Shoutout to Xavier who does all these stuff AND holding a camera at the same time!
Hey that would be so hard
Deborah sell rubber wheels?
@Richard Wang no what?
Agreed! He is great
He got skills man I would of fell😂😂
Skating is one of the few sports that we can continue to do as we get older. And it's the most fun!
Truth.
My grandparents skated into their 70 s. so true!
Are yall sure? Cause I'm so nervous I'm going to break myself. However, I have had several surgeries and am very accident prone. You all are very encouraging! I will keep practicing, and I HAVE HOPE that I will love outdoor skating more than indoor before I know it!
Glad to see you mention that. I’m comfortable indoor skating on quads, and outdoor on roller blades - but now I’m trying quads outside, and I’m not a kid anymore. #LongBeach
Oh, but girl when you fall ya feel that age in your bones!
I’m glad you uploaded this! I was using the indoor technique outside and i was wondering why it was so hard to get over cracks. I can’t wait to try this!
do the wheels get stuck real easy on small stones? blades don't really get stuck on anything but take a long time to get in and out of so its not great for going to the shops.
Me too Audra.
Girl me too! I've been so scared to go on sidewalk because of it lol
Yes me to and I thought I had to go buy softer wheels as I’m using 80a
This saved my life
Skating outdoors is terrifying! I'm in the UK and our pavements are full of potholes, weeds and dogsh*t. I have been really struggling to find somewhere nice and flat. Our street is lovely and quiet, but it's very bumpy and has a lot of inclines. I'm going to keep trying it though. I'm not confident at stopping quickly but I really think watching this video will help as I've also been using the indoor skating method, so probably have been making things harder for myself. Thanks Deb!
I used to roller skate in the town as a teen in Ireland and yes you gotta be alert and ready to bail 🤣. I wanna skate again only with my little girl now...
Just bought skates. Was inspired by watching these cool cats in america thinking I could just step outside into the sunshine. But alas, like you say the UK pavements are not great plus the constant wet weather is not conducive to skating.
As a kid I always skated at my school with my friends. Now as an adult trying to learn again, schools are still a good place to go: open flat pavement for playground games means smoother going for my skates. If you can find an outdoor basketball or tennis court in a park, that works, too. Just be sure to leave if someone comes wanting to use it for its real purpose.
do you ever skate at midnight? becasue no one is outside. i guess ts the best skate in the street if you can
I found a local footy club that has a cemented area outside their change rooms!!!
Lmao "almost that time when all the weirdos come out"
You must live in LB :)
@@Dirtydeborahharry Eugene OR is about the same lol!
Down with the butt....up with the gut...down with the butt...up with the butt...got it!
XD
gotta love butters saying that, lmfao
So twerk 👌
speedyproductions100 lmao I was about to comment this.
This also makes me feel like I'm getting such a better work out too!! Annnd I really love the skates I bought too.
You skate so elegantly cool that I was watching people watching you, ha haaa. Anyway as a kid we learned outdoors skating first because mom always send us outside, but adding the technicals is a major plus. Finally what a beautiful back drop.
LBC, baby. I couldnt agree more. I moved here from NYC to get these views. Nothing like Long Beach, Calif.!
@@HitchcockBrunette I’m in Long Beach and simply googled how to skate outside, and was like “Ummmm is that where I think it is?!” That’s about to be the parking lot where I practice! Lol
@@ebonyr.b.1216 Yes girl!! Ive see Deb filming before while in the lot and been star struck! xo
The floors in my house will leave a scratch every time you ride something on it that has wheels, so my mom is gonna send me outside
Coolest 👏🏻intro👏🏻EVER!!!!👏🏻 😂😂
Thank you for these outdoor vids, Deb!! No one is touching on this stuff the way you do!! Love you long time!!! Keep em’ coming!!!
(Why is there no skate emoji yet?!? 🧐😝)
You might love channel @indy jamma jones
🏃🎿 i agree ... surely it wont be long they should just create a pre emptive emoji setting
@@lokzie171 was just gonna say that
⛸ this is the closest thing I can find
⛸ with wheels would be good
The way she glided off the sidewalk. WOW😮😮😮😮😮
Almost as if it was an even surface
She's as smooth as glass !
Learning to skate outdoors this is SO HELPFUL!!! You break everything down and it's really easy to understand and follow. Could you please do a video on skating on uneven,old sidewalks? I have them all over my neighborhood
Me toooooo Luna!!!
Ooh this would be so useful. Me too!
Great video...Informative and user friendly. I have been skating outdoors since the 70's - grew up in Naples Long Beach. I am close to 60 now and still skating outdoors. I look forward to your videos. A kind warm thank you...
Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!
tarotvisions wow this great , there is someone else who my age and can skate :) thanks
Wanda Statton
I am 58 am inspired to continue to pick up skating.🥰
Thankyou for keeping the inspiration flowing im in my 30s and was too nervous to keep trying but now im convinced ...great exercise and ffun! i will keep trying to skate.💕💖
Ok boomer
My Girlfriend loves to Rollerskate, and these videos have taught me alot so that I can join her and have a good time. Thanks bunches!
Skate love! :)
That is friggin cool man
thats so sweet
Find a smooth area and get ready to fall on your tushie!!
DDH, your transitions are beautiful!!
The absolute basics starting with a big ass hill. This reminds me of the time Andre tried to teach me how to ride a bike by convincing me the best way for me to learn was for him to push me down a hill on the bike.
Natasha Estrada I feel like that was a preview of what comes next but your comment still made me laugh
@@melstar926 I will tell you to this day I STILL don't know how to ride a bike.
That's how my neighbour taught my brother and I to cycle! Sent us down a hill with our feet off the pedals. It worked for us but my god I was terrified
My grandpa taught my mom how to drive by sending her down a steep twisty hill
HILLS AND ME ARE NOT FRIENDS RIGHT NOW!!! Not even slight hills, 🤦♀️
To me, you are the ultimate example of a derby girl. I thought they'd be tough and mean but they are so kind and helpful! love from Australia ❤️🐨
best skating video ever! hands down...I'm 40 and after growing up a rink rat I'm ready to get back into skating. Still learning all over again, thank you 😊
Same for me at 43!
THIS IS ME!!!!! THIS OUTSIDE SKATING makes me feel like the biggest "non skater". Techniques are that different and I never honestly thought about it. I'm so excited to see I'm not alone in my new adventure!
Me too! I’m 40
Sounds like me, I'll be 44 next month!!👍
48
Rink rat all through school
Played roller derby 39-42
Why can't you live in the Midwest. You are the best teacher ever. 😭 I need you for priv lessons.
I love all her catchy sayings! it makes it way easier to remember!
"Down with the butt up with the gut".. . I agree
OK, I had no idea outdoor and indoor were different and I have been busting my ass outside for a week trying to bring back my 80s-90s skating rink glory to no avail. It's so hard! I can't wait to try these techniques now. THank you!
I am just now learning how to skate outdoors this was so amazing and helpful thank you so much !!
Or change out wheels
Damn if only I didn’t live literally on the other side of the US. I’d definitely get lessons from Deb
Me too!!! Thankful for these video tutorials! 🙌🏽🤩
Glad you mentioned about the gear! Protective gear is cool. Great tips and video and breakdown
Just turned 50 and suddenly remembered how much joy I took in roller skating as a child. Looking forward to picking up where I left off. Your videos are truly helpful and I'm so deeply appreciative of the work you and your team put into this!
You need to talk about good toe stops, especially if one is going to bomb hills.Oh and good job Xavier!!!!
Oh yes! I love using toe stops and using them will be included on the next video for hills!
Your charisma and voice are just so inviting. You’re an excellent teacher, thanks for the tips!! Xx
Thank you for another awesome tutorial! I had no idea that the weight distribution is different for skating outside! And thank you for the mention about wearing the gear. I have to remind myself sometimes that my parts are more valuable than other people's opinions - or looking "cool." Thank you, lovely. Have a beautiful weekend!
That intro down the hill was incredible
Dutch pavement is all tiles and I'm constantly shaking in my skates, but I'll try again later this weekend. I need to practice on one of the smooth bike lanes we have.
Maartje Swart i’m not so sure about the netherlands but in belgium it’s so fun to skate by the canal! the bike lane goes on for kilometers and it is very flat!
Sorry this is way too off topic but can you tell me why the Dutch are called Dutch?
@@AditiSingh-ie6fy Well that's kind of a long story. Basically the whole territory of what would later become the Netherlands and Germany were called Dietsland, if I'm not mistaken. Germany called itself Deutschland, we became the Nether-(as in low) Lands. But we kept the adjective in English. For more info, check out Etymonline! :)
@@ballonbeestje tysm
Ja gwn op de fietspad oefenen, is veeeeel beter!
YASS QUEEEN ✨👸🏼 you are like a skating guardian angel but way more bad ass!! Love your videos!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so impressed by your mohawk stops (is that what they're called). I'm really determined to get those down. I use ploughs and occasionally my toe stop. But being able turn at speed and put two toe stops down seems critical.
I've been skating at the park while my kids play, there was a little boy trying to learn to skate. I helped him out, it was awesome.
Kellee Hicks you'll be able to transition at speed to mohawk in time. As you get more confident, increase your speed. Incremental improvements over time. Learning or improving is more fun than being good 😊 👍
We call them tomahawk stop.
I've been rink skating forever and just started outdoor skating and I feel so enlightened by this. Scissors, why didn't i think of that! Lol
I watched the first 10 seconds like 30 times just in complete awe
You are adorable ! ❤ my friends and I, in our early 50s, have just returned to skating after a 40 year break. We don't have a rink in our area, just a five mile stretch of promenade by the seafront so this tutorial is invaluable, thank you. So glad to have found you and thank you for all your wonderfully clear and fun tutorials ! Morecambe Lady Skaters Senior Chapter salute you !! ❤
Awesome. 55 here and back at it after 15 years but was roller blading after 30. Practicing in my back yard. Roller rink this Friday🤗🤗
Omg! That intro is badass! That Junipero hill scares the hell outta me
I teach private lessons. I will get you up and down that hill in one lesson :)
@@Dirtydeborahharry yay!!! I can't wait to meet you! Expect me real soon 😎
I am 51 and Dirty Deborah must be as old as I am, and I love her for her enthusiasm and her free spirit! I think she is AWESOME! !! You are my role model and inspiration for when I get the nerve up to get on skates. THANK YOU!!!
Well said!
Years later and this is still a great video to learn from. Thanks Dirty!
The most awesome woman ever! What a great teacher. I have an urge to strap on my skates and give outdoor skating another try.
Keep them coming, the production value is real and awesome!
Thank you!!!
Big creds to Xavier and his bomb skating and shooting skills! ❤
As skating again increases in popularity and How To videos are becoming more available, you are STILL the only one touching the right points... without any kind of self idolisation or vanity. I've watched a number of outdoor skating videos and you are the only one who has talked about weight being on the back foot and skating by going "down with the butt, up with the gut". So great Debbie, I love the way you teach... thank you! Really connecting with your outdoor content, as rinks are still closed here in Melbourne Australia and outdoor is the only option!
Thank you so much for the feedback. I have been through 3 resurgences in roller skating ;) I am so happy that new people join and that others are offering instruction. I will just keep doing what I do and hope to always make a positive impact. p.s. I LOVE AUSSIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Dirtydeborahharry Well I love you! I love that you do things your way! I feel like you serving up your brand of weirdness does make a positive impact!
PS. It was me who literally yelled "DUCK!" while I was skating the other day and shared on Instagram stories, haha. I think the little girl in front of me pooped herself... thanks so much Ms. Dirty xx
I really enjoy watching your videos. As someone who was a good skater in my MUCH younger years......I can't believe how much came back to me (that I forgot) as I watch the videos. Now that I am older (50's) I want to rediscover my love of skating while doing a great aerobic activity. I am definitely rusty, but your videos help me understand how to do it safely without injuring myself. Thank you for making such fun and informative videos!
I LOVE THIS LADY her temperament her talent her voice her advice- everything. First video I've seen of her, already subscribed before it's even over !!
I genuinely can't express how much I love your videos, and how much they really help! I just got my backward skate the other day (whoo) and props to the camera guy, because skating downhill is terrifying. Looking forward to your next outdoor skate video
I am 50 years old and re-learning to skate, one of my favorite hobbies as a child and teenager. Thanks for the lessons, very informative, entertaining and easy to follow steps. ❤☺️
Omg me too! Bought some new cycling cleats, skates next a my own bowling ball and shoes. I love treating myself. Lol. Happy safe skating!!
Dudette, you are AWESOME.x Skates were practically my footwear as a kid, but once i became a teen i lost that love. Now as a fully fledged grown up, i have rediscovered a true love.x Thank you for your skate wisdom, and the joy that you have for this magical gift of wheels on feet. I love that you still have your inner child glow, and you are making this process for me soooo much easier...especially after watching "Am i too old to skate?". Love and light to you and your crew.x.x.x
Wow she has got some skills. I love it when in the title she says the absolute basics. Also her videos are so addicting. I liked this video and i subscribed to dirty school of skate.
Thank you very much. I love to make sure every skater understands the essential skating skills :)
I'm watching this at work and wishing I was there. That parking lot is like home. Tiny Car!!! Woot!!
Hello Dirty Deborah Harry!
Greetings from Bulgaria (a country in Southeast Europe).
I love the way you say your name at the beginning of each video - it sounds like some kind of mantra, it’s very euphonious.
I got my skates three weeks ago and I had to wait one week to the snow to melt so I can finally try them. Here in my country there is no such huge culture of roller skating as in America. We don’t even have roller skate rinks (only ice rinks). Also our streets are mainly constructed by cracks, holes and any kind of bumps. At least some park alleys are fine. But all of this can not stop me from skating, so enough of it.
While I was waiting the snow to go away, I started to watch your videos. And I want to tell you - THANK YOU, Dirty Deborah Harry! Thank you for being so great and passionate teacher!
I am loving all these videos, especially "tighten up your snack area" ❤
So dope how she actually skated through the debris to show us how it’s done!
Yessss! So helpful! My husband and I live in Long Beach and got married 2 years ago at the art museum right above where you’re skating! SO excited to get my first pair of skates since childhood and learn!! Your videos are invaluable, mama. And your personality is infectious! Thank you for bringing your mad knowledge and skill to UA-cam!!
Thanks for this. Just got my outdoor skates yesterday (Sure-Grips, of course, and made sure to tell them "Dirty Debbie sent me.") Got my homework now to do at the rink this weekend. 64 and only been skating for a few weeks. Obsessed!! ❤
I am so excited for you!
Cute outfit, and so nice to watch Debbie skating outside
Is it normal for you legs and feet to tense up alot when your learning how to skate? It makes my feet cramp up lol
Daniris Ocasio Yeah, it also happens when I ice skate
Just try relaxing your feet a little
oh no i get foot cramps all the time already and i'm waiting for my skates in the mail :O
@@tourmii same lol
Curbs are easy. Just jump them! LOL Granted...that may come easier to me since the rink I grew up at actually HAD a curb. Don't know why they built it like that. There was a step down onto the floor, though. About 3-4 inches, so, it really was like a...carpeted curb. Every regular there learned to just skate on the carpet as fast as possible and jump off it at a very early age! LOL
Our rink too! However, that was a whole lot easier back in my teem age years. Then again I also have had 4 different surgeries from injuries over the past 20 years, so I'm also a little more skittish
mine has one too hahaha
The restaurant I work for is opening up car hop and I bought my skates and you have been such a help to learning the basics. Within two days I’ve learned to control my speed, stop and control my turns without falling. I wear all the gear to keep myself safe hehe. Thank you so much! Keep up with the videos I truly enjoy them and they have been really helpful. I’m 28 and the idea of learning how to roller skate at this age seemed crazy but you have made it easy. Thank you again. God bless!
So nice to be able to comment on these rides of yours seen by me in the parking lot by the Pacific Ocean. It's great to be able to learn new ways with you to be able to walk with one leg in front of the other and to be able to climb sidewalks in progress. Thank you so much Déborah for sending me this link of yours. Hugs from Jaime Reis.
What a super fantastic video. Loved the breakdown. You are a great teacher!👍🙏
I love wearing my gear and for some reason it gives me more confidence! Love the video, much appreciated!
Thank you so much for this Video! I've only been skating again for three months. I last stood on roller skates when I was eleven years old, that was more than 35 years ago. Unfortunately, in my town, here in Germany, we don't have such a beautiful roller skating rink as I always see in your videos. But we have a very nice route along a river, about 5 km long. The asphalt is nice and smooth and you drive wonderfully through nature. The only problem: there are many small stones that often lie on the way. That's why I don't really dare to drive backwards. Thank you again for your video. It's always nice and feels like you're riding right next to you. ♥️♥️♥️
I skate at a secluded park in the early morning. There is usually a few cars so I can practice safely until I’m good to skate with a lot of noise and distractions
I’ve been skating outside for years and this is still very helpful information. Thank you!!
This is so helpful!! Thank you so much and you are such a ROCKSTAR
So simple and straightforward! Gets me excited to get back out
I absolutely love your energy. Please keep the videos coming. 💚
I love the outdoor sounds... would love to be outside right now...
These are such great tips! Skating outside is my goal, so I will be practicing these tips! Looking forward to your next video because where I live is a little hilly, and I could use tips on controlling speed. Thanks for everything!
Im from the Bahamas.and just got my roller skates.i practice on our park daily. I watch you and try my best.so continue im enjoying this.yes, im a nurse at a psychiatric hospital.Skating is awsome
It take s my mind of Corona
Thank you! You do such a great job explaining and showing in your videos. Very helpful!
I like skating the local neighborhoods, they are easy to learn techniques and they usually have good hills! Also another great video! Very helpful and the quality was still good! Dont worry too much, we love you!
You make it look so easy that's why you a "grand master roller"✌
ahahhahaha! Thank you :)
I love the variety of content you provide! Thanks for another great video!
Very good Déborah in the car park, it feels really good see you skating with one foot in front of the other and the new leg changes you made by alternating the back of the foot to the front. New harder exercises. I really enjoyed seeing you walking and going up and down the sidewalk curb. That method of climbing stairs while standing still I can do. I will continue to see all your new videos that you publish Déborah. Have a good day on Friday the 17th. Hugs from Jaime Reis.
I'm on day 2 of practice and my inner thighs are reallly feeling the scissor motion 🦵🏾
I love your videos and energy✨💖✨. AWESOME tutorial! Practice makes progress👍🏽. More outdoor videos please. Thank you 😊 Deborah and cam dude!
Thank you so much! I will do my best.
Thank you so much! That's my favorite place to skate now that the sun is coming back out here in lb! Still love all of your videos.
So so so so so glad I found this video and your channel! I was outside yesterday and can't wait to get out tomorrow after watching this video a million more times! Thank you for putting this out there - skating in Long Beach!
Love your video so informative! Thank you!! Xoxo
I'm interested in quick directional changes/dodges. Are there efficient ways to do that? Running in grass [bailing] is not much of an option where I am [in NYC].
Yeah what Shilvio said!!! Lol, I'm in Cleveland, OH, so this applies to me as well. =)
Great video suggestions!! I will do this!
In the meantime, I found planetrollerskate's video on this really helpful!
@@AJDwatching link please
Yeah seem like the only skating ring is the peir downtown Brooklyn their no indoor rink
You guys!! I just love, love, love your videos!
I TOTALLY enjoyed this video!
(like all your other videos)
Appreciate your time, effort, and knowledge invested into the videos ❤
Pretty skates! What kind are they?
Great advice. Also, a mic 🎤 muff is just essential when filming outside.
But great job, I can’t wait for more from you. Your obvious love of skating and teaching really comes through. 👍🏼
I need to find outdoor areas with smooth pavement. The parking lot and trail I tried earlier had too many pebbles.
I love your energy ❤️ you give me confidence, I skated my best outside tonight after watching some of your videos last night.
You are awesome. Thank you for the tutorials.
And thanks to Xavier too.
Nice! Going outside now!
Perfect video for alternative skating (outdoors) during covid SIP and our favorite rinks closed. Tell us about outdoor wheels, like I use road hogs and skate stops...much thx
ua-cam.com/video/Squ5txgrFcI/v-deo.html Watch this video :)
This is so incredibly helpful, I can't thank you enough for making this!!!! I am so excited about the rest of the outdoor skating series!!! You are amazing, thank you so much for everything you do!!!! :)
Love, Lauren
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! THANK YOU! i was using techniques from when i would indoor skate as a child, i picked up roller skating about 3 weeks ago and have been binge watching your videos but this one is the BEST one i’ve watched so far!! thank you for the videos!!!!
could you please put a little tutorial how to go over those cheese graters? the yellow metal plates with all the bumps on them. i’m terrified to go over them. I actually skate at a local highschool! so much open space with the tennis&basketball courts
I skate tennis courts too
Thank you, Deborah. Another great video. I've shared it on our outdoor skating Facebook group.
I recently ordered roller skates. They haven’t even come in the mail yet but I’ve been watching your videos in preparation! I just wanted to say you’re a great teacher and say everything so clearly and in a way that’s easy to understand!
Awesome! Thank you!
“It’s almost that time when the weirdos come out.”
Bahahhahahahahhahahah!!!!!
It is the truth! They come crawling out from their holes! LOL! I can still skate but they will try to talk to me, get in the video, yell at me! LOL!
@@Dirtydeborahharryexactly what time is it?
You are so informative. I got skates purely for skating to high school but I had trouble bc I didn't know how to properly stride and place my feet (I also thought the roads were way too damaged and crunchy. But i guess you can go through those!!) And I learned so much from this video And the other one you did. You are truly amazing And I hope you never stop these vids.
Thanks Deborah I've new and have been watching ALL of your videos since I ordered my new skates🤩 cant wait till they arrive and I can practice all of this🙏🏻
I’m so grateful that you share these lessons! I have improved immensely from your tutorials. I am so incredibly grateful. I appreciate you so much .
I can't get over the squeaking when she runs over the grass it's hilarious
U should make a video on jam plugs or just different types of toe stops
will do!
Great idea. I stopped using toe stops when I first began training on the banked track for the Roller Derby. Inadvertently, it forced me to become a much better skater, having not to depend on my toe stops. My balance substantially improved. Hockey stop both forward & backward too
You're an amazing and beautiful teacher ! Thank you so much ! Kisses from France
Best roller skate teacher! I'm new into roller skating (just 2 weeks) and have watched tons of videos so far, you're the best! So clear and explanatory, thanks a million!
new skater and just realize my outdoor technique was the same as my indoor technique which resulted in me plowing into my own car in the parking lot LMAOOO (im fine lol)
Glad you’re ok 😩🤘🏽 im workin on my stops too. broke my finger last year cus i flew onto someone’s front lawn 😭😭 can’t have that again
