I went down the hill on my residential street facing forward and saw my life flash before my eyes. I know the neighbors thought I was losing my mind as I yelled the whole way down. I’ve never prayed so hard in my life. I sat on the curb for a good 20 minutes to gain my composure. Why did decide to learn to skate on my forties. Thank you for tutorials, you’re my skating shero
C. Moore hahah this made me laugh, thank you. i feel you though i’ve been in a very similar experience except i took a pretty bad fall :(
Did you mean hero?
@@jansipennem7344 I'm sure she meant shero :D
This is LIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahah :)
I'm 52 and haven't started yet but so excited!!
When I started watching you, I thought, "I'll never be able to do anything she can do" two years later, and now you're making videos about stuff I do on the daily. Wouldn't be here without you! Thanks, Dirty.
I'm so glad! That is really cool!

Hi Deborah.
That’s inspiring! That gives me hope!
@@dolli818 Right 😥😅
Bless!
"you get faster and faster and then you have to make decisions" - my decision process was literally 'fall on the grass or aim for the tree' 😂
😂😂😂😂
I sprained both my wrists and am currently wearing a wrist guard so...at least u didnt try to grab a pole goin downhill and panicking to stop...
This is me but with poles and lamp posts. I remember one time I got distracted by something when I rode into one and my legs kept riding on so I just sorta slowly slid down the pole 😂
Me right there 🙋♀️
Meeeee
Whoa dirty, are you wearing a mic? Audio quality is 👌
And do tell about those boot covers!
@rollielocks got a new mic and we are ready to make even better quality videos!!!
@@aignemakerofchase You can see a little mic on her swimsuit top
As far as her skates go, they just look like sneaker skates
@@aignemakerofchase I really don't think those are covers. They look MUCH more like shoe skates....I've got 2 myself...and a pair of bunny slippers I converted, as well.
@@Dirtydeborahharry I really appreciate that, it makes the auto captioning work much better for deaf newbie skaters like me!!
"Cyclist, think they're all cool" AHAHA
They were yelling at me! LOL!
haha punks
@@Dirtydeborahharry I was wondering what happened lol I saw you make a face as soon as they passed by
Pre teens on bikes are the rudest people at my local skate park. They're weirdly vicious!!! Is that just my neighborhood or is that everywhere?
Sometimes they think they own the roads and nowbody else should be there, some can be really rude but Deborah did it great, just ignore them and keep smiling ❤️❤️
me who can't even skip uphill - ah yes, interesting 👁👄👁
Roller skating is starting to become abit of a trend on tiktok! Maybe look into making an account on there because people would definitely be interested and you could point them towards this chanel too! Love your videos keep it up
Good idea!! Thank you very much. I will.
@@Dirtydeborahharry yes pls do
Shrugging off those “cool guy cyclists” and waving at the fire department car just shows how much of a lovely and kind spirit you are! Totally binge watching your videos and I’m so excited for my first skates to be hugging these toes soon!
How to Roller Skate Downhill by Dirty Deborah saved my life yesterday! I just just just started skating and my husband took me out as he skate boarded and as we were going along he took me down this hill by mistake and I tuned myself around because I watched this video the night before and couldn't believe that I had to use it!! THANK YOU SO LOVING MUCH! YOU'RE OUTSANDING Deborah!!!!
I was definitely in panic mode yesterday when I found myself going down a lengthy hill, facing forward and just telling myself, “You got this!” I made it safely but I’m here because I knew that was probably luck and I want to be better prepared next time. Love the ladder analogy and I will definitely being practicing this form now. Thank you!
There’s a little hill where I live and it’s so daunting! 😭 If I’m able to learn this it’ll open up so many more spaces that I’ll be able to skate. Thanks, Deb!
Yeah I wish I would have seen this video about 24 hours ago. I came barreling down a drive way forward grinding my toe stop on my new skates and I had a decision to run into a new truck or an old truck. I ran into an old truck after hitting both of my legs just under my knees and ended up under the old truck. I love the ladder analogy. I’m ready to go back and practice
You and Indy Jamma Jones are the only reason why I decided to skate again after I broke my wrist at a friends birthday party while skating for the first time. I was so scared to skate again but then I found your amazing tutorials and I found Planet Roller Skate and I was motivated again and now I try and skate everyday. I love you and Indy so much you guys inspire me ❤️❤️❤️
Awwww I am really happy to read this :)
I broke my wrist after my first week of inline skating too. It took a lot of courage to get back on the skates, but I did it and I'm so happy I got back into it! I just bought myself a pair of quads... Only ever been quad skating once in a rink. I'm stoked to go out later!
Man. I'm happy to hear that guys! 🤟☀️🌴
I had broke my wrist skating about age 10, some guy pushing me hard from behind. I always wear wrist guards now.
I’ve been watching your videos for a whole week and I’m completely obsessed with your personality and voice. Please never stop teaching
Thank you! Will do!
This makes me want to find a hill and do it right now! I never realised why I've seen skaters go downhill like this, it makes total sense now! I think I need different style skates as my Bauers are too chunky for modern street skating! 12 yr old me would have been all over this, 38 yr old me is a little more cautious. Keep the videos coming!
I’m so happy! This is exactly the video I needed! My apartment has slopes outside every exit and I literally have to walk down them in my socks then put my skates on cos I had not idea how to control my speed downhill😅 thanks so much!!!👏🏽🎉
I did this yesterday, and it really works! I braved a big (to me) hill and did it backwards, and I kept control the whole way. Thanks!!
You're a really good teacher. Thanks for teaching us all your movements, you're really cool🤙
I appreciate that!
I also love that you show skating can be a life long endeavor. I hope I'm still skating when I'm your age. And I hope get to skate with you someday soon when we find out "new normal" in life.
This is soo useful😍last time (and also first😂) i tried going down hills i fell so hard one of my buttcheeks turned blue😂
Yup. Smurfbutt here too 🤣
Things I wished I knew before 😭 I fell SO hard going downhill earlier today (that’s gonna hurt in the morn). Sat down watched this vid and gave it another go and was successful 🤜🏾 Thank goodness for you 🙏🏾
Get it Kaysha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried this last week (on my literal 3rd day of roller skating ever) and it was totally empowering and game changing. THANK YOU!
Hi Dirty, I got my first skates only few days ago for my 39th bday. Love your energy! Can't wait to be so comfortable as you are. I'm a big fan already. Hugs from Ireland:-)
Happy birthday!! Have fun!!! Greetings from So Cal!
Going down hill has always been a worry for me! I remember as a kid going down the hill in my neighborhood and always having to bail into the grass. This is amazing, can’t wait to put this into practice. Thank you for sharing your expertise ♥️
I just discovered you. I was never taught to skate. I was a street skater from childhood into my late teens, just skating the streets; steep hills, curbs, cracks, traffic etc and I had to figure it out on my own. We didn't have protective gear back then but I always felt safe because I used my instinct. I was also very comfortable on my skates because I skated every day and I have a dance background.
Later I found a rink, but I preferred street skating and doing parkour moves on skates; jumps, spins....it's so free being outside. Loving your training videos, and I also enjoy watching the black community and their incredibly cool skate groups, and now I've pulled out my skates again years later, my muscle memory kicked in and I'm skating again, after a long time. There are no rinks where I'm at, so I'm looking forward to the local basketball court for now. Gratitude for sharing your knowledge.
You are the best! Never stop posting videos please!!
Lol she read my mind as my jaw is on the FLOOOR watching her skate backwards down this hill! I know she is a professional but I can’t help but imagine my accident prone cubby butt trying to go backwards down a drive way let alone a street!
I love it! Thank you for encouraging confidence! Can’t wait to be at this level!
It seems easy, on the descent that you are making on the road in Downhill.
Send more of your videos. They're crazy.
What I still need to learn, to get there Deborah.
Debbie, I am a beginner and you and the best in teaching how to skate out of all the other you tubers....no doubt! No offense to the other you tubers... one love. Debbie u are so descriptive and explanatory to the tee. And the way you reference certain moves to be looked at in a different perspective to help understand really works. Love it...love u...love skating. I’m 39 and I’m gonna skate and dance my tush like I am a teen. In a safe way of course😝😁😉
Thank you. This gives me anxiety at the thought but girl, I swear I’m only descending backwards from here forward. You’re awesome! 👍🏼
audio sounds crisp!!! thanks for these great outdoor videos!!!
Glad you like them!
Just came on to tell you I am 48, just got back into skating and tried this. It freakin works!!! I mean, I know you know that, but I am totally stoked!!! 😁 Thank you!!!! You are amazing! 👊🏼
This is gonna save my life! Today I launched myself into yards two times because I couldn't carve down the hill going forward! 😂 Thank you for this, I'm going to practice this asap!
I love your teaching style, enthusiasm and repetition. Ordered my skates today (I haven't skated since the 90s...) and I can't wait to try everything I'm learning in your videos. So grateful to watch this all in advance, too! There are aaaaa lot of hills where I live.
That is awesome!
just went downhill today for the first time after ten years off not skating thinking i could handle it, i was so wrong though halfway down i felt my life flashing before my eyes and entered fight or flight mode and yelled 'PIVOT!' before leaping for the nearest bush to break my fall. luckily i only got out of that with only a few bruises (and leaves stuck in my skates). thank you so much for videos like this im definitely going to practice these techniques before challenging The Hill again.
I watch everything you say, my SO says I’m visibly stronger from skating 2 mos
That is fantastic! I love that you are making progress!
God bless you! I want to feel the wind on my face while skating again, just the way I used to when I was a little girl. I'm so thankful I found your UA-cam channel. LOVE the way you teach!!!
I know that feeling you are after! Keep it up!
I have watched this video all the way through at least four times, and finally it's clicking when I'm actually going down a hill that would otherwise be scary! Thank you so much for all your tutorials. I swear every time I skate I think "what would Dirty say"!
Glad it was helpful.
Hey ❤ I recently started watching your videos from all the way in England, and before I know it I'm ordering skates online which are due to arrive this Thursday!!
By the way I love these videos and your amazing personality and teaching skills - Thank you so much!! 😍❤
Skating isn't much of a cool thing here and I'm kind of nervous about doing it in front of other people 🤷♀️
Argh! Yes I’m in England too and just started! Also nervous of practising in front if people haha!!
So am I, it's ok! I'm just starting out after subscribing here. We can look stupid from across the world together
UK here too! Joined roller Derby intake classes in January, obviously been called off months ago so I'm skating outside regularly. I love these videos they really help!
@Wilson Combatgirl Thank You!!
English skater here too 🙋🏻♀️ I love indoor skating but can’t transition and my backwards skating is limited, so the idea of skating outside where it isn’t the norm is terrifying! Watching all of these videos to encourage me to get out and skate!
It's amazing how the toe stops hold up with all that dragging! Love the glasses. ♥
I love the way you talk hahaha so much energy makes me so happy! Thank you for all the information I just ordered my skates can’t wait to get started :)
Have fun!
I just love your skates here
i live in a very hilly area and wiped out big yesterday, this is so helpful. going backwards is so practical but yet i never thought of it
The panic is REAL! Thanks for the video, so helpful. From newbie in the U.K. 🛼
Your helping me get better everyday!! Today I’m gonna try and get out of my parking spot to the street. This will help me so much!!
Thank you for this awesome video, I am soooo scared of hills, I yell if I start going faster and my husband comes to my rescue 😅😅😅 I got my skates this month after 20+ years of no practice 😀 I'm learning balance again. Regards from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Good morning Dirty Queen of skating! I am a new follower and I live in Germany. Well, I bought my first pair of skates and I will be wearing them in the week end - feel so excited! Your videos are so inspiring and you make things look so easy! I won't start my little skating adventure by rolling down a hill, of course! Just felt to tell you that you are a very inspiring teacher and that you explain the moves with simplicity. Thanks for sharing all these wonderful tips and tricks - God bless you! Big hug from HD! (Heidelberg)
I am beginner at age 55 yrs old , love your video lessons
The face I made when you said that that wasn't even a big hill. "This can't end well" LOL WHEWWWWWW i LOVE it. One day....
Literally wiped out going downhill twice today, and then this video was recommended.
You are such a great teacher! Your explanations are so clear, it really helps! I started watching your videos a few days ago and now I can’t stop :) You will be with me every time I go training outdoor. Thanks!!
YAY! I am so excited for you.
Scaredy Cat (Er, my 16 year old daughter): "I can't do that!!!"
Me: "Yeah, you can...you just won't."
Her; "No, it's not possible."
Me: "She just did it, obviously it's possible."
Also Me: "I wanna go down those stairs behind her!!!!!!"
15 year old daughter: "Not without me, you're not!!! When are we going to California?"
Does it show which of my younger daughters got their mother's nerve? LOL
Thank you so so so much for this video! I went down a super long hill and the only stop I knew to do was plow... my knees were so pissed. Didn’t help that my trucks were too tight. Thank you for both videos!!!!! Today I mastered that hill using this method and I love love love this method. Bonus is that it made me way more confident going backward!!! 😘😘😘
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I don’t know how I missed this video! Great tips Deborah! I’m terrified to try this, but I accept this challenge! I’m tired of being petrified when I pick up speed going down a hill lol I can never predict how steep it will really be until it’s the moment of truth and I have to plan a quick escape 😅😂
I love all the detail that is included in your videos. You make a awesome teacher Dirty D!
I appreciate that!
Love this! I skate up hill to my local park, do some drills, then pick my bail out spot for the way home when I’m out of control down the hill 😂 Time to practice!
Oh my lanta! You’re GOOD! I needed this lesson! Thank you so much my friend! Love you! ❤️😘
I watch a lot of your videos but honestly when I first saw this video I immediately thought you were crazy and that there had to be another way. So I avoided this video and a baby hill for a while.. Improved my skills then finally decided I was ready to not be a punk and try going backwards downhill in my neighborhood(on a section of a big hill). It worked. It needs work but I went back to that baby hill and nailed it. Thank you for all your videos.
Thank you so much Deborah for all the tricks you give us, it’s helping very very very much! Love u, Nancy from Montreal Canada 😎😍🤩
The 4 dislikes are from "cool" cyclists hahaha
right!? LOL! They were yelling at me while filming LOL! What are ya gonna do.
@@Dirtydeborahharry cyclists are rude in my experiences outdoor skating so far...
Can I just say I LOVE Your energy, positivity and expertise!!! I just realized that you sound like the hilarious Melissa McCarthy!!!! Keep being an awesome and fun lady!!!
Thank you! 😊
Vans skates, nice and probably really good for street skating 💜 I love the skates, love the baby blue cap and I love you Dirty... You make this look so easy! Blessings 💕
Love this lady... she's given me so much confidence to try things (initially in the house first lol) and excel in the course I took last year. Thanks Dirty
Dirty, I am so happy that you have this UA-cam channel! Every time I open UA-cam, I end up watching lots of your videos and learning a lot. I revisit your videos over and over in order to practice.
You're so clear about every movement, and you explain every detail in full extent! Your tutorials are concise and I find them to be very helpful. Plus, you're so charismatic!
I can't put into words how much I appreciate all the time and effort you've invested in this channel. Thanks to you and your team. ♥
Wow, thank you!
The skates you’re wearing in this video are SO cute I love them!!! Also I started with your beginner rink videos so I could feel ready to try my local place without embarrassing myself too much and now I’m just watching everything you’ve made for fun haha
dude I as literally looking for this exact video whem I got a notification... Thanks Dirty D!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Lord I would be freaking out going down that hill I’m not kidding 😂😂😂 I will be screaming all the way down. 😅
Dirty I'm sooooo glad I found your channel, I haven't skated since I was in my teens and I'm now 47 trying to relearn it, I thought oh it's like riding a bike you never forget, wrong for me I got me a pair of skates and went to the park to skate and oh boy, I found out fast I had to relearn how to skate so I thought humm ok UA-cam should have videos on it and I found a bunch but I love yours the best because you keep it real and show step by step how to learn how to skate and I kid you not everyday I go to the park to practice, I say out loud what you say and people look at me like I'm crazy lol I don't care I'm determined to learn again thanks to you for giving me the confidence to do it and i encouraged my friend to skate again, shes going to the roller ring today to skate. Thank you so much Dirty for all you do to teach people how to skate giving them the confidence they need to go for it. I found your channel a few days ago and can't stop watching your videos, your awesome! My name is Elaine!
Hello Elaine and welcome back to the wonderful world of skating! Take a look at my "Dirty Talks" playlist for some encouraging words from me to you :) I am so happy that you are skating. I can feel your enthusiasm while reading your comment :)
@@Dirtydeborahharry Thank you, I will go through your play list and watch more videos, I love them.
That's one thing I always had since I was a child is determination, my family would always tell me I can't do something and it made me so mad I said I'll show you what I can do and I always did. Now I'm determined to relearn how to skate and I'm going to do it watching your videos. Thank you so much for all you do, it really is so very helpful to me, I always hear you say practice, practice, practice and I said yes that's what it takes alot of. Well off to practice I go!
Had a great day today!!! I finally managed to go down a big and rough floor hill for the first time going backwards and I didn't fall over not a single time, this has been my biggest target for the last weeks and I am feeling very proud, I went very slow though but I will keep practicing to improve my speed, thanks again Deborah for your great help, your videos are the best 👍🏻❤️
You're such a great teacher! I find understanding how to copy movements difficult, but you're so easy to understand, you really think of everything. And the energy and confidence is infectious! You make me so excited to learn roller skating :)
I had my 1st outdoor skating adventure last weekend on an empty parking lot that LOOKED fairly level. Nope! I found out fast that there was quite a bit of incline once I had wheels on my feet. LOL. I ended up going forward, getting low & shifting my weight to go back & forth from side-to-side down the hill like I was skiing on the bunny slope. It wasn’t pretty, but it was a fun way for me to get comfortable skating on rough concrete. Plus, it was good practice for weight transitioning and finding my edges. Once I master your hill skating tutorials, my ultimate “crazy” goal is to hillbomb one of the new overpasses on the loop that goes around my tiny town. Evil Knievel-level site safety prep and all of the PPE I can possibly fit on my body first though! 😂😂😂
This was soo dope I need those skates during quarantine.
I practiced this going down my sloped driveway... I abandoned it halfway to take the grass... now as I'm re-watching the video again, I figured out what I did poorly. This is why I love your UA-cam videos... I can come back over and over until I get it right!
I feel this... I am a new skater trying in Virginia with lots hills. One day I decided to skate in my neighborhood and wasn't familiar with the area. Soon enough the road turned downhill and I thought I was done... I took a butt.. Hurt for weeks. But survived.. I love the tips in this video
Filming a video this week about how to use protective gear for downhill. Stay tuned.
@@Dirtydeborahharry Nice, I can't wait
I skateboard and just stumbling upon your channel you make it look fun I'm gonna have to buy a pair
Dirty you are a godsend. We baby skaters thank you for keeping us safe
Happy to do so!
Omg you're so amazing! Thank goodness for ur existence 👑 i was so nervous about trying hills and after watching this i feel so confident that i can do it! Baby hill first☝🏽 hahaha!
Oh my gosh you have no idea how much this helped me. I used to squat down and clench my teeth while going downhill. I was so terrified. Your video is so so comforting and helpful. It is still taking me a while to get it, but its coming along. Thank you so much! I am literally going to binge all your vids because I am a beginner to out door skating and oh my gosh it is so daunting. Thank you!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live for these kinds of comments. Success on both our parts!
Love your teaching style!! Very clear, entertaining and easy to follow. This technique has had me very intimidated but now I'm ready to give it a go. Thank you so much!!!!
You are so welcome!
You are definitely a pro in your art; you really are. You make this look easy but I don't think it is unless you first master other things that you have covered in other videos... and I mean MASTER IT. Things like putting your weight in one specific leg, or the other one... or bending a bit forward so that you are not straight like a broom and you distribute your weight while keeping balance... I don't know. For me, the mere thought of going downhill is suicidal. It's an instant kill. And trust me I don't want to be negative let alone funny; I'd love to be able to do all that... but I just don't think my current skills provide the confidence it takes to do something soooo maniac.
I agree. I love the fact that you recognize that there are a variety of skills involved in mastering a particular move. If you continue to follow your gut instinct and work on your primary skating skills, you will get to a point where this seems like a reasonable extension of those.
Fantastic! Can’t wait to try it out.
Wish I’d know of this last week when I was going down a slight decline. I ended up going too fast and bailed to the grass. Didn’t fall, though!!
You explain things so well. The example about going down a ladder...makes perfect sense!
Thank you! I think so too! It dawned on me one day and I was like "yes!!! Finally a way to describe it!"
Jajajaja hills are my nemesis!! I'm in panic before to see a hill xD but now I'll try this ❤❤ thanks debrah 🌹🌹🌹🤗🤗
I’m on day 5 of learning to skate and skating every day in May. Your videos have been amazing!! Day 1 and 2 I was just trying to survive, but by today I was able to actually feel my edges and transfer my weight intentionally!! I’ve been having my husband watch the videos too so he can remind me of what I’m trying to do when I start to panic 🤪 Today was the best day yet! I feel like I owe you a drink or 10 because of how amazing your videos are and how clear and simple you make the instructions. I tried to find FVSC merch to support you guys while you’re closed but didn’t see anything on the site.... thank you thank you thank you for helping me get through this quarantine and for giving me the tools to have fun learning to roller skate ❤️❤️❤️
Oh I am sooooo happy to read this and I am doubly happy that you got your hubby to "coach" you. Skating makes great memories.
You help me so much! And also their is a lot of roller skaters in you home town
Yes there are a ton of skaters in the LA/OC area. The weather makes it possible to skate year round do that helps.
Your videos are SO helpful!!! Thank you!
Can't wait to try this! Your videos are just wonderful Dirty! ❤️ I bought my first pair of skates around two weeks ago and I've been watching your tutorials every other day, you're a ray of sunshine ✨ my mum and my two friends have now bought skates too and your instructions have us flying around on them already 💜 thank youuuu x
Glad you like them! You guys have just formed your own skate gang!
I ❤️ Dirty Deb. Another FANtastic lesson.
Love your videos!! You're an amazing teacher!!
Such great content! Thanks Deb! ❤️
These videos are just too good!🛼
Awesomeness!! Thanks from NC!! I can't wait to get my skates!!
i literally do a bunch of bubbles/ plow stops to slow down then use my toe stop or a plow stop at the end. It is not graceful but I never get hit by a car. I've only been skating for the last 5 days so I'd say I'm doing great. Definity gonna try this.
What a powerful intro! You inspire me every day, Deb!
Yaaasss, Deb. You’re the queen! Thanks for always making such clear and FUN videos. ♥️♥️♥️✌🏼
You're really cool, thank you for teaching us how to skate!
I loved that tutorial so much. It’s something I’ve been thinking about as a new skater who lives in a very hilly area. It just seems impossible.. but this video gives me some tools to work with. Now if only our roads were as smooth and pothole free 😅 but I’m totally trying this somewhere with a baby hill to start. One of the first injuries I had was a downhill section with a 90 degree turn at the bottom. I was in way over my head and bailed into the grass lol 😂 that took a dump on my skating experience for sure haha. Thank you! You’re the best. 🥰
Thank you for all of the information, tips, and encouragement 💪😎 you rock Deb👍😁
Just in time! Thank you so much for keeping us entertained and learning new things
i love your energy so much! youre so kind, you make me even more excited about getting into the roller skating community !
