The one dislike is the moss in the cracks that got runover.
😂😂😂
hahahahahhaha! I have to get a dislike; it validates all the likes :)
Those are grass though😅
Those effortless spins give me life
Awww thank you!
And could we just emphasise, especially for newer skaters: pads and helmet! *When* (not if) people fall, protective gear can be the difference between standing right up, or leaving a blood trail and going to hospital. (Experienced skaters know their own skills and risk level, do what you want. But newbies *are* *going* *to* *fall* *over*)
Sure:) I love protective gear. I wear it at the skate park.
Anybody know where I can get some protective gear for fat people? I bought the largest I could find on Amazon and it fits me snugly but my BF is fat and muscular so it was a no 😢
@@BP-yg4lr same I skated inside until my helmet came still haven't fallen and its day 5 but I know it's coming and when it does I'm ready haha
@@creshiell moxi. Its preorder right now but they have the Thick set that is bigger than the l/xl
creshiell fellow fat skater here. What works for me is getting pads with straps and just buying 1” black elastic and extending them myself :)
You have a type of charisma that's very attractive
Thank you very much :)
Right?! I can’t get enough of her. I wish she lived near me so I could learn from her in person 😩
Hi indian hehe 😏😂
Mr.dirty is a lucky man 🤣
Agreed
When I saw your videos I wanted to go skating so my parents bought skates for me and my mom bought a pair too. It’s so much fun!!!!! 😁⛸🛹
Awwww yeah! So glad you can skate together :)
HAMBURGER 2469 best parents ever
My mom got Lollys after I started skating too (on my own pair of Lollys) :) have fun with your mom!!! Skate moms are the best!!
Ohh i wanna skate with my kids too when i have sum
So I discovered these videos along with planet roller skate about a year ago and was immediately swayed to buy some skates and skate outdoors. I thought since I skated as a kid in a rink it wouldn’t take me very long!! Boy was I wrong but these videos have helped me with my progress over this past year and this one is so educational! I unfortunately learned the tough way but this video is going to save someone from eating a lot of asphalt! Also keep trying!!! How far I’ve came in a year is amazing and surprises me constantly 💖
Congratulations! I am so happy to hear of your progress. Keep it up!
Girl, same!
hows your progress going...
Same!!! Busted my ass on my first attempt and went back home to wait for my pads
It's called, being unpretentious and it's THE most attractive quality a human can have. DD's got it in spades! 😍
Claire ... thank you so much for this comment. I appreciate it immensely.
I'm just glad you are not a pole dance instructor, cause I know I would be trying out everything you teach.
Hilarious !!! 🤩
LOL!!!!
There’s a girl on insta who pole dances and roller skates at the same time 😍 it’s the most impressive thing you would ever witness.
@@rollthedice5682 omg please send link i wana seee
This is perfect timing. With everything going on I’m taking advantage of having more free time and really dedicating that extra time to learn how to skate properly.
can you do outdoor rollerskating-backwards skating safety?💜
As long as there aren't TOO many cracks when starting out. I'm actually teaching my 16 year old right now outdoors. Mainly in the street, so she's getting really good at going straight, but it's time to start working on her turning. She would get to a turn at the rink before they all shut down, of course, and revert back to bubbles/scissors and lose pretty much all of her momentum. Trying to get her to lean into the turns and pick her feet up.
We've got a lead on a MUCH smoother surface, so once it stops snowing here, we plan on heading up to the local elementary school parking lot. They have, what they call, a "loop". Basically it's an area for dropping off the kids that has a little, grassy, "island" in the center that the buses and cars circle around so it's the perfect area to simulate a rink situation. :)
Absolutely.
Got my moxi skates yesterday, but I’ve been watching you and planetrollerskate for a month! I mastered bubbles yesterday and had my husband laughing when I said, “down with the butt up with the gut.” You are such an amazing teacher and everything is explained so concisely.
Where did you get your skates I have my old ones from about 40 years ago LOL I need new ones
Teresa Smith c7s, moxi, chaya, impala skates are in rn
"windy sound effects for that REAL outdoor feel " LOL.. I love your sense of humor and the way you teach
“Put your weight on your back foot”
Me: *slips and falls on her back
Put weight on back foot NOT rock your body weight to the back of your heel.
Just did my first trail skate. 😍 Totally used all of this advice. I did 7 miles. This was my first long distance skate. I was definitely bringing up the rear 😂
Some people just positively radiate positivity, and you are one of them! You're sunshine incarnate, I swear 😍
I went skating on a walking trail ,it was nicely paved, but it went up and downhill. I could not figure out how to stop downhill, I wore my stopper down on my skates. The only way i could figure out how to stop, was to go for the grass, fell down three times, not good for a 57 year old. lol. So how do i stop when Im outside?
She has a video for that ua-cam.com/video/EC9N2BhldII/v-deo.html I am also an older skater and that is one thing that I never learned in my youth. HOW TO STOP!
@@aquaopa1 thanks kizzy
Planet roller skate has a few videos that talk about hill bombing/skating downhill. I’ve tested it on my driveway (small scale) and on an underground car park. I went for the version where you go backward and you use a staggered stance using your toestop of the skate that’s the furthest downhill to control your rate of descent. I found it really easy but haven’t gotten the confidence up yet to go forward downhill yet!
I will revisit this topic for sure. Stay tuned.
Beginner skater here!
I just got my skates yesterday and I’m watching this video as I sweat my brains out in the hot sun w/ them on rn. 😂 This is so awesome and scary!
This video was super helpful! I've been intimidated by the grassy gaps in trails but I think I'll give it another go now that I see you can get over them no problem :)
Glad it was helpful!
Aloha from maui!!! I used to skate as a kid ,I am 61 now and your videos got me back out there!! Your videos and moxie girl videos are awsum for beginners. Thank you
That is awesome! Do it!!!
This is great! Can you make a video on how to strengthen your weak leg? I feel so unstable on my none dominant leg.
Great suggestion!
I also need this
Me too!
My right calf actually hurts when I skate cause my right leg working so hard to compensate for my non dominant left
Yes please
Thank you for this! Our town doesn't have a rink nearby, so outdoors is our only choice. I never knew about the split stance--what a great option. I haven't skated in about 40 years and I appreciate the advice to practice 10 minutes a day. I got all the safety gear, too, b/c I don't want to chance any broken bones if I can help it. I'm sure I look a sight, but who cares--I'm happy!
This is so helpful omgg I've been skating for 4 days out side (I'm counting the days and video taping my self and going back and reviewing what I'm doing right/wrong) and I keep falling *almost* every time I hit a crack or some grass and this makes so much sense I can't wait to get back out there!!!
My husband laughs at me when I bring a broom but I don’t care haha!! I’d rather be able to skate more confidently than be hung up on all the rocks! Going to check out your wheel video right now, sounds like exactly what I was looking for!
So true!
My wheels literally come in a couple of minutes bruh I can’t wait
How was it?
As always, SO good! And I have to say I felt so seen when you said skating outdoors is scary! 😆 For awhile I thought something was wrong with me for being nervous rolling around my neighborhood. But learning from your previous outdoor skating video, I focused more on the staggered stance and it changed my game! So thank you!
Love that!
I agree with this! I’m on day 17 of my daily skate challenge and i haven’t skated on my street yet because I’m scared! But after this video maybe today I’ll venture onto my street for the first time!
You have perfectly addressed everyone of my skating outdoor fears!
It is so funny you mentioned bringing a broom outside because about two months before both covid and this video THATS EXACTLY WHAT I DID!!
I’ve been roller skating since the sixties but Covid has forced me outdoors. I first bought a cheap pair of skates and I couldn’t turn on them. I’m hoping that my new skates are going to be better. I’ve had to learn a lot about the mechanics of skates, especially cushions/bushings. The first pair I bought had zero shock absorbency and it actually messed with my knees. I’m thankful for these videos!
This lady is great she must be a skating Coach! Plus I love how she shows you how she cleans off the surface in the beginning lol ! I am a figure skater and have pic skates and been trying to pic skate! My roommate bought some roller skates so we can skate together & she doesn’t know how to skate at all, so this video is awesome because pic skating is very different from rolling skating! Thank you very much for your help!
you have the cool aunt vibes and it makes me so happy
I’m here after watching the planet roller skate video! I would love more outdoor skating videos!!
More to come!
How can i like this 1000000 time... Did you know that this video will help some one 2yrs later. Thnks Debby. Love from Kenya
I just got a pair a few days ago and I am way to confident... I kept repeating in my head be fearless girl... In my mind I thought I looked like you 😌 but in reality my legs were shaking no balance watsoever and my husband said i was all the way leaning forward im surprised i didnt eat it lmaooo 🤣
Anywhozles thank you I love your skate tutorials 👏🏾 By 2022 I should be a pro skater & by then I can drive up to huntington beach to skate at your rink!!! In the meantime its day 3 i got my knee pads on, your videos on repeat & im ready to get back out there wish me luck 🤞🏾😆
Exactly what happened to me lol in my mind I was skating like when I was 12 but just got my skates today and had a hard time lol but I am determined!!! 😂 lol
so happy and thankful for these videos!! got a pair of skates after wanting some for the last 11 years and i’ve been nervous to use them for the first time since i’ve never skated, but i got pads and a helmet and i’m just gonna go for it!
I love you... I haven't skated in 40 yrs. Yes I'm 62 and use to compete in the 70s and 80s. I'm trying to start skating all over again your tutorials are marvellous.
I’m 21 and never skated before in my life. I just took it up 5 days ago and I’m obsessed with the feeling but still learning balancing/speed/turning everything lol. My dad and I go out to the empty movie parking lot near my house since nobody is there everyday and it’s so much fun! I hope learning on the rough parking lot will make skating on smoother surfaces easier when I get there lol
Awww I am so happy you get to skate with your dad!!!
I skate on rollerblades but I learn so much from Dirty Deb as her teaching method is clear and simple. Wish she was an inlineskate instructor. She's the best.
Debbie, you are the best Skating coach and trainer in the world. Very thorough and practical, no-nonsense approach.
Love this!! I went skating outdoors yesterday and was struggling so hard. Time to practice these moves today! :)
So I did that outside my house. It’s very rough and in my mind I was internalizing my Dirty Deborah 🥰 and i though I looked cool but the reality was that I looked like a penguin 🐧🥴 my daughter was laughing soooo hard LOL
I am happy you and your daughter got to have laughs together. Realistically that IS what it IS all about :)
Wow! I’ve watched countless skating videos over the last week preparing for the arrival of my first pair of quad skates and you are by far, the best instructor. None of the outdoor skating videos I watched ever went over different foot positions or skating techniques based on the terrain. Or how you might combine those different techniques. Most tell you to go around debris. It’s so much more clear to me now, where I need to start in my outdoor skating. I like the idea of picking a convenient and maybe quiet location devoid of a lot of traffic, to practice until more confident in your skills. You are ridiculously funny too. I was cracking up through this video. 🤣
I ordered the sure grip boardwalk in tan with red wheels. They arrive tomorrow! They are my bday gift to myself! I’m super stoked!
It’s my 4 day of skating and I learned how to skate backwards and only fell three times 😝 pretty proud of myself. I’ve been skating on the basketball court for about 2-3 hours a day
That is great!!!!
I went to your rink about 20 years ago when I was in elementary school for a birthday party . I was so terrible but I had so much fun, I ordered some skates after watching some of indys vids and came across your video , glad there are great instructors from Southern California I can watch and learn from during this pandemic .
Welcome back! You are going to have so much fun.
I’m 35 and just started back skating last year. I started skating outside this March due to rink closures and you just Confirmed that I’m skating properly outside! I use the staggered stance/ toe up to get over debris and the neighborhood kids are in Awe that I don’t kill myself Lol. Thank You!
Oh this is awesome. You are going to be sooooo good when the rink opens back up. Outdoor skating develops soooo many more skating skills.
Dirty School of Skate I’m in Indiana and the rinks have been open about a month, I got to go on Saturday and You Are Right! I have improved Immensely! Now I’m moving on to more of your vids and making sure I practice Everyday! Thank you so much for teaching the mechanics, just doing something and actually knowing what you’re doing is a world of difference!
This is honestly so helpful!! I just started skating and I can only do it outside rn bc all the rinks are closed, and that in-line tip makes sooo much sense, I can’t wait to try it out. Thank you!!
I can’t wait to get my skates but in the mean time I’m watching your awesome videos to get me ready for my first time in a super loooong time skate day😊. Ty! 👍🏽👍🏽
Hi. I JUST took our broom with me to the basketball court a week ago; so you can imagine my face when I saw your video come up on my feed. Lol
I'm hoping to visit Fountain Valley Skate Center when we can travel again. You made my day when you took a picture with me!
Awwwww yeah!!! See you at the rink :)
I love skating outdoors and I’m thinking all the obstacles and uneven surfaces are a big help developing my balance and agility. I think anyway...?
YEP!
I love your videos. I was a great skater when I was young. I'm 50 and just bought a pair. Hoping it's going to all come back. This helped, thank you!
You literally are the most amazing woman on UA-cam!!! Just bought my skates and am glued to your tutorials!! Thanks for all the energy 👏🎉🔥💥
I’ve been binge watching your videos! I can’t wait to get my skates and hopefully visit your Rink when the stay at home order lifts! Thanks for your awesome videos!!! 💖
I'm from Melbourne, Australia, taking up skating again. You're soo ace! Thanks for everything you post and NEVER STOP! Stay safe, love you to bits! 😘
Awesome! Thank you!
I’ve had my 7year old daughter watching her and my sugar plum learn to skate in 1week she’s doing exactly what she’s demonstrating we’ve been skating outside for 3weeks love her ❤️🥰
She saying that’s her skate teacher 👩🏫
That is awesome!
Awwwww I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aww! Just like 7 year old! He always askes to watch DDH! Plus, he’s improved so much in the last few weeks. Love thinking of this new generation of skaters!
This video was a god send. I ordered my skates today and I cant wait to start practicing :)
Thank you so much! I have only been skating for a couple weeks and these tutorials have really helped me. I started on a basketball court and now I am street skating, even a bit downhill!
My downhill video comes out today!!!!
Perfect! I was just thinking about this. Your right, I am terrified of tripping over pebbles. Thank you so much for helping me find a way to get skating outside again👍💖😘
You are so welcome!
Hi Debbie! Thank you SO MUCH for all your awesome videos. I’m just getting started skating and you are an incredible instructor. I wish I could learn from you in person! But these videos are hugely helpful! You’re the only instructor I watch :) The best!!
I got my skates 2 months ago and have only worn them in the house because I’m scared of falling in the parking lot outside 😂 This video has given me the confidence I needed ~ tomorrow is the day! Hopefully I don’t bust my butt 🍑❣️😂 Thank you!!
Thanks for the in-line tip! I was about to switch to inclines just for the crack issue. I will try your trick first. Keep them coming you are super helpful 💗
Glad it was helpful!
I don’t have roller skates but I want roller skate again because when I was younger It was so fun.
Greeting from the enchanted Island of Puerto Rico. Happy new year 2022.
Happy new year!
I'm so lucky my town has so many fantastic outdoor skating locations we have an old railway line that has been turned into a bike path with super smooth asphalt that runs all the way from one end of the town to the other and we also have some great car parks at the sports complex that are really nicely concreted which is good because our roads and footpaths can be quite rough
Are you talking about the Beltline?
What city? I'm looking for a good bike path.
In Detroit?
Absolutely true!! Good pointers!!
Great video! I'm an "older" skater and my biggest issue has been getting over sidewalk cracks. This really helped!
Waiting for my pads to start outside. Nervous about eating concrete, not gonna lie, but y’all reinforce falling safely and that is comforting. Much love from the Bay Area
I love that you and Planet Rollerskate are pals 👯♀️💞
I needed this. I really want to be able to enjoy skating more often by skating outdoors but I needed some confidence. Thank you! 💕😊
Hi! Love your instructional videos! I'm fabulously 50 this year!!! 👏🤩 For some reason I have this desire to want to skate outdoors. Am I too old to be doing this? I skated at 13 and wasn't good then. I had my heart set on trying out for Roller Derby in my 30's, however, I allowed myself to be talked out of it. ☹ I'm excited and nervous. I don't even know what type of skates and wheels to get if I do decide to do this. I'm open to any advice! Love and Blessings to all! 💖🤘🤗
You can do it! I am starting up a patreon very soon and there may be a program suited for you. Stay tuned.
Thank you for this video! I had watched another one of your videos about skating outdoors but feel this one was much more helpful in seeing how you position your feet and how your back leg knee supports the front when going over cracks/debris. I've been skating outdoors at a school where the pavement is pretty smooth, so i'll have really practice this the coming week.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! I just got my skates 3 days ago and I was having a really hard time skating on the side walk because of all the cracks on the ground. Tried putting my weight on my back foot and I was able to go right over the bumps!
Have you ever heard of REXING, San Diego, Ca Early 60's ? Boy and girl both skating backwards as a couple1 It's a trip!!
Yep. I started skating in the early 70's. My grandmother was a rexing champ!
So great!!! Thank you!! I went around my small town looking for places to skate and found a huge public place but it has a lot of these grass lines so this was REALLY helpful to me! Woohoo
This is visually a bit of a throwback to the early videos you did on the Suregrip channel!
I've been working on my split stance and been having fun going over larger bumps and cracks but I think my weight is still mostly in my front foot. I tried to move the weight to the back and it doesn't feel as stable. I'm about 50/50 weight distribution so I can still get over pretty big cracks but I can't lift my front trucks. Working on it :)
That is so funny, things you do skating outside automatically..the inline foot thing just blew my mind. My big little and I skated in our neighborhood yesterday and I do these things!!!! I so wish when I was in Long Beach I had the chance to come and visit your rink!!!!
omg i love you dirty deborah harry. thank you for helping us beginners!!!
I LOVE BEGINNERS! You are the health and wealth of our sport. You will learn and teach others. You are our future and lifeblood and keep me happy when I see you giving it your all!
I love this woman so much omg
WHAT brand are those sunglasses? I want some!!! so cuuuuuuuute!!!
I was wondering the same thing lol love them!
My skates finally came in today and I got to spend a little time on them during my lunch break! Thank you
Good luck!!
Omg this video was soooo what I needed. With you I just started skating again. I was super insecure about skating outside since the rinks are closed. ThaaaaaaankU for the tips... You're amazing as always!
You got this! The more you skate outside the better you will get inside.
@@Dirtydeborahharry that's a fantastic way to look @ iit😃😃😃!!! we miss our growth while we're growing & then Boom!!! Thanku so much U've re-taught me to skate, I taught my G-boogers & now it's a whole family thing!💗💗💗💗
Thanknyou for your very informative and relaxed way of teaching.
Literally ran here before I go outside and try out my new skates! 😂😍
I just bought roller skates because skating is fun and I have been doing it since I was very young. i used to live near a roller rink but we moved so I got some skates to roller skate outside.
I just bought an outdoor pair of skates (Rock GT50 with boardwalk wheels) and I'm really excited. First day out today and I was nervous. I have a few trails and side roads that are pretty smooth though so it was incredibly fun to actually go straight for more than a few seconds before having to turn the same direction over and over. Some of your tips were very helpful. It came super naturally. So if anyone out there is comfortable in the rink and can skate on 1 foot, you should be just fine outside with the proper setup. I found skating in the roads easier. I do miss the comfort of doing tricks while rink skating however. I pulled a few today, but I need a helmet and some pads before I do more. Just need to find where to buy some good ones
You will be a much better indoors when you conquer the outdoors!
Oh jeez...WIND!!!!! Took my daughter to the tennis courts a week or so ago. Checked the weather. "Gusts of up to 27 MPH possible". Okay, no big deal. Me, stupidly thinking, "Maybe if we can get the right angle, it'll help us a little!" Got out there. Was skating normally...and almost fell several times.
Going fast around the courts, a gust would come up and COMPLETELY stop us! Going the other way, of course, we'd gain even more speed. It was...interesting.
Got home, listened to the news. 27 MPH my ass! Found out those gusts actually got up to 55 MPH!!! No wonder we'd occasionally come to a dead stop! It was fun, but we were a little shaky when those gusts hit and we were going the "wrong" way. LOL Actually hoping to do it again....if it ever decides to stop snowing here. 3 days, off and on, been too wet to get outside. :( Trying to clean out the dining room even more, but it's still such a tiny area...of course I much prefer being free outdoors. :)
MystiqueRisingSun if there are any undercover car parks in your area you could try one of those during a time with low traffic. Good luck:)
Im trying to get on some skates to get back in shape and lose some weight! I have neglected my yoga practice a while but am normally very good with balance. Im shorter with very thick thighs so the crossover position is not natural to me, when i go to do it I immmediately panic because it feels like i dont have control and im going to fall, or hurt my ankles, so I have some questions for you:
Are there any modifications you might suggest?
How can I get more comfortable with the crossover?
Thank you
Okay first up ... can you balance on one foot? That is key. Pick the foot you can balance on and really work on holding your knee pressed over your baby toe. Now lean into it. As soon as you think you may fall, cross over. Do this off skates every day and then watch my crossover videos and try it on skates.
@@Dirtydeborahharry OMG DIRTY DEB ANSWERED ME?!?!
Great video! I can’t wait to try that move to help go over rough areas. Game changer for sure! ❤️❤️🙌🏽
You make it look easy and I love that your older like me am.jist trying to get back into it
Lawd help me. I wore the wrong socks today and my feet are paying the price. My Moxi 🌈 gliders are as stiff as 2 x 4s and have zero support inside. I am definitely going to have to invest in some softer, more pliable skates for people with flat feet! I still suck but I've only been out twice and haven't fallen...yet. There is no way on this earth that I'm going to a rink looking this crazy. All I want is to be able to hop off a curb and go down a skate ramp one time in my life. Is that too much to ask!!?? LoL
I’ve been using my older sisters massive roller skates and I’ve managed to do so much such as lift my right foot upwards and roll forward aimlessly, and I wish I can do this outside but I’m wearing Chicago skates and they are very bad for outdoors and extreme like skating so oh well. Turns out learning things inside is a lot more better then outside.
Wow...thank you...this video was amazing.
Glad you liked it!
The best school for rollerskating!!!! I'm 50 years old and an absolute beginner!!! I would love to learn in your skating center, but I'm from Germany Berlin. We don't have any skating Center around. How sad is that????
It is sad because it was not always that way. There used to be a lot more rinks here in the states too. We just have to keep rolling where ever we can. Welcome to the world of skating. We are happy to have you.
@@Dirtydeborahharry
I know everyone thinks and writes that, but I also want to say again how much you have helped me with your videos to overcome fears and to let NOBODY keep me from achieving my dream. You are such an amazing personality !!! How about a trip to Germany..Berlin?!?!?!?!?! ??? I will practice!!! upupupupupupup !!! :-) If we all share our fun in roller skating, then we will definitely have a future!
keep on rolling!
Your videos are so helpful! I just bought my first pair of skates in maybe 20 years.
Great to hear!
Can We Be Honest Here?
You Make Skating Rock!! ❤️
F*ck YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm Day 2 on skating outdoors.. and yeah, it can be pretty rough out there. I have to practice putting my feet in a line. You're hilarious but I'm learning so much from you!!
It is rough out there! Skating outdoors is no easy feat. Keep watching and learning my skater friend.
thank you! you are so kind,compassionate , HELPFUL
and inclusive
Thank you so much!
Glad I'm not the only one carrying a broom with me when I go skating outside 🤣
This video is perfect timing! Those outdoor cracks get me every time 😂
I would love to have you as a teacher. Love the way you explain and you seem passionate about skating =)
Maybe one day!
Great videos! Thanks! I want to skate confidently outdoors and you are inspiring me to get to it!
