did you learn how to skate fast?

Did you get your skates a size larger than your shoe size?

You should organize your video in a playlist in the order that a new skater should follow them! I’ve utilized every single one of your videos and I can skate better than ever thought and I just recently started! I just know that in my own experience, basically having a “weekly lesson” in order for beginners would help so much! LOVE your tutorials so much! I wasn’t even able to stand in skates and because of you, I’m transitioning, doing crossovers and everything!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

That is a fantastic idea! I will do that!

[@emoo2342]

I freaking love how talented, but down to earth you are! I have learned so much from your videos--thank you so much for the continuous concise, but detailed content.^^

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Thank YOU! I appreciate the compliment and I will do my best to put out some solid advice on how to skate :) My parents taught me how to skate and I am so grateful to them and my uncle who owns/operates the rink at 88 years old! I feel like I am just passing it all down xoxox

[@phoebemcaulffe1792]

I'm a figure skater who just bought a pair of roller skates and this was super helpful. Spinning is a lot easier on the ice.😄

Right?! In-n-Out burger is a siren call that can not NOT be answered!!!

[@xXoctoXx]

A skating rink has opened 5 minutes from my home ❤ and you have helped me so much. My dad was also an instructor when he was 17 but he has been out of it for a while. Took him last week and couldn't get his smile away from his face! Next time im gonna surprise him with some new tricks once i get some practice in! Thanks for all the help!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

OMG! Skating unites the generations! I love this so much.

[@izzebell]

i’ve been struggling to spin for weeks but after watching this video, i was able to do a spin after just a couple of tries!!

[@dR3aMfyre]

That intro was so dope ❤️❤️☺️

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

awww thank you.

[@mariamdream]

I’ve been practising the heel together toe together, but I haven’t actually tried spinning because I can’t quite get what to do with my feet during the spin. When you spin it just looks like your feet are almost gliding around so I have to admit I’m a bit nervous to try! Ps. I love your videos ! A lot of KZbin skaters do a lot of flashy moves and fancy editing with no real training so I treasure yours !!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

First off … thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you watching and support. When you first start "heels then toes" you will start gaining speed as you pull your arms to your chest. In order to continue to build on that momentum, just pull your arms in tighter and lift your body weight up through your core area thereby lessening the weight that is actually down on your skates. You will start to feel your feet "lift up". At that point … just hold on and go with it. You will feel all of your energy pulling in and up. One foot will be balanced on the toe and the other on the heel.

[@mariamdream]

Dirty School of Skate thank you SO much for breaking that down !! This makes things a lot clearer for me - Can’t wait to practise now ! :)

[@flowerbuttercupb4]

Mimimerow , i get all of what your saying...sometimes we just need to not over think it and let the body do what it wants to do..lol put some fun music on and just get playful in a easy space to play in..relax go easy and playful.Smile while you skate. just keep doing the exercise that Dirty DH shows us, practice the baby steps and before you know it , your doing it like clock work, remember to enjoy the journey of rollerskating just like everything else in life. gotta put the joy first.:)))) Have Fun:)))

[@yessisantacruz9663]

Dirty School of Skate if I could learn one thing and one thing only it would be to learn how to spin on my skates... with this breakdown of “feeling your feet begin to lift” as momentum is gained makes me dream of how liberating that must feel.

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

SO needed a new video today! My Godmother passed away Wednesday. We're skating tomorrow as a tribute (she loved to skate when she was younger and she was very close to my children, even video taped the birth of 2 of them for me) so...we'll be BEGGING the rink to play Old Time Rock and Roll if we have to!! (Most family's prefer Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" for weddings, graduations parties, etc. OTRaR has been my family's "party anthem" since I was 5...when the song first debuted.) Trying to be happy - I know she wouldn't want us to wallow - but skating with tears might be a bit difficult. Doing it anyway!

[@queengg3500]

Im so sorry for your loss..great way to celebrate her life. Many blessings

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

Thank you...and yep, she didn't want anyone to be sad when she passed and she actually rented out a whole restaurant - fully paid for by her - for after the funeral, with a band! That's just how she was. She truly believed life was a party so....we're partying! :)

[@sejiel1143]

I’m so sorry for your loss. Condolence :)

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

@@sejiel1143 Thank you. We did have a blast, though. Got to skate - something she loved. They played "her" song - we skated and were fine until the end...we went up to thank them and both me and 2 of my girls ended up crying THEN...as we explained why we wanted them to play it. Then we even got Chinese for dinner - one of her favorite foods. Pretty good Tribute Day over all. :)

[@sandyscalice2170]

I’m very sorry for your loss. My Grandmother passed away last January and I will always be so grateful for her love in my life. There’s nobody that loves you the way a Grandmother does.

[@its.kaylax_]

i didn’t watch this video but i learned to spin from your how to turn on skates vid lol! so much fun. i still fall but thats what makes it fun. im about 1-2 months into roller skating. your tutorials are so helpful thank you

[@daperd3]

You do a very good job of explaining skating techniques. Please keep the videos coming and thank you.

Thank you!

[@rmichelle1996]

That spin in the beginning!!! Queen!!!!

[@jupitersorbit]

The hard carb area 😂 You’re fabulous! Love these videos!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

I have a such a significant "hard carb" area that I feel it needs to be acknowledged :)

[@Newzchspy]

@@Dirtydeborahharry In fairness, lots of quad skaters, BOTh male and female get thicc from skating. Its a thigh, butt and calf intensive sport.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

@@Newzchspy Yeah but I have a tendency to back up all that skating with a fair amount of mac n' cheese soooo there you have it... :)

[@Newzchspy]

@@Dirtydeborahharry That's OK DD, we still love you!!! Seriously, its not just the carbs. Skating concentrates a lot on the hips, thighs and butt because that's where you carry your center of gravity. When I was speed skating, my thighs were like tree trunks.

[@m395williams]

[@corgidusty]

Thanks for this step by step. I've watched lots of videos before and even practiced and just can't seem to spin. But after following your steps a few times I actually moved a few inches on my own the right way. I really feel like if I practice daily I'll actually learn to spin,. I'm so excited! I just want to be able to something besides go round and round the rink.

Hello, I am from Pamplona, Navarra, Spain, I wanted to thank you for your teachings. Since I practiced it in the form of scissors and strengthened my legs and stability, I also started to turn backwards, the turns scare me. I hit myself against the ground but I am consistent with the practice so I am confident that I will be able to do much more, thank you very much💋
