Roller Skating defined my youth...as a youngster in the 6th grade everyone that was cool was at the local rink. I was afraid of what others would say about me because I didn't know how to skate. Took the plunge, over the weeks and months until I mastered the art. 1 year later at the local rink I got a job there and before I knew it I was teaching lessons and on the local Roller Hockey Team. That was in the early 1970's and I've been skating ever since. 65 in 2022 and still two-stepping. Never to young or to old. Great Video.
Veronika Warshel they’re called i think cal 7 or something they were on the cheaper side $50 instead of expensive impala ones, i’ve heard mixed reviews so we’ll see!!
Dirty, you are a treasure. I am in my 30's and relearning to roller skate, your videos are so helpful for us newbies or people coming back after decades. Thank you so so much!
Same! In my 30's trying to relearn! Yesterday I tried without watching any videos and I lasted 5 minutes and my ass hurts from falling so much. I'm trying again today after watching this.
I went roller skating for the first time in 28 years last week and had a blast!! I was rusty but it started to come back and thanks to these videos, I did pretty good, all things considered!!
@@Dirtydeborahharry I agree whole heartedly. Thank you so much for the helpful and informative video. As a beginner, this helped make skating less scarier than I thought and easy to understand. 🙏🏿❤
I love this woman! She just seems to be so fun and “real” and down-to-earth and like she’s just a direct straight-talking type of person-like she’ll trash talk to you, but you’d laugh and enjoy it. This was one of the better beginner skater videos I’ve seen! This lesson video was enjoyable!
@@Dirtydeborahharry Deborah wish you a good weekend. And thanks for the many help you have given me, despite the distance we are. Thanks to the new technologies you have helped me. Now what I really liked was having your help there in your ring. I train as I can Deborah.
Thank you!! Decided to go roller skating for the first time in 8 years, and found your tutorial helped me remember the most tips. The ones about dropping the hips low and shifting your weight to move were big tips that none of other skating tutorials made clear. In the two hours I skated, I only fell once! Thank you for creating such an engaging, memorable video!!
This is the best quick-start video on TH-cam. I watched this a few times, then hit the roller rink for the first time and had a great time. Debbie's a great teacher - explains things in a way that you remember them, is funny, and the camera work is good. My friends at the rink asked me how I learned so fast and I just told them "High beams on, snack zone in, fun zone out" (I'm sure I'm misquoting Debbie a bit, but I got the gist!)
I saw my friend roller skating on his Snapchat story and wondered “hmm I’ve never tried that. I want to learn.” Then, I go on TH-cam and THIS is recommended to me??? EXPLAIN. I never typed out or said anything out loud. I just THOUGHT it.
I’ve never heard someone explain the basic movement as shifting body weight. I just started skating and have had a hard time establishing that movement, but this explains a lot of what I was missing. I’m going to the rink tomorrow and can’t wait to try!
Thank you for this tutorial! Your instructions make so much sense and explain why I wasn’t “skating” but trying to walk on skates! I can’t wait to practice with what I learned here!
I was complaining to my mom how she never had me learn any fun skills... then she pulls out a whole album of me skating as a child and now here I am in my 20s about to skate again 🤞 let’s hope I don’t break any bones great tips
Chin up, shoulders straight, stomach core tight, arms out, palms down, drop your hips and bend your knees. Transfer body weight from left to right side to side, feet in a V-position. Practice, practice consistently. Do not look down! (I tend to do that when skating backwards). I enjoyed the video and learn a lot from repetition drills and making it fun. Nice Gold Glitter Stardust skates...(-:
Finally started skating yesterday, using your tutorials, and I only fell over three times in one hour. I don't know if that's impressive or not, but it's darn good for me!
My children just took an interest in skating. I told them you just woke a sleeping giant. I know how to skate very well but didn't know how to "teach" them. Your videos are AWESOME! You put into words what I can't verbalize to describe what I'm doing when I skate. Thank you.
Keep it up. YOu must get your brain and body on the same wave length. Your mind will fight you in order to "save" your body. Once they come together ... magic :)
@@Dirtydeborahharry amazing tip! Great to hear that - Just finished my first day being on my skates in the living room :D I am a sweaty mess and I only managed to get one good stride in but I'm excited to keep trying. So excited to be skating on the streets or in the rink some day. Love your videos
That ten minutes a day practice goes a LONG WAY!! A week into it and it becomes more comfortable and 'second nature' each time I put my skates on. Thank you 🙏🤘
@@annsanders143 I did my own research and found out Impala has really good hybrid skates! The wheels are versatile for both indoor and outdoor skating, and those are the ones I bought! Mine came in the mail yesterday and they are so comfortable and high quality I definitely recommend them! PLUS they are having a sale right now so their 100 dollar skates are like half off, and if you have afterpay and stuff you can even do payment plans :>> I hope this is helpful!
Awesome! I'm 57 and bought skates for exercise and it's been a long time since I skated. You taught me things in this video that I never learned before. I think this is going to help me a lot. You got a new subscriber!
This woman is an INCREDIBLE, natural teacher with a hilarious and great witty personality! She deserves her own TV show hahaha! Also, I will forever be referring to my stomach as my "snack area" from now on
Akaashi Keiji...I know, my daughter definitely leveled up after watching this video. This is my first roller skate video so I'll have to watch more so I can learn with her-I don't know how to skate yet either:)
My FBI agent definitely threw this into my recommended video section after hearing me say I wanted to go roller skating for my bday...hmmm, thanks I guess lol
Thank you, I’m a beginner skater and by far this is the best explanation I’ve ever heard or seen. I really appreciate you. I was afraid but not anymore and 10 minutes a day is great for me😀
@@Dirtydeborahharrythis is also the best explanation in my opinion too because people just tell me push out and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do that kind of thing in roller skates
I went skating with friends the other day and I’m a VERY terrible skater. They were trying to show me how to move correctly but I just couldn’t get it. But watching your tutorial has made me want to practice at home to. I plan on buying skates this summer so I can practice because I hate being the only one out of my friends who can’t skate and it’s embarrassing 😭
Sore reminder that I wasn’t taught right the first time. I Bambi’d pretty terribly yesterday but I’ll try it again! Thank you so much! Having joint problems I just need something that’s more fun than walking. Hopefully I’ll build some better core muscles to get better at skating! 🥰💚✨🌈☁️
watched this right before going out on my rollerskates for the first time at age 28. I'm amazed I picked it up as quickly as I did and it's all because of the video, thank you Dirty Deborah!
I can't order mine yet so I'm geeking out on these videos while I (have to) wait. Think my time spent watching them will help me when they finally arrive?
Hi 🙋🏻♀️ when I was young I loved skating!! Today I bought a pair of skates and I am so excited to have them!!! So I found your channel and I am learning or "refresh" the theory this Thursday I will practice 👍🏼 thank you for my first lesson xoxo 💋
I started practicing for the first time ever just three days ago and fell terrified and made no progress. I then watched this video and LOVED IT! It spoke to me in ways other videos or people couldn't, I finally understood what my body needed to be doing! I only practiced once after this video and it was amazing!! I moved much more and much more confident too! Can't wait to watch the rest
I just started skating two days ago and man the first day was rough, totally fell onto my back. But I'm so glad to have found this video. So many useful tips esp with the shifting of weight from side to side. Can't wait to try some more tomorrow!
I took one of Deb’s beginner classes for adults at Pigeon’s. She was able to fabulously teach all the basics in one class. And when she was showing us how to stop, she literally stopped precisely three inches from my face. It was awesome!
"when you look at your feet, i swear to god, they get performance anxiety" lol me today. I skated after 10 years of not doing so and i made the mistake of doing that. definitely did get that lol
This is my second day practice and I was finally able to move forward lol thank you so much this video helped me. On the first day I kept moving backwards but glad I made major improvement
Thank you so much! My daughter who is 6 learned by watching you. First day we watched the video (Tuesday) next day she already picked it up and is literally skating today. My ex's brother shared this video with us and I am so glad he did.
JillyBean860...I know right! My favorite line out of the whole video! My daughter and I were watching this today after I decided clearly we needed some help since I didn't know how to skate and yet I was trying to teach her to skate...yeah that didn't work so well...fast forward to us sitting in the grass watching this video and both laughing as she said that line! Cracked me up! My daughter and I both learned something new today because of this video and got a laugh in as well! ~MYSTIC RS~ MY MYSTICAL CHANNEL
I love your channel!!! The way you describe/break down the steps make it a breeze when I’m skating!!! I’m a beginner, don’t practice too often, but i try to utilize her techniques and I’m getting smooth and finding my rhythm. Bless you. I truly enjoy it and feel a thrill and sense of accomplishment after skating🥰🥰🥰
Same lol, I just went ahead and asked for skates anyways (got them a couple weeks ago) because I feel like it’ll be fun to learn and it’ll definitely be fun when I get better at it. 😌
I promise you,when you at the rink. no one is paying you any attention. And if they are, they're helpful. And you're not gonna get good unless you practice. Best of luck
Just purchased my 1st ever pair of skates. Currently in my living room with these new skates on trying to practise lol. This lady is VERY good at teaching, very clear instructions and I feel I am learning quick through the teachings of this lady - so thank you very much. And good luck and happy skating to any new beginner skaters out there :)
I just got invited to an adult skating party tonight. I haven't had skates on in 21 years. There is a whole person who can drink's worth of time standing between me and my last skating experience. You are my desperate attempt to prepare myself in the 4 hours I have until this event. Bless you for these simple and easy-to-follow tips!
Thank you so much❤. I am 50 years old and haven’t skated since the early 90s. Your video has given me hope since I just purchased a pair of skates to enjoy with my grad kids.
I picked up roller skating as a hobby to stop going insane from quarentine, bought my very first pair today and this was actually very helpfull. Thanks
This was definitely the most thorough tutorial ive found so far.! Explaining the nuances of the terms everyone throws out there (i.e. "Bend your knees") was so helpful. Stoked to try my skates for the first time since age 10 :) Thank you!
Dirty, you're a FANTASTIC teacher! I'm a 52 year old who recently rediscovered the fun of rollerskating after 40 years! Because I was self-taught all those years ago, I never learned the technical moves or wheels 101. Your channel has been SO HELPFUL to walk me through the basics and educate in a totally fun and completely understandable way. Your enthusiasm and humor are awesome, and I'm learning so much from you! I'm buying my first pair of skates soon and looking forward to practicing everything you've taught. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! All the best from Vancouver, BC
I just want to let you know: because of your wonderful videos I overcame my fear and ordered my first pair of rollerskates today. I am scared but also excited. For sure your videos are what will me help so much on my journey now. ❤️ Thank you for what you do.
@@chaoticcatastrophe772 It goes really well! I lost my fear of falling. ❤️ I enjoy the movement and it makes me happy. Still progressing but I am so glad I started to do it. 🤗
@@sparklejumpropequeen05 Hey my dear, thanks for asking! It went pretty well, I was so confident when starting because of the videos and very fast was able to drive and try some things. Most of all I just love rolling around, enjoying the wind in my hair and see people smile when they see the rollerskates. Often prople turn around because you do not see rollerskates very often here. 😁 Some prople even started a very nice talk with me. I am happy to bring people joy somehow. That is a beautiful thing, especially these days. ❤️
I just want to thank you, your great. I am a 3x cancer survivor, who hasn’t been on skates in 45 years lol, thought my body would just remember, ahh nope 🤣 So I am watching this vid, and it showed me what I had right and what I had wrong, my ortho doc thinks I’m crazy, but I have always loved skating. I am literally doing this to save my own life, so thank. you for doing what you do, just remember you never know who your positive vids are reaching.
I used to go to roller rinks with friends when I was a kid and I was pretty good back then, my gramma bought me a new pair of rollerskates last week and I've even practicing everyday! Your videos have been so helpful and so encouraging!! 🤩🥰 thank you so much for making the task of learning seem less daunting and for being an awesome, fun, friendly face to learn with! 🥳 Also, when you said "keep your feet in a 'V' formation" I thought "perfect! I'm duck footed anyway 🤣" lol finally a sport I was built for 😍
I am taking all of your lessons at 55 and getting back into this after so many years. I am very dedicated to this and will follow you to get better. Thank You Deb!
And of course I have a bday party tonight to attend and it's a rollerskating party. Never done it. Found this video. Your delivery is warm and fun and put me at ease about the basics. I'm gonna screw it up and plan to be bruised tomorrow, but you made me a bit less scared. Thanks for that. :D
Lol! Yeah I have to go to my Bffs party and it’s a rollerskating party! I have no clue how to skate!!! So I look up at some videos! I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t know how to skate, but Im pretty sure I’m not the only one though!
Best instruction video. I've been skating for years, but I'm finding myself teaching my children's friends. With your instruction, the teaching is easier, faster & fun.
Nadia ... that is very common. Please put the skates on and just focus on rising up and then bending your knees while looking ahead and tightening up your core. Just focus on balance and not rolling at all. Then ... get on the ground and practice getting up. Over and over till it becomes second nature.
don’t know if you still have this problem but stand one foot on your toestop and take a deep breath, if you think you’re gonna fall, fair chances are, you’re gonna fall.
she's so engaging I just nod dumbly at everything she says like "Yes Debbie. Okay Debbie ill do that."
hahahah! That is awesome :)
Ye and I love her accent ✨👌
😂 that's precious
This is especially funny because I've had 2 bosses named Debbie hahaah😂 there's just something special about that name. It's even in the bible huh😉💕😘😄

I like that not only is she teaching us how to skate...but also how to look good while skating...that's a teacher I can respect
Yah respect
Respect for our queen
Exactly! I love her!
She has a queen vibe!

Omg I’m 37 and I have to want to learn.
Could never skate tried for years too late now

I’ve never heard someone explain the basic movement as shifting body weight.

Tonight was only my second time, and I've learned that confidence is everything.
TheGozzila yes, the more confidence the better lol
haha yes! when i took lessons i soon learned that it was ok to fall, that's what other people were doing too. i'm not the only one.
ang6l !! Watch me just make myself fall so my brain registers, “you wont die your just friggen dramatic”
Currently in quarantine. Has anyone noticed there’s a shortage of EVERYTHING? Bikes, skates, scooters, etc.
Yeah, people are bored out of their minds because they’ve never had to entertain themselves for this long
I ordered my roller skates at the end of July and they just arrived today.
V Kelly oooh! Have fun! Don’t be afraid to fall! XD
V Kelly same!
Everything.. i mean shit that no one has ever needed is currently out of stock lol
I came because every time I skate I look like a dead roach😂😂😂😂
Omg same 🤣🤣
Sore reminder that I wasn’t taught right the first time. I Bambi’d pretty terribly yesterday but I’ll try it again! Thank you so much! Having joint problems I just need something that’s more fun than walking. Hopefully I’ll build some better core muscles to get better at skating! 🥰💚✨🌈☁️
watched this right before going out on my rollerskates for the first time at age 28. I'm amazed I picked it up as quickly as I did and it's all because of the video, thank you Dirty Deborah!
I can't order mine yet so I'm geeking out on these videos while I (have to) wait. Think my time spent watching them will help me when they finally arrive?
Hi 🙋🏻♀️ when I was young I loved skating!! Today I bought a pair of skates and I am so excited to have them!!! So I found your channel and I am learning or "refresh" the theory this Thursday I will practice 👍🏼 thank you for my first lesson xoxo 💋
My girlfriend invited me to go skating and I said I know how I’m screwed
gio how did it go?
UPDATE
@@uhoh7592 Well... Look at his profile pic we now he bust his ass...
GIO YOU NEVER TOLD US HOW IT WENT
niqqa straight up died
I started practicing for the first time ever just three days ago and fell terrified and made no progress. I then watched this video and LOVED IT! It spoke to me in ways other videos or people couldn't, I finally understood what my body needed to be doing! I only practiced once after this video and it was amazing!! I moved much more and much more confident too! Can't wait to watch the rest
I just started skating two days ago and man the first day was rough, totally fell onto my back. But I'm so glad to have found this video. So many useful tips esp with the shifting of weight from side to side. Can't wait to try some more tomorrow!
You got this!
I automatically liked this woman
Can you make a tutorial for spinning on rollerskates? Your videos are so helpful I couldn't find any good videos except yours you explain so good!
Absolutely !!!
T H I C C
Woah 1.2K thanks✌🏾
Ok....taking this comment as a compliment ;)
@Scarlett Playzz mind your own business
@Louis Williams Thanks! Built with carbs and roller skating!
Thought I was the only one that noticed lol😍😍😍👌🏽
@@ronstgrs roller skate. eat carbs. repeat. smile.
I took one of Deb’s beginner classes for adults at Pigeon’s. She was able to fabulously teach all the basics in one class. And when she was showing us how to stop, she literally stopped precisely three inches from my face. It was awesome!
"when you look at your feet, i swear to god, they get performance anxiety" lol me today. I skated after 10 years of not doing so and i made the mistake of doing that. definitely did get that lol
Omg u sound like sandra Bullock on bird box "Oh My God Dont Look Down" 😂😂 Great video😊
ok ...now I am going to go see that movie :)
Dirty School of Skate XD
Be careful it’s a horror one
I watched that movie and I'm 8 lol
This is my second day practice and I was finally able to move forward lol thank you so much this video helped me. On the first day I kept moving backwards but glad I made major improvement
Fantastic!
Thank you so much! My daughter who is 6 learned by watching you. First day we watched the video (Tuesday) next day she already picked it up and is literally skating today. My ex's brother shared this video with us and I am so glad he did.
me standing in my garage trying to learn how to skate as a coping mechanism during this awful time🥱
I like the way you think!
Waitin for my skates currently, but when i get them imma probs roll around my house and annoy everyone who lives here lmaoo
EclipseE2 me
Yea I just bought some from amazon but don’t know how to
EclipseE2 same my mom like how u gone skate inside you gone hurt yourself and I said well I feel better using them inside till I actually learn 😂
I got my first pair of skates and I’m literally just gonna be wearing them around the house and to go around the block because corona
That is awesome!!!!
It b like that tho
Sounds fun
Me right now!
Same mine just came in and I'm so having fun but struggling at the same time lol
"You gotta sit your ass down"
This lady is cracking me up. 😂
JillyBean860...I know right! My favorite line out of the whole video! My daughter and I were watching this today after I decided clearly we needed some help since I didn't know how to skate and yet I was trying to teach her to skate...yeah that didn't work so well...fast forward to us sitting in the grass watching this video and both laughing as she said that line! Cracked me up! My daughter and I both learned something new today because of this video and got a laugh in as well!
~MYSTIC RS~
MY MYSTICAL CHANNEL
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I love your channel!!! The way you describe/break down the steps make it a breeze when I’m skating!!! I’m a beginner, don’t practice too often, but i try to utilize her techniques and I’m getting smooth and finding my rhythm. Bless you. I truly enjoy it and feel a thrill and sense of accomplishment after skating🥰🥰🥰
I love how she says “you gotta sit yo ass down”🤣🤣 I died
I want to skate but I don’t like people watching me until I’m actually good at it😔🤧
same!
Same lol, I just went ahead and asked for skates anyways (got them a couple weeks ago) because I feel like it’ll be fun to learn and it’ll definitely be fun when I get better at it. 😌
I promise you,when you at the rink. no one is paying you any attention. And if they are, they're helpful. And you're not gonna get good unless you practice. Best of luck
Same
Just do it at home! That’s what I do. I’m terrified of people watching me so I learn at home and then when I finally get good I’ll go out
Just purchased my 1st ever pair of skates. Currently in my living room with these new skates on trying to practise lol. This lady is VERY good at teaching, very clear instructions and I feel I am learning quick through the teachings of this lady - so thank you very much. And good luck and happy skating to any new beginner skaters out there :)
How's it going 5 months later?
You mufuken fool🤣. I 🖤U!🤣🤣🤣👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
I just got invited to an adult skating party tonight. I haven't had skates on in 21 years. There is a whole person who can drink's worth of time standing between me and my last skating experience. You are my desperate attempt to prepare myself in the 4 hours I have until this event. Bless you for these simple and easy-to-follow tips!
I am literally outside trying to skate right now. I followed your video and was able to skate. Thank you for the quick lesson! Now I’m more confident
“Snack area” lmao love your personality already
I just ate cake.
"At work wherever you want"
I'm looking at you Sonic
Fix your ice cream machine
ARMYYYYY (i think?)
I just started skating yesterday and I dropped an order of food
Chimmy icon 😍
Why did I think of the blue hedgehog ☠️☠️☠️
Thank you so much❤. I am 50 years old and haven’t skated since the early 90s. Your video has given me hope since I just purchased a pair of skates to enjoy with my grad kids.
I honestly learned on this TH-cam channel I came back to watch again
Yay!!!!
I picked up roller skating as a hobby to stop going insane from quarentine, bought my very first pair today and this was actually very helpfull. Thanks
This was definitely the most thorough tutorial ive found so far.! Explaining the nuances of the terms everyone throws out there (i.e. "Bend your knees") was so helpful. Stoked to try my skates for the first time since age 10 :) Thank you!
Dirty, you're a FANTASTIC teacher! I'm a 52 year old who recently rediscovered the fun of rollerskating after 40 years! Because I was self-taught all those years ago, I never learned the technical moves or wheels 101. Your channel has been SO HELPFUL to walk me through the basics and educate in a totally fun and completely understandable way. Your enthusiasm and humor are awesome, and I'm learning so much from you! I'm buying my first pair of skates soon and looking forward to practicing everything you've taught. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! All the best from Vancouver, BC
"Dont stare at your feet" well jokes on you i can't even see my feet because of my chest 😂 but in all seriousness thank you for this
oh my god same LMAO i hate my chest so muchhh-
My flat self is jealous :’>
Frr I wanna be flat
@@fraise_fraud Or she just has a large bust? Relax there bud lol
Nicceee nothing wrong with being busty 😁😁😁😁😁
Am I the only one who can turn well and skate but can’t fricking stop without crashing into a wall?
Kerri Lee I felt that
Nah u not alone
SAME!!!!
Mia E.G drag your foot behind you
your not alone
I just want to let you know: because of your wonderful videos I overcame my fear and ordered my first pair of rollerskates today. I am scared but also excited. For sure your videos are what will me help so much on my journey now. ❤️ Thank you for what you do.
Hey! How's your progress going?
@@chaoticcatastrophe772 It goes really well! I lost my fear of falling. ❤️ I enjoy the movement and it makes me happy. Still progressing but I am so glad I started to do it. 🤗
@@MagdalenaMantler how's it going now?
@@sparklejumpropequeen05 Hey my dear, thanks for asking! It went pretty well, I was so confident when starting because of the videos and very fast was able to drive and try some things. Most of all I just love rolling around, enjoying the wind in my hair and see people smile when they see the rollerskates. Often prople turn around because you do not see rollerskates very often here. 😁 Some prople even started a very nice talk with me. I am happy to bring people joy somehow. That is a beautiful thing, especially these days. ❤️
@@MagdalenaMantler I'm so happy for you :)
I just want to thank you, your great. I am a 3x cancer survivor, who hasn’t been on skates in 45 years lol, thought my body would just remember, ahh nope 🤣 So I am watching this vid, and it showed me what I had right and what I had wrong, my ortho doc thinks I’m crazy, but I have always loved skating. I am literally doing this to save my own life, so thank. you for doing what you do, just remember you never know who your positive vids are reaching.
I used to be great at rollerblading when I was younger so I though roller skating wouldn’t be that difficult... BOY WAS I WRONG
Same here🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Figuring that out now as well
HAHAHA SAME!!!
Omg same
right?! they’re so different
I’m the only person who isn’t here because of a party 😭 I just really wanna learn
girl same
Same sis
same Sis. It has been decades and I need a refresher
I just want to learn. I don't even want to go to a skating rink. I just want to freely skate in my parking lot this spring & summer.
I love how she is explaining and showings us how to roller skate💗✨
I used to go to roller rinks with friends when I was a kid and I was pretty good back then, my gramma bought me a new pair of rollerskates last week and I've even practicing everyday! Your videos have been so helpful and so encouraging!! 🤩🥰 thank you so much for making the task of learning seem less daunting and for being an awesome, fun, friendly face to learn with! 🥳
Also, when you said "keep your feet in a 'V' formation" I thought "perfect! I'm duck footed anyway 🤣" lol finally a sport I was built for 😍
I am taking all of your lessons at 55 and getting back into this after so many years. I am very dedicated to this and will follow you to get better. Thank You Deb!
i’m currently watching this video while i am with my skates on and just learnt how to stand up in them without falling, here i go 🥳🤘
You can do it!
party time my guy lmao
And of course I have a bday party tonight to attend and it's a rollerskating party. Never done it. Found this video. Your delivery is warm and fun and put me at ease about the basics. I'm gonna screw it up and plan to be bruised tomorrow, but you made me a bit less scared. Thanks for that. :D
phuturephunk how did it go lmaoo
Awwww :) This is the greatest! So happy for you. Can't wait to hear how it went.
Yes how did it go??
Lol! Yeah I have to go to my Bffs party and it’s a rollerskating party! I have no clue how to skate!!! So I look up at some videos! I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t know how to skate, but Im pretty sure I’m not the only one though!
@@khairirodriguez5428 You are in good company! Have fun. Keep hips low, knee flexible and chin up. If you fall, get up right away and laugh a lot!
Best instruction video. I've been skating for years, but I'm finding myself teaching my children's friends. With your instruction, the teaching is easier, faster & fun.
Me, who can’t even stand up in my skates without shaking: 👁👄👁
Nadia ... that is very common. Please put the skates on and just focus on rising up and then bending your knees while looking ahead and tightening up your core. Just focus on balance and not rolling at all. Then ... get on the ground and practice getting up. Over and over till it becomes second nature.
don’t know if you still have this problem but stand one foot on your toestop and take a deep breath, if you think you’re gonna fall, fair chances are, you’re gonna fall.
This, whenever I ice skate, I use to force myself to drop at the beginning, so I wasn’t afraid to drop, once I got rid of that fear, I never dropped.
@@rollthedice5682 my mom says that
@@Dirtydeborahharry I haven’t skates in three years and my mums friend from work gave me her daughter S because she doesn’t use them
