She cracks me up and she’s literally not even trying to be funny hahahahaha every time I skate I have a little inner Dirty Deborah voice that tells me what I need to hear “Tighten that snack area!” Lol
@@Dirtydeborahharry would you recommend hard wrist guards or fingerless gloves for the beginner 7 yr old quad roller skater. We have gloves for his bicycle and I ordered a tri-pack online, but when they got here they were TOO SMALL!!
I don't have two cones, but I can do an old man and a beer bottle 😂 Also loving your tutorials and your humor definitely makes learning how to roller skate much more fun! Thank you for sharing, and I can't wait to watch more ❤
Just wanted to say thank you! I speed skated in my teens...but I’m turning 50 this year and I guess my midlife crisis is wanting to skate again. Got my skates with outdoor wheels and I’m loving it. Your videos have been a godsend since it’s so different from how I skated when I was a teen, and having a partial knee replacement. Just wanted to say thank you and if you’re ever in Tampa Florida I’d love to skate a trail with you 😍
Edges and turns are the backbone of all skating genres, you can never practice them too much. I was doing figure eights on the ice today, the second time back on the ice since I broke my shoulder June 8. I'll be doing them on my PIC skates too since ice time is so much more costly now than before COVID 19 shook us all up. Thank you for the reinforcement and great video content!
I almost did a figure 8 on my first attempt skating outside! I fell in love with skating in January when a friend invited me to the roller rink. I knew I wanted my own skates. Before they even arrived in the mail I watched a bunch of your videos! I practiced falling in front of my kids and they thought it was hilarious. I started doing squats. I adjusted my skates and finally went out to a basketball court. The prep work really paid off! I was so much more comfortable having some goals in mind. Being able to refer back to things you taught (repeating the ‘up & down’ really helped me when I got nervous!) I could feel the edges and started being able to use them. I was able to turn to the right nicely, but the left was difficult. My right leg would turn left but not my left. I kept trying but nothing worked and that’s when I realized my action nut needed to be loosened!! I’m so glad I found your videos! I’m in the Inland Empire so as soon as the Fountain Valley Skating Center is re-opened I plan on making a trip over!
Thank you so much for breaking this down. I skated every now and then when I take my son to a rink for a birthday party. Now I know what my body should be doing. I cancelled my gym membership and plan to make this a more pleasurable workout. You’re gorgeous and appreciate the time and effort you take in sharing your knowledge. Much love from Dallas, TX. 💓💓💓
I was just feeling like my skating practice was getting repetitive & I needed something new to push myself... thanks for the video!! Perfect!! I am still a beginner but loving seeing myself get better every week thanks to Deborah !!
You are freakin’ AWESOME!!! 🤩 KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO! We need you more than ever now, especially with the pandemic.. and I LOVEE THE INTRO W/ the pink fairy and your stellar movesss 😍
I love you Debby you have made skating fun for me I started out as kindergarten beginner and now look at me I am a high school figure skater without you I would not have the success I do now.❤️
Roller Derby has always been my dream. Accidentally found your channel and know I feel more confident to try again and use my skates (the problem is the really rough, uneven pavement in the uphill streets around my area, but that should not be a problem any longer)
The closest rollerskating rink in my area won't allow those underneath 15 in without a parent being there,so until I'm 15 in January I'm gonna need to skate outside. This video really helped a lot thank you :)
Okay, okay, you twisted my arm. 44 years on skates, too many teachers, tutors and peers to mention, and you are my absolute favorite rolling nom nom ever ever EVER. Taking your advice and applying it, even though I "already know what I'm doing" is a fantastic practice tool. I love skating. I accidentally killed about 20 miles this morning (I'll pay for it, I know) and every time I found a wide space on the route, I did my figure 8s. Thank you, Dirty. The two beams of light shooting out of your magical section certainly show the way, but I still prefer to bring up the rear. Ba da boom, ladies first. .\m/ >"< \m/.
My spouse always asks me what Dirty is saying now when he finds me chuckling to myself as I am watching my phone. I love that you are squatating on the parking lot and will forever think of my beams of light leading my way. Hahahahahahahaaa!
hey Dirty Deborah, I just have to say that I bought a pair of skates after not skating since I was a kid (I'm almost 25 now) and I'm just starting to get back into the groove. I've been watching all of the videos about drills and outdoor tips and I love your personality and how much you inspire me. Thank you for continuing to inspire skaters of all ages, shapes, and sizes 💖
I’m getting better !!! Yasss Queen ... gonna do these till I drop ... I was doing them a little wrong ... the more videos I watch the more certain things stay in my head... having so much fun !
I was so stoked to see this video pop up!! I was a collegiate athlete, so when I see drills I get stoked. this skill building stuff is so so key to nail in these controlled situations so when it comes time to get out there and go nuts, the abilities are all there and its just fun!!! would love love love more drills from the Dirty School of Skate Lesson Plan!
thank you for these outdoor videos Deb, I've moved to a place where there's no rink near me and I want to get back into skating...I feel so lame being older and out of shape I need to get this done
Thank you for alllll of the skating videos!! You’re so inspirational! Can I just take your classes for roller skating?! Thank you again for all the videos!🤍✨
Cool ! My next mission is to find large orange cones.......Love the drills. Please keep them coming !!!! You make me laugh. Thats nice after a stressful day !!!
Thank you dirty so much for this video because this is helping me out so much with the outdoor roller skating that I am doing because there is a roller rink at my work where I go but my job is seasonal doing odd jobs here and there running couple of game stands and the floor is ruined because a nasty flood came through there and it was underwater and now I'm looking for different roller rinks to go for now till the roller rink at my job gets fixed.
I just got my skates, and you’ve helped me so much. Like literally thank you💗💗 you’ve been such a help to me and you’re a blessing! Love from Australia🥰
love the video thank you for your advice the young lady at wicked skate shop was so helpful god bless will be get my new skates in about 6 to 8 weeks just trying to make up my mind befor ordering very hard to choose from please stay safe.
I have not yet learned to turn (much less draw eights) but I continue and will keep trying. Thanks for all your tutorials. I love them. Greetings from Uruguay!
Thank you to show us how to skate, because of you I can make some movements. I’m 43 years old and never skate before! I fall many times but the last time i hurt my knees, not broken but it hurts a lot... Im afraid I can’t training everyday anymore. 😣 By the way, I love your videos!!! ❤️
I have 2 questions. 1- How do I engage my core/ snack area. 2- If I am having difficulty with a specific trick, how can I send you a video for feedback, instagram? You are an amazing teacher, and have an amazing personality. Thank you from newbie doing the 365 day challenge.
This reminded me of the 9-10 yo me wearing those terrible adjustable plastic roller skates (which you need to strap over your trainers) and making figure 8s around the dining table and the sofa at my granny's summer house 😆 I totally loved doing that 😁
@@Dirtydeborahharry well, not in that house - it doesn't exist anymore 😁 but still like to practice the 8s around different objects in the park (even one certain stray dog! 😆)
Hi Deborah! I really love your videos, you actually really encouraged me to get my own pair of skates! (I haven’t actually gotten them yet, still saving up for the ones I want tho 😁)
Yes 🙌👐 figure 8's I have just about got the forward crossover going anticlockwise (I think) clockwise not so good ..yes I have a week leg 🙈🙊 😆..working on it..more practise and scissors for me lool
At 5:45 when you said don't have the outside foot out front I felt called out because that's what I do! Why is it bad to have the outside foot be the one that's more out front? It makes it easier for me to balance but if it's bad I'll try to unlearn it! Ty
If you cross the outside foot in front of the inside foot while turning, you will not be skating your edges and you can trip yourself. I have an indoor version of this video that goes into greater detail. It is in my turning and spinning (I think) playlist. It is called ... Skating Forward - Edges. LOL! Something like that! Anyway check it out. It will help you be a much better skater in the long run. p.s. ain't nothin' bad about your skating. I am just here to help you be a better YOU!
@@Dirtydeborahharry thank u for the help! I'll check out the video :) I appreciate how much information you're putting out there! You've been helping me and a bunch of other new and old roller skaters alike! Ty
5:45 "don't do this" ... That's exactly what I'm doing 😟 why does my other foot go in front? Plus when I lean to my outside edge, my inner wheels come off the ground 😬 am I leaning too much?
For the wheels coming off the ground: maybe your trucks are way too tight. If you grab your front wheels, can you move them? One up, the other down? How about the back wheels? This can be changed by the nut in the middle :)
@@ruth.devries I did this today. I loosened them up even more and this did help. But I had to practice posture on carpet first. And now I know which is my dominant leg 😅 now I just have to keep practicing. Thank you so much!
Hahaha... at first I thought you set up all of those cones just for this video. I was thinking “man she is dedicated!”. Thanks for another great video 🙂. You are doing God’s work because if it were not for you I would have experienced some very unfortunate situations with my “return” to roller skating.
She cracks me up and she’s literally not even trying to be funny hahahahaha every time I skate I have a little inner Dirty Deborah voice that tells me what I need to hear “Tighten that snack area!” Lol
Glad to be the voice in your head :)
I hear her voice too!...LOL
Me too! Hahaha and down with the butt up with the gut. 🤣🤣
I love this women!!
Awwwwww thank you! LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dirty is a whole vibe 😍
awwww thank you!
Wait til you meet her. You should come to fountain valley

Love your videos and your vibe!!!!

bahahha love that 🤣
I was just feeling like my skating practice was getting repetitive & I needed something new to push myself... thanks for the video!! Perfect!! I am still a beginner but loving seeing myself get better every week thanks to Deborah !!
Man, I am so glad you made this. I cannot figure out how to swing myself around with my outside edges yet.
You can do it!
You are freakin’ AWESOME!!! 🤩 KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO! We need you more than ever now, especially with the pandemic.. and I LOVEE THE INTRO W/ the pink fairy and your stellar movesss 😍

I keep coming back to this video! It is so hard to execute but I'm trying
Keep practicing. Listen to music and get lost in it. All of a sudden, it will all fall into place.
You skate with alot of power "DD" . It is a joy to watch . I hope you continue to bring it! I Love 💘 all your videos.
I learn so much from watching your videos. Please keep them coming. Thanks!
You got it!
The closest rollerskating rink in my area won't allow those underneath 15 in without a parent being there,so until I'm 15 in January I'm gonna need to skate outside. This video really helped a lot thank you :)

I don't know what's wrong with me. I always put the wrong foot in the front when I'm turning 😡
OMG, I always told my girls I coached that you go where you headlights are pointed and keep them over your knees. I love this woman.

love your videos!
Can you do a video on how you transitioned at 8:40?
I don't know but you crack me the fluck up!
I love all your videos! Game changing. Can you do a crazy legs tutorial? I think I’ll only get crazy legs if you teach it.
Lol! You’re such a rebel, Dirty Deb!
Practicing this today!! ❤️
I just love you!
You’re so freaking rad ✊🏼
So there is a use for those small human beings that find their way into the skate park. 🤔
Modern problems require modern solutions.
hahahahhaha! YES!
Good advice.

Could you do an everyday drill set?
YES!!!!!
5:44 "Don't do this" is me every time and it's so frustrating. Hopefully my magical beams will guide me the right way soon.
Hahaha... at first I thought you set up all of those cones just for this video. I was thinking “man she is dedicated!”. Thanks for another great video 🙂. You are doing God’s work because if it were not for you I would have experienced some very unfortunate situations with my “return” to roller skating.
My following leg often overtakes the leading leg (like you demonstrated not to do) into the turn. What i'm doing wrong?
Thanks! I will start drilling these like... TODAY!
Do you guys have any updates on when you guys are opening again? I’m eager to go to a skating center!
With the way things are here in California, I realistically think we won't open this year.
Ok, thank you for responding and I hope that you are safe in this pandemic!
