Can we all take a moment to appreciate Dirty for giving us free lessons and she doesn’t make it on KZread premium even though I think they don’t do that anymore AND she doesn’t put a bunch of ads while she teaches us. Just a BIG thanks too her for the lessons because she’s the reason I can crossover,stagger, backwards skate,spins and more. Thank you Dirty!

I have inline skates, an in process of buying quads.. My skating is improving immensely thanks to Dirty Deb... and my fear is gradually dissipating (at 57 I have a lot of reasons to be scared of falling and fearful of going downhill) Dirty Deb's videos are helping me to build skating skills and confidence, she is so funny and explains things so well, breaks steps down to make it easier.. I cannot thank her enough ... Huge shout out , big hugs and huge thanks to Dirty Deb 🥰💜💜 Di, Newcastle NSW Australia 🇦🇺

I love this woman, I'm binging the whole channel because I'm looking at getting skates and i just love her personality so much-

"I don't need you give'n it the death grip, it doesn't work like that. You just do a nice friendly pat, pat, pat relationship with the rail"🤣🤣I swear she has the best humour ever🤣gets me everytime!!

Forcing my 16 year old to watch this. She panics at the tiniest little hill. I've coached her, my youngest has now tried coaching her...she just won't listen to either of us. Like...we want her to fall or something??? Teens! OY! LOL

Does she have some really good pads that she wears? Having really good pads on makes the fear of falling much less noticeable. Also, just practicing falling can help because you're body will know exactly what to do in that situation

The first 2 minutes of this video made me smile so hard that my cheeks hurt! Thank you for existing! 🌸

I'm watching this 30 mins before midnight and you are pumping me up to want to wear my skates and practice! 💗

Just about to go out skating and there's a small ramp that always freaks me out, now I'll try this 😅 Perfect timing 👌

PEOPLE WATCHING ME ugh!! I struggle with this. Its like I’m petrified if I think someone’s watching. Thank you for this video and all your videos and you!! I love your hat and fanny pack ❤️

Deb, your simple and clear teaching cues have been popping in my head when at the rink and leading me to big breakthroughs. You are awesome at this and I thank you for making these.

That is so cool! Every single video makes me a little less scared of giving it a try (which is kind of important since I just got myself a nice pair of boardwalks 😂) Thank you! ❤️

Oh yeah - when I see a path with the slightest decline and think it looks pretty flat... until you start going down it...! Also: love how easily distracted you are by squirrels and flowers and you don't edit it out!

This is so helpful! When I was in long beach, there was a spiral staircase on our path and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how people were going down them on skates while turning constantly... I took my skates off! lol.

Thank you so much for these videos! I’m turning 40 in a month and thought “to hell with it, I’m learning to skate!” Outdoors is my thing and your videos are amazing

You are the BEST online roller skate teacher on KZread ever!!!! Love you!!!!!! 💖💖💖

As soon as all this coronavirus stuff is over, I’m taking a cross country trip from Connecticut to California and burning up all the sidewalks with my new skates. Connecticut has SOME places to skate but not nearly as many beautiful spots as there are in California. Also, there are so many more people to meet there! No one in Connecticut both skates AND is friendly, haha. Thanks for the video Dirty Deb!

I like Deb's videos because she acknowledges the stuff that is scary for beginners!

I moved and left my skates I have been a lot sadder without them,skating makes me happy they are being shipped after the 1st of next month and I'm so excited!

15::00 the flower - Hilarious! Many thanks for another great video!!

4 people legit stopped their walk and stood along the sidewalk to watch me the other day. I was like hmmm maybe I'm doing ok at this. lol.

Love how she pointed out the Squirrel! Animals can be so cute.

My stress level was off the charts watching her demonstrate things at the top of the stairs! I kept feeling like she was going to fall backwards and down them! If I were rich, I would buy her a plane ticket to Thailand so she could help instruct me. I'm 2 months into skating, and I am barely getting past the bubble stage. I watch all her videos and feel so pumped up! Then I go out to try, and everything I thought I knew flies out the window. I wish I had someone here like her to help me.

Your technical advice is so helpful and so is the little bit at the end. I just got skates 4-5 days ago and have been skating every day but pretty much only in empty parking lots. Part of that is cause I'm too scared to skate where people can see me, specially up close. So thank you for the little confidence boost!

I just love Deb, you have me LOL at the beginning of the video

Perfect video these are all the obstacles I'm challenged with

I just bought skates online and I can't wait for them to come! I love your welcoming attitude and your videos are super helpful! ilysm ❤️

Your channel is EVERYTHING!! I’m a complete beginner again since I haven’t roller skated in eons lol I’m learning so much from you! Thank YOU! Bless Up 😊🙌🏾

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO grateful for the common sense, no-nonsense, you can do this too information!

I am brand new to skating and your videos are amazing in Scotland our paths are a bit on the rough side and all the tips and skills I never even knew existed are turning me into a more adventurous skater with more confidence. And just yesterday had to be that friendly skater who fell on her knees. ❤️

“Omg there’s a squirrel!” 😂😂 me. I went down my first “bigger” incline at the skatepark and fell back and hit my head. Thank goodness for helmets! But this is super helpful and I’m going to try it again!! Love you Deborah!!

I sense this was supposed to go to another channel. I'm glad it's here because your channel is one of my favs to watch! Your free lessons are unmatched and highly appreciated

Your videos are so awesome! You are a top notch teacher! Thanks so much for all your videos. I've learned so much but I have to practice more. Thanks for helping all us newbies. 😘

Love your groovy vibe so much...thanks for all the amazing knowledge you shared!!! I have the biggest smile on my face right now...and I love squirrels!!💚✌😁

Finally a tutorial going down narrow steap pathways. These are two similar obstacles I have stepping out onto the property I live in. The other is two driveways. Driveway choice #1 go down a slight wider to fit trucks, steeper incline but shorter path (no bars to hold onto on driveways). Driveway choice #2 requires going UP a similar path Deborah last went down on to then go down a longer but less steap driveway than driveway #1. What I annoyingly do to start skating is take my shoes and put on my skates where ever I'll be skating occasionally right up front my street sidewalk but all the streets are INCLINED to incline with different types of street surfaces. I haven't really skated the streets around my home because if I haven't see any of you skilled ladies bombing inclined hills then nope I'm not ready.

ha! I learned it the hard way that we really do not want to fall backwards on skates! It happened to me about three weeks ago and my back hurt really badly for a week and then still a bit for another. I think now I recovered well enough to actually go out and try skating on roller skates again soon :) I really want to get good at it, knowing that it'll take quite a while, though. Thank you so much for your videos, I've already learned so much about skating and how to do stuff, now the hard part is to practice everything

Thank you for this video. I have been wanting to know about how to get up and down my stairs without having to take my skates off.

“Fun zone down” 😅😅😅💀

im loving your videos... also, good thing we can look cute while gliding and skating bc that chop stop aint winning those cute points :P also, "snack area" and "fun area"

Hi Deborah, how are you? I've been watching your video where you teach how to get down and up stairs with your skates. I learned and it will help me. Later on, you announce the importance of helmets and knee pads. I've never used. Look, have a nice day. Jaime Reis.

Finally, I've needed this! I live in a flat on the third floor so it's just stairs after stairs and then right after the stairs there's two steep slopes to ride down before there's flat ground 😂

Hello! Thanks for the video, it's very helpful! 💞 Any advises for stairs that are just like a step and then nothing to jam your foot into under it? Like step empty step (sorry for the weird explanation, my English is not so great 😅). Thanks again, you rock! ❤️🔥❤️

I have a little hill by my house. I gotta stop being a baby and do it! I'm done with crab walking or using the grass. I wanted to wait until I got better skates, but eff that. I can still practice in the meantime

I love the song it should have been the Title of this video ( Walk This Way ) love you Debb a day late but I found your video ,Just a lot of yard work to get done. Charlie.

I wish there was a place that I could go to understand the maximum speeds I'd hit with certain steepness inclines. There isn't really a safe environment to do that in. When I was in Germany (maybe) skating, I went over an overpass and the decline was intimidating cause I didn't know how fast I would be going down the slope.

Hello my name is Simon I am 49 years and I have started skating 6 months ago, well 6 months ago I bought my first skates in the pawn shop(second hand) I didn't have any idea on how to skate that's when I search the KZread your video appear and watch them follow every lesson you have teach and I have learn a lot and 2 month ago the wheel of my rollerskates broke the wheelbearing I can find a place to replace the wheels or the place that sell skates I living in South Africa.. I don't have any requirements to buy online. But here is the best part my son is 13 years he wears size 7 and I wear size 9 we skates together with the same pair of skates. If he goes first I will after we love skating very much.
