    I haven’t finished the video yet but I just wanted to thank you! I’d watched some of your videos and went skating a month and a half ago, but i wasn’t really thinking about them while I was skating, I got too confident in the inlines and played the game where you switch directions at the whistle blow, but I didn’t know how to switch directions, I ended up slipping on some rocky floor, fell back and broke my elbow 😬 since then I bought my own pair of quad skates, as well as knee pads, wrist guards, a helmet and elbow pads and watched your videos over and over so I would remember them when I was actually skating. I went to a rink for an hour 2 days ago, my first time back at a rink since breaking my elbow, and just practiced going up and down along the wall. I was nervous as all hell but I didn’t fall and was getting the hang of just moving again. Today I went to a rink for 2 hours and this time, boy I had fun! I LOVE SCISSORS! down with the butt up with the gut, scissors seriously helped when I was feeling not so confident or times I didn’t have a wall nearby to rely on. And as I turned corners I thought, head turns shoulder turns hip turns foot, then I realised one foot wasn’t turning because I needed to use my outer edge, I also got off the floor to adjust my trucks several times until the turning was easier, then it was too loose so I tightened them a bit and got them pretty good by the end. When I was doing scissors I even had some success at bringing one foot in front of the other (I think you call it cruising?) and I realised I wasn’t as good at putting the other foot in front and thought I CANT HAVE A BAD FOOT OR DIRECTION! I stopped skating 10 minutes before the session ended because I could feel one foot starting to cramp a bit (I had work before I went skating) and they played that direction switch game again and I knew I wasn’t ready for it. Happy to say I didn’t lose my balance and didn’t fall over all session! Cant wait to go to the rink and practice specific things. All of this success is thanks to your videos! Although I still need to change my cushions to change my life 🤔 THANK YOU! 🖤

      I have broken both legs, ribs, and an elbow over the years. I healed up every time and got back on my skates. What can I say? I enjoy skating. So, I hope that you don't break as many bones as me. But, if you do, heal up and get back on them. All of my friends that used to skate together, now are saying that they are too old. Being in our mid 60's or myself in my 70's they tell me that their joints ache too much. I tell them, hey did they stop making ibuprofen? Get them skates out of the attic and dust em off! Let's roll!! We ain't gonna let them young whipper snappers have all the fun, are we?! Let's Roll!!

    I recommend learning backwards skating, just push off the wall, hard with both hands and try keeping calm and balanced getting use to the feeling, then push off the wall and practice scissors then practice crossing your legs and practice turning your head straight to navigate , and when you finally start doing it subconsciously without thinking, then practice jumping forwards and landing backwards at low speeds then higher speeds soon you'll become amazing very fast,and start groving it's not hard, you need little genuine practice

    You know what, as far as someone thinking they can not get it in 3 or 4 attempts, that is what lots of dance studios, university dance programs and fitness magazines were teaching. Especially in the late 80's they started coming out with that, like do not work for anything. I taught in dance studios for owners who told students it was how they were made if they could do splits or not. The ones i taught all had great splits and backbends, I showed them they could work for it. and the same thing with skating, lots of women came told me they bought a pair of skates because they saw me, and they fell on them, or cannot stand up and skate unless they hold on to something. , I tell them when learning new things on my skates, i hold on to something too..

    I am still recovering from hurting my knee (again), but I got up on my skates and was turning and skating. My daughter was like, you're going to fall. I was like nope not me. Even if I do, I know how to do it safely and up, up, up thanks to your video on how to fall. So it is all good. How could you not smile from ear to ear when skating? That's what I always say. Before I bought my new wheels it had been 33 years since being on skates. I used to skate EVERYWHERE and was pretty much an expert skater. I loved it. Well, I am back to it again and not as good as I used to be but that will come. Thanks for the awesome videos. I love ya!!

    Hi Debbie, I have been watching many of your videos and finally found this one. Thank you very much for putting these five skills together into one understandable flow. I am 72 years old and only knew how to skate forwards from when I was a kid. My bucket list included learning to skate backwards so I bought some skates just over a year ago and started watching you. My big problem is our only rink (Springfield, Missouri) is so crowded it makes it hard to avoid running into others. I bought some outdoor wheels and will try that once the weather cooperates. Thank you so much for your work.

    • @MystiqueRisingSun
      @MystiqueRisingSun 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      No need to stop. Just get some pads! The kids may look at you funny, but who cares? If your local rink is wood, you don't need super fancy/super expensive pads, just ones that fit. I found a complete set on Amazon for less than $20 - knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist braces. Get a pair of Bum Savers, too...if you feel the need. Those are a bit more pricey, but if it makes you feel more comfortable/confident, save up for them if you have to. They're around $60-$80 depending on which style you get. Anyway, they protect the butt, hip, and thighs for "all around" coverage. Made more for derby and outdoor use, they do hold up pretty well, so the investment is worth it.

    I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. My dad(73, he’s a very young 73) and I(35) have gotten back into wanting to skate again after 22 years. We used to go to a rink nearby all of the time and we were very good at it back then. Around that time, our local rink was becoming an area that had a lot of violence, and it just wasn’t the family friendly place that it used to be so we stopped going. When we went to a fairly new rink in a different direction a few weeks ago, we put on the skates and it felt so awkward..it took us forever to even get to the rink and when we finally did, we went around only once (there were a lot of kids darting everywhere and I’m now blind on the left side of both eyes so I can’t always see when they’re coming). After that time, I found your videos and when we went today, I felt a whoooole lot more comfortable. More like I used to feel several years, inches, and pounds ago 😂. The only think is that after maybe 50 feet or so, my shins start to kill me and I have to stop, rest, then go again, and same thing every 50 feet. Not sure if it’s that I need to work on my skating muscles again or what but I’m just going to keep practicing and see if it improves. If I wasn’t on the opposite side of the country, we would definitely be going to your rink, but as for now, I really do appreciate your videos :) Thank you!

    From derby fresh meat who started at that, "Yay, I'm rolling!" stage, your videos are super helpful in building skills and confidence! The way you break things down makes them feel so much less intimidating than they seem when I watch the experienced skaters do them. Now I can actually break what they're doing down into skills I can master rather than looking on in jealousy and awe, lol. Thank you for making these videos!

    I'm almost 52 and just took my 5 & 6 year old grandsons to a skating rink for the first time. They liked it so much I signed them up for lessons right away.. Now I want to learn too and and look "cool" since I didn't back in 8th grade, hah, hah!!!

    Dirty Deb- Love this advice! You really hit the nail on the head with this video. Its cool too because you can learn what moves kinda go together and make it your own over time. Ive been working on a backwards step (while skating forwards) to a turn around to a rolling 360. its alot of fun to do and ive crashed a few times now. Thinking about wrist guards moving forward- they dont take the falls as well as they used to. :) Keep the vids coming !!

    I love love love your videos, I wish soooo much that I lived near your skating rink so I could go there regularly, we don't have a single proper skating rink on my island far less for anywhere that I could go to for lessons, so I thank you so much for your videos, my only issue is because there is no other choice but to skate outdoors, debris always make me super nervous, but a little at a time I will eventually get it thanks to you.

    Thank you for this video, although I have been skating for years i have never been able to pull myself out of the mechanical stage, this video will give me something to practice and have more purpose other than just going around . I look forward to more combinations like these to smooth me out and help me to develop my own style.

    Thank you so much for doing these back to basics videos. I used to near live on my skates as a kid and teen now after 25 years I am getting back into it but my Impalas are killing my little toes, pain is there for hours afterwards. Any tips to remedy this?

    • @Dirtydeborahharry

      Sounds like the boots are not shaped right for your foot. It happens. You need to find a boot that fits your foot.

    • @robinpiller2
      @robinpiller2 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      When I first got my custom skates 39 years ago, the guy at the skate shop told me to put rubbing alcohol on a few cotton balls and wipe the inside in my leather skate boots with the moistened cotton balls. Then put your skates on with a cotton sock. The boot tends to mold some to your feet and prevents blisters. Worked great for me and I used to skate like 3-4 nights -- my feet never hurt nor did I get blisters!

    Oddly enough, I just had to explain "scissors to plow stop" to a newbie tonight....er...last night (it is after midnight where I am). Poor kid was trying his hardest. He was getting it (moving forward) by the end of the session, but he finally rolled over to me late in the session, "HOW do you STOP on these things????" Kept running into the wall to stop. I really feel sorry for all those rental skates out there! Half of them at my rink have the toes so worn down they're going to need new ones soon...a few pairs are already "talking". LOL

    Awesome.. so the very last thing you are doing when you say "go practice".. the stepping behind backwards move... That's where I am now.. I want that.. I am slowly working at it but I don't know if I could even be called mechanical yet.. scared and intrepid and dainty is how I feel... But I'mma get it.. I wanted to learn how to 2 step.. it took 7 months and I'm still not perfect at around the corner it but it's part of my "routine" now. I can at least keep up with the"pros" of my home rink.. WWHHAAAAATTT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE SQUEAKING!! 🤣
    Kidding.. it's not that bad.. see you next time!🌹🌷

  • @cruzineau
    @cruzineau 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes! Thank you Deb and Xavier! once a week I skate in an empty rink, and I look forward to utilizing this series and more. tonight I tried staggered-skates edging back and forth across a straight line, slalom style, using edges and hip flicks; a mohawk-y swirl at the end; and backwards skate back up the line to start position. I would love to hear you teach the "proper" way to guide skates slalom style back and forth over a line- not sure if I'm forcing it or if I'm just struggling to use outside edges because of being a beginner.
