There should be a Deborah in every city on this planet, the world would be a much better place!

[@KimberleyRoya]

I’ve been skating for 2 weeks and you literally taught me everything i know. I constantly repeat down with the butt up with gut every time lmao. Thanks for teaching us, you’re a true angel ❤️

[@SirenVoyager]

I'm from Australia & I feel like coming to the US would be worth it just to say hello to you! :D Your energy is infectious!

[@Dionaphannet]

Also from Australia and I think this all the time. In the most affectionate way, I think I get almost like 'bogan aunty' vibes.

[@elsieeyi]

Don’t come please

[@elsieeyi]

It’s to much stuff happening here racism killing etc stay where your at I don’t wanna see you get hurt!!

[@SirenVoyager]

@@elsieeyi you're very sweet, I do love the energy of a lot of Americans, but understand that times are rough right now

[@gt1cm2]

I’m in New Zealand and feel the same! Once the boarders open and it’s safe to do so I’m all in

[@austinvs]

I send your channel to every new skater I meet! Do you know how many of my friends know “down with the butt, up with the gut”? 🤣😂🤷🏻‍♂️ You’ll be at 100K in no time!

[@purpleknight8017]

Girl girl girl. In a month you've got me transitioning on my skates, going backwards, and now I can do this (sorta still needs work). Still though thank you so much. I've been having so much fun learning.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

OH I am so happy to read this comment!!! This is the kind of news I live for :) Make sure to watch these videos and start putting it all together: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paHVeZuJqt-Kj80 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIjJmZSOmt6Ul8k

[@AS-nh5sn]

omgggg I needed to find her months ago 😭

[@silby77]

I remember feeling so freaking stylish with my skating when I figured out this move! edit: my 9 year old daughter is doing forward crossovers like she is in the junior derby and she started skating in early March!! We love you Deb!!

[@tanyabarrett371]

I'm from London UK. I've been skating for just over a week. Started off looking like a baby deer but thanks to you, I'm now doing front and back bubbles, skating backwards and now learning the crossover. Your teaching is amazing. Thank you so so much. And 1234...down with the butt, up with the gut lool xx

[@14xx07]

One year later, this channel is coming to 200k already! 😍

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should hit it in about a week!!!! So happy to have so many supporters of this channel.

[@plainpennylane]

“Tighten your snack area” gets me every time - I appreciate your videos so much 🥰

[@fortieslocdandfine3134]

I'm 44 yo and am just picking up skates again after over 25 years ago. I quit after having an accident and hurting myself. Long story short, you are my new skating coach.😂 I've been binge watching your videos and am learning so much, well...I haven't gone yet, but I go today. Thank you for your knowledge.

[@celestefrank2694]

You make everything look so easy! Your outdoor tutorials really gave me the confidence to skate outside on the awful pavement in our neighborhood! Thank you!

[@paularnold3315]

Can you do a video where you just keep repeating "I just need you to practice". I don't know about others, but when I hear you say that each time, I feel like I need to do it ... For my birthday of course...

[@alisonliberatore6732]

Yes!!!!

[@CindyBallreich]

It took me sooooo long to learn this. I was so happy when I finally got it that I shot a video of my feet doing it so I could watch them grooving!

[@GirlKeepItReal]

You’re a great teacher omggg i learned how to skate backwards because of you thank youuu soo much 🥺, i would love a in person lesson but i live in Georgia ☹️

[@deadmana]

me too, and a few things! Deborah is incredible, I have been watching her for almost 1 year, currently I go to skating classes in my city (and I am the only one in the school who skates on a quads), and no teacher explains so well and in depth the movement of the body and the sensations, Viva Deborah! I would love to meet her one day

[@l.christinejones8164]

"get dowwwn, leeean, lift, set it down, & release!" Dirty you are so cool 😎

[@melindamulkins5766]

I’m back on Skates at 57. I just started outdoor skating two weeks ago and I am so Happy! I put on FUNK radio and have a blast. Thank you for all the great tips, I’ve learned so many things from you! ❤️

[@alisonliberatore6732]

Yay!!! I’m 50 and skating is my joy. I watch a new video and hit the parking lots to practice. ❤️🛼

[@mdeborah827]

I'm in NYC. The most fun I ever had was roller skating back in the dayyyy. My kid has already seen the sneaker skates from childhood. Such a lovely rink. Oh how I wish to skate on it. Owning a rink in my town would be a dream. You're a good teacher! Sending skate love to you!

[@devorajackson6098]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS WOMAN'S PATIENCE , HUMOROUS WAY SHE EDUCATES US SUBSCRIBERS. MY FIRST TIME WATCHING HER ABOUT CUSHIONS I SUBSCRIBED AND GOT 27 OF MY FRIENDS TO SUBSCRIBE IN THE SAME DAY. SHE HAS THE RIGHT ENERGY TO KEEP YOU CONFIDENT IN SKATING

[@claudianowakowski]

I love your common sense approach. Great crossrolls. I enjoy them as much on wheels as I did on ice. Such a fun skill. Now I need to get them backwards on roller.

[@melaniegindlesperger6333]

You've gotten me to go backwards for the 1st time in my life. Nave was able to do it as a kid, teen or young adult! Now I'm in my 40's & FINALLY doing it. Along with transitions!.... which are soooo much fun!! Now hopefully I'll get the crossover down the right way!!😎😎😀😀 THANK YOU!!

[@elishawilliams8793]

Im so grateful for this video. Ive been looking all over for someone to show me how to do this because ive been falling everytime I try it. EVERYTIME😅

[@JuliaGsocaljujujules]

Thank you for all the tutorials and breakdown videos you do!! These are so helpful and amazing! I definitely want to watch your videos!! 💜

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Glad you like them!

[@emmateff8266]

I love how you explain it more depth and then solidify it with a short and catchy summary :) you're a great teacher!!

[@joschilling3752]

Dirty, you’re such a great teacher! I’ve been watching all of your videos for weeks while waiting for my skates to arrive. THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE TOMORROW! I can’t wait. I was hell-on-wheels as a kid on steel-wheeled, clamp-on sidewalk skates. I don’t remember ever falling down outside. Loved going to the rink, too, where I definitely did fall down. But, it never stopped me. Kids bounce. Now I’m old, fat, weak, and somewhat brittle. But, I’m determined to get back on skates... with dorky looking safety gear to protect my brittle bones... and cruise my little neighborhood. I’m looking forward to getting stared at, ‘cause I’ll be waving at everyone and having a blast! Thanks for your great videos!

[@noctemheart]

So so happy I found your channel! It’s been 5 weeks with my new skates as an adult (I used to skate here & there as a kid) & the way you explain each step is so brilliant, thorough & clear - so thank you!! 👏🏼 I hope to get through all of your videos one day 💃🏻🪩☺️

[@licksnkicks1166]

I just started back into roller skating after a 30 year hiatus. Thank you so much! I am so afraid to do these! Not afraid of falling! Just subbed you❤️❤️👍 thank you for all these little tips and tricks! I love skating. No phone and NO computer. Just pure joy, happiness and great music!

[@olrinajhynise]

My dad is ordering me skates on tuesday and im so exciting and I've been watching you and Indy's videos for the past 2 days

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

YAY!

[@michellemead5552]

I'm so glad I found your tutorials. I started skating again at 52 and I was feeling like I'd reached a plateau as far as teaching and conditioning myself. Thanks to viewing your videos, I was able to practice falling correctly and doing crossovers and shoot the duck at the skate park today without fear, knowing I was doing things properly. I'll feel a lot more confident at Denver ROLL next week!

[@secondchild5801]

I couldn't do the bubbles when I started roller skating. Everyone else was doing it like it was a piece of cake, including others who had just started skating. No matter how various people explained it, including my instructor, I couldn't get it...until I watched your video. Now, I come to your videos for a confidence boost when I've been struggling with something and start to think I can't do it. Thank you. ❤

[@nieceyszymanski7746]

I was never able to do cross overs when I was younger but always wanted to do this fancy stuff. I know with you I can do this Dirty. You inspire me lots

[@arwaloves]

i have been skating for 4 DAYS and youve almost taught me everything i know, the rest is from dee delimore

[@otisgoree5711]

A year and 4 months. I'm a beautiful skater now. Thank you dirty

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

😀😀😀

[@Aspen_Husky]

I'm an inline figure skater, but theirs so few tutorials for them and you have been my saving grace! My skates have 3 wheels on a rocker and a toe stop, and so many of the things you teach have worked for me ❤

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Happy to help! THis makes me want to get a pair of those!!!

[@siennathique3779]

Thanks Debbie. After 42 yearsI have “Re-discovered skating! Enjoying your tips, tricks and advice. Rolling free in Illinois👍🏾

[@stephaniebanks122]

You are the coolest cat I’ve seen in a while. I love your teaching because you explain and demonstrate at the same time.

[@Alisa-utube]

DD, all your detailed explanations are EXTREMELY HELPFUL! Please don't ever think they're "drawn out" 😁. If anyone doesn't want them, they can skip forward! For beginner/intermediate skater like me, I really appreciate you breaking down every move, weight transfer, and specific body area focus. THANK YOU 💙💛🛼👍🎯

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

I appreciate that!

[@songlyon7795]

Good lesson! I started cross-over practice yesterday. I am getting stronger and better every time I skate. I love to skate! Thanks

[@werardgay5862]

your tutorials are literally the best you're such an amazing teacher 😭💕💖💓💗

[@tracyheath6076]

I love doing this on the trails outside. I also have learned that if I take time to warm up my abs and stretch I do so much better in control and flexibility !!!!! Also am trying to learn a version of this backwards....think you could do a video on that?

[@kevapollo]

ive being skating 40 years and you are teaching me new moves, keep it up look forward to your next video

[@jinajayanetti8785]

Just decided to relive my rink rat days from several decades ago. Your videos are so helpful!!! Thank you!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

RINK RATS UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are a special breed.

[@madsahren2208]

your video on crossovers helped me get it almost immediately...! I've only been skating for a few weeks and it really made me feel good to be able to get something so quickly. Cant wait to try it at the rink, same with these!

[@absolute-creature]

You're so smooooth, so natural, you make it look so easy and flowy, I'm excited to get my skates and start rolling 💙

[@benjamindupuis6740]

Woke up at 5am, coffee, watched your videos at 5.30am, at 7, I go out with my skates. Thanks for your work ! Cheers from France, Ben.

[@remosely06]

Just got back into skating. This was perfect!

[@alisonliberatore6732]

I just went out and worked on these for an hour and I think it changed my whole world. 😀

[@jessiejn8069]

These are a lot harder than I thought :))) But I must say, after struggling with them for three days now, my general skating, you know like straight forward skating, feels a lot more balanced and secure! Thank you So much! I don’t know what would I do if youTube broke down.. 😋🥰

[@ikramibraheem1547]

OMG Girl I love you you the main inspiration of me skating now!! So much love and respect from Australia 🇦🇺

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Oh I am so happy for you!! I have taught down under 5 times!!!

[@JScottGaribay]

Rediscovering skating after 30 years and these videos are invaluable- thanks so much

[@dawndemore196]

Thank you again, Dirty!!! Your instructions are perfection!!! I am having a blast on my skating journey!! ♥️ You're a sweetheart!

[@Ian.Oldmate]

G'day young lady. I'm in Australia & these day's an old fart. I recently put my old Hockey skates in for boot repairs. Its been at least 25 years since lacing them up. I used to skate every day when I was younger & still have confidence that I can do it. So I laced up for 15min yesterday. Man my balance is there but sketchy I still have sideways & reverse gears but same sketchy. I watched this video of yours & you reminded me of so pointers that I had forgotten about being a crusty old bloke now. I thought I'd just give it another go now to build up fitness. I'd like to say thanks mate for the reminders. I definitely tune back in to say G'day. Thanks mate. Stay safe kind regards Ian

[@Ophelia11]

Debbie, you make it all look so effortless. I love it.

[@jacklyncheung4993]

These are the videos I've been looking for!

[@mylene5795]

so incredibly happy for these videos ❤just got my skates today and im ready to ride!

[@tanktop25]

love your videos, you make me smile 🐣

[@KittyToKaren]

This move was so helpful for me in getting the hang of forward outside edges!! It was hard for me to feel mentally comfortable leaning into the outside edge because there’s no foot out there to catch you if you lose your balance.... unless you have your other foot ready to do a cross over :) plus it’s such a fun way to get groovy when skating forward. Love this tutorial

[@Margaritad3]

By far my favoriteeeee video !!! 😍😍 love it, thank you !

[@minilamabianco]

Best teacher ever 💓

[@neme100]

To be called Dirty, your technique is soooo clean! 💜 I’m a newbie skater and your videos are LIFE!

[@sandramercedesdiazsantilla83]

You have a lot of energy!! I really enjoy your videos and I just can say thanks for all your tutorials, I'm learning a lot with them! Keep rolling Deb! ❤️

[@baileybiggs5150]

This helped so much! Thank you, Deb!! My FAVORITE!!

[@naz7840]

Love this and looks like something I could maybe do! Cant wait to try it!!!

[@nickigreenberg1566]

I had really lost my skating confidence during isolation but watching your videos today and being reminded of the basics has brought it all back. THANK YOU - you are a shining light to this newbie skater! ❤️

[@karlinajewell4608]

Like the new music in the intro, and love when you wear that sweater when you skate! So flowy 🌊

[@ravenharper4334]

I love the creative suggestions. I'm working on this tonight! Great tutorial.

[@CeliaProuAnim3D]

You are the best teacher, just love the way you explain every steps and it's so clear !!!!

[@eugene6835]

Amazing how these videos are still resourceful and useful

[@theLunore]

Dirty D.!.. THANK YOU SO MUCH!.. I'm just a beginner, but everything I can do on rollerskates I've learned on your channel. Before sleep - I watch your videos, when I wake up (and have a time before going to work) - I watch your videos. While I'm working I'm thinking about how I will try something new from the videos I've seen😁!.. In these difficult times it really helps to move on and look straight into the future.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

YES! I love it! Look straight into the future :)

[@adamlee3026]

I loved the added layers in this one for intermediate and advanced options! Great to refresh in beginner things AND get a challenge to work on. Thanks!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Wow, thanks! I am happy to help.

[@savl9709]

Keep posting videos even if you feel its too much like figure skating! It's so fun to learn new skills and work them into whatever skate style you do, helps so much with practicing balance and control too.

[@chatsmeow2997]

Shout-out to your camera man who's always able to keep it smooth ✌️

[@nikitawilliams2479]

I love watching you. For many years I felt like I could skate and seeing you I realized I was doing a lot wrong. I'm glad I can watch you and correct my mistakes. Great teacher I even send your videos to friends

Gosh you're lovely to watch, live, love and learn Skating again. Skater since 4 years old. Off Skates for over 28 years. Loving that feeling again. Thank You 🙂🌺

[@vetsuzan9979]

So happy I found you, I am from California but living in México and gyms are just opening, cant play my usual sports, so I just started skating again after more than 20 years. And now we are receiving so much rain and a hurricane is coming, at least I can watch your videos and learn so much to practice when I can get the chance. You are so fun and amazing, my new idol ! You skate like a breeze, so delightful to watch

[@shimmypolkaroo]

Again! You're amazing! I have been outside practicing and I wanted to learn how to do this next! Thank you so much, Deborah!🤗

[@ellierosekates]

You're amazing! Thank you so much for all your videos! I'm 31 and have been skating all my life but have never really learned any nuanced tricks/tips. In one day you taught me backwards skating!! Thank you!! 🙏🏻😘

[@Viva_lapink_]

You have such a great channel! I can’t wait to get to the rink and practice some of these drills and techniques.

[@coriaurora-borealis6669]

Love your channel. You're explaining so good. Thank you. Greetings from Germany.

[@janessamelendez2046]

32 re learning to skate again i was self taught and I was pretty rusty when I started skating again, your videos are amazing thank you for teaching me all the fundamentals much love ❤️ from Bronx, Nyc 💫

[@EricaVeee]

Your intros are the absolute best! The meat of the video is always 100% BUT seeing your effortless, graceful skating inspires me to really work on fundamentals as a brand new skater! It makes me remember that the hours of edge drills will be worth it!

[@vidyabossom1637]

Thank you for your inspiration ❤

[@taryndodds1390]

I am definitely going to try this!!

[@ToiSharae]

I just got my skates!! I love your tutorials ❤️❤️😍

[@melanieward3846]

I started skating after 30+ years on Nov 22. It didn’t go very well for a couple of weeks, but thanks to you, I learned how to not fall and that gave me the confidence to do other things and get better! Thanks for all of your videos! My Sure Grips and I thank you for making learning fun!!!

[@darrenfaulkner7358]

Loving this channel. The outdoor skating tip videos are awesome.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Thank's Debb hope you have a Great Holiday week end.Great cross over's

[@diannatrueschollmeier3847]

Great video! Really breaks it down!

[@Krisstofers]

Watching this again, because I had some work to do, to fix my errors from last night... Having a hard time getting those wheels to just move left (for the left outer edge), OMG!!! Did she seriously just cross her heart for a Hail Mary!? Lol!!! The second you did it, then you said exactly what I was thinking!!! Lol... I was never baptized Catholic. However, I was raised Catholic and attended Catechism, and Mass, because my aunt was a teacher at her church. And you seriously just made me relive my childhood traumas!!! Now I gotta skate for therapy!!!😂
