the most crystal clear coaching ever. finally i can do transition after 2 hours non-stop practising, follow exactly step-by-step, the weight shifting, the head, the shoulder, the feet, as long as i follow everything, i'm good. keep it going & thank you..
Darling Yatt nice profile pic
@@Britni101 Thanks dear.. yeah I like it, looks mystical ^_^
I envy you!
Jerica does not contribute to my “hate” at all. Just sick of y’all’s whiney baby selfishness. Every single argument you’ve posted is all about you and not anyone else suffering due to the pandemic. It is your constitutional duty to provide for the good of the commonwealth and you are failing. My son died a hero. I’m not suffering a smidge of karma fuck you very much!
@@katymcaneny2776What? Wrong video…? This is about how to do a transition on roller skates, who tf is Jerica
I quit derby because I couldn't transition and now I'm sitting here plotting how I can get back to the rink to try this. This was the CLEAREST explanation of weight shifting I've ever seen and now I want to try again!
I hope you get back into derby. Transitions are definitely one skill that seem to hold skaters back … well...along with the 27 in 5 ;)
Nice👍
I did it!! I learned the transition. You were so right, I was thinking about my feet and not my shoulders. Once I stopped thinking about my feet, bam, there it was.
YES! Sooo great to read this! Congratulations!
You are very good and breaking this down into baby steps!! Please make more videos!!
Everybody: You're such a good teacher!
Me: God she's pretty
YOU are sweet :) Thank you.
@@DirtydeborahharryAhh! I was not expecting you to reply! Thank you! Also, I just got my first pair of skates today! I told my mom all about how i learned to start from you! Thank you Dirty Deb!
@@oliviapelfrey8207 so excited for you! Can't wait to about your progress!!@
@@Dirtydeborahharry Thank you!
She is the absolute California babe! The woman we would see in the movies as a kid in Scandinavia! YES to this comment!!!
I love her teaching style. Its very helpful to know that youre not “lifting your heel” youre “pressing your toes” and that youre not bending knees but rather shifting your weight over your hips
I love that you actually really listen to what I am saying 👏👏👏 That makes me extremely happy. Have fun skating.
Im re-learning after over 20 years off skates...your videos have given me so much courage! I love that you make it a whole-body lesson...it’s so much easier when I understand the dynamics! Thank you so much for helping to bring this joy back into my life!
I am so happy to read this :)
I'm going tonight. Fractured tailbone and ulnar nerve damage can be quiet for a while. Bad fall on old skates with no upkeep. Lesson learned hard way. Anyway, have been binging on skating videos and you're the best. The others seem sweet and good people, but I can't concentrate on what's happening. TBI, as well as musician and tone,dynamics, mechanics all come into play. Your squeaks barely noticed but the street sounds weren't pleasant. Prolly won't do outside skating because of that. Anyway, my best friend is from California and it's her little granddaughter who I'm treating. She is 9 and in remission. She was allowed to pick her activity so I had to step up. You've helped so much, I just don't have the right words to express my gratitude. If I get to make the California trip, I've promised myself a visit to your rink. SC is ONLY a gazillion miles away huh? Take care and we be watching. Will let you know how tonight goes. Nofalldown nofalldown nofalldown
You are SUCH a gifted teacher. Transitioning took me nearly a year to learn and im still not confident with them, but this tutorial is the BEST and i can’t wait to get out there again!
awwww thank you so much!
Honestly I love how you have a catch phrase for how to do the move. “Down, shift, look, heel to heel, toe to toe”. It’s really helpful!
You’re so lovely. The most clear coaching ever.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
I really like the way you teach. I’m still learning transitions but I think your explanation has really helped my understanding of what I’m doing (and what I’ve been doing wrong).
i’ve been trying to do this for 3 days i finally got it by watching this
Yahoooooo!
Me too
Mee too
You are an amazing teacher
Thank you so much.
Your emphasis on only needing to lift your wheels a tiny bit is the key! Thats the biggest thing that helps me break my fear! You’re incredible at breaking things down and simplifying things!
You and Diamond Walker are THE BEST teachers on UA-cam!
You are so amazing to even say that. I love Diamond. He is such a unique and amazing talent.
Best explanation ever! Transitions scare me but with the way you teach it makes sense. I swear I am going to conquer this!
Take it step by step then let it flow! Lots of practice too. Let me know how it goes .
This is how active I wanna be when I'm 30, 40, 50.. until I no more can. I respect you mam. I'm 26 years old and your energy makes me feel 10 years younger. Wonderful.
I love your videos !! You are the best teacher on UA-cam I’ve seen yet ☺️
Thank you so much :)
5 years ago already!!! Eek. And I still rewatch many of these videos as my skills progress. Such a valuable resource. 😊
Years ago I tried learning rollerskating, and gave up. I'm happy to be back on your channel💖
Thanks thanks thanks! Thanks to you I can almost turn perfectly! I thought I could never do it, but today I tried, I was scared to fall at first but eventually I tried, and tried for almost two hours. I finally can do that, I just need to perfect it with speed. It’s the best day of my life.
Yeah! Filming a video about mohawk turns that should help you a lot. Stay tuned.
Dirty Deb! I'm over here after watching the tutorial you did on 3 turns on repeat for days now and I think I finally see what you're saying about not really lifting the heel but pressing through the ball and lifting the snacks. Im excited to go and practice! Thanks so much!
Wonderful! I love it when a skater actually listens to the detailed instructions :)
Please make more videos. I love your vibe, you make it look so easy and the way you break it down gets me excited to practise and perfect the skill. Keep those vids coming 😊
Thank you so much. I will do my best to keep them coming.
Dirty Deb is the Greatest. Ever. Like, don't pass GO on your skates without watching the Dirty Deb. This channel helps me with my lessons in person and all my skate coaches and faves follow her, too! Thanks so much for helping me and all of us.
Thanks for the love. I'm in my late 30's and waiting for my first pair of roller skates in the mail. Getting all your lessons down so I'm prepared.
My son bought me the Moxi Lolly for Mother's Day... I'm 40!!! Here for lessons also
@@loozecannons6255 you are so lucky. Do you know how expensive those are? Good luck. And don't break a leg.
Deb!!! You were made to be a teacher. That’s a gift. Thank you for your knowledge!
Wow, thank you!
50+ years of skating and never heard it broken down so precise! Good teaching!
Literally the best tutorials ever, far always make wayy more sense than anyone else
3:37 saving for when I try this great tutorial!
Viewers don’t forget to watch the ads... $$ support the love 💜
Hey Double D✔️
Excellent video. I grew up in the Roller Rinks of the South. Approximately 20 hours per week for 11-12 years.
Laid off for a bit, did a little in my early 40’s at the beach’s around LAX. Laid off a bit and today was day 1 of my return. I’ll be 70 in just a few months. I know my body will eventually remember but it’s lessons like yours at give me mental cues to use until that happens. You’re a godsend !
Dirty Deborah comes thru again with the super clear instructions!!! This helped me so much!
I Just started learning how to skate, tried turning this morning and realized I'd better watch a video first. This was so well explained I git it within a few minutes. The shoulder Really means the difference between Getting it and not. Thanks so much!
This is such a great tutorial! The explanation about weight shifting is an absolute game-changer. After two decent practices I’m so much more confident and am starting to master this transition 🥳
Glad it was helpful!
I recently put skates on after 35 years. Your videos are so helpful. I lived in skates like Tootie from 11-17 years of age. I never took lessons. Just trial and error. Thank goodness I never broke any bones. Looking forward to the fun and healthy benefits of skating into old age.
I'm the same. Skated as a kid. Never took lessons. I'm back in the 'saddle' again after 40 years and loving it. The physical, mental and social health benefits are brilliant. I too plan on skating into old age.. and beyond😂 Enjoy 😊
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen and I’ve watched dozens, thanks!
Thank you, Deborah! You’re a SUPERSTAR! Love ya!
T h a n k 👍🏼 Y o u !!!! From Miami ☀️🌴🌴🌴
Deeeeeeb! You are my skater mom, i’ve Seen most of your vids and everytime I’m skating I hear your voice “down with the butt...shift your body weight... open your arms, look up” I’ve learnt so much with you, will be forever grateful , send you a big big hug!
Right back atcha!!!
i just started skating and these videos are so helpful and they help me feel more confident and comfortable!! thank you so much!
This was really informative. The weight transfer and head-torso-hip turn info helped immensely. Thank you!
Awesome training video. You're so good as a training instructor.
I love your videos, your personality and your way of teaching so much! I haven't been able to afford my skates yet, but I've been watching so many of your videos already, trying to learn how to do certain things. I can't wait until I finally get my skates and I can actually try it all out! Thanks so much for making these videos and making things accessible for people who are unable to go and take lessons. You're an awesome teacher and you're also entertaining!
Debra, you are the best! Your instruction is sooooo good! You break things down in such easy to understand steps!😘
What if you have a head like the exorcist and your head turns and your shoulders won't follow. (You know what I mean ;D)
Linda Blair was a good little skater in "Roller Boogie" so I'd say you would do just fine :)
@@dirtydeborahharry9507 #truth
You should try the door thing where you stick your arm out and turn it as you turn
You are a amazing teacher! Thank you for describing the weight distribution and really breaking it down for us! Thanks to you, I learned how to transition in 10 minutes! Also, do you sell merch? I love the shirts! Thank you Dirty!
You are so welcome! I have merch. Getting it out on Planet Roller Skates very soon.
thanks a lot. When I was a child I've pratictised artistic skating. Now I'm skating for hobby at my age (50)...I'm finding your videos very useful! A big hug from Rome ( Italy)
Absolutely the best instructor on you tube.
I love the squeaking noises of the skates 😂
Would you recommend practicing transitions from standing still first, or is it easier to turn when you’re already rolling?
Do both!!!!
Down and dirty. I love CA girls. Master teacher, fun and real! TY this is my YT therapy. I haven’t skated since late 80-90, fast forward-20 Lost my son, 21 threw a skate memorial party. 22 I am back rolling again. Crazy world but glad to be here.
Hi Debbie, I'm 39 and in the UK. All my life been telling myself I'm not built for skating or such things as I'm very tall and unstable. I recently bought some rollerskates and so far I've mainly just fell over. I'm not sure it's possible still but something in me is pretty determined to prove myself wrong. I found your channel and I think you're my girl. If you can't help me, no one can.
i can’t open my feet enough): whenever i open up my get i fall but if i try to open my toes wider i lose balance
Try to think of the turn as linear. You do not need to open up as much as you need to get the lead foot behind you and follow with the other. Think as if you are in a very tight hallway.
Awesome tutorials girlfriend ★★★
This is the reason why I just need to search your videos instead of a regular UA-cam search. I’m busting my ass this whole session lifting my skate off the ground when you’re saying not to lift the whole foot but lift the heel. I’ve been picking up my foot and I’m clearly not ready for that type of transition yet.
She’s an excellent teacher! I’m saving for my skates and she’ll be my online teacher here in Houston, Tx! Yess!!!
I can't open up my hips wide enough to do heel to heel : (
You don't need to. Just make sure you shift the weight from one foot to the other quickly and that you get your feet perpendicular quickly.
Same :(
That is an absolutely wonderful explanation. Understanding the mechanics will really help to make the turn you want. I was afraid my knee caps would go out on me so I did it any way I could. Thank you for that explanation!
I literally watched this whole skating in the parking lot and did the turns right away. YOU ARE PHENOMENAL
Deb, You are the best! I really appreciate all of your instructions and advice. Keeping me in the game!
Dirty Deb, your instruction is excellent. Very clear, detailed, technical. A lot of us actually like that type of instruction - because if we pay attention and practice, we can then explain it to our kids and friends. I would generally recommend your instruction for inline skaters, too, so long as they take into account the differences between quads and inlines. (Even the toe stop isn't a huge issue when you have artistic inline skates, which likewise have some sort of stopper in the front. ; )
In our inline community, it's been tougher on average finding detailed, technical videos tutorials like this. Inline skating instructor Asha Kirby of Skatefresh teaches like you do; but she has to charge for most of her content, because that's probably her main or sole livelihood. I can respect that. When I have the money, I do what I can to support folks like you and her. = )
Thank you so much for this comment. I struggle with my videos every time I make them because I know that I will go long to explain the details. I lose viewers because they tend to only be able to focus for 5 minutes. I think I would be doing a disservice if I rushed to explain it all in less than 5. Alas I remain committed to the full video.
this by far is the best video that breaks down the mechanics of transitioning. i found when i thought of compressing the top of my skate and holding my hands out as a guide line to turn my head i got it immediately!
Glad it was helpful!
This is my biggest obstacle right now! It was backwards skating last week and I got that now... your video is so helpful I’ll update when I finally get transitions! I WILL GET IT
I can not get over how elegant and effortless she skates. I would watch her all day !!! And she's such a smart teacher 😍😍😍
Went skating today and I kept saying these steps in my head FINALLY got my transition down it’s not smooth but it’s getting better ? Thank u !!!!
I just love your videos. They way you explain everything has helped me a lot. Thanks for all you do for us beginners.
Hey Deborah!! I’m 41 live in Australia and bought a pair of skates last Friday (it’s Wednesday now) after not skating for about 30+ years. I’ve been watching your UA-cam channel flat out and practicing where and when I can. You’ve made this so fun for me to learn. I love how you break everything down. I’ve tried your little heel toe spins in my garage late Monday night after I got my son to bed. I was terrified before I started but am building confidence each time I get my skates on. I did not think I’d be trying spins in my first week!! Thanks for doing you babe!!
Just found you and LOVE your no nonsense, straight to the point and easy to follow instructions and style!! Subscribed!!
You are so helpful! You video helped me to learn the transition in like 5mins!! I am so happy!
I'm 37 and just learning to skate. So grateful for these videos! THANK YOU!!
The easiest, most clear instructions I’ve found , many others over complicate this.
This was the BEST lesson I've ever seen. You broke each step down perfectly...thanks!!!
I got it in 30 seconds and was struggling for a week to figure it out what a video 😂😂😂😂!!! Thanks !!
this was so helpful, I literally got it within three tries because of your clear coaching! Thank you!
Yesterday after watching this was the first day it clicked for me and I actually was able to do this turn! So thank you thank you!!! Very good instructions
Some people were just born to teach and inspire,great work Dirty Deb,been watching all your videos,as I’m still waiting for my skates to arrive.I ice skate,ski and used to roller skate back in the daayss.lolI can’t wait ,since I know most of these skills are about “weight”transfer and subtle foot movements,not everyone knows how to teach this.👍🏼
Welcome back to skating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for your kind words!
Literally watched this video this morning ! Just got done practicing in the living room !😂 couldn’t wait to go outside !!! It was still dark outside ! Hahaha thank-you so much !!! You’re great! ❤
Fantastic slow and step by step idea for starters
"Down to hold an edge; up to switch an edge". So helpful xxoo
I was able to do this yesterday because of you. Thank you, it was an awesome day for me.
gadd damnn best coach out there. I tried to follow other tutorials and just couldn't get the hang of it. Watched ur instructions on weight distribution and voila i magically turned as if i innately knew how to do it. thankss
I appreciate that!
Literally went to my first lesson with a derby team today after exercising off skates and practising swizzles (in my kitchen) like you recommended a while ago. Also got my own skates which made A HUGE difference. So happy and nailed my transitions. Slowly working towards 27/5 (got 14 today which is a huge improvement considering I couldn't stand a few weeks ago). Point is... THANK YOU.
Congratulations! Welcome to the club! Now sign up to go to rollercon!!!
i still struggle with the heel to heel part but this had helped sooooo much. best tutorial out there.
Dirty Deborah! You are the best. I"m returning to skating after over 20 years. Your videos are have been so instrumental in helping me gain the confidence to get back out there. I'm only at the beginning, but i'm having a blast and feeling successful. Thank you! ROLL ON!
Oh my gosh!! I just love this chick!! I'm learning skating just because of her!! She is hilarious!! But also an amazing teacher!! Love your attitude girl!!!
Wow, thank you!
Amazing tutorial, have cracked it in the last hour and a half thanks to your guidance. I'm super happy 😊
I practiced for hours, and after watching this video realized my shoulder was my issue! Practiced keeping my shoulder closed and got it instantly! You're such a good teacher and the way you explain how to properly hold your body while skating is so helpful! Love your videos❤
This is the best tutorial ever so thorough and fixes what we might do wrong u got a new subscriber i did this trick so easily now
just got my skates yesterday and watching your videos is getting me so excited!!
That's awesome!
You did such a great job at explaining this. Transitions on my left side we're driving me crazy. But when I followed these basic steps with lots of practice. It's WORKING!!! 🤸🤸🤸
Great to hear!!!!!!
Transitioning came naturally to me once I learned to skate backwards but them damn crossovers ..smh...super side note ... I adore you Deb, you have no idea how much of a gem that you are!! You're out here changing lives ...
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate your kind works!
Literally giggling with glee as my feet and hips are starting to get this!!! THANK YOU!!!
OMG! The breakdown is everything! Every other video isn't near this clear for me. I have been thinking about my feet first. Ugh! Can't wait to practice
Glad it was helpful!
I just recently purchased new skates. I used to go skating EVERY Sunday-& I haven’t been skating in over 20 years now. I have a long carport at my home that I’ve been using to get reacquainted. The best advice I can give is to act like the skates are an extension of your feet, and become 1 with them.
Your literally the bests, your videos help so much! So grateful for you
For those who can do all the steps but struggle with the “toe to toe” step, you might have missed this part of the video:
When you do heel to heel bit, you do it by putting the weight on the FRONT/TOE of the skate you are moving and then maneuvering it 3:01. But when you do the toe to toe part, you shift your weight to the skate you just moved, and with the weight left on the other foot, put it on THE BACK/HEEL of the skate in order to maneuver it smoothly 3:28.
thank you so so so so much! i couldn’t figure out how to start the footwork :o you’re the best! ♥️
Your such a good teacher! This helped me so much with transitioning. Wish I lived near a roller rink though 😪
Im a native spanish speaker, but i dont know why this is my favorite skating teacher, she explains very clear every step. ❤
I will definitely use this when I get the chance!!! I love how people explain things to me by describing the feeling, what you should think, and little baby steps to then put it all together!!! Great work thank you!! ♡♡
