I was FLYING yesterday down a road and hit a pinecone and fell directly on the right knee. If I wouldn't have had my knee pads on my knee cap would've been destroyed! I even cracked the knee pad in half 😂😂 I dont care if I look stupid, I'm always gonna wear protective gear.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Pinecones!!!!! Only good for starting fires.

[@nicolebowman7354]

Safety NEVER looks stupid! Glad you knee is safe!

Why do we think that caring for our body looks stupid? Stupid the people who makes us feel stupid 😡 I think is the smartest thing on earth and that means you worry for yourself and cherish yourself

[@tabithaericson6057]

I fell on my knee yesterday I haven’t gotten knee pads and stuff yet 🥲

[@fluffyunicorn1515]

Hi, I wear protective gear for roller skating but not for ice skating. I have never seen anyone wearing full protective gear on the ice rink, I think I would look silly. This has made me rethink. Better to look silly that have an injured knee cap? I don't know what to do now.

[@hollieburns8513]

My butt hurts, this video made me feel better about being a beginner and recently fallingl right on my butt. I need this tips too.

Oh I hope you are able to heal up quickly!!!!!

I was nervous to start skating after I saw how many of your commenters skated for five minutes and broke every bone in their body, but this makes me feel much better! Thanks, Dirty!

[@Kiwikick238]

I worry about hurting my wrist since they’re so dainty and I can’t imagine not being able to draw/paint so if I can I always try to squat and force my fall on my butt since I have a pretty cushioned one haha

I’m a painter and I broke my wrist skating the other day! Luckily it wasn’t my painting hand lol. Definitely going to wear wrist guards always from now on (after I heal)

[@juliaburundarena6955]

@@Kiwikick238 don't be! they work perfectly, I always land on my wrists (got them sprained a few times, I try to fall with my butt but I fail miserably), and since I got wrist guards I fell many many times and never injured my wrists again! Do practice bending your elbow though, wrists guards and bent elbows will almost for sure prevent wrist injuries!

Watching this wearing my wrist brace after falling badly and spraining my left arm. But I'm undeterred! Getting back on skates as soon as my hip flexor isn't spasming. : ) I also ordered protective gear and will wear them next time as a middle-aged learner. I just lost focus for a second as I went to ask the teacher a question and boom I went down. Oops! Great reminder to *always* keep my knees bent. Thankfully I didn't hit my head. Appreciate the debris info, too!

[@NatalieBoat111]

How did you do it?! Also trying to avoid hurting myself

[@michiganwaterwitch]

@@NatalieBoat111 I was skating out of the driveway and my back wheels got caught on the edge of it 😭 I knew it was broken the instant I fell. I found it really helpful to fill my social media with other skaters who have been or are injured. It’s just part of the journey!

[@NatalieBoat111]

Hayley Towers UGH I’m so sorry! Glad you were able to keep a positive outlook despite the injury- are you still skating?

[@ashleighbrickland7645]

doing the same thing after i broke my wrist hahaha. broke mine the same way but the driveway was sloped, my trucks were still tight, couldnt stop, lost balance... buying protective gear as soon as i can have more motion in my wrist without so much pain!

[@hightopasiann]

Lol just injured my already injured tailbone 3 days ago so now im looking at videos on how to avoid injuries

[@freeenergyscool]

Thank you for this. I just turned 49 and started up skating after I had to take a break from paddlebarding. I was practicing on my driveway and learning some new skills. My neighbor was talking to me and I got too close to the edge of the concrete and smacked my tailbone on the edge. I don't want to be afraid to fall, but this hurt. And then, this video popped up on my playlist like it was reading my mind. I am not letting the comments of my friends get to me. I want to get better. I love the way I feel on my skates.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Not to downplay your injury but it is the most common of all in skating. Every single skater suffers from this injury at some point and then returns to skating. Figure/freestyle skaters hurt their tailbones fairly often when learning more difficult jumps. Just know that you will enjoy skating again and again :)

[@freeenergyscool]

@@Dirtydeborahharry I do love it! I love getting better each time I practice! So easy to just toss on some headphones and get going! Thank you!

[@cutietube14]

I bought my skates back in April but Ive been skating altogether about 1 -1/2 week and I'm finally getting outta the Bambi stage 😌😅😅and its so F**king fun!!!! I put on my music and cruise ☺️☺️☺️learning how to turn came naturally; however I'm practicing stopping and it is challenging but your videos help !

[@truetexangirlj6280]

I just got over a tailbone break from trying a little ramp at the skate park. I thought my big butt had enough padding ... 🤬 no. 🤕

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Right?! You would think natural padding would work!

[@juliaburundarena6955]

Just started skating a few weeks ago, improving so fast thanks to your videos Dirty! I can't count how many falls I've already avoided by getting in the down low position, and the happy feet step saved my butt outdoors more than once too. Thanks for your awesome teaching Dirty! watching from Argentina here :) keep it up!

[@Alisasi]

Sending this video to my boss after she bribed me with a croissant to postpone my skating adventures until my coccyx heals (and kids go on a half term break too). I’m currently carrying a donut pillow everywhere with me and trust me, there is nothing cooler than a twenty something young teacher explaining how she injured her butt learning how to roller skate.

[@Dobemandan]

Don't forget bruised egos. ;). Lol

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

TRUTH!

[@Bluemgwes]

I sprained both of my wrists a couple days ago after falling backwards and catching my falls. Now I'm watching all the videos I can so I can get back in the rollerskating rink as soon as I'm done healing! You rock!

[@QuirkyandCrabby]

One of my skating fears has always been falling in public...not just falling, but where people could see me. I’ve seen a lot of videos lately of good skaters having spectacular falls, and it gave me some reassurance. If they can fall in public, and put it on social media for all to see, I guess it’s not so bad. Also, falling on your tailbone can hurt for not just weeks, but YEARS. It sucks!

[@mollym1758]

I love all your videos but this one right here 👏🏻 thank you for everything! Youre the best and your vibe is out of this world 🫶🏻

[@margeauxmcclelland3338]

Thanks, Dirty! I'm recovering from a fall I had last week where I did land on my tailbone and wrist hard! 😭 Nothing is broken, but It sucks to have to take a break from skating this week. I'll try to keep these tips in mind.

[@psykodiffeqparty]

Me too, ouchhh, I fell backwards and I knew exactly what was happening...I had protection but it still hurts

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Awwww damn! I am so sorry for you. Hopefully you heal up quickly.

[@ParadiseIsStupidAndsoAmI]

you talking about how it's natural to put your hands out reminds me that when me and my brother were younger he thought himself to fall with out his hands. he would spend hours literally just falling face-first into the dirt lol

Hey, Deb, finally u did it. Congrats on getting a 100k subscribers. Just keep sharing us with ur inspiring and energetic videos on your skate. I love it.

[@torintims7708]

I bonked my tailbone really good a few months ago its been like 4 months and I still get phantom pains when I move a certain way. Learned how to fall the second I got home. Ice pack on my a$$ and tears in my eyes

[@Kim0rly]

I only just started skating and already hurt my wrist 😂 Got some wrist guards on order lmao Thanks for the tips Deb ❤️❤️

[@weasleygurl26]

Funny this video comes out right after I badly sprain my wrist practicing on rough asphalt last night after work...

[@queenshroomyt]

I’m glad I watched videos on how to prevent injuries before I began learning to skate! I fell on my first day, but I only bruised my leg because I didn’t panic and knew what to do! and now I’m not afraid of falling! skating is too much fun to be held back by fear!!

[@keyosuke]

Your happy feed tip is pretty good. I've been doing that on inline skates on every kind of terrain for 20 years and it's a good start. The next step is lifting the landing gear the moment it gets hooked on something, before the plane goes down, where you are the plane. That's for massive obstacles and it takes practices to feel the skates binding and automatically lift knees while throwing your weight backwards to compensate for the tendency to stumble forward. These are great videos.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

The bit about "liftin the landing gear" is key! I instinctually do that every time my wheel hits the tiny debris that will take you down in a moment

[@akwright4116]

Thank you! Thank you! I fell on my butt and my tailbone injury has had me giving my skates the stink eye, this encouraged me to get back to it after a week of rest!

[@MegSluyterLipGlossandLumber]

I broke my finger 10 days after starting trying to get over speed bumps, three in a row and the last one got me 😕 At least that hasn’t stopped me though! Had to add, your hair looks amazing!🖤

i’ve been waiting to fall i know that had to happen so it happened today. i’m a beginner only skate in my back yard was getting confident not sure what happened but i’ve watched enough youtube and mixed with my fear of falling i got all the gear thank goodness for my crash shorts. butt is a little sore i mean a tiny tiny bit...and my wrist guards..my second fall was worse then my first fall,my first fall i fell forward on my knees and hands. i’m happy with my falls. it made me less afraid of falling as a 61 yr old beginner. thank you DirtyDeborahHarry.

I'm not giving up, but I am hiring you as a coach. My husband won't let me quit anyway. He said it's the name of the game to get injured in any sport. Waiting for October to open up.😉

[@zoraowen6672]

Oh, Dirty, I love learning from you so much! You have a gift.

[@ranchdubois6255]

The rink I go to has a plexiglass barrier you need to step over to get into/out of and on my way out my foot slipped (I had my skates on) and I landed right on my crotch. It was a scary trip to the ER 🥺 this is more of a freak accident but hopefully no one ever has to experience this pain because OUCH.

[@elleyj1754]

Aww I am so sorry!! I hope you got through it quickly and healed right back up. The rinks I go to have a portion of the wall to step over too (being hockey rinks)... so thanks for the warning about that.

[@alicialabreche4296]

Good video. I'm on week 3 from my butt injury, and had padded shorts on. I believe the pads saved me from a fracture, because I felt my soul leave my body when I fell. It happened while trying to transition. Even bought a butt pillow to sit. Was feeling discouraged, but I plan on skating again in a few days. Thanks for the video!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

I am telling you... tailbone smacks are no joke! They are an endless source of pain, discomfort and awkward conversations with other people. Heal up quick my skater friend.

[@angelhoegarden]

Yees those padded "diaper" shorts saved me! I fell straight on my tailbone on my first time skating and felt nothing! I tie a shirt on my waist to cover it. Ι only struggled a little with my neck as that fall was like a shock and i had a whiplash effect. I will have in mind to keep the chin down then also.

[@fernandafernandez4618]

I'm 40 years old and broke my wrist just 4 months after I start learning. Back then felt so stupid using protection and now I feel stupid for not wear it. From now on knee and wrist protection is a must for me.

[@CreekCat1]

I took a hard fall on the tail when I was going over a bridge. My fault. I did some kind of little panic move when I got to the expansion joint of a bridge. It actually didn't hurt me but it scared the crap out of this older couple that saw me fall. The man came running to help me as I popped up. The worst injury so far has been to my left shoulder. I guess I bruised or injured a tendon. It's been about a month and I'll get almost 100% then jerk my arm or some guy at the rink runs into me and it sets back the healing. I wear pads and helmet outside but not at the rink. I'm going to start wearing wrist guards at the rink, too. I'm 64 and have only been skating for 8 months after nearly 50 years. Every time I've fallen it's because I was not moving, going to slowly or simply hesitated when I should have sped up. I learn something every time I roll.

[@lashawndab3821]

Congratulations Dirty Deb 100,000K love ya ❤️! Oh yeah, I have a helmet, elbow, wrist, and knee guards. Still managed to bust up my shoulder.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Oh damn!!!

[@djspoonhandle2160]

As a new skater, practicing at the park in all the pads, I tried to walk a quick shortcut down a small grassy hill in my skates. What's the worst that could happen, right? I'm in all the pads. The EMTs called it a Classic Tib-Fib. Fentanyl would not dull the pain. Over the next week in the PACU (hospital was full) the Orthopedic team did an intermedullary nailing (rod down the tib, screwed in place), and gave me a cool scar from ankle to knee bc of compartment syndrome. It being Trauma Season, I was actually one of the luckiest people in there--wardmates were shot up and torn up much worse. The new residents were shiny handsome and vivacious, and it was a pleasure to be in the care of the Hive (of nurses and nurses aides). That break flushed 3 seasons-worth of outdoor activities down the jon, but I finally caught up on a whole bunch of touchstone over-long TV shows that one needs some working knowledge of in order to talk to the average american. Moral of the story is, don't wear the skates anywhere but a skating surface. Even the parking lot is too much, imo. People say "oh, did you do that skating?" I say "No--I did it trying to hike in roller skates".

[@djspoonhandle2160]

Also, having watched a ton of Dirty Debbie's tutorials while in recovery, I was super excited to get back onto the skates about a year later, and made very rapid progress!

[@Lia-eo8ys]

The idea of Injuring myself is really scary, I am 13 and have never broken anything. The worst I have gone through is twisting my ankle. But lately I have been getting into skating. Your videos are always, informative, easy to understand, and fun. Thanks for helping me with my skate journey! 😁💕

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

13 is such a great age to start. Your body has a lot more flexibility and agility that it will when you are MUCH older. Your body is more adept at learning new things too! So go forth and have fun!!!

[@MusicByAllonaMayost]

I tend to fall the most when I skate in small areas. I do my best to watch out for other skaters, and paying attention to my surroundings, but it still happens.

[@veronicaiship]

I just wanted to comment and say that I was one of those annoying "why not wear a helmet?!!" people. I've watched so many videos since, and more importantly I've ACTUALLY BEEN SKATING!!!! Thank you for teaching to use protective gear BUT NOT DEPEND ON IT!!!! As a beginner, the windmill will happen and it is better to know how to fall than depend on the integrity of gear to save you. You are SUCH a good teacher!!!

[@sexybabecoles]

I wear butt pad shorts, helmet, knee pad, elbow pad and wrist pad. Fell quite badly on my butt today but I feel totally fine (except my fingers are bruised). The butt pad works guys! Now I just gotta remember to keep my fingers up

I fell 2 days ago after tripping over a gutter dip I thought I could go through. I had gear on and fell on my wrist guards and my left shoulder hurt a bit after that. Then the next morning both my arms and my shoulder blades were so sore it hurt to move. I’m still in pain but I don’t regret going skating I’m still learning and can’t wait to go again!

[@angellynette8258]

49 and a new roller skater here. I also used to rollerblade so roller skating is a little challenging. Day 2 skating in my living room practicing bubbles and I went down. Lucky I turned to the side and fell on my hip but man I busted my elbow. Me being me I didn’t have my safety gear on and I won’t make that mistake again. I did by some craft foam that I will be making my own padding for my backside cause I done want to risk a tail bone injury.

[@revolutionunderground]

I had a "MILD" concussion in a bad car wreck, and completely lost control of my emotions because of it for MONTHS (common effect of any TBI). I almost lost my job and relationship because of it. Now I wear a helmet while skating even though I didn't before. Also have knee scars from not wearing knee pads. So yeah, I wear that stuff now

[@reesespuffs1349]

I broke my wrist and ankle in 2018, it was such a traumatizing experience, I wish I had this info then because I honestly didn't know why I fell until I watched your videos I finally got my revelation on body posture, I have permanent hardware in both and it turned my life upside down but I'm determined not be defeated and I will get back on those skates.

[@rebecca_stone]

I love your tutorials, Dirty! But this has been the most valuable one for me so far. The way you explain to automatically get low when losing balance - it's saved me countless nasty falls while getting the hang of skating on uneven / bumpy concrete. (No rinks in the part of Australia where I live, sadly!) Thank you

1st time roller skating was 2 days ago (I used to use roller blades 20yrs ago and remember not being afraid of falling). Now I’m so afraid of falling that I didn’t even try to make the actual fall less hard and fell TWICE on my butt. I had no idea about those padded shorts! And here my boyfriend and mother making fun of me of how I should wear a pillow around my butt lol Thank you so much for this video! Now I don’t feel as dumb as I did yesterday when I tried to skate again and I felt anxiety crawling over my mind and chest. Now that I’ve read many of the comments as well, it’s good to know it’s more common than I thought.

[@anitabratcher966]

Thank you so much for this video!!

[@jlitt2917]

omg, the tailbone. i once slipped coming down stairs (outside) and i landed right on the corner of the step on my tailbone. you're right, i was walking around very gingerly for 3+ weeks, making small moaning sounds every 5 seconds. it was the most painful experience ever and for that reason, my body instinctively seems to avoid landing near there when i fall when i'm skating. thanks for discussing this!

[@gainsforjesus1164]

I went skating with my kid’s and it was awesome! The only thing is I haven’t been skating in over 20 yrs and I was having so much fun before I knew it 2 hour’s had passed by and I lost my balance and my feet slipped out from under me and I fell backwards ,but after that I wasn’t scared of falling 😂 ! Guess I should of took a break!

[@dingles41]

Tailbone and wrists most common skating injuries. Fractured my tailbone 37 years ago at 18, had to learn how to walk again, and yes I did it skating. Have fallen on it twice again since I started skating again at 55, urgh, its such an inconveinience, all I want to do is skate, lol.

I love this video Dirty! I went for a little ride today on my skates with the outdoor wheels on which went very well but it was a little weird because I kept on feeling a vibrating sensation on the bottom of my feet that is why it felt weird but it was fun though. I did trip a couple times but didn't fall. I'm ready to do the outdoor skating again. lol

I didnt break my wrists because i had on wrist guards. I dont always have a helmet on, but i always have the wrist guards on

Padded shorts have saved my butt on multiple occasions!

You know what Dirty! You are so funny, I absolutely love your videos. "Ain't going to put an itty bittt little cast on it (tailbone)" haha I'm dying.

[@jordanmartin6418]

Totally ate the floor and busted my tailbone last night. Just can't wait for it to heal to get back out there:)

[@ardesyvonne9406]

This is the best!! I can’t wait to go to your rink! Your energy is amazing! No windmills!! Use your sweet spot! Roll your head down! I will remember your humorous way you give advice when I’m on skates!! Got the butt pads! 🍑 💪🏼

[@indiebaby]

"I didn't go down I'm stretching" I'm gonna use that haha

I want so much that butt protection before I restart skating, but all I see for sale in my country look like questionable quality 😭 My two greatest stories from when I skated as a kid are the time I fell face on the ground in the rink and the time I tripped in a couple of stones (one for each foot in sequence) on the street and managed NOT to fall forward 😁
