Wooowwwww ...!! It literally took a Dirty Deborah tutorial for me to FINALLY understand it 😆 Thanks Dirty, idk what I’d do without ya!
Glad I could help!
Me too!!!!
I did it! I did it! I could finally do it this morning. The turns weren’t high or daring but they felt “right”. I finally got the arms/shoulder thing happening. I’m so stoked. Thanks, Deborah!
That's so amaziiing don't forget to keep skating
Mee too and I'm so happy and motivated 🎉
Hi❤️I would also love a video about easy ramp tricks❤️
“Let’s review. Step 1 - find somebody who has a ramp”😂😂😂😂 also, yes my snack area needs snacks, now that you mention snacks... thank you for the video!
Exactly!! Lol! Find ramp, find snack, find fun :)
My snack area has a looooot of whipped cream
Same
Dam Dirty, you can really rock in those jeans. By the way, yours vids are very helpful. Thanks for these helpful videos.
I appreciate that!
So happy that you've started making ramp tutorials! I've really missed clear pedagogical instructions like yours for the ramp! Love it and love you!
JUST started going to the skate park after a lifetime of rollerblading and recently learning quad skating- safe to say I’ve found my new passion in life! Please keep these park focused videos coming!! ❤️
🎶 head, arms & snacks & toes, snacks & toes 🎶 😂
hahahahhaha! Right!?
NEW SHIRT SLOGAN!!
Such a well-rounded skater!!! I EFFING LOVE YOU!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖😎
Thank you!!
The head (and eyes) make a big difference. That's what I discovered when I was figure skating, how your head and your hips power up your turn. Now I need to apply it to park skating! Thanks for the tips.
...simple 180 transition turns...jejeje you make it sound so simple =)
I was SO not prepared for that Zero G last week...but it was AWESOME! Never fell, but wasn't there long. Can't wait to get back to the park!!!! :) Hope I'll be there longer next time....and maybe get some good video.
You know, I still have to work Friday afternoons. It makes it really hard to concentrate when you drop videos at noon this close to the weekend...
hahahahha! OH noooo!!!!
“Go snacks go” 😂 I love your videos almost as much as your personality 💕
Ahh I dropped in for the first time today! Definitely keeping this in mind for next time 🥰
Dropping in for the first time is quite a milestone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!
Dirty School of Skate it’s taken me since last year to pluck up the courage after badly breaking my ankle roller skating! I still can’t quite believe I did it! ☺️
deb you're a GIFT
You are a gem for telling me so. I appreciate it.
This is SO helpful! I can't wait to try these tips tomorrow!
🤸♀️💪Great explanation and the timing was precise! Please more ramp vids!!
Yessss more beginner ramp videos! I need to learn all the stuff I can do without dropping in :) Thank you DDH!
DD you rock!😊
I just love watching your videos! I love the way you talk, and you make it so easy to understand! Thank you for all you do, Dirty! 😘💖
Didnt realize how much i needed this video!!!
You are the best teacher ever, thank you for sharing these tips and for your such good energy!!!
What an encouraging video!
So helpful. My little town in Australia is upgrading our skate park while we are in lockdown. I'm excited to try this.
Best skate teacher eva... would bet, best teacher at most things ♥️💯 love this vid
I finally get it!! You’re awesome ! Thank youuuuu
You are just the best!
This video came just on time! I went to the skate park for the first time two days ago, and I struggled with turning on ramps. I know realize I was trying to lead with the opposite foot. Right foot in front turning left 🤦🏻♀️ thanks Deb 🥰
Much love from Denmark, Europe! I just started going to an indoors skatepark and doing ramps and this video has been soo informative! Can’t wait to try the turns when the lockdown is over 😁 also Deb is hilarious❤️ I wanna have snacks now
Dirty Deb! This was the most helpful video ever!! I’m carving bowls and pumping now because of you! Thank you so much 😊
So glad it was helpful!!!!
First video under my belt got the pumping now working on turning you are an amazing teacher thank you
OMG I FINALLY DID IT!!! Thank you! 💖💖💖💖💖 I have been trying for months, then finally got EVEN harder wheels AND rewatched this a couple times.... and then as if by magic, as soon as I started using my freaking arm to steer my weight around I went!!!! YAY This is so much fun!
f*ck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
f*ck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The BEST skate teacher EVEEEERR! I miss you Dirty, come back to Australia!! SO lovely to see your gorgeous smile!
Enjoy your videos! Thank you. ☺️
That was extremely helpful!!!
Loved this video! I learned so much, you are a great teacher. I can do this now because of you! Please, please do more ramp and park tutorials.
More to come! Thank you so much for watching!
You are such a freakin awesome teacher!! Subscribed!!!👍🏼❤️
You're amazing and so very funny! Can't wait to go and give this a go.
You are so funny!!!! I'm taking my snacks to the ramp tomorrow to practice 🤪🤣💚
😂 your the besy at these and funny lol love it thank you
Hi from 🇦🇺. Thankyou so much for your ramp video's. They helped me fix my turns and my balance coming back down fakie. I was finally able to drop in off the coping yesterday!
I bought my first pair of roller skates 1 month ago, and I'm so, SO thankful for your channel Deborah 🥰❤️ Ive been hitting the skate parks every day I can with a new video tutorial from you to work on (and now people think Ive been skating for longer than I really have!)
Omg you’re really good at teaching, like I’ve watched lots of videos and this is the one that I understood, good job, u got a new subscriber 🥰🥰
Happy to hear that!
Oh my goodness I think I want to do this!! 🤩🤩🤩 And you make it so fun and easy!!! #goals 🛼🎉🛼
Another AMAZING video Debs! Off to practice practice practice ready for next week's gem of wisdom.
Sending love from the UK 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️
Awww thank you!!!! Next week we will be talking about fear in roller skating and how to manage it.
@@Dirtydeborahharry AMAZING 😍
Oh snap. I'm about to give it a go. Thank you!!!
Thank you again. I mean, I turned but it was so uncomfortable and sloppy. I realized real quick that I needed to see the 1st video, lbs. Practicing that now!!!
This is an amazing tutorial. Your channel is always my go to, thank you 🙏 ❤
You are awesome!! I’m on blades and nobody wants to talk about which foot forward. I started doing outside foot forward cause I couldn’t figure out inside foot forward. Time to knock off that bad habit. One of the best and most entertaining skate tut vids I’ve seen in awhile, gonna get some snacks 😆
A love the way you teach, thanks!!!
You're very welcome!
You’ve had me laughing all the way through this vid. Thank you I loved it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another video full of tips and tricks that's really helping me to understand why my right turns work, and my left turns fail miserably. Among other things, I think I'm not weighting the back leg enough - it's more 50/50. I plan to start working on my weak side as soon as we can breathe the air around here again.
UPDATE: I finally got to try your technique when making my weaker left turns on the ramp yesterday, and it WORKED! Immediate improvement! Thanks for making that video!
I’ve been skating since the start of this year and I finally got a friend to join me skating in parks! We are both not great at ramp skating and this video really helped, thank you so much dirty!
That is awesome!
I just started skating a few weeks ago & this is extremely helpful. Also, you’re fantastically awesome🤩🥰
Yay! Thank you!
Not the whipped cream Lord! 🤣👏🏾 I honestly have a hard time remembering my snack area. Haha from now on I shall say “Go snacks Go! SNACKS! ACTIVATE!” 🤣👏🏾 such fun ways to remember things.
I’m no where near park skating but the more I see it the more I set that as a future goal.
I am a beginner... And just learned the CARDINAL SIN OF SKATING of turning with the opposite foot lol Amazing, as always ♥️♥️♥️
Your videos help me a lot
Haha totally know how I was making some turns completely awkward and not natural ..leading with that wrong foot, oh thank you! Love the "snacks" and whipped cream is my favourite with coffee, thanks Dirty!! 😍
You are a freakin hero - and my husband (new skater) and myself (returning skater) are totally referring to stuff as Snack Area and Fun Zone.
Thank you, Deborah! Your videos and you teaching style make my face area smile! 🥰
I so needed a reminder for turning in general!🤫
I LOVE YOU . You are my saviour , here in my city there's no skating classes, it's really sad because I'm in love with every kind of skating since I was 5 and I am learning a LOT with you 🤯
Excellent! Keep practicing Nana jwi!!!!!!!!!!!
i love you !! thank you for your videos!!
Glad you like them!
I love your attitude, you are a motivation for me, I would like to be able to do everything you do. it's great!
🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
So so helpful to build good habits from the beginning.
You’re delightful to learn from 😊
DEBBBBBBBBBBB omg this is perfect timing!!! Ok, so, I got my "good' foot side down pat and am pretty comfortable turning that way BUT on my "weak" foot side I'm having trouble getting my back foot to follow my front foot around the turn and keep going into the splits! YIKES!!! Any suggestions on getting my weak side back foot to get with the program?!?!?!? Thank you!!! Much Love
Make sure that your back foot is carrying the weight. Then follow through with your upper body for the actual turn.
Thanks!
Trying this tomorrow!! I would also love some tips on dropping in 🙃
Love you Dirty!! Thank you for these ramp series, could you make another one for dropping in? 🥺 my legs still get jelly when i have my skates on the coping
Post Skate Park after watching your video this morning: I managed to do some wide, shallow carves/turns but not the tight ones you do in your video. Watching your video again, I think I was just swinging my arms about and it wasn’t helping so I gave up on the arms thing. I see now that the arm movement is really to pull my shoulder around? Is that right? Anyway, I felt it was developing, so thanks again, Deborah. And, yes, I had loads of fun.
YES!!! It is ALL about shoulders when turning!!!
It's funny I never realized I just carve without thinking about it, until you mentioned this. I do this on the driveway, and I think I tried the opposite foot, and it even felt as awkward as it looks!!!
Wow super
Love you, love the vids, so miss skating FVSC on the odd Monday, for the record. Any thought on grease packing bearings for outdoor skating? I'm on alot of beaches and tennis courts lately.
Perfect timing! I want to try baby ramps soon. Need a new helmet first.
Stomach muscles buried in whipped cream. I had to rewind the vid after I heard that because I couldn’t stop LAUGHING. 🤦🏽♀️🤣❤️
❤️
WOW! I’ve been 100% guilty of turning with the wrong foot forward and have never been able to put a finger on what’s wrong until this video... Thank you!
I have seen plenty of skaters go with the "crossing foot" but they manage to skate the hell out of all sorts of parks. I just think it is more beneficial in the long run to go with body mechanics that are natural.
Okay, so I’m back today from the skatepark. Trying to turn with the correct foot in front made me realize that I don’t usually have enough weight on my back foot (hip not sticking out!!) - I practiced rolling around with as best stance as possible learned from this vid and wow it felt like I had so much more control; crazy how little adjustments to the body make a big difference. Thanks for all your videos, they are so helpful! :-)
Hey Deborah 😊😊 I just want to say that watching your videos makes me SUPER excited to go to my first rink next week! I'll be using rentals until I can get my own skates! But, in the meantime, do you have any exercises you can do off skates to improve that muscle memory and balance and stuff? Maybe interesting to make a video about 😊 Thank you so much!
I will make that video!!!!! Have fun at the rink.
Omg we stan a versatile queen!! Is there anything you can't do? 😉
🤗🤗🤗
You are my queen.
Love your videos Deby!! Might be a stupid questions but does the kind of wheels you have on your skates are important?
Thanks for the video, Deborah. We are heading to the skate park now. I can do a few things in the skate park and love it, but have never been able to turn, so half of what I do in the park is backwards! I want to turn and carve so much. Will I get it this morning after your tutorial? I’ll let you know!
Have fun!
Another great video, Dirty Deb! I've never tried skate park/ramp skating before, but watching these two videos has given me the inspiration to want to try it! I notice that you use low-heel/derby-style skates on the ramp. Can this be done with figure-skate style boots with the taller heels? Can outdoor/soft/78A wheels work okay, or is it better to use the hard indoor 95/101A wheels on the ramp?
You can use high heeled skates absolutely. I use traditional speed skates because I am comfy with them at the skate park / ramp. Use hard wheels for sure.
Great video!!! Does this technique apply to inline skates too?
Hey dirty! I’m a BIG fan! Been training hard for about 3 months now and your videos have helped me every step of the way. I just wanted to ask if it was cool with you if I comment to people trying to learn “don’t quit before the miracle happens “ that’s something I’ve heard you say and I totally stole it from you. I’d just feel better with your okay about it. Thank you for being you and I love your videos, I always learn the most from you. Thank you!
Please pass on absolutely anything I say! My only goal is that I help create others who can teach. So use anything I show and pass it on!
Dirty School of Skate Awesome! I have done so already, it worked and I’m gunna keep sharing the skating love and lessons! Thanks again, you seriously rock!
Dirty! Shirts! Sell them in the ribbon under your video. I have attended enough classes- I need the dirty school of skate shirt to rep you while I’m cruising around town using your tips!
That helmet really does look awesome. Mine is red with dark vent holes on top, my kids pointed out that I look like I have a watermelon on my head.
Yes! This vid was so helpful! Now...how to do it fakie? Do you have a video for that?
Not yet but I will make one!
I'll build my own ramp one day and practice until I'm good then go to the park lol then I'll look all cool haha! Love ya Dirty, thanks for all your help, it's very much appreciated!
Hi. I would love a video on dropping in for first timers / beginners
Oh I am making that video for sure.
Hi😁So I can do wide spins but I'd like to do small spins, like on the spot spins, how can I do that?😅
Keep your feet under your hips, keep your arms in tight.
@@Dirtydeborahharry Thank you😁
The dominant turning definitely will help with carving in bowls, however with a right dominant leg I would really like to know how to turn “goofy” or transition left quickly without changing my stance. I have done it once and it involves a hop, but I’d like a technical and safe description.
I will do that!!!
Do you think heeled skates or flat skates are better for park skating?
How do you find your size with protection gear? I bought bell knee pads and elbow pads and it was for adults but they’re way too tight on me!
Been doing opposite foot activities to try and make sure one isn't too much weaker than the other... I spend more time trying to bring my other foot up to speed than actually learning anything new... I figure... eventually... it'll be worth it. 2 years and my non-dominant foot STILL sucks ass and I fall over...
Hi can any one please tell me if you can do ramp skating with states that have a heel or do the have to be flat ? as I am thinking about giving it a try but I only have the skates with a heel
You can skate with either a heel or low heeled skates.
You can do it with speed/derby or artistic/rhythm skates. Whichever you're comfortable in. I brought both last time, but never changed out of my speed boots to feel the difference. Wasn't there long, though so...maybe next time I'll try my Candi Girls.
Dirty School of Skate okay thank you !
I got some roller skates they are nice and cute and I got them form Walmart
A dropping in tutorial would be wonderful!
Oh I am definitely doing one. I have a special guest for it too.
How exciting!! I can't wait! If your tutorial included dropping in without slide blocks that would be most helpful! I haven't found any tutorials on dropping in without them 😬 Your videos are the best!
