Thank you so much for your skating tips. You're so good at explaining the kinesthetics of things while making it fun. Also, thank you for introducing us to your uncle. He seems like a total low-key badass!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

LOL! He is! I just posted a picture of my grandfather on Insta ... you gotta check him out!

You skate immensely well. On the way back, you take steps you have never seen before. You dance on skates. Amazing.

[@Gookeewi]

I'm practicing off skates in my flat, I'm really hoping that my downstairs neighbours don't hear my loud landings! Thank you so much for all the joy, positivity and good advice!

[@jimbobaggans1564]

So that is your uncle! 89 and he still skates! I am going to be using him as an example to all of my peers that have quit skating because they think that they are too old. He seems like a great guy too. I haven't done that waltz jump in awhile. I have got to do it again,,,,,,,if the rink ever opens back up. I am really getting anxious to skate again at the rink again!!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

He skates every single day. I believe the secret really is never to stop moving your body. The minute we really sit down and become stagnant is when we age poorly.

[@LaLavender25]

I’m 42, picked up skating again 6 years ago after a 16 year NON-Skating life and I missed it SO much. Your videos spinning videos are STELLAR and I’m so confident in my spins now. You are so motivating and I WILL LEARN THIS JUMP!🛼🛼 Thanks for your help (wish your rink was in Virginia!)

[@mystere3572]

Hello, I'm writing from Poland, in my country rollerskates are not popular at all so I'm watching videos from US to learn how to skate. I love your channel, I'm twenty six and i never roller skate before. Because of your films I don't loose faith in me rollerskating and I keep practising. I love your energy, you're such an excellent teacher, thank you for your work. Best wishes!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

That's great! Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them.

[@terrell8878]

Im not a beginner skater but every time i skate i get tons of people asking me how to do everything lol. Watching your vids has helped me in explaining things to newer skaters because its a bit tough sometimes especially being that im self taught. Love your vids ❤

[@TheHashtagHEROTV]

I finally did a waltz jump today and it’s thanks to you and this tutorial in particular. I’m so happy!! Thank you 🙏🥹🥳

[@meganhume551]

That is so great that your rink is family owned and operated. Your uncle is adorable! Great video as usual!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Thank you so much!

[@suellenfernandesteixeira1931]

I loved it, I want to learn, I will train a lot.🤩

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

You can do it!

[@heathere244]

Dirty I've been skating for 9 months but my skill are way aged thanks to you and the hours and hours I've put in. I absolutely cannot breath life without skating anymore. People ask " how do you do that?!" And I ALWAYS tell them about you. Always. I just learned backwards dips yesterday after watching your backwards lunge video on the topic. Took about three hours. Thank you!!!

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

Torn ACL, left knee (almost a year ago)...my LANDING leg...still not fully heeled, but once it is, I can't WAIT to try this!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

That is a great goal to look forward to.

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

@@Dirtydeborahharry So far, I can do it "on land" without pain! :) However, I may have attempted it off-skates one time too many today. Knee decided to go one way while I was going the other just walking into the kitchen. Oops! LOL

[@sonsolescq]

Best flash appearance in the video: Dirty's uncle being shy! Such an amazing family Deborah

[@sio5873]

Yay a jump video! I was hoping you'd do more!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

[@swissmissdemeaner]

Deborah! I’ve figure skated on ice/quads for years, manage a rink, seen tons of pro coaches - you are by far the best at explaining with your own cute spin on things (plus love a lefty sistah)! Now following you 💕. Love from Boston!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Wow, thank you! Thanks so much :)

[@baskenseue]

Oh my God finally a teacher who also is a leftie!! I am a recreational figure skater looking to transition to roller skates for summers (inlines scare me, and I worry would undo my ice skating progress since they'er so similar when I get back to rink in winter so roller skates seem like the best of both words I guess?) and I am so excited I won't have to do the mental gymnastics to reverse the directions of spins and jumps when learning from you Deb! Getting my roller skates today. Greetings from Poland!

[@JaimeReis40]

I have to practice this type of roller skating.

[@catalinaortega267]

You're the best! I'm from Chile and love your videos! ❤️

[@tiffanyx8577]

Saving this video for myself for when I’m far past this first week of skating and can do it

[@asiasnyder6817]

Just a side note about doing waltz jumps with the left arm in front/right in back vs starting with both arms in back, usually skaters who will move on to the axel will start the waltz with arm in front/back to prep for the axel.

[@raimehoward]

Winning, beautiful, warm and shining personality and wonderful skating!!!!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Thank you so much!!

[@AZ-wg6gk]

I wanna thank you for all of your instructions!!! Omg 😲 i swear you are hilarious!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Plus super informative!!! I wanna be like you when i skate up!!!

[@cosmosk8s]

Watching this a year later and I'm glade to see you went from 50k to 225k!!! Yay!! Also I love everything you stand for ! I was practicing toe spins the other day and my toe stop fell off and a fell 🤣 oops

[@alistairkok]

Thank you so much for this video! This has been so helpful! My biggest challenge on the spin entry is translating the forward momentum into the spinning momentum - going from that forward outside edge, into the forward outside 3-turn and getting the “hook” up on the toe-stop as the transition into the backwards inside edge of the spin. Everything wants to “travel” and falling out of the spin instead of staying centered on the spin.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Keep up all the practice! You will get there!

[@christinacortez6130]

I don't know the camel or the sit spin but I love watching those spins they are my favorites

[@asiasnyder6817]

Start with the basic upright spins. Left inside back upright and right inside forward upright. Then left inside back sit spin. Then right outer back upright, then left outer forward upright, right outer back sit spin. Then start worrying about the camels and left outer sit.

[@SimplyElan]

Awe your uncle is just too cute! 🥰 Excellent tutorial! I’m gonna practice this today. ✨✨✨✨

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Yay! Thank you!

[@lyndagruen2047]

Happy birthday to your uncle! My dad is in his 80s, too. Wishing your family and our communities good health. Just ordered my first quad skates. Coming from an inline background. Curious to see how quads will compare. I need to work more on my front-back transitions and outside edges. I admit: my mohawks need work. I can do a toe roll or maybe heel roll around a curve - at least somewhat. Hoping to get into artistic skating eventually, with practice - and as necessary, the right skates. = ) Just out of curiosity, what types of quad completes work best for outdoor artistic skating - say, on concrete, asphalt and the like? As in, plate length, wheel type and size? Stuff like that. And what about aggressive quads?

[@JayRockDoesStuff]

Amazing Video! Gonna have to try this one. I never really gotten into jumps much so will be nice to try this. What a treat at the end huh with your uncle. So blessed, he looks amazing!! I want all his secrets! lol That was so cool and I could feel your excitement for him through the video. Would be amazing someday to come skate with you . Mad Love

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

YEs :) I was so excited that he came out because he usually stays off the floor when I film and he won't go on camera unless I force him to :)

[@JaimeReis40]

I was curious, to be able to take such a leap with you Deborah. But I am aware that it will still take some time before I can do it.

Would the moxi jackboot be good for artistic type skating?

Yes. It has the stiffness that is needed or preferred.

[@danmatloff9902]

Hi Deborah. I am an older skater and used to do a nice waltz and toe loop jump, but my balance is no what it used to be. Do you have any suggestions to help me get back in to some simple jumps and be able to finish them nicely (arms extended and back toe pointed)? Thank you, Dan

How can you make that leap in that perfection in progress?

[@helenletts8049]

A waltz jump is far to easy for me. Is there a harder option or alternative that i could try??

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

yes. Try it in the opposite direction or try it multiple times in a row ... say 3.

[@asiasnyder6817]

Yes, move on to the mapes jump, then salchow, then euler, then loop, then flip and lutz. Usually in that order.

[@MsJbs05]

Your uncle rocks.

[@MyNamesSabrea]

my toe stops are so hard lol i tried to spin before on them and it was stiff. is it possible to do this on hard toe stops or do I need a softer one?

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

If you have the toe stop with the screw through the middle, this will be very difficult. If your toe stop is an adjustable toe stop made of rubber will be just fine.

[@MyNamesSabrea]

Dirty School of Skate I have sure grip carrera stops and the heart shaped ones by pigeon but they are so stiff I try to spin on them and they arent gliding across the floor like yours.

[@JaimeReis40]

I follow you.

[@BrownBoneBarbie]

I've been practicing this and keep getting dizzy lol is there a trick to avoid that? 😅

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Count. One revolution. Stand still and count till your are not dizzy. 2 revolutions... count till you are not dizzy. The immediate focus of counting will help overcome dizziness.
