[@Dirtydeborahharry]

hahahahahhaha! I have to get a dislike; it validates all the likes :)

Those are grass though😅

[@LibbyLeeEgan]

Those effortless spins give me life

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Awww thank you!

[@TheSchmuck01]

And could we just emphasise, especially for newer skaters: pads and helmet! *When* (not if) people fall, protective gear can be the difference between standing right up, or leaving a blood trail and going to hospital. (Experienced skaters know their own skills and risk level, do what you want. But newbies *are* *going* *to* *fall* *over*)

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Sure:) I love protective gear. I wear it at the skate park.

[@creshiell]

Anybody know where I can get some protective gear for fat people? I bought the largest I could find on Amazon and it fits me snugly but my BF is fat and muscular so it was a no 😢

[@AriannaGi]

@@BP-yg4lr same I skated inside until my helmet came still haven't fallen and its day 5 but I know it's coming and when it does I'm ready haha

When I saw your videos I wanted to go skating so my parents bought skates for me and my mom bought a pair too. It’s so much fun!!!!! 😁⛸🛹

[@HarekaTysiri]

Ohh i wanna skate with my kids too when i have sum

[@kendrastar1]

So I discovered these videos along with planet roller skate about a year ago and was immediately swayed to buy some skates and skate outdoors. I thought since I skated as a kid in a rink it wouldn’t take me very long!! Boy was I wrong but these videos have helped me with my progress over this past year and this one is so educational! I unfortunately learned the tough way but this video is going to save someone from eating a lot of asphalt! Also keep trying!!! How far I’ve came in a year is amazing and surprises me constantly 💖

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Congratulations! I am so happy to hear of your progress. Keep it up!

[@woowoowitchymom]

Girl, same!

[@slimpyman]

[@keithamos6992]

"windy sound effects for that REAL outdoor feel " LOL.. I love your sense of humor and the way you teach

[@woowoowitchymom]

Got my moxi skates yesterday, but I’ve been watching you and planetrollerskate for a month! I mastered bubbles yesterday and had my husband laughing when I said, “down with the butt up with the gut.” You are such an amazing teacher and everything is explained so concisely.

[@teresasmith2285]

Where did you get your skates I have my old ones from about 40 years ago LOL I need new ones

[@taniadaniela7127]

Teresa Smith c7s, moxi, chaya, impala skates are in rn

[@Vixa_Jaz]

This is perfect timing. With everything going on I’m taking advantage of having more free time and really dedicating that extra time to learn how to skate properly.

[@P-P-Panda]

Beginner skater here! I just got my skates yesterday and I’m watching this video as I sweat my brains out in the hot sun w/ them on rn. 😂 This is so awesome and scary!

[@TheSimplegal]

My husband laughs at me when I bring a broom but I don’t care haha!! I’d rather be able to skate more confidently than be hung up on all the rocks! Going to check out your wheel video right now, sounds like exactly what I was looking for!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

So true!

[@pattiphelan4363]

Aloha from maui!!! I used to skate as a kid ,I am 61 now and your videos got me back out there!! Your videos and moxie girl videos are awsum for beginners. Thank you

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

That is awesome! Do it!!!

[@alexwolfycat]

can you do outdoor rollerskating-backwards skating safety?💜

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

As long as there aren't TOO many cracks when starting out. I'm actually teaching my 16 year old right now outdoors. Mainly in the street, so she's getting really good at going straight, but it's time to start working on her turning. She would get to a turn at the rink before they all shut down, of course, and revert back to bubbles/scissors and lose pretty much all of her momentum. Trying to get her to lean into the turns and pick her feet up. We've got a lead on a MUCH smoother surface, so once it stops snowing here, we plan on heading up to the local elementary school parking lot. They have, what they call, a "loop". Basically it's an area for dropping off the kids that has a little, grassy, "island" in the center that the buses and cars circle around so it's the perfect area to simulate a rink situation. :)

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Absolutely.

[@pamelagilmore7222]

This is great! Can you make a video on how to strengthen your weak leg? I feel so unstable on my none dominant leg.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Great suggestion!

[@Dirtysoda_]

I also need this

[@alicegledhill8627]

Me too!

[@Noloyiso_M]

My right calf actually hurts when I skate cause my right leg working so hard to compensate for my non dominant left

[@Toadster_Strudel_]

Yes please

[@emashearin2616]

you have the cool aunt vibes and it makes me so happy

[@kiandraplummer2095]

Just did my first trail skate. 😍 Totally used all of this advice. I did 7 miles. This was my first long distance skate. I was definitely bringing up the rear 😂

[@sharonwilgenburg5143]

Thank you for this! Our town doesn't have a rink nearby, so outdoors is our only choice. I never knew about the split stance--what a great option. I haven't skated in about 40 years and I appreciate the advice to practice 10 minutes a day. I got all the safety gear, too, b/c I don't want to chance any broken bones if I can help it. I'm sure I look a sight, but who cares--I'm happy!

[@kimberlyzuniga4817]

I’m 21 and never skated before in my life. I just took it up 5 days ago and I’m obsessed with the feeling but still learning balancing/speed/turning everything lol. My dad and I go out to the empty movie parking lot near my house since nobody is there everyday and it’s so much fun! I hope learning on the rough parking lot will make skating on smoother surfaces easier when I get there lol

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Awww I am so happy you get to skate with your dad!!!

[@TinyLittleRabbit]

Some people just positively radiate positivity, and you are one of them! You're sunshine incarnate, I swear 😍

[@ThePortalTheory]

My 23yr old daughter got me to get some beach bunny moxies. Her and her friends are starting to skate and have invited this 45yr old to join them. Great mom and daughter time! Great excercise. Thank you sooooo much for these videos!!!! Xoxo

[@alisonsmith4143]

You have perfectly addressed everyone of my skating outdoor fears!

[@elizabeth.tuihala]

I just got a pair a few days ago and I am way to confident... I kept repeating in my head be fearless girl... In my mind I thought I looked like you 😌 but in reality my legs were shaking no balance watsoever and my husband said i was all the way leaning forward im surprised i didnt eat it lmaooo 🤣 Anywhozles thank you I love your skate tutorials 👏🏾 By 2022 I should be a pro skater & by then I can drive up to huntington beach to skate at your rink!!! In the meantime its day 3 i got my knee pads on, your videos on repeat & im ready to get back out there wish me luck 🤞🏾😆

[@soniabuzzelli598]

Exactly what happened to me lol in my mind I was skating like when I was 12 but just got my skates today and had a hard time lol but I am determined!!! 😂 lol

[@saramock]

As always, SO good! And I have to say I felt so seen when you said skating outdoors is scary! 😆 For awhile I thought something was wrong with me for being nervous rolling around my neighborhood. But learning from your previous outdoor skating video, I focused more on the staggered stance and it changed my game! So thank you!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Love that!

[@1jackjade1]

I agree with this! I’m on day 17 of my daily skate challenge and i haven’t skated on my street yet because I’m scared! But after this video maybe today I’ll venture onto my street for the first time!

[@deeanderson0173]

I’ve had my 7year old daughter watching her and my sugar plum learn to skate in 1week she’s doing exactly what she’s demonstrating we’ve been skating outside for 3weeks love her ❤️🥰

This video was super helpful! I've been intimidated by the grassy gaps in trails but I think I'll give it another go now that I see you can get over them no problem :)

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Tenareful]

I'm so lucky my town has so many fantastic outdoor skating locations we have an old railway line that has been turned into a bike path with super smooth asphalt that runs all the way from one end of the town to the other and we also have some great car parks at the sports complex that are really nicely concreted which is good because our roads and footpaths can be quite rough

[@theham2222channel]

Are you talking about the Beltline?

[@pheonixleaf9810]

It is so funny you mentioned bringing a broom outside because about two months before both covid and this video THATS EXACTLY WHAT I DID!!

[@ajeenahgreen4522]

Hi. I JUST took our broom with me to the basketball court a week ago; so you can imagine my face when I saw your video come up on my feed. Lol I'm hoping to visit Fountain Valley Skate Center when we can travel again. You made my day when you took a picture with me!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Awwwww yeah!!! See you at the rink :)

[@melodiebrookman4752]

This lady is great she must be a skating Coach! Plus I love how she shows you how she cleans off the surface in the beginning lol ! I am a figure skater and have pic skates and been trying to pic skate! My roommate bought some roller skates so we can skate together & she doesn’t know how to skate at all, so this video is awesome because pic skating is very different from rolling skating! Thank you very much for your help!

I’m here after watching the planet roller skate video! I would love more outdoor skating videos!!

More to come!

[@tsearrarex5416]

This is so helpful omgg I've been skating for 4 days out side (I'm counting the days and video taping my self and going back and reviewing what I'm doing right/wrong) and I keep falling *almost* every time I hit a crack or some grass and this makes so much sense I can't wait to get back out there!!!

They are a rescue! Greeting from Greece ❤ P.S. We're skating only outdoors...there is not even the idea of a skating hall here.

[@aeschylus4829]

I’ve been using my older sisters massive roller skates and I’ve managed to do so much such as lift my right foot upwards and roll forward aimlessly, and I wish I can do this outside but I’m wearing Chicago skates and they are very bad for outdoors and extreme like skating so oh well. Turns out learning things inside is a lot more better then outside.

[@Reikieyesoracle]

Thanks for the in-line tip! I was about to switch to inclines just for the crack issue. I will try your trick first. Keep them coming you are super helpful 💗

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Glad it was helpful!

[@shellyscholz1256]

I’ve been roller skating since the sixties but Covid has forced me outdoors. I first bought a cheap pair of skates and I couldn’t turn on them. I’m hoping that my new skates are going to be better. I’ve had to learn a lot about the mechanics of skates, especially cushions/bushings. The first pair I bought had zero shock absorbency and it actually messed with my knees. I’m thankful for these videos!

[@teresasmith2285]

I love you... I haven't skated in 40 yrs. Yes I'm 62 and use to compete in the 70s and 80s. I'm trying to start skating all over again your tutorials are marvellous.

[@cherylmccutcheon2691]

I went skating on a walking trail ,it was nicely paved, but it went up and downhill. I could not figure out how to stop downhill, I wore my stopper down on my skates. The only way i could figure out how to stop, was to go for the grass, fell down three times, not good for a 57 year old. lol. So how do i stop when Im outside?

[@aquaopa1]

She has a video for that kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3Scf2V4ndGXf6s I am also an older skater and that is one thing that I never learned in my youth. HOW TO STOP!

[@cherylmccutcheon2691]

@@aquaopa1 thanks kizzy

[@theartist_harlivi]

Planet roller skate has a few videos that talk about hill bombing/skating downhill. I’ve tested it on my driveway (small scale) and on an underground car park. I went for the version where you go backward and you use a staggered stance using your toestop of the skate that’s the furthest downhill to control your rate of descent. I found it really easy but haven’t gotten the confidence up yet to go forward downhill yet!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

I will revisit this topic for sure. Stay tuned.

[@cristinaasla1368]

I just bought a new pair of skates and I was shocked by how difficult it was skating outdoors compared to roller blades. So happy to practice today now that I found this video.

[@tubbosducknamedbenson8485]

I tried roller skating outdoors today for the first time... I fell a lot! After I watched this video, I went back outside and I didn't fall, nor was I scared! Thanks so much!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Great to hear!

[@chriskater]

I have at least two months without hitting the rink (much like everybody else) due to this odious pandemic that is driving us all crazy. I was starting to at least move and cruise in an acceptable manner; I was very happy with my progress. Now watching you skating outdoors (in the super easy way you make it look ----while it's not---- ) makes me feel awful. I miss this. I really want to get good at that, and I just feel this lockdown has taken a huge toll on my past skating wannabe life 😥😥

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

The more you skate outside, the better you will be inside.

[@nadiafuliaurcelay4578]

[@banyarydym]

I skate on rollerblades but I learn so much from Dirty Deb as her teaching method is clear and simple. Wish she was an inlineskate instructor. She's the best.

[@Leablak]

You are such a great teacher! I've been skating a little for a few years, but I'm so challenged. Nothing comes natural. Haha. People are always like "Just throw yourself into it!", but that never works for me. So hearing you, a VERY experienced skater, say that it's okay to practise off-skate or on carpet is such a relief. And the way you really break all the movements down. Wow! I feel like going outside right now!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

YES! I am going to address that very concept of "just throw yourself into it!" tonight when I go live on KZbin. I hate that idea for so many reasons!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cricketkiran]

Thanks for sharing!! I will do a whole video on transitioning. I was a figure skater on quads.

[@TheQueensStash]

I’m 35 and just started back skating last year. I started skating outside this March due to rink closures and you just Confirmed that I’m skating properly outside! I use the staggered stance/ toe up to get over debris and the neighborhood kids are in Awe that I don’t kill myself Lol. Thank You!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Oh this is awesome. You are going to be sooooo good when the rink opens back up. Outdoor skating develops soooo many more skating skills.

Thank you so much for teaching the mechanics, just doing something and actually knowing what you’re doing is a world of difference!

I love your videos but I’m getting so overwhelmed with everything you need to learn to skate outside lol. Ugh I just want to skate outside by my house since the park is super far from me. But you’ve helped me so much with even starting to skate and how that’s why I will continue to watch your videos you really explain in detail what needs to be done

[@starlsdd6278]

An excellent teacher! Most just wanna show off their expertise and I thank you. I'm going to go to your site to decide what kind of skates I want to buy for the first time. I had life-threatening injuries that they wanted to amputate my lower legs that I escaped the hospital 11 years ago. If I don't wear proper Footwear High legs and back hurt. I actually wear professional dance sneakers in my feet and legs no longer hurt. Now I'm stuck with all these expensive sneakers

[@lauragwillim1055]

Wow! I’ve watched countless skating videos over the last week preparing for the arrival of my first pair of quad skates and you are by far, the best instructor. None of the outdoor skating videos I watched ever went over different foot positions or skating techniques based on the terrain. Or how you might combine those different techniques. Most tell you to go around debris. It’s so much more clear to me now, where I need to start in my outdoor skating. I like the idea of picking a convenient and maybe quiet location devoid of a lot of traffic, to practice until more confident in your skills. You are ridiculously funny too. I was cracking up through this video. 🤣 I ordered the sure grip boardwalk in tan with red wheels. They arrive tomorrow! They are my bday gift to myself! I’m super stoked!

Thank you so much for your videos DD! I'm a beginner, I just went one time outside, and my biggest problem were cracks and pebbles. You just gave me the greatest trick! ❤️

Waiting for my pads to start outside. Nervous about eating concrete, not gonna lie, but y’all reinforce falling safely and that is comforting. Much love from the Bay Area
