Bubbles have been unlocked. Scissors are hired assassins trying to kill me, yo.
You will get them. Focus a bit on relaxing when you do it. Often times, we are just a bit too tense.
Lol
Same here 😆 🤣
🤣😂
I feel this so hard lol
I DID IT DEB I DID IT!!! I've been binge watching your videos all week while I wait for my skates to arrive, first thing I practiced was my safety squat position and V position and then I went to lemons, got a little frustrated because I couldn't figure out how to get my feet to come back together, so I watched this video again and got it! I wasn't turning my knees and pulling my weight back up, I was trying to tilt my feet instead and was failing lol Just goes to show you can't watch the video once and be done. I will definitely keep referencing you on my skating journey!
I am so excited for you! Good luck to you at the start of this amazing journey. You will have many ups and downs, literally and figuratively! Thank you for watching my videos!
I’m literally binge watching these videos while I wait for my skates too! Thank you Deb for the effort you and your team put into every video!
No Doubt About It, Deb... You're the Skating Teacher from Heaven ❤️
May God Bless Dirty Deborah Harry, and the Fountain Valley Skating Center
Aaron this is so beautiful!!! I am praying every day for Deb and FVSC ❤️
I'm 55 and just learning roller skating again.. Last time I roller skated was 40 years ago..Your tutorials became my bible..Thanks Deborah!
DEB IS THE BEST
OMGosh, that's my story except I'm a year behind you and 9 years older. I started skating again in July after nearly 50 years. I am having a blast and learning so much from Dirty Debbie's lessons. She is a fantastic instructor.
I'm 61 and same for me!!! Deborah is great!
Today I had a skate class and the instructor was trying to teache me bubbles... And in my mind I was like, "this one I already know, its down with the but, up with the gut" 😅 It worked perfectly.
Omg, girl, bubbles are a GAME CHANGER! I went skating in the street for the first time. Bubbles keep me in control, especially when I see a car coming. Now stopping, turning, etc are so much easier thanks to bubbles!
Yes they are!
Thank you SO much for breaking this down even more. I’ve got bubbles down but struggling to get my feet to cross. I gotta go practice!! Who needs the thigh master when you got roller skates??!!
I skate almost every weekend or every other weekend at my local rink in Staten Island, New York and yesterday someone was trying to teach me tricks and he said this lady I watch on CZcams says so & so and I said ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT DIRTY DEBRA and we both laughed and said we want to come to Cali to skate at your rink. Just wanted to let you know how helpful your videos are and I hope we can make it to Cali to see you!
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love New York! This is great!
Being out of my cast and everything and recovering, I’ll be able to come back to skating probably by the end of this month!
I practiced bubbles everyday for 2 weeks straight and I can now do exactly two of them in a row :(
That is all you need. Change up those strides!!!
Maybe try to loosen your skates, I mean the two screws which hold the wheels under your skates. But watch a video about it before you do. It made everything soo much smoother
@@moonchild8478 i'm actually way better at it now, i can even do it backwards! but yeah, i did loosen my trucks, but they loosen too much in only one hour of skating
no idea why
You got it!!! You actuallly got it!!!! Well done :)
i literally can NOT stop watching you, Deb. i'm just going to parrot what everyone else is saying: You are an angel to everyone who wants to skate. i 100% feel like I'm going to be ok on skates!
had to comment something not related to the intended content of the video but had to say,
Damn!! That shine on your hair looks good! the layers and length are so lovely! hope you have a lovely day
Courtney ... thank you so much. You know how covid has been so crazy and one feels a bit lost? Well I have been struggling with my weight etc. So sometimes I just say ... "Hey ... hair feels good so I am good". LOL!!!! Thank you for noticing and your kind words.
I'm 1 month into skating and learned everything from your vids ☺️ Now I finally got my bf to get skates and am so excited to teach him and use your vids to help!
Yay!
Dirty, did you read my mind!? THANK YOU for making a in-depth video on scissors!! I can't wait to practice on the weekend!!
I love the way you explain and teach, you make it so easy to follow and you explain thoroughly. You encourage and continue to motivate me on this adventure.
You are so welcome! Sometimes people say I am too "wordy" and I "go into too much detail" but I don't care! 😜 I know that the truth is in those details. I know that your greatness, as a skater, lies in those details. Thank you so much for your comment.
I LOVE YOU DIRTY DEBORAH
Great breakdown. Bubbles to scissors. "Gettin that weight on back skate."
I learned how to skate cuz of you and i have no regret except for when i fell and landed on a thumbtack but still almost no regrets
You are so right about you have to do things on both sides. If you can do a three turn on one side then learn to do it on the other side as well. Do not favor only one side or one foot more than the other. If you learn one side start working on the other side.
I've gotten a hang of bubbles and scissors!!! Thank you Dirrrtttyyyy!!! You're an amazing teacher🤗🤗😁🙌🏾🙌🏾
Ok so first of all:thank you all so much for the love and support on my last comment💖second: I can almost skate forward 🥰I know it’s not a lot but it’s definitely better then my first day
Keep up the good job.
I'm sure you're flying by now!!
@@melissad.1885 well after i got the hang of skates we got new floors in the house and it made it almost impossible to skate so now I’m saving for a roller rink pass
OMG no you didn't, lol, lol, Thigh Master, I'm dying, lol! Once again you have hit the nail on the head about not being able to bring your legs back together. Lord, the first time I did bubbles my legs spread out and I could not for the life of me pull them back in, lol. Girl, I had to let myself fall over ,then get up, It was a mess but funny as Hell. Your are the business with these videos, thank you. Love the intros and the tights!
Thank you for this series! I used to live on skates as a kid. I’m getting back into it at 47. You’re a great instructor. “Down with the butt. Up with the gut.” Got it! ✍🏽👍🏽
You’re so awesome! I mastered scissors tonight and I’m so stoked, thank you! I’m going to visit you soon, I live in San Diego :)
You are an amazing teacher Deborah! Thanks 👍
And please could you teach some more about skating in small places? We have no rinks and such, plus winter ....... so I have to practice at home in my apartment .....☺️♥️😷🤪👯
can't wait to try them out, just gotta get those inside thigh muscles to work a lot lol I've been skating for a month now and can't express how much your videos helped me! love from brazil 🇧🇷
Awww Juliana ... I am so excited for you!!
A month into skating and I realised that moving in scissors is not only more fun than striding it also comes more naturally to me! I was so happy the first time my legs just... kind of did it? I wish it would do it backwards too :(
Your hair looks fabulous Deborah 💙
I love scissoring! I saw it first in Chicago but then got the technique down from DDH! I can scissor to the entire song and maintain momentum...its cools to mix it with other rhythm techniques. But the real fun came from when I visited FVSC in mid-July for its Rhythm and Blue session Thursday night.
The rink is 14,350 square feet and had 250 skaters on the floor...and they were good! Another 200 were in the stand lurking. But these guys were killing it most with some sort of scissors to maintain momentum...but on those small diameter wheels...they were good. I had not seen anything like it. So DDH is spot on with scissors as basic skills for really fun skate experiences. Love it...and DDH!
You rock and your camara man or woman rocks too!
She does!
I really love your energy ! 🤩 and your advices of course ! 😉 they are really helpfull ! A kiss from France 🙂
I'm a beginner skater and your videos really help thank you!
For all of you having problems to get your skates easily back together and pulled up after dropping you weight down: I've had the same problem UNTIL I loosened my skates, I mean the two screws under you skates, which hold the wheels. It made such a difference! But watch some videos for that before you loosen them too much or wrong
I love your hair!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
You're the best teacher ever!!❤️
I just ordered my skates, and I'm so excited. Grateful for these videos :) ❤️
Thank you for this Dirty!
Thank you so much Miss Dirty Deb❤️
You're amazing ❤️ thanks for the videos 🇲🇽
The joy of just watching you on skates!!!!!😍😍😍
I try to implement at least 1 lesson everytime i'm out and eventhough it is hard, when i get even tiny bit better it makes me so happy and i know it is thanks to you!💛💛💛
I just want to say that I'm so glad that you made a youtube channel I love you so much!!!!
Best video! Thank you! :)) I love roller skate :))
Thank you, Deborah! I was missing the pelvis moves, this clarified it for me! 🥰🥰
Love the new hair on the drawing!!!
Thanks so much for all your vids - your explanations are so funny and helpful ❤️❤️❤️ Can't wait to finally come meet you when fvsc opens back up!
you make lessons FUN and easy !!!
Great video, thanks for breaking it down, especially the weight shifting in scissors.
Can't wait to try this @ the Rink tonight!
This is soooo helpful! 😍 Thank you so much! I want to learn Roller Skating this year and can't wait to start. I only skated two times a while ago and wasn't very successful, haha. But now I feel more prepared and I love it that you repeat that it's going to be hard and you have to practice often and consistently to see progress. (I need that reminder! I always think that I have to do it perfectly the first time and then feel like giving up...) It's below zero here and I can't wait for spring weather to try all this. 😊 Unfortunately we don't have any skating rinks in the area where I live (in Germany).
Hi! I love you. Been binge-watching your vids, and even though I'm not very good at skating backwards yet, I actually managed to teach my husband how to do it by repeating to him the tips from your video!
Can't wait to start practicing those scissors.
Keep up the good work ❤⛸
Cheers from Brazil
Thank you! Just got my skates today and have been watching your videos for a week. I was able to stop and only fell once. ❤️
Thanks for your videos I will keep you updated I’m getting back into skates after 20 yrs wow I have a ways to go to catch up
Watching from Brasil ♡ i'm loving it!
I have spent a year watching your videos. I skated as a kid regularly. Spent every friday night at Skateland in AZ. Just basic skating. I bought skates last year because I remembered how much fun it was and wanted to teach my little on. Now I'm slowly working my way through this playlist! I can bubble!
*and my kid does a great penguin and tiny car thanks to you. And hes learning to love it as much as I do!
I've watched all your videos leading up and you are an amazing woman. I like your personality. Thank you for the lessons.
This was great! I’m struggling with scissors... however I can get a foot forward after this video. Even bubbles were hard until I watched your videos. Thank you! I wish I was in Cali to come to the rink!!!!
great tips!! Thank you!
Thanks for the educational video.
Im watching all the lessons while waiting for my skates to arrive❤️❤️ thank you so much youre the best!!
Glad you like them!
Your tutorials are amazing. Wish we had a rink like that here. Very few left here now. We all rely on outside skating. I am trying to pass my white star for derby and you have been an awesome help
White star? Are you in Australia?
Omg, thank you so much DIRTY 😉 I finally made progress! I was moving my feet and it didn’t work but transferring my weight to my feet as explained made all the difference.
OMG, OMG, I did it!!! I tried it this morning and I kind of did it. A lot of work left but what can I ask for? Literally this is my 4th day. First day I was trying to remember how to skate because I didn't skate since I was 8 or 10 years old and now I'm turning 50 on July so.... I'm so, so happy. Thank you Deb. You're are the best teacher ever ❤
DIRTY! I was at the rink last night by my lonesome like I've been doing the past few weeks and after a bunch of attempts that were at best, wonky plow stops, something magical happened and I UNLOCKED BUBBLES! Once I did, I was so jazzed that I kept flowing around the rink bubbling like a little fish. It gave me so much joy to unlock this small but fundamental skill.Who knew that I just needed to drop my fun zone and bend my knees more. Scissors are next! I am forever grateful for your videos and words of encouragement. I will keep practicing! ❤❤
Awesome
Hi Dirty Deborah I just want to say how much for all your videos, help and supported me to get skating. Im 50 and decided to finally learn how to skate and thanks to you I can. I am just starting to go backwards and have managed a little thanks to your videos. I never thought I would be confident enough to go backwards and you have made that happen. I can do bubbles and crossovers and have even mastered some slalom with some cones again things I never thought I would be confident enough to do when I started. You have made my inner child very happy!! In fact so much so that my husband and my son have switched from ice skating to blading and are coming out with me! Keep up the great work you are doing getting us all rolling. Thank you so much and sending you lots of skating love from Dundee in Scotland xx
Awww this is sooooo great!!!
I’m a long time skater, and you elevate my skating with your every word. Lifetime listener and skater. Thank you. ❤️🇺🇸.
I am a really long time skater but I still pick up a lot of stuff from Deb. You can always learn something new. I love it!!
I just got my blue sky beach bunny moxi skates from wicked skates today!!! I’ve been waiting about 6 weeks for these and I’m sooooo excited!! I’ve had them on all day, been skating around my kitchen. I’m in love with skating!! 💙
Oh I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Super helpful
thank u sooo muchhh!!
All of your vids r helping me cause I really want to get good at skating and I am going to a skating bday party this weekend and I am not that good so these videos and really helping me
After mastering bubbles I started doing what I would describe as half bubbles? So one foot rounding at a time, taking turns. This has helped me pick up speed very fast, and you dont even need to lift your feet off the ground so its not scary!
Those are c-cuts I think. congrats :) learning how to do that helps with skating backwards
0 dislikes.. First vid ive seen without dislikes btw THIS HELPS A LOT
Thank you so much for this video. This is what I need to work in. Been back in skates for about a week. It’s been 31 years but I’m realizing I didn’t really know how to skate correctly. I am enjoying myself so far. Thanks again 🥰
Glad it helped!
I totally thought scissors would have all four wheels down with the forward foot! (Maybe that's more advanced?) Your videos are the best. I need to work on that inner thigh muscle but I see the light - Thank you! ❤️
Omg early yay I love your vids
Love your channel and videos. I am able to do bubble well now but not get enough propulsion especially on outdoor rough surfaces and uphill. Always end up switching to alternate pushing.
DIRTY! I GOT IT
THANK YOU
thank you so much
i finally got skates 2 days ago 😁 i wasn’t able to skate today sadly but i’m already doing okay! i’ve only fallen once 😁✨ thanks deb! you taught me so much ❤️
I’ve kind of given up on learning to skate but I still love watching your videos!!
Don't give up!!! Try, try, try again.
Honestly thought they were the same thing but different names 🥴 glad I got a notification for this video.
I deff struggle getting them fully crossed. I can only get them in a line. And I realize I was focusing more on pressure in my feet to make em go in and out the body weight. I need to practice that
I Summon Skating Rink Power!!!
God i adore you 💜💫 how can a human be so cool, beautiful and kind all at the same time. Always respond on Instagram and just makes me so happy. I'm learning loads ❣🙏🏾
Thanks Debbie! I'm a 60 year skater. I wish I could do what I did on skates at 10. I do bubbles around the corners to exercise my new hip. I will now add scissors to it.
Still too scared to do crossovers, something I did every day as a kid.
Thank your being such an inspiration for me i I'm already a pro soon ill be way better Again keep it up!!!! :)
Thanks!
Awww thank you!
@@DirtydeborahharryNo, thank YOU! I'm just getting back into skating after 30 -something years and having to pretty much re-learn everything. Your attention to detail and fun way of patiently teaching has been making my experience enjoyable. Bless you and your loved ones, you're awesomes :D
Super needed this video! I have a great scissor on one side and the other is wonky. Lol thanks!
Bubbles are the death of me, but I only did them once so far so I can totally do it :>
You can! You can totally do it!
I can do bubbles but I’m struggling with scissors, I feel like my dominant foot does all the work! Instead of right foot forward, left foot forward, I’m doing right foot forward, right foot backward 😅 working on my inner thighs 💪🏼
Wow, u are meant to teach this! I go to that spot too!
Hello dirty DH in my opinion you shut be a million subscribers by now ok !!!!
Thank you, what use to come automatically now needs sound instructions...lol
Practicing scissors is a total inner thigh workout. My inner thighs were sore after the first day. I still feel it each time I get to scissors.
Wow no one explains the weight transfer which makes a HUGE difference. Thank you💕
my dauhter name is deborh and she loves your vidios and may god bless you.
I chocked when I heard "Thighmaster"
I do want to go practise - other places than in my tiny living room... But we are currently covered with a substantial layer of snow... The temperatuer is between 15 and 5 F. it's been that cold since New Year... I'm done with winter now! I want the snow to be gone and spring to come! Love and light from cold and snowy Norway
Thank you for your videos. I didn't skate at all last year, after starting skating about 1 year prior, got a bit demoralised with skaters you see on the internet, as they seem to be able to make tremendous progress in a short period of time. I didn't feel it was going fast enough. But now it's calling me again 💓 thanks for the pep talk.
Yeah Celine!!! Keep going! Those skaters that make instant progress are a rarity. You go at your pace.
@@Dirtydeborahharry would you have advice to build up confidence and whatever muscles are needed to open up the hips. I struggle with turning around, because I feel a little unstable when opening the hips.
