I'm practicing off skates in my flat, I'm really hoping that my downstairs neighbours don't hear my loud landings! Thank you so much for all the joy, positivity and good advice!

You skate immensely well. On the way back, you take steps you have never seen before. You dance on skates. Amazing.

I’m 42, picked up skating again 6 years ago after a 16 year NON-Skating life and I missed it SO much. Your videos spinning videos are STELLAR and I’m so confident in my spins now. You are so motivating and I WILL LEARN THIS JUMP!🛼🛼 Thanks for your help (wish your rink was in Virginia!)

So that is your uncle! 89 and he still skates! I am going to be using him as an example to all of my peers that have quit skating because they think that they are too old. He seems like a great guy too. I haven't done that waltz jump in awhile. I have got to do it again,,,,,,,if the rink ever opens back up. I am really getting anxious to skate again at the rink again!!

Hello, I'm writing from Poland, in my country rollerskates are not popular at all so I'm watching videos from US to learn how to skate. I love your channel, I'm twenty six and i never roller skate before. Because of your films I don't loose faith in me rollerskating and I keep practising. I love your energy, you're such an excellent teacher, thank you for your work. Best wishes!

Im not a beginner skater but every time i skate i get tons of people asking me how to do everything lol. Watching your vids has helped me in explaining things to newer skaters because its a bit tough sometimes especially being that im self taught. Love your vids ❤

I finally did a waltz jump today and it’s thanks to you and this tutorial in particular. I’m so happy!! Thank you 🙏🥹🥳

Dirty I've been skating for 9 months but my skill are way aged thanks to you and the hours and hours I've put in. I absolutely cannot breath life without skating anymore. People ask " how do you do that?!" And I ALWAYS tell them about you. Always. I just learned backwards dips yesterday after watching your backwards lunge video on the topic. Took about three hours. Thank you!!!

Just a side note about doing waltz jumps with the left arm in front/right in back vs starting with both arms in back, usually skaters who will move on to the axel will start the waltz with arm in front/back to prep for the axel.

I am a recreational figure skater looking to transition to roller skates for summers (inlines scare me, and I worry would undo my ice skating progress since they'er so similar when I get back to rink in winter so roller skates seem like the best of both words I guess?) and I am so excited I won't have to do the mental gymnastics to reverse the directions of spins and jumps when learning from you Deb!

Start with the basic upright spins. Left inside back upright and right inside forward upright. Then left inside back sit spin. Then right outer back upright, then left outer forward upright, right outer back sit spin. Then start worrying about the camels and left outer sit.

Thank you so much for this video! This has been so helpful! My biggest challenge on the spin entry is translating the forward momentum into the spinning momentum - going from that forward outside edge, into the forward outside 3-turn and getting the “hook” up on the toe-stop as the transition into the backwards inside edge of the spin. Everything wants to “travel” and falling out of the spin instead of staying centered on the spin.

Happy birthday to your uncle! My dad is in his 80s, too. Wishing your family and our communities good health. Just ordered my first quad skates. Coming from an inline background. Curious to see how quads will compare. I need to work more on my front-back transitions and outside edges. I admit: my mohawks need work. I can do a toe roll or maybe heel roll around a curve - at least somewhat. Hoping to get into artistic skating eventually, with practice - and as necessary, the right skates. = ) Just out of curiosity, what types of quad completes work best for outdoor artistic skating - say, on concrete, asphalt and the like? As in, plate length, wheel type and size? Stuff like that. And what about aggressive quads?

I just learned the walt jump.. but didn't know i was doing it😂
