"Squeeze the vagina" has me crying 😂😂 because no one else explains it this way. This is so helpful. How do you not have more followers and views. Your videos are so good 🙌🏽

[@DeeDellimore]

awwhh thank you! Probably because I don't post enough due to work. but i have some more videos in the making!

[@Juvenile_Lunatic]

🤔 What’s that mean for me to do then? I don’t have one of those to squeeze

[@kazbrown5266]

Just​ squeeze your thighs together 😊

Hahahaha I'll try my best!

[@KevinsHope]

I love it that you are eating ice cream while you teach this lesson. LOL

[@lyssamolinaa]

Loved this! I can skate backwards, but was trying to figure out how to make it look more elegant. Thanks for the clear explanations!

[@DeeDellimore]

Thank you for watching and happy it helped🥰🥰

[@FernandoelChachi]

Just like me. Why aren't you my neigbor? ;)

[@evidenceroom]

I'm 39 and put my skates on..I impressed my 17 year old daughter by bravely turn around and skate backwards..I feel so brave!

[@ucetabarrolle9089]

My 12 yr old, ashamed that I started learning. Lol

[@raycombs547]

I’ve watched many videos and yours was the one that helped me grab the concept of skating backwards. Thank you❤

[@m4rykrm3n]

I just fell like that on my butt it felt like it was gonna burst LOL now I’m scared bc it hurts to sit and stand so for now I am binging all of your videos as practice ☺️💕

[@DeeDellimore]

Hahhaha falling on my butt doesn't really hurt anymore. I also try to choose a cheek to fall on slightly so I dont fall directly on my tailbone

[@morekushinaforthepushina9570]

@@DeeDellimore Wow, I never thought of that. Thank you for the tips 🙏🏻 really appreciate it!

The icecream part made me happy 😃

[@imaniitatmon4056]

This was so helpful! It’s not perfect but I got the moves down within an hour 💗

[@DeeDellimore]

Great! Now you can build on it and create your own style 😁

[@SmithOnToast]

Best skate teacher on KZbin for me! Thank you for breaking this down so clearly 🥰

[@DeeDellimore]

That is so sweet! I try my best to explain it the way I finally understood it

[@godjhaka7376]

Now wait til you find an actual US roller skate certified and licensed coach. Next level! 2 of my teachers combined won over 25 gold medals over 100 medals total , over 5 world Nationals in artistic and jam skating and also skater of the year. If you lucky enough to find one like this you'll be more than good enough to compete on the world stage. Good KZbin teachers in general are dirty Deborah, appleusa (she's certified licensed teacher), and Dunbar. I pickup things and learn from many , just the parts I need. For instance. Try appleusa advanced backwards video. Best video for backwards crossovers ever. But her video is for advanced level skaters, and this video is first time beginner backwards.

[@xhauntedgoblinx]

This is such a helpful tutorial ♥ I love that you got free ice cream😂

[@BucketsOfCool]

🙌🛼🍦I keep coming back to this video to master backward skating 🙏 big thanks! Love and appreciate your instruction and presence - You rock (and roll 😂)!

[@rotienoxoxo]

You are sooo awesome!! I am terrified to skate backwards but I'm gonna try it tomorrow! You are an excellent teacher. Someone needs to give you a sponsorship!!

[@DeeDellimore]

Thank youu!!! And if you know anyone willing to send them my way😜 also as for fear, try getting used to the feeling of going backwards first by pushing off of a wall in small increments.

[@plantmagicwoman4386]

This video ACTUALLY HELPED ME finally skate backwards still have to practice lots but fr the best video to get to it so far ! Thank you

[@vestibularmigrainesupport]

Squeeze the vagina made my life lmfao....seriously though, I have skated for 14 months and I love this backwards style but I have never found a video that explained it as clearly as you... .thanks so much! X x x

Practice makes progress, you’ll get there 🥰🥰

[@blaze9523]

Thanks

[@daniellebarbieri3186]

Can you make, or do you have, another video about the mechanics of your backwards turn? I cant tell which way to lean my body, which hip to stick out, and if i should be leaning on the inside or outside edges of my skates.

[@sarahmcdonough7713]

your analogies are great! like a coca cola bottle, lay an egg like a chicken etc lol they all immediately bring to mind whats needed. people teaching skating seem to rely on a lot of funny similes like this because its such an awkward thing to describe for people that have never skated before, but sometimes their chosen ones are a little confusing or strange, or you hear the same ones repeated by everyone, but yours are all PERFECT. i can tell you have a special knack for it haha and whoa that dutch surprised me omg i know that europeans are good english speakers but your accent is so like flawless that i guess i assumed youre a native english speaker wow!

[@DeeDellimore]

hahaha, i just try to describe it the way my mind sees it! I'm from the caribbean so English is technically my first language and Dutch my 3rd, so I usually speak English at home, I guess that's why. but thank you for the compliment!

[@Lucycolomar]

The dutch caught me of quard :p But your video helped me so much

[@DeeDellimore]

Hahahah It's my secret skill 😉

[@yikes6535]

This is more helpful than the skating backwards then the ice skaters showing you how! This is helpful for any type of skating!

great video! I've been roller skating for a little over a year and going backwards is still not something I am comfortable with. Your explanation (squeeze the vagina) is a lightbulb moment. I hope...I will practice this when I go next. Thank you!

[@DivineSoul999]

I loosened my trucks and wheels but I can’t even do a good bubbles. I bought the C7 skates from Amazon. What am I doing wrong? My skates seems so stiff, seems like they only go back and forward.

[@magiclay]

Hello...what skates brand are you using on 0:06... Cyan Wheels..black boots with purple..pink and cyan color...

[@DeeDellimore]

those are Rio Rollers leopard i think.

[@kyf5180]

Do you have any recommendations for the best way to fall while you're learning to skate backwards especially once the hips start to get involved? lol I am going to be drilling this one today and I can just see an instance where a rock might be behind me that I didn't see coming and I'm wondering if there's a better way to fall if I can help it 😆

[@DeeDellimore]

Try to fall on one of your butt cheeks or to the side if you fall. And tenst your abs if you fall back so your head doesnt hit the floor.

[@antinovel]

your video is the only tutorial i’ve seen that helped me finally be able to skate backwards!! ‘squeeze the vagina’ did it for me 😂😂

[@kantoinettetheblogger9748]

Grt... now I need a ver ji ji to skate backwards sheesh

[@camiladeoliveirasavoi8406]

Thanks for the tutorial, very useful! But, I saw that there are small sticks on the floor of the court. Where I skate also has it and I fall when I skate on them. What do you do in this case, besides trying to avoid going over the sticks?

[@DeeDellimore]

Great question, honestly I either try and clean up or if they are big avoid them a bit. But usually I just go over them. If you have enough speed and experience small sticks don't bother you as much anymore. Speed really helps with small obstacles
