stop... but curious what you have to say. hope you didn't get sand in your bearings :)
I love these videos! I've had my new skates for a couple months, but I don't know where to start in terms of learning the basics of skating. Love that I can follow your videos now:)
Hi, I’m just binging your videos after buying skates and being too afraid to practice outside of my hallway. I feel much more confident after watching your videos. Do you have any recommendations for skating in rain? I live in the PNW, and it rains here most of the time. I know I’ll have to be careful with my gear and taking care of bearings etc. but just general skating tips that would perhaps differ in rain vs dry? Thank you so much for your videos!!
Hi!! I watched your video on how to stop inside the rink. So glad I came and watched this one. Thank you for your tutorials they are helping me tremendously!!
Hey Dirty Deb! Thanks again for a very instructional video. Like one of the commentators here, I'd love to see more outdoors skating techniques (how to deal with cracks in the pavement, curbs, miscellaneous obstacles, etc.) That'd be great! Also, thanks to you, I see my "snack area" with much more indulgence, now. It's pretty useful, actually. :-)
I'm still learning to plow stop. I can do it OK at low speed, but at high speed I can only reliably stop using a turn around toe stop. My right knee is getting unreliable as I get older (43) and whenever I do a plow stop I can feel it!
Thank you for this video! I have a question on paths that have a slight decline, is it still a good idea to use the plow stop to slow down/ stop? I tried it out at the park today and noticed I wasn’t quite slowing down - I suspect maybe I wasn’t sitting low enough and also “broke at the waist” 🤔️🤔️🤔️
I kind of taught myself to do this by accident lol I just like doing bubbles and I discovered they slow me down a lot so I started doing them to slow and stop But I appreciate this video anyway!
Hi Dirty, just started quad skating about 4 days ago! I come from an inline street skating background. Love how you explain the plow stop, going down stairs and across sand. Your techniques are similar to what I've already done on my inlines. I'm doing what I can to pick up quad techniques ASAP, because I've been unofficially tasked with teaching the neighbors' kids to quad skate. (That's why I bought a pair - hard to explain how to use toe stops without having them. ; ) So far, I love how it's so much easier to duck walk (do a front-back manual) and skate sideways! Okay, so I fall on my butt more on my quads b/c of the shorter front-back wheel base - I'm still sloppy on front-back balance b/c I've been lazy on my inlines - but I'm looking forward to my quads helping me fix this. Between them and my current inlines, they should do a decent job prepping me for my wish list skate: a short-framed trick inline. I like how the carving feels nice and smooth in my quads. Admittedly, crossovers in particular feel kinda weird. Definitely a different sensation. Glad to be adding the quad experience to the mix. = ) BTW, I'm wearing a pair of Sure-Grip Fames. I will admit, though, that I kinda wish I had gone w/ a pair w/ Velcro at the top, or a softer boot. They're comfy at the bottom; but honestly, the laces sometimes come undone (changed out the stock ones for waxed derby laces), and I'm getting a bit of cuff bite. My Rollerblade Macroblade 80ws actually have a softer boot, believe it or not. And, uh, are quads pretty heavy? Mine I think weigh more than 8 lbs. Is that normal? Anyway, thanks for the tips! Indy makes quad skating fun; Estro Jen makes quad skating fashionable; but you teach us a lot of the techniques we need to get the most out of our skates. Thanks! = D
It’s something about the way you explain the steps resonates with me... “booty pop” 🤩🤣 I totally get it ❤️👌🏾 can’t wait to get me wheels on to try this...
AAAAHHHHH NO SAND! You must fight the Sand Witch! 😅🐸. I hate to have to stop because of people who walk down the middle of the path, don’t you say something? I slow down & if they aren’t in lala earbud land, I’ll ask “can I pass” & it’s funny, they usually jump off the trail completely, & I’ll say,oh, you didn’t need to do that, Thanks! 👍😎. Dogs , different story, avoid avoid avoid!
Hello Deborah! Thank you for the thorough explanation. What wheels would you recommend for practicing the plow stops outdoors on concrete or asphalt? I am having trouble with traction and creating that "screeching" noise on my outdoor wheels. For reference I am skating on the Suregrip Broadwalk skates with the stock outdoor wheels.
You will not be able to make that screeching sound outdoors. Indoors yes! It comes from the interaction of the compound covering the flooring vs. your indoor wheels. If you want a harder feel with more response outdoors (note you will have less comfort) go for a harder wheel than the standard 78a outdoor wheels. Maybe go to a 85a. SureGrip Equalizer is a good choice.
I've been watching a bunch of different videos on ways to stop and have seen one called a hockey stop but I can't seem to find a video where you're teaching it. Is it something you would or would not recommend? Thanks 😊
Aghhh having such a hard time stopping as I skate I just got my skates and am practicing outside. Usually just crash into my car because of the speed. How do you stop whine going pretty fast? Plow and te stops don’t help and i usually skid during a t stop
I got a question about going down stairs, how do you go down stairs that are on a deck/ porch that have no back to them for you to jam your toe in to keep you from falling?
I want to learn to roller skate but I live where there are so many big hills and people. I afraid I might bump into people or even like ride on hill to fast to were I can't stop. Do u have advice?
Hello Deborah, I'm very new to this and while i feel quite in control indoors, what I found a bit scary outdoors is being on a street that has even the slightest inclination. I think I won't be able to stop with my feet and just look out for a tree or light post to help me stop. What kind of stop do you recommend for those cases? ps. thanks for your videos, the way you explain every detail makes everything seems possible!
Find a contained place to practice outdoors first. It is important that you feel safe skating and simultaneously get used to the sights, sounds and feel of outdoors. Please watch my outdoor skating playlist. I touch on this subject in depth.
Ok Dirty! I'm cruising down Ocean Blvd, east coast Myrtle Beach, SC and working on my plow stops. How cool is that? But I'm feeling the weight on my outside edge back wheel but no stop...I mean I'm gliding to a stop. I'm expecting like an immediate stop...nice but what am i Missing?
Myrtle Beach, SC sounds nice :) This style of stopping will have you gliding to a controlled stop. Much like when your press your break in a car. As you get better control, you can bring yourself to a more direct stop.
what about going downhill? i just started going down the slightest hill and its so scary and I just keep using the curb to stop because when I bend i gain speed
Focus on breathing and your posture. Most of the pain comes from being too tense. That usually comes from being anxious about skating in the first place. So make sure to watch a few of my other video where I go over posture.
Hello Dirty, I want outside yesterday for the first time with my skates and couldn't stop. When I practiced at home, it was easy, but in a slightly downhill road, it didn't work. Any advice? Thanks

I just got a pair too. I look ridiculous but I don't care!!
76 here and if people laugh I just think ABCDEF you.
Wow. I’ve been skating outdoors for a couple of days without knowing how to stop 😅 this definitely helped a lot
Did you achieve it? I just keep rolling...
😂pun intended
Also, like... what helped me was understanding that the braking action comes from resistance of the skate wheels being forced forward and sideways at the same time. So if I just sit after getting low & booty bump, and my heels don't try to push out then I'm gonna keep rolling without resistance.
"Snack area"! LOL

Focus on breathing and your posture. Most of the pain comes from being too tense. That usually comes from being anxious about skating in the first place. So make sure to watch a few of my other video where I go over posture.
@@Dirtydeborahharry okay. Thank you. I went looking and didn't see them. Ill look again.
Does this technique work even when going fast?
Hello Dirty, I want outside yesterday for the first time with my skates and couldn't stop. When I practiced at home, it was easy, but in a slightly downhill road, it didn't work. Any advice? Thanks
Watch my downhill videos and all of my outdoors videos. I address this very thing.
@@Dirtydeborahharry Thanks, I am working on it.
