I went down the hill on my residential street facing forward and saw my life flash before my eyes. I know the neighbors thought I was losing my mind as I yelled the whole way down. I’ve never prayed so hard in my life. I sat on the curb for a good 20 minutes to gain my composure. Why did decide to learn to skate on my forties. Thank you for tutorials, you’re my skating shero
C. Moore hahah this made me laugh, thank you. i feel you though i’ve been in a very similar experience except i took a pretty bad fall :(
Did you mean hero?
@@jansipennem7344 I'm sure she meant shero :D
This is LIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahah :)
I'm 52 and haven't started yet but so excited!!
When I started watching you, I thought, "I'll never be able to do anything she can do" two years later, and now you're making videos about stuff I do on the daily. Wouldn't be here without you! Thanks, Dirty.
I'm so glad! That is really cool!

Hi Deborah.
That’s inspiring! That gives me hope!
@@dolli818 Right 😥😅
Bless!
"you get faster and faster and then you have to make decisions" - my decision process was literally 'fall on the grass or aim for the tree' 😂
😂😂😂😂
I sprained both my wrists and am currently wearing a wrist guard so...at least u didnt try to grab a pole goin downhill and panicking to stop...
This is me but with poles and lamp posts. I remember one time I got distracted by something when I rode into one and my legs kept riding on so I just sorta slowly slid down the pole 😂
Me right there 🙋♀️
Meeeee
Whoa dirty, are you wearing a mic? Audio quality is 👌
And do tell about those boot covers!
@rollielocks got a new mic and we are ready to make even better quality videos!!!
@@aignemakerofchase You can see a little mic on her swimsuit top
As far as her skates go, they just look like sneaker skates
@@aignemakerofchase I really don't think those are covers. They look MUCH more like shoe skates....I've got 2 myself...and a pair of bunny slippers I converted, as well.
@@Dirtydeborahharry I really appreciate that, it makes the auto captioning work much better for deaf newbie skaters like me!!
Roller skating is starting to become abit of a trend on tiktok! Maybe look into making an account on there because people would definitely be interested and you could point them towards this chanel too! Love your videos keep it up
Good idea!! Thank you very much. I will.
@@Dirtydeborahharry yes pls do
Shrugging off those “cool guy cyclists” and waving at the fire department car just shows how much of a lovely and kind spirit you are! Totally binge watching your videos and I’m so excited for my first skates to be hugging these toes soon!
me who can't even skip uphill - ah yes, interesting 👁👄👁
I was definitely in panic mode yesterday when I found myself going down a lengthy hill, facing forward and just telling myself, “You got this!” I made it safely but I’m here because I knew that was probably luck and I want to be better prepared next time. Love the ladder analogy and I will definitely being practicing this form now. Thank you!
There’s a little hill where I live and it’s so daunting! 😭 If I’m able to learn this it’ll open up so many more spaces that I’ll be able to skate. Thanks, Deb!
You and Indy Jamma Jones are the only reason why I decided to skate again after I broke my wrist at a friends birthday party while skating for the first time. I was so scared to skate again but then I found your amazing tutorials and I found Planet Roller Skate and I was motivated again and now I try and skate everyday. I love you and Indy so much you guys inspire me ❤️❤️❤️
Awwww I am really happy to read this :)
I broke my wrist after my first week of inline skating too. It took a lot of courage to get back on the skates, but I did it and I'm so happy I got back into it! I just bought myself a pair of quads... Only ever been quad skating once in a rink. I'm stoked to go out later!
Man. I'm happy to hear that guys! 🤟☀️🌴
I had broke my wrist skating about age 10, some guy pushing me hard from behind. I always wear wrist guards now.
This makes me want to find a hill and do it right now! I never realised why I've seen skaters go downhill like this, it makes total sense now! I think I need different style skates as my Bauers are too chunky for modern street skating! 12 yr old me would have been all over this, 38 yr old me is a little more cautious. Keep the videos coming!
I’m so happy! This is exactly the video I needed! My apartment has slopes outside every exit and I literally have to walk down them in my socks then put my skates on cos I had not idea how to control my speed downhill😅 thanks so much!!!👏🏽🎉
I’ve been watching your videos for a whole week and I’m completely obsessed with your personality and voice. Please never stop teaching
Thank you! Will do!
You're a really good teacher. Thanks for teaching us all your movements, you're really cool🤙
I appreciate that!
How to Roller Skate Downhill by Dirty Deborah saved my life yesterday! I just just just started skating and my husband took me out as he skate boarded and as we were going along he took me down this hill by mistake and I tuned myself around because I watched this video the night before and couldn't believe that I had to use it!! THANK YOU SO LOVING MUCH! YOU'RE OUTSANDING Deborah!!!!
I did this yesterday, and it really works! I braved a big (to me) hill and did it backwards, and I kept control the whole way. Thanks!!
I also love that you show skating can be a life long endeavor. I hope I'm still skating when I'm your age. And I hope get to skate with you someday soon when we find out "new normal" in life.
You are the best! Never stop posting videos please!!
This is soo useful😍last time (and also first😂) i tried going down hills i fell so hard one of my buttcheeks turned blue😂
Yup. Smurfbutt here too 🤣
Hi Dirty, I got my first skates only few days ago for my 39th bday. Love your energy! Can't wait to be so comfortable as you are. I'm a big fan already. Hugs from Ireland:-)
Happy birthday!! Have fun!!! Greetings from So Cal!
"Cyclist, think they're all cool" AHAHA
They were yelling at me! LOL!
haha punks
@@Dirtydeborahharry I was wondering what happened lol I saw you make a face as soon as they passed by
Pre teens on bikes are the rudest people at my local skate park. They're weirdly vicious!!! Is that just my neighborhood or is that everywhere?
Sometimes they think they own the roads and nowbody else should be there, some can be really rude but Deborah did it great, just ignore them and keep smiling ❤️❤️
Things I wished I knew before 😭 I fell SO hard going downhill earlier today (that’s gonna hurt in the morn). Sat down watched this vid and gave it another go and was successful 🤜🏾 Thank goodness for you 🙏🏾
Get it Kaysha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried this last week (on my literal 3rd day of roller skating ever) and it was totally empowering and game changing. THANK YOU!
Going down hill has always been a worry for me! I remember as a kid going down the hill in my neighborhood and always having to bail into the grass. This is amazing, can’t wait to put this into practice. Thank you for sharing your expertise ♥️
Yeah I wish I would have seen this video about 24 hours ago. I came barreling down a drive way forward grinding my toe stop on my new skates and I had a decision to run into a new truck or an old truck. I ran into an old truck after hitting both of my legs just under my knees and ended up under the old truck. I love the ladder analogy. I’m ready to go back and practice
It seems easy, on the descent that you are making on the road in Downhill.
Send more of your videos. They're crazy.
What I still need to learn, to get there Deborah.
Thank you. This gives me anxiety at the thought but girl, I swear I’m only descending backwards from here forward. You’re awesome! 👍🏼
This is gonna save my life! Today I launched myself into yards two times because I couldn't carve down the hill going forward! 😂 Thank you for this, I'm going to practice this asap!
Hey ❤ I recently started watching your videos from all the way in England, and before I know it I'm ordering skates online which are due to arrive this Thursday!!
By the way I love these videos and your amazing personality and teaching skills - Thank you so much!! 😍❤
Skating isn't much of a cool thing here and I'm kind of nervous about doing it in front of other people 🤷♀️
Argh! Yes I’m in England too and just started! Also nervous of practising in front if people haha!!
So am I, it's ok! I'm just starting out after subscribing here. We can look stupid from across the world together
UK here too! Joined roller Derby intake classes in January, obviously been called off months ago so I'm skating outside regularly. I love these videos they really help!
@Wilson Combatgirl Thank You!!
English skater here too 🙋🏻♀️ I love indoor skating but can’t transition and my backwards skating is limited, so the idea of skating outside where it isn’t the norm is terrifying! Watching all of these videos to encourage me to get out and skate!
audio sounds crisp!!! thanks for these great outdoor videos!!!
Glad you like them!
Lol she read my mind as my jaw is on the FLOOOR watching her skate backwards down this hill! I know she is a professional but I can’t help but imagine my accident prone cubby butt trying to go backwards down a drive way let alone a street!
I love it! Thank you for encouraging confidence! Can’t wait to be at this level!
I love the way you talk hahaha so much energy makes me so happy! Thank you for all the information I just ordered my skates can’t wait to get started :)
Have fun!
Oh my lanta! You’re GOOD! I needed this lesson! Thank you so much my friend! Love you! ❤️😘
I have watched this video all the way through at least four times, and finally it's clicking when I'm actually going down a hill that would otherwise be scary! Thank you so much for all your tutorials. I swear every time I skate I think "what would Dirty say"!
Glad it was helpful.
Debbie, I am a beginner and you and the best in teaching how to skate out of all the other you tubers....no doubt! No offense to the other you tubers... one love. Debbie u are so descriptive and explanatory to the tee. And the way you reference certain moves to be looked at in a different perspective to help understand really works. Love it...love u...love skating. I’m 39 and I’m gonna skate and dance my tush like I am a teen. In a safe way of course😝😁😉
This was soo dope I need those skates during quarantine.
I just discovered you. I was never taught to skate. I was a street skater from childhood into my late teens, just skating the streets; steep hills, curbs, cracks, traffic etc and I had to figure it out on my own. We didn't have protective gear back then but I always felt safe because I used my instinct. I was also very comfortable on my skates because I skated every day and I have a dance background.
Later I found a rink, but I preferred street skating and doing parkour moves on skates; jumps, spins....it's so free being outside. Loving your training videos, and I also enjoy watching the black community and their incredibly cool skate groups, and now I've pulled out my skates again years later, my muscle memory kicked in and I'm skating again, after a long time. There are no rinks where I'm at, so I'm looking forward to the local basketball court for now. Gratitude for sharing your knowledge.
I don’t know how I missed this video! Great tips Deborah! I’m terrified to try this, but I accept this challenge! I’m tired of being petrified when I pick up speed going down a hill lol I can never predict how steep it will really be until it’s the moment of truth and I have to plan a quick escape 😅😂
God bless you! I want to feel the wind on my face while skating again, just the way I used to when I was a little girl. I'm so thankful I found your CZcams channel. LOVE the way you teach!!!
I know that feeling you are after! Keep it up!
Dirty, I am so happy that you have this CZcams channel! Every time I open CZcams, I end up watching lots of your videos and learning a lot. I revisit your videos over and over in order to practice.
You're so clear about every movement, and you explain every detail in full extent! Your tutorials are concise and I find them to be very helpful. Plus, you're so charismatic!
I can't put into words how much I appreciate all the time and effort you've invested in this channel. Thanks to you and your team. ♥
Wow, thank you!
Just in time! Thank you so much for keeping us entertained and learning new things
Thank you so so so much for this video! I went down a super long hill and the only stop I knew to do was plow... my knees were so pissed. Didn’t help that my trucks were too tight. Thank you for both videos!!!!! Today I mastered that hill using this method and I love love love this method. Bonus is that it made me way more confident going backward!!! 😘😘😘
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
dude I as literally looking for this exact video whem I got a notification... Thanks Dirty D!
Hope you enjoyed it!
I really enjoy this technique, I use it all the time!🙏💗
I love all the detail that is included in your videos. You make a awesome teacher Dirty D!
I appreciate that!
You're really cool, thank you for teaching us how to skate!
You are such a great teacher! Your explanations are so clear, it really helps! I started watching your videos a few days ago and now I can’t stop :) You will be with me every time I go training outdoor. Thanks!!
YAY! I am so excited for you.
Awesomeness!! Thanks from NC!! I can't wait to get my skates!!
Started rollerskating about two weeks ago and absolutely loving it*-* Your videos are soooooo helpful!
Just came on to tell you I am 48, just got back into skating and tried this. It freakin works!!! I mean, I know you know that, but I am totally stoked!!! 😁 Thank you!!!! You are amazing! 👊🏼
Yaaasss, Deb. You’re the queen! Thanks for always making such clear and FUN videos. ♥️♥️♥️✌🏼
i love your energy so much! youre so kind, you make me even more excited about getting into the roller skating community !
The skates you’re wearing in this video are SO cute I love them!!! Also I started with your beginner rink videos so I could feel ready to try my local place without embarrassing myself too much and now I’m just watching everything you’ve made for fun haha
I ❤️ Dirty Deb. Another FANtastic lesson.
Love your videos!! You're an amazing teacher!!
i live in a very hilly area and wiped out big yesterday, this is so helpful. going backwards is so practical but yet i never thought of it
Always the best instructional videos and what a difference the mic makes. Keep em coming Dirty, you ROCK!
Great video! Love your energy and kindness, you have amazing teaching skills, very clear to understand and super informative. I haven't skated for almost 30 years and now I'm very excited to get a good pair of roller skates to start practicing all your lessons. Thank you so much, you are truly an inspiration!
These videos are just too good!🛼
This video is so helpful, I spent all day being scared of hills and now I can’t wait to practice this tomorrow!
Thank you so much for this video. I am so looking fwd to buying some skates and practicing this !! Best skate instructor!!!
You're such a great teacher! I find understanding how to copy movements difficult, but you're so easy to understand, you really think of everything. And the energy and confidence is infectious! You make me so excited to learn roller skating :)
What a great teacher!! Your videos are nice, encouraged me to buy me skates and learn. Everyday I learn more from your tutorials and put it on practice. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤️
just went downhill today for the first time after ten years off not skating thinking i could handle it, i was so wrong though halfway down i felt my life flashing before my eyes and entered fight or flight mode and yelled 'PIVOT!' before leaping for the nearest bush to break my fall. luckily i only got out of that with only a few bruises (and leaves stuck in my skates). thank you so much for videos like this im definitely going to practice these techniques before challenging The Hill again.
Your videos are SO helpful!!! Thank you!
Had a great day today!!! I finally managed to go down a big and rough floor hill for the first time going backwards and I didn't fall over not a single time, this has been my biggest target for the last weeks and I am feeling very proud, I went very slow though but I will keep practicing to improve my speed, thanks again Deborah for your great help, your videos are the best 👍🏻❤️
I just love your skates here
What a powerful intro! You inspire me every day, Deb!
Oh....you are so awesome Dirty! You have the best instructions!
It's amazing how the toe stops hold up with all that dragging! Love the glasses. ♥
Your videos are the best! Thank you for all of the quality content! Hope to see you around Long Beach!
Thank you for all of the information, tips, and encouragement 💪😎 you rock Deb👍😁
You are simply awesome and you're great at teaching skating by breaking down every bit piece by piece. Lots of love from the Netherlands ❤️
OMG!!!!! Thank you so much. I am going to use this method, for sure.
Thank you so much Deborah for all the tricks you give us, it’s helping very very very much! Love u, Nancy from Montreal Canada 😎😍🤩
I just ordered my skates. I'm so excited! Thank you for making these videos!
Glad you like them!
Dirty! you are the best!!! The one time I tried to skate downhill I couldn't look back and keep straight. Your video makes so much sense! Now I know what I did wrong. Stay strong and safe!
I never would have thought about going backwards downhill! Makes so much sense! Thanks!
Love your teaching style!! Very clear, entertaining and easy to follow. This technique has had me very intimidated but now I'm ready to give it a go. Thank you so much!!!!
You are so welcome!
Yay!!! I’m so excited to try this! There are a lot of hills in my neighborhood and I’ve been too nervous to try any of them. This will help expand my skating world by a LOT!! Thank you so much!!! You’re the best!
Good luck!!
Just found your channel! I love your personality so much!! Trying to learn how to skate and I love watching your videos for help/instruction. I’m a complete beginner and still very wobbly so not going near any hills anytime soon but I enjoyed watching this!!
Such great content! Thanks Deb! ❤️
You explain things so well. The example about going down a ladder...makes perfect sense!
Thank you! I think so too! It dawned on me one day and I was like "yes!!! Finally a way to describe it!"
You literally have taught me so much. I always wanted to learn how to skate and I’m learning at 25 lol but I’m so happy you make these videos 😭🫶🏼
Can't wait to try this! Your videos are just wonderful Dirty! ❤️ I bought my first pair of skates around two weeks ago and I've been watching your tutorials every other day, you're a ray of sunshine ✨ my mum and my two friends have now bought skates too and your instructions have us flying around on them already 💜 thank youuuu x
Glad you like them! You guys have just formed your own skate gang!
I practiced this going down my sloped driveway... I abandoned it halfway to take the grass... now as I'm re-watching the video again, I figured out what I did poorly. This is why I love your CZcams videos... I can come back over and over until I get it right!
She's so supportive, I love it.
LOVING these outdoor videos, Dirty! Looks and sounds great
My pleasure!
You are such a good teacher Debbie!~ Your descriptive details are well worth it! Muscle memory will kick in and always becomes natural eventually! More backward videos please outside.
Thank you very much. I will make more backward / outdoor videos.
Your helping me get better everyday!! Today I’m gonna try and get out of my parking spot to the street. This will help me so much!!
Gosh, I needed THIS! I am a beginner, one month in and live a few blocks up on Alamitos... So when I go to the beach this is my access - and Ive been using the stairs out of fear and no knowledge of the fundamentals needed to access a bold decision like this. You cover everything a few of us have been needing! THANK YOu for speaking to a beginner, and making sure we are SAFE whilst referencing technique. No one like you, Deb!
Love this lady... she's given me so much confidence to try things (initially in the house first lol) and excel in the course I took last year. Thanks Dirty
Gonna try this on the little hill nearby today! Thank you!
your videos are the best - so entertaining and helpful.
Glad you think so!
Amazing video! Top tips with the arms.Will give this a go later.Thank you!
Dirty, you are so much fun to watch! Nice greetings from New Zealand. Can't wait to get my skates and try this!
Oh my gosh you have no idea how much this helped me. I used to squat down and clench my teeth while going downhill. I was so terrified. Your video is so so comforting and helpful. It is still taking me a while to get it, but its coming along. Thank you so much! I am literally going to binge all your vids because I am a beginner to out door skating and oh my gosh it is so daunting. Thank you!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live for these kinds of comments. Success on both our parts!
Takin it to the next level👏🏻💪🏼. Solid info
Subscribed! I started with inlines and thought I could never learn how to properly use my quad skates, but these videos are amazing! I'm sure I'll be skating all around my neighborhood in no time! Thanks so much!!☺
Awesome! Thank you!
Great tip! Will definitely try!
