Hold Up! Can we please take the time out to appreciate Debbie's outfit?! Girl, you look good. I love the way you match your skates, with your gear, and your outfit. As always, thank you for the helpful and informative video.
Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooo much! I seriously try to put it together and I struggle every single time I film. I feel like ... damn it ... if people are gonna watch ... I have got to look like I care! LOL!
You are the sole reason that I have not injured myself skating outdoors. I'm just an indoor skater who is navigating life outdoors on wheels. Thanks mom! You're the best!!!!
Keep the videos coming! I'm an old Fountain Valley girl, who now resides in Auckland, New Zealand. I use to skate heaps until my 20's and now 30 years later you've inspired me to get back to it. So far four months in and I'm finding my feet again. Thank you for helping!!
Had to watch this a second time because I was distracted by the po-po's behind you the first time. 😄 Thank you so much for putting all of these tips online, Dirty Deborah! You are an excellent teacher. 👍
Dirty you are the BEST. I freaking love you so much. Wish I'd watched this before I sprained my knee when I first started in August. I tell everyone who asks about skating to watch your videos. Without you I'd still be having rookie injuries and probably would have given up by now. Big love and massive respect from soggy, damp Ireland (where people mostly skate in their kitchens) P.s. when I'm down I watch your channel, you're a tonic Meadhbh 💚
I’m chicken when I see curbs I need to jump off and I always go for the safe option getting down but when I give myself faith and confidence I do just fine… it’s not scary I’m just in my own head lol!
I’ve been wanting to try skating off a curb but it seems so scary. I’m scared I might slip under and hit my head on the curb. But I would of course be wearing my S1 helmet! One day I hope to face my fear and try it!
Helpful video as always! Since so many of us are starting to skate outdoors, can you make a video on how to come down driveway ramps and how to approach debris and uneven pavement?
Hey dirty deb. I recently got new skates about a week ago? And I have been roller skating everyday for like an hour I already know how to toe stop! I also know how to roller skate on bumpy surfaces with the help of your videos and planet roller skate, I am soon going roller-skating around my neighborhood and there are lots of curbs so this video is so so so helpful. Thank you so much for teaching me how to roller skate 😁
Hey DD great video as always Curbs lol I used to be so scared of them when first skating outdoors ..but as with everything practise makes perfect. ✌💙💜💛💚💖💟
Love you Dirty thank you!! A few times now I just put my faith in my skates and did it. This week I was practicing curbs, one up one down and shifting weight; tomorrow I’m going to nail this staggered skates and straight off the edge 👌🏻. I ❤️ your tie dye sweater from SureGrip, do they sell this apparel you share with us online? Love the colours and you always look amazing 🤗. I am also struggling trying to work my left non-dominant foot/leg and get it out front, but it sneaks back lol any tips or more drills? Wish I was ambidextrous in the foot department 🌸
You are most welcome! I am putting some new SG stuff on at wickedskatewear.com. I will announce when it goes up. As for your non-dom leg, that is soooo common for it to sneak back. Just work on it every single time you skate. The inner thigh muscles will begin to respond.
I just broke my leg whilst skating at a skate park. What an experience for first time! I don’t really want to go to skate parks so I won’t go again unless I get better. I’ll be back to skating during Christmas! Here’s what happened. I went down a ramp into one going up. As you do I lifted my body a little bit to help go up the ramp. But I did it to early and to much and fell backwards. My skates though griped to the ground and I twisted my leg like a cartoon character
Debbie! I roller skated outside for the first time today and i encountered these really wide sidewalk cracks or spaces between the squares in the sidewalk.. I fell on my butt both times, how do I go over these sidewalk cracks without hurting my booty?
It was day 2 on my new skates yesterday, I was going at the curbs all wrong! Thank you!! One thing I'm experiencing after skating is hip and tailbone soreness. Are there any stretches I can do beforehand to help this? Does it get better over time or am I going at this too rough?
I wear my helmet and sometimes I don't wear my helmet. Sometimes I wear it for safety reasons and sometimes I wear it because I like the way it looks (no joke). If you are considering no wearing it, just make sure that you are at a level of skill where there is little to no chance of your falling backward.
Hi Deborah, I would really like to have skating lessons with you there in that park once. I'm pretty sure I would learn more quickly. Deborah, you wear a green helmet, which is the color of the football club I'm a fan of (Sporting). 
Mommy Debra, I need help! I'm a little over a month into street skating and I am having problems with steep sidewalk hills. I am having trouble figuring out how to descend at a controlled speed. I can't do plow stops because the spaces in the pavement mess me up. I am having trouble going backward and riding the toe stop because of the spaces as well. I prefer to be in the street but sometimes I cannot. What do you suggest? Thank you :)
Hello sweet child 😉 Okay ... first off congratulations for getting to this point in a little over a month! I am impressed. Now ... continue practicing going down backward but I want you to try putting a lot of weight on the front bended knee and doing little baby hops over the cracks in the sidewalk. I will do a video on this too. Essentially, your back skate will "reach" over the crack and then your front foot lifts over it (tiny, tiny baby hop). You can do this if you are already able to skate backward down the hill. I promise. Go practice and let me know how it goes.
@@Dirtydeborahharry Thank you Mama Debra!!!! I'll do as you suggest and I'll look forward to the vid. You've helped me so much with skating and I can't thank you enough. 😊😄
OMG!!..This is so Me and my skate squad #lasskatingchingonas #209_chicanagmask8s We are all new at skating and we only have the streets to skate on . I believe I commented about us in another video. We are from the 209 area and we ARE BRINGING ROLLER SKATING BACK!!..with my 48 year old grandma self!!...LOL
@@Yorufan7 idk what u mean by that as long as ur foot in secure in ur skate and ur ankle is good u should be fine i skate a low boot and inclines so i have a strong ankle but yea
Skating is officially prob the easiest action sport ive done besides scootering and skateboarding especially skateboarding but yuh the falls on roller skating are so soft compared to being on a board😂😂
Hello friend Deborah, very good night, at the time of my country, it is 20 minutes to midnight. I really enjoyed receiving your text about being welcome to your large group of friends. As for me, I continue to train on roller skates every afternoon. Deborah without further adding, wishes for a good night, hugs from your friend, student Jaime Reis.
California still locking yall business down with Communistic/dictatorship tactics? Better vote Trump so that COMMIfornia can turn back into California. Great Video as well. My kids have learned how to skate SOOOO well because of you. 👍🏿Keep up the good wrok!!
Hold Up! Can we please take the time out to appreciate Debbie's outfit?! Girl, you look good. I love the way you match your skates, with your gear, and your outfit. As always, thank you for the helpful and informative video.
Same here, She looks good in any of her videos no matter what she wears!
Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooo much! I seriously try to put it together and I struggle every single time I film. I feel like ... damn it ... if people are gonna watch ... I have got to look like I care! LOL!
Appreciate this immensely as I am currently struggling with hair before I film :)
@@Dirtydeborahharry you most certainly make it look easy. Thank you for your efforts 😃❤❤❤
I freakin LOVE HER!!!
"I have my arms out straight because I don't wanna die" pretty much sums up my feelings about curbs. Thanks for the awesome refresher!
I swear you have a video for everything that I need. Thank you as always!!🙏
DD: as a skater you tend do do things slow when youre scared
me: ....wow i feel so attacked rn
Love how you call it the Snack area 🤣🛼
Always an amazing video! In the past few months I have upped my skating game by watching your lessons and tutorials!
Great to hear!
My brain and body work against me when I skate. I constantly have to remind myself to keep up speed, keep shoulders back and not look down!
Love your instructional videos, DirtyDeb! You’re an effective teacher. Concise! thank you. Great skater and, i’d say, total package all around 😘
Glad you like them!
you inspire me to skate and if i get skates for christmas im definetly going to watch all your videos to help me
Dealt with curbs for the first recently and couldn't believe how easy it was! Would not have been confident enough to try without these videos ❤️
Great to hear!
You are the sole reason that I have not injured myself skating outdoors. I'm just an indoor skater who is navigating life outdoors on wheels. Thanks mom! You're the best!!!!
YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep the videos coming! I'm an old Fountain Valley girl, who now resides in Auckland, New Zealand. I use to skate heaps until my 20's and now 30 years later you've inspired me to get back to it. So far four months in and I'm finding my feet again. Thank you for helping!!
Oh I can imagine how great it is to see bits of FV all the way in Auckland!
First! Hi Debbie, hi from England! I’m an artistic roller skater. Nice video 👍
It’s good that the first comment isn’t a stupid “FiRSt” comment
Freestyle skaters unite!
I love your upbeat attitude; it is so much fun. :)
😊 thank you
This is probably better than my stop step up thing but to get down i just skate straight off the curb and hope to stay upright lol love ya deb xxxxxx
Very good to go up and down the skating step in progress Deborah.
Had to watch this a second time because I was distracted by the po-po's behind you the first time. 😄 Thank you so much for putting all of these tips online, Dirty Deborah! You are an excellent teacher. 👍
You’re welcome 😊

Me and my 10 year old daughter love your videos, Dirty Deb! You’ve inspired us to keep practicing. Thanks for another great one! ✌️❤️
You are so welcome!
Right now I'm sick and can't rollerskate at the moment, but at least I can binge all of your content in the meantime.
Well I hope you enjoy the videos and get better soon!
thanks a lot for this informations ! delivered with a lot of fun ! curbs are less frightening because of you. take care !
Hi Dirty Debbie. I love your UA-cam video of roller skates boots
You're the best Debbie
i love everything about this video.
I’m chicken when I see curbs I need to jump off and I always go for the safe option getting down but when I give myself faith and confidence I do just fine… it’s not scary I’m just in my own head lol!
Thanks for sharing Dirty 😊 I’ve been watching your videos since March and they have helped me immensely 💕
Happy to help!
Thank you, Deborah! I have been taking the very timid approach. I definitely needed help with this! 🥰
I'm so envious of where you live. We live in the rainiest place in the world.
WHere???

Really cute from "Head to Toe Stop"

That kind of fall is super rare. Lean forward and keep your center of gravity low.

ua-cam.com/play/PLPSwwHrrD2octsCgxvhzhLGJMnIQQx9or.html I have a whole playlist for outdoors! Check it out :)
You rock can't wait to meet you next October if the rink is open by then.
I like the background picture of the channel.
It's a residual image of her inner self...

This is what I’m working on. Perfect timing! Thanks!
Are we able to get a video on crazy legs I love the way you brake down the tricks moves or transition.
I will make that video.
@@Dirtydeborahharry thank you 🙏🏽
do you have a video on shuffle skating? Would you consider talking more about what it is and how to learn different routines?
YES! When the rink opens back up for sure.
Hi Debbie😊 I've learned a lot on this video...Tysm!
Glad it was helpful!
Is very important all positions.
Hey DD great video as always
Curbs lol I used to be so scared of them when first skating outdoors ..but as with everything practise makes perfect.

Tips on safely jumping up a curb?

You SCORED! Both Sure-Grip and S1 are excellent products that will LAST! :)
I wanted to be like you deb love you're skating and all 😊
Debbie! I roller skated outside for the first time today and i encountered these really wide sidewalk cracks or spaces between the squares in the sidewalk.. I fell on my butt both times, how do I go over these sidewalk cracks without hurting my booty?
Happy feet! You gotta be prepared to pick up those feet and dance a bit over the cracks.
Thank you! Ill try that for next time!!
It was day 2 on my new skates yesterday, I was going at the curbs all wrong! Thank you!! One thing I'm experiencing after skating is hip and tailbone soreness. Are there any stretches I can do beforehand to help this? Does it get better over time or am I going at this too rough?

Hi I’m 8 I love your videos also do you know what are the best roller skates for beginners😄
SUre Grip Fame
Thank you
Haha such a cool personality 😂👊👊
Deb how do you go over street gutters? My neighborhood has some not so flat ones, making it difficult to transition from sidewalk to road.
You may need to side step or hop over them.
I just want to tell you I like your voice tone! 😊
Thank you so much 😀
I try to stagger my feet but somehow they always come side by side as I forward
please Deborah make a video on skating backwards!
I have a whole playlist on skating backward!!! CHeck it out!!!
100th video! 💯
When dirty isn’t hearting comments: somethings wrong i can feel it
I'm here! I'm here! ❤💚💛💙😉❤💚💛💙😉❤
@@Dirtydeborahharry ok
Hi Debbie, thanks for the video. Quick question, as a new skater how do you know when you no longer need to wear your helmet?
Fellow new skater here! Tony Hawk still wears his helmet, so I say if it’s good enough for him and Dirty Debra, it’s good enough for me!
Ughhhh NEVER u will always need your helmet!
I wear my helmet and sometimes I don't wear my helmet. Sometimes I wear it for safety reasons and sometimes I wear it because I like the way it looks (no joke). If you are considering no wearing it, just make sure that you are at a level of skill where there is little to no chance of your falling backward.
I met him once. I gave him my parking spot at a skatepark and forced him to take a picture with me. You can see he is no amused. hahahahahha!

Lace em like shoes
