@Oliwia Żarnowska Pls pls pls buy your own skates. U won’t regret it. I’m 50+, and have been skating for only 3 months. I skated in a beginner class with my wife and 2 children. Within a month, we ALL had our own skates. My wife got the Moxi Skates, and me and the kiddos got the basic black high tops by Riedell. As a matter of fact, my pair was my Christmas gift. This super long post is basically telling u that your confidence level will be elevated on your own skates, and (in my opinion) u will look super cool in your own skates 😁
Hey I stopped skating for about 30 yrs and your videos are great for starting back. Explanations are easy to follow. Your greatest tip: Head turns shoulders, shoulder turn hips, hip turns foot 😂😂the rest just happens. I also DJ and work with the skaters sometimes, bad part is that I play all the songs that make me want to skate while I am on the turntables. Great Job
Update: I did have to return the gt50s. They were so padded that it was really painful for me. I ended up exchanging them and paying the difference for the Moxi Lollies in Taffy. Right away I can feel a huge difference. It's totally up to you and what you want. 💜💜💜
@@SolarSystemSiren TWINNING!! I got myself a pair of Moxi Lolly roller skates in Taffy too! Feels like I am roller skating a truck because of the Moxi gummy wheels. lol Had to get rid of the holographic Impala roller skates as they were too stiff and the toe stops were not adjustable. Did you get the toe guards from Rollerstuff too?
@@JojosCraftyLove not yet, I am strictly indoor skating right now, and I'm not really worried about scuffing them up a bit. Maybe soon I'll go purchase some toe guards like the mermaid ones or something. I'm also thinking of getting the light up wheels on planet roller skate so I can really show them off!! :D
@@SolarSystemSiren Same! I am strictly indoors between the lounge and dining area with the wall and kitchen counter as my stoppers at the moment. lol!! Yes! The luminous wheels would be fantastic! I think they look better than the Impala light up wheels. I will invest on the Luminous wheels when I am brave enough to skate outside!! Enjoy your Moxi Lollies! :D
i’m so thankful for your videos. they have consistently been the most helpful tutorials (i watch other stuff too but always come back here too!) you are such a wonderful person and it’s clear that you truly love skating and want to share it with others from the bottom of your heart 💖💖
Surprisingly my transition from back to front has been harder to learn than going from front to back, but this tutorial has really made it easier, thank you.
You've helped me so much! I've only had my skates for a month but with the help of your awesome tutorials, I feels sooooo much more confident and my ass is lookin' right!!!! I love you!
I just wanted to say thank you for your tutorials. Because of your teach method I've made insane progress in the 3 weeks i've been skating. Can transition front to back and vice versa, backwards skating and crossovers. THANK YOU DEBORAH!!
I'm at this stage at the moment and actually practiced it this morning before finding this video. This just fine tuned what i was missing 💯🙌💯 Thank you Dirty Deborah 🤪🤗
Thank you SO much for this video ! I was struggling with this and didn't know what was wrong. But thanks to your video, I spotted the problem with my transition. Now I'm working on it. So thank you so so much for this, Dirty, your videos are the best !
Thank goodness you could break this down for me...I used to not even think about this 25 years ago, but knees not being what they once were, they appreciate the explanation.
Thanks Debra, I needed this one. This is my Achilles Heel, when I try to make the transition from backward to forward, I'm the one that stumble and look clumsy. I'll keep practicing.
My 7yr old son wanted to learn how to skate so I figured the best way to teach him was to learn myself. Thanks to your videos I've mastered skating forwards and stopping. Slightly more practice needed on transitioning and backwards but he seems me having fun and practicing and is doing well with his own. Hubby even bought a pair to join us. Thank you. Videos so clearly explained and demonstrated.
Thank you Dirty Deborah Harry!! Your videos are showing me how to skate!!! Your talent to explain and teach are outstanding! Thank you for your heart to share your passion with us 😍
Omg it work 🥶 I can’t wait to get to the skating rink 💕✊🏾 thank you so much I love your videos because you teach me how to skate backward transition and everything
MaryLou! Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I put these things out there and sometimes I doubt whether or not skaters get it. I am glad you are enjoying it.
Today I went skating with my friend on the tennis courts and I challenged myself to skate away from the fence. I skated across the court low to the ground and I also started getting the hang of bubbles :)
Hey thanks just started back skating most is coming back naturally but for some reason, I was having a problem getting back to the forward position. So Thanks A lot!!!!
Thank you Dirty! This makes so much more sense than all the 'open book' tutorials, they say it's the same movement front-to-back as back-to-front... I kept losing momentum thinking "this movement forces weight into my toes, there's no way it can work back-to-front". I gave yours a try today, it's a challenge, I will keep practicing one leg / outer edge push off first :)
YES!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!! I will be watching this lesson 10 times and practice it 100!!! I was turning around different that didn't involve pushing off my skate behind me.
Hi! I'm learning to skate. Looked up how to turn from back to front, found this gem!! Subscribed. I'll practice until progress and then practice some more! Thank you Dirty Deborah! I'll check back in once I get this down. Skate down into it! Skate down! :D
I haven't been skating in years, but I just moved to a place that has an amazing roller rink and I was astonished and jealous of the tricks my friends were doing. I didnt even know how to do a simple crossover, but after watching you in just a week and a half I improved alot. Thank you so very much for these videos and I hope that you continue with these video ❤
This video shows me why my turns are so sloppy.... thanks for the video. Gives me more confidence because I know the correct procedure now. Crazy what we learn on our own but we know its not right... we manage but we know it could be better. Thats why I appreciate your videos !!!
Deborah, you know how I know you're skating royalty? Because when I suddenly realized I needed to learn this skill, I went straight to your YT channel to look for the tutorial. Thank you for being amazing! 🥰
I'm here watching this video a year after it was uploaded because yesterday at the skate park I ended up falling on my butt cause I tried to do this without any basic knowledge and just tried to wing it 😂 turns out I wasn't so sure about it and my indecisiveness made me lose my balance. So from now on I will always follow Dirty's commandments: snack area tight, head and shoulders first, and lean into it 💪🏻can't wait to try this
Here is the video I’ve been waiting for!!! Thank u. I didn’t think about leaning and pushing off like that. I just stood on one foot and tried putting my foot down. Thinking I couldn’t do it because I can’t put my feet ankle to ankle. Can’t wait to give this a try. Thanks. Great video as usual. Also looking forward to Thursday’s video!! That’s something I want to learn as well.
I’m so glad you made this because I thought going from front to back was hard enough until I realized that I didn’t know how to transition back to going frontwards
"it doesn't look very good" it look amazing (lol). Thank you for this! Front to back has been fine but got stumped on the transition from back to front!
THANK YOU!!! I have been trying to turn back to front without pivoting for a while. This had been escaping me because, at first, I was upright as Frankenstein. Even when I started bending my knees I still couldn't do it. I know that your tips on weight transference, leaning, and getting onto the outer back edge are going to make all the difference. Can't wait to hit the rink tomorrow in order to practice. I might get greedy and go there tonight. Thank you, once again. You are an outstanding instructor!
@@Dirtydeborahharry It did!! It took me a few tries but after 30 minutes I was able to do it turning out to the left. I'll put in more time on that side and then practice on the other side. This was a timely tip. Thanks again!
I can't believe I did it lol. I had no issue going from fwd to backward but my issue was going from backward to forward. Thank God I learned on concrete years ago... I have to hop my skate a little but I got it... 😝😝 I did it my way but I'm doing it tho! She's the best...
It also helps that we are similar age :) skating is So much fun. My goal is to do it as graceful as you are, but so far it is nice to see teens more tense on wheel than me. With practise I'm getting the sense of secure and freedom to do it my way.
You're a star thank you!!! You're the only one who really talks about edges! It would be amazing if you could to videos in regards to balance exercises, also when I skating backwards i always seem to rock and wobble forwards, how to do stop that? Thank you!
EDGES are the foundation of skating properly! Ok … when you skate backward, make sure you are really understanding that you need to "rock" your weight side to side in order to go backward. Look straight ahead, hips low, arms to the side and count. Get a bit of rhythm going.
Wow you help me a lot i love roller skating but in the old place that i use to go close down and now im looking for a place to go and i went to your web site but none there not in my are they are but they are too far away :c
"If you lean with it. You must rock with it."
-Dirty Debra
Man u done turn me into professional just watching ur video's
Just doing god's work here ;)
You make the best tutorials in you tube. I am so happy I fund you. You explain it very well. its helping me a lot. Thank you.
Thank you!
Agreed!
Completely agree!! Really good tutorials. Clear and fun. I love it.
I use Deborah to build my foundation for a new skill and it has been extremely successful and fun ❤❤❤
Love it when you add what edges to use, it really helps explain where I need my weight. Thanks for your videos.
Whenever you post a video it's a reminder to me about how much I actually want to buy myself a pair of roller skates❤ thank you for this video❤
You are most welcome! Definitely get some skates!

@Dirty School of Skate @Jonathan Clark Will do so soon, I promise!
@@Oliwia_zarna Do it!! XD I just invested in a pair of Moxi Lolly roller skates. Beginner at 35 years old! XD Very excited!
Bless you for these videos. I could NOT figure out how to do this yesterday.

I just bought my first pair of roller skates! The Sure Grip gt50 sparkle with some moxi wheels. I'm so excited!!!!
I'd really love to hear how you like them once they're broken in. I have Beach bunnies and I'm not overly impressed.
Update: I did have to return the gt50s. They were so padded that it was really painful for me. I ended up exchanging them and paying the difference for the Moxi Lollies in Taffy. Right away I can feel a huge difference. It's totally up to you and what you want. 💜💜💜

So I tried it at the rink last night going snail pace. I turned a little over 90 degrees. I says it’s a complete success for a first time. Thanks.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!
Also, I was excited abut my smooth crossovers last weekend, now a new addition, thanks aging.
Oh smooth crossovers! So satisfying :)
I’m so glad you made this because I thought going from front to back was hard enough until I realized that I didn’t know how to transition back to going frontwards

Might take an holiday there next year come and have a skate with you sounds like fun
I have really enjoyed watching your videos it made me subscribe, and you're so cool!!🎉🎉🎉

Needed this!!!
Oh good!
Good explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
Going to practice this Tuesday when I get to the rink
Wooohooo awesome
I need to practice that thanks dirty Debbie 👍
Practice! Music to my ears.
Looks good backwards and forwards back back back it up
I like very much to see your vídeo Deborah.
I'm glad you like it
Thank you Debra!! I will practice!❤❤
YES! Practice is such an amazing way to spend time. So good for the mind, body and soul.
This really helped me skate backwards. I actually skated backwards Sunday, March 12. Thanks for the best instructions ever!!❤
You’re the best! Hella animated. Wish to meet you one day!
Awwww thank you very much.
