I'm a beginner roller skater at 46 & I think Deborah's tutorials are simply fantastic. What a great instructor!
Also, the camera person is really incredible! Super smooth, they know just when to move and when to stop, and they keep everything in frame that needs to be in frame. Kudos!
And they must be skating backwards most of the time while filming. It's great!!
1975! Great generation 👏
Deborah once made a vid about her camera person - it's a lovely woman who's really skilled at skating!
Yay you're a year older than me. I feel like a beginner. Coming back to roller skating in over 30+ years. But, I have a huge background in ice skating. I've been off the ice now for about 5 or 10 years. I lost count. I'm just glad that I can roller skate outdoors, and it doesn't have to be in a rink. However, I do want to get back to a rink soon, cause I have some indoor and phenolic wheels I want to try.
@@e_lena9656 her nephew, Xavier also makes videos, when Rolielocks isn't available.
Heyyy, it’s me. “Deep into my addiction” 🤣
I’m right there with you!!!!
SAME 😜

So, why do I now have a habit of calling my stomach “Snacks” or “Snack area”? 😂😂😂
I definitely do now...my says it is annoying lol🤣🤣🤣
@@danielleellis9601 😂😂😂
Right! I picked it up too🤦🏽♀️😂😂😂😂
And the hips are the “fun zone” lmbo😂😂
@@royalt1113 , Right!! 😂😂
You’re the best thing on the Internet. Such a joy! I can’t wait til I get my skates. Thanks for all you do.
When you ran out of rink I laughed . . . at myself! I was practicing backwards skating for the first time at a rink yesterday on their practice floor, and was unfamiliar with the area. I heard you saying to keep my head up and eyes forward (from you backwards basic video--I had not yet watched this one), and I skated smack into a wall, and landed on my tailbone. Let me tell you, when a 60-something grandmother lands on her butt the first 5 minutes in a rink, every skate guard comes to check on you! I brushed myself off, skated for another 2.5 hours (without falling, and cognizant of my surroundings). Lesson learned! Thank you for your great videos and for being human in them!
I’ve learned basically everything I know about skating from you, Deb! You’re my favorite person on the internet! All my friends are getting into skating with me, and we all love getting together and watching your videos to practice. What you’ve done with this channel has meant so much to me, especially during the pandemic as I learn how to skate for the first time in my life as a 27yo. Thank you thank you thank you. 😍 You’re seriously the best and I can’t wait to take a pilgrimage to your skate center to take a class.
You're 30 now, have you made the pilgrimage?
I already know how to skate backwards. And yet...here I am. Darn you, Dirty Deb! x-D
I love how you nearly bubbled into the actual snack area 😂 Thank you for the video! I'm going to start practicing this weekend.
Luv her style of simplifying 🛼🛼😍😍
It's like you knew I was trying to skate backwards when you uploaded this video 😆 Thank you
“Chin up, look good” my new motto
Dirty! Thank you for this. I never really learned to backwards skate as a kid - just made it up as I went along. And while it kinda worked (I'm going backwards, yay!) it relied a lot on just my right leg to do the work. This will help me even it all out. Thanks and Roll On!
Same here! I taught myself by watching others at the rink and that was circa 1972-73' and then I transferred the self-taught roller skating to the ice. It's so cool to learn the basic technique. I got back on wheels a month ago. Almost like starting from scratch.
THANK YOU!!! Before watching your video, all I could do was an awkward backwards bubble. The tip about how to come up from it really helps. The best part is the match and roll tips! I had not been shifting my weight, so when I tried to skate backward, I didn't go anywhere! That and the "efficient" tip about bending your knees made it work worlds better! I had pretty much given up on being able to skate backward, so it was so exciting when I was able to do it. You're awesome!
When you do an demo can we get a side view as well please? You're an AMAZING internet teacher by the way!
Yes side views are helpful. I took classical skate lessons YEARS ago. Loved it. Now I’m 66 and wanting to have more FUN in my life.
I’m just now realizing that I don’t know when to engage heel pressure or lift for backwards skating. 🤪
Yes... Basic skills are what I need!
Oh i can't wait for my first skates to arrive. Watching your videos and love your energy 😍 looking forward to learn how to skate togheter with my little girl
Watched your video about a week ago ........Thank you for the tips!! .........I skated backwards for the first time last night with my son
😃😊😃
Using your fantastic lesson tonight. Your videos are awesome plus you're adorable.
This video just came at the right time. :) got my skates and tried them the first time yesterday. It is so awesome! So now I can try going backwards with your help. Thank you, your videos are awesome and they helped me a lot in advance already.
I love those practice videos, very helpful for me as a newbie!
Thank you. :) Trying to guess on how to skate backwards and not fall over has been the worst for me for the past month. I will practice these.
You skate so beautifully 💗
Thank you for your tutorials, they always make me feel like it's do-able 😊 thank you so much x
Wow thank you miss !!!! Em learning I can do Eis skating but roll skate is alil different!!
I love you your the best thank you for all the time you put in these videos
Thanks Dirty! I’m finally just starting to get backwards bubbles down - such a good feeling!!!
I want to always be learning more and more with you Débora.
Ya know… I get the feeling you know all of life’s secrets 😂😘… thank you Debbie I think I can apply this ⛸🤗… I’ll report back!! Best wishes, KAthryn
Hi Debbie.. I am following your videos to help me get back to skating, after knee replacement 😊
Thank you for the awesome video.
Skating has made a great comeback from the 80s. Its a great fun cardio workout.....good for the heart & all of the body muscles. Its equivalent to jogging in terms of losing body fat calorie consumption, and health benefits. I'm a little rusty but I will be practicing my bubbles. Great tutorial 👍
It worked!!! Althought the rink was PACKED I was able to practice theese techniques and my backwards skating is getting better. I naturally started doing things with my feet after going over and over and over and over it. Love this!!! I'm becoming more and more addicted.
Dirty! Your an amazing skate coach! Thank you! #SkateAddict
Hi Debra!!! I love your videos so much I binge them every night and it’s helped me so much! Could you do a tutorial on snake walks? 👀😁😁
After so many yrs I came back to skating. I love all your videos. You give me so much convince to be on my skates again. I’m practicing at home first with your videos. To get in the grove again. 😂
What a great day to have posted! I got out my skates today and tried going backwards for the first time (went pretty well might I add :)
My skates haven't arrived yet and I have already watched most of your videos. I love the energy you give us and I hope I'll be able to be a good skater soon 🥰
Picked up skates again at 44 and am addicted. Your tutorials are my fav. It’s really helpful when you explain where pressure is IN the skate, edges, etc. Thanks for that level of detail!
Love you Deb! You have made me a bit better of a skater. I am super afraid of falling on my hands because I also play guitar. I have to be super careful.
I am struggling with nerves while learning backwards skating. So hard for my 45 year old ass. So today when I got nervous, I popped your video on as hearing you teach makes me feel less nervous. Thank you.
Such a good technique to learning this!! I’ve been struggling for weeks to go backwards, I couldn’t seem to find a good tutorial until this!!! Thank you 😊
I live an hour from the nearest rink, but my new skates come Thursday (happy mother's day to me). I bought good outdoor wheels and I've watched a ton of your videos. I'm about 2.5 hours from Fountain Valley and the next time I get to Orange County I hope to make it in to say thank you in person for all your videos! I know I'll need lots of practice, but I'm way more confident that I can do this. Thanks again!
Completely loving your tutorials! One thing I’m trying to better understand in THIS is what edges are being used for the marching and for the bubbles and how are you shifting your weight for both. I feel like if I had an idea of that, I could be more targeted as I learn the different moves.
Lol... definitely music, if not a friend helped me to get my grove back. I came in last night, after roller skating around the block to Mariah. I told my wife, "Stella here, just got his grove back." My wife cracked up, saying that's talking about something else, you know? I said, I know, but I was just happy to have my confidence and sure footing, while skating, that I haven't felt since leaving the ice rink. It's the piece I've been missing, as I'm not at any rink right now, where I can listen to music. You don't realize the power music has, when it comes to skating. If I don't have music to skate to, I'm almost more often than not, afraid to take a jump. However, when I have rythm... that's it, it gives me rythm. So when I hear/feel a piece of music... I feel more safe to make a jump or move that I wouldn't do otherwise. I do skate with my son, but it's definitely not like skating with a friend of the same level. Like if he were to dare me to do something. I think I'd just laugh. I don't feel pushed to prove myself. Where if it were a friend... then I'd feel pushed. Like Dirty says here, you would be able to do more if there was a friend. Kind of like having a personal coach. So, if ya don't have a person, then definitely start playing music... being a musician, I easily get lost in the music. I don't care what people think of me then. I can't hear what they're saying, so I don't lose my self confidence to their negativity.
Yaaaaas!!! I've been looking for some "foundation first, style second" videos... thanx Dirty!!!
I can't help laughing with her together
Adding to my warm up routine! Can’t wait !
Dirty, you’ve taught me a lot! It’s finally warmed up in West Michigan and I’m skating as much as I can! You rock 🛼🛼🛼🛼🛼
I'm at the rink this week, practicing. I am close to the wall, working on something, and I failed to look back as usual. Next thing I know my booty runs into the wall and I do a full stop. It happens, because advanced skaters map out the skating floor, yet it's not always perfect. In other words, you can figure you have enough space to do three front /rear pivots ,into a reverse tstop, and you might have misjudged your distance. Skating in about learning and if you do not fall, do not slip, do not touch the wall,you're probably not pushing your limits..
I just got my first pair of skates in over a decade. This was awesome..thank you :)
Love you, Dirty! "I am NOT teaching you STYLE!" 🤣👌 Now i have to go practice...
Thank You. Made me more confident in your tutorial. 60 yrs. of age and still learning. Thank You Deborah.
I loooooove your videos!!! So helpful!!!! First time skating in 20+ years, never been able to skate backwards, and did it on my first try after watching you. Thanks Deb!!!!!!
Thanks! I love your personality and this video has definitely helped.
😂😂my snack area wanted to go to snack bar too! 😂😂 You are an amazing instructor!
Thank you! 😃
Hello!!! I’ve been watching this channel for about a month, and am kinda new to skating. I must say, your steps make skating come more naturally. I watched this video last night and practiced for a lil bit today, and was able to skate backwards!!!! Not perfectly, but much better than if I attempted without watching her tutorials first! An absolute God send, and amazing teacher. Gonna keep practicing forwards and backwards, along with the warm ups. And though it’s another video, the bubbles, scissors, etc make everything else go smoothly. Keep doing your thing love, and thank you sooo much ❤️ and can’t wait to learn some tricks lol
Pick ‘em up , set em down is going to be in my head for a while 😂 I love it ❤️
To me skating backwards (just as swimming on my back) is one of my favorite exercises but I can never feel relaxed while going backwards because I can't really see well all those little pebbles, twigs and cracks which I can perfectly see while skating forwards 🤷♀️
Before I skate, I like to scout my surroundings and clear what I can. Some basketball or tennis courts are good places to practice
@@fizz8912 well, right but in my hometown tennis courts are not free, so you can't rent them for anything but actual tennis. Also, I mostly skate in parks amongst cyclists, scooter riders (and even motorcycles), so they often bring some pebbles even if they were removed a few minutes prior 🤷♀️ plus you can't exclude kids tossing things on the ground whenever they want to
The asphalt itself in parks is usually super smooth and fine but it's impossible to me to make it perfect
The only thing about skating backwards that surprised me quite a lot was crossovers - it turned out that doing them backwards was easier to me than forwards. And maybe in ramp skating I better like the moment of going backwards 😄
@@e_lena9656 ah damn, that sucks. It's good you find backwards skating easier tho; I'm still trying to get my head around it, myself😅😅😅
@@fizz8912 well...I don't care much about a bit rough terrain: it's great if it's smooth but if it's not - no big deal, just need to gain a bit more speed (especially with 65 78a wheels, I have two set ups for different purposes)
I can't say that going bacwards is easier in general but crossovers definitely are! :)
also love inline skating (it's easier in some ways and harder in the others), so i often learn some new things on inline skates first and then transfer them into quad skating
@@e_lena9656 ooo
I learned how to skate backwards last night!!! 😁😁. At first, I was just standing there wondering why I wasn't moving when I knocked knee'd and pigeon toed. Then I remembered, "Pick em up, set em down...pick em up set em down" 😂 It worked!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🛼
I love your videos! Thank you so much - I have learned a lot and can’t wait to have time to go and skate and practice! :)
I can definitely tell you are a true instructor. I was self taught 50 years ago and this is the first time I've had actual technique in backward skating. The hardest part for me is the pigeon-toed stance. I'm learning the bubble thing but not good yet. This is going to take practice to get comfortable and graceful.
Thanks for this. I have just started skating again after years of not having skates. I never learned to backwards skate. Until today!! little problem at first; took a break skated forward for a while, tried again. About the 3rd try I started going backwards. Within minutes I was moving fairly well. I will practice for a week or so and be back for next video. Thank you!!
Dirty deb, you truly are a great teacher! Thank you for this! Your tips and technique are so easy to follow and simple to understand! I am 💯 going to up my backwards skating game :)
I love love love your videos… and i can skate backwards thanks sooo much
Dirty, you’re simply the best. I hope you know how much you’re appreciated by us beginner skaters and I’m sure even advanced skaters ❤️ you’re the cool aunt we all want and need!
I appreciate that!
You are an awesome teacher
Thank you! 😃
You are amazing, so inspiring and so helpful !! I wish I could go to your rink! Please don’t ever stop making these kind of videos. Love from London ❤️
I get distracted by how smooth the filming is
me too
Right?!!
Thank you for the demonstration. I'm going to work the muscles and practice, kisses from France ! ;)
Have fun!
Thank you for dropping this video right before the long weekend where I am!! Perfectly in time for me to watch and practice!! 😍
Another amazing video, gonna practice this tomorrow, really think I'm gonna get it this time...Will let you know, thanks again x
Love your lesson as always! Thank you so much
A thousand 'thank yous' 💖
Helpful. I am going to practice tonight.
Skated backwards for the first time yesterday! Thanks @dirtydeborahharry 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
When I practice backwards I get scared and wobbly when I start going fast. I keep hearing DD’s voice in my head saying chest up snacks right and fun zone down!!
So perfect teacher you are Deborah. But how good it will be when I can skate like my friend and teacher Débora.
Looking forward to my 30 days of skate challenge for May to get me back into the routine. Thank you for your clear instructions! It's going to help me tremendously!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! Got my first pair of skates a few days ago and this helped me get a grasp on skating backwards. Can’t wait to keep practicing 😀
You are so funny Dirty 😄 I love your descriptions, "down with the butt, up with the gut"! I'm gonna try that at the skating rink on my next trip.
Love it!
I absolutely love your videos because of you I’m skating so much better thanks for your videos I’m still learning how to skate backwards but I’ll get it Imma keep practicing
I'm here because I can backwards rollerskate really well... ON MY DOMINANT LEG, but I'm going back to fundamentals to relearn so I can do it on both legs. Thanks DDH 👍
Off into the wild to practice! Thank you for the video.
I can’t wait to go home and practice this the whole time saying “pick ‘em up sit em down” “down with the butt up with the gut”🥁
I finally went skating after a year on Sunday, it was amazing! 💖🛼
This came at the perfect time for me 😍🙏🏾 Thanks Debs xx
Already done the first 2, but excited to try the push and lift! Can’t wait to see the more advanced versions! 🖤🛼
Hey DD 🙋🏾♀️
Thank you for this..been skating for 6yrs now but only recently took off my stoppers 😲 omgosh it's like I'm a newbie again..so currently having to relearn everything (wish I'd taken them off sooner). I'll be going through all your tutorials again 👍🏾👌🏾🤩💚💜🧡💖💙💛🖤❤
I love that the sign at the exit of the rink immediately read out 'snack area' to me : -D
Dirty I found your videos a few weeks ago and they’ve inspired me and helped me so much! Thanks for breaking it down while managing to look fine as hell 😂
Happy to help and thank you for the kind words!
Thank you for the excellent break down on the fundamentals. It is really appreciated.
You're very welcome!
You are great!!!
Another super masterclass tuition from the Dirty school of skate. Great energy with plenty of fun.
Thank you 🛼👌🏾😂
Just about to go out and try this. Thanks Dirty 💜
Thank you, Deborah! I really gotta focus on the tightening of the muscles. That's exactly why I look like a jellyfish on wheels sometimes!!🤣🤣🤣
🥰🥰
Great tutorial 🛼🔝🙌🏻
When we can travel again I am coming for a lesson in person. It's only an 11 hour flight ❤
Thanks!
Good video, Dirty! Thanks! Can’t wait for the advanced practice version as well! Also, could give some instruction on carving/edging (not sure of proper terminology) I see skaters doing beautiful, graceful moves with one foot in line with the other and then CURVING- sometimes forwards, sometimes backwards. And I WANNA feel it- but don’t know how to approach it! Please help! Thanks! Much Love!!
I have a whole playlist "Backward Skating" that you should definitely check out. It has all sorts of videos there to help you from the basics to advanced.
Hi i love your channel so much you help me so much with my roller skating xx thank you 😊 xx
