How to Roller Skate - How to DIP!

[@abbysmith3363]

I’ve been skating for YEARS. derby, hockey, speed team. All professionally I ended up having a pretty bad fall at the rink due to a little girl cutting me off a screw being on the floor. Tore my IT band in my left knee and have a small tear in my hip. Due to all the muscle and nerve damage it’s completely numb just below my knee and I’m still an avid skater THANK YOU MUSCLE MEMORY! I am mostly on 265 Riddells I used to be able to dip but not feeling my left leg has been…interesting, I’ve had to reteach myself how to do it. IT TAKES TIME AND PRACTICE! Once you get comfortable with riding your edges and you’re a strong skater backwards it’s like the puzzles fit perfectly. Just don’t give up!!

[@susanquinlan7426]

I love your teaching philosophy. i learn more from you than anyone.

[@elvinmay54]

It might sound silly but I do like when you have that set up because I can tell which is left or right foot as you have different colour wheels

[@woowoo_playz]

You have really helped me learn how to roller skate bc yesterday I was terrible and kept falling over but today I watched your videos and I was better and actually was skating

[@whalium889]

Oh that makes sense why I can’t get dips. I need to drill back outer edge 3:55

[@deefootwork_]

I remember I asked you for dip tutorial a while ago… glad to say I learned how to do it in about a month… dipping is very big down here in Houston

[@friendlytester6861]

I’m in Houston and agreed

[@MSWHITE19901]

Finally!!!! I love this move and have been trying to master this for months! Thank you so much for teaching us!!!!

[@TheRozzyDozzy]

I'm nowhere near this but I looooove watching anyway. Put this on my 2022 to do list. You're the best teacher ever. ❤

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

You got this!

[@bobvita529]

This is the best tutorial I have seen on this. You are great at teaching the basic mechanics of the moves. It really helps you to better understand how to do the moves.

[@OG_Beckie_Leigh]

Well, this is making more sense to me. All the videos I’ve watched taught dipping from standing still. I’ve been struggling with how to get myself rolling without it being very choppy. Thanks for another great lesson, Queen! ✌🏼💜🛼

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Happy to help!

[@calgaryrollerskate7777]

You are an excellent teacher! This gave me even more ideas on how to teach it more progressively. Love your videos and I'm always working on how to teach the mechanics better!!

[@tlouie5398]

I just want to THANK YOU! I am a 53 year old woman, and just got my very own skates! I consider myself a beginner. I skated a bit as a kid, but was never the best . I could go forward but that's about it. I found your channel the other day and have been binging your videos ever since! You are giving me confidence and encouragement to skate. Especially your video "Am I too -----to skate?" I have learned so much from you already! Thanks again!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

That is awesome!

[@javon4300]

I got off to a great start trying this at the rink yesterday, thanks a ton!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Fantastic!

[@Kandykakez]

Aaliyah is such a sweetheart and so freakin talented! I’ve had the pleasure of skating with her at Skate Express in Chino and there’s nothing like seeing the moves in person. I’m inspired to practice every day!💙

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Couldn't agree more!

[@cbsluiz]

Love your teaching style ♡♡♡♡

[@justjennylynne]

Thank you for this!! I can dip like a boss on my right leg, but as soon as I try to connect it to a left leg dip my brain short circuits. 🤪 I think your tip for how to drill that back outer edge is going to help a ton though... going to practice that on my left! I feel hopeful!! 🤞

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Perfect!

[@bettywilson7675]

Exactly!

[@kathrynstrietmann6056]

Im gonna look so cool dipping like this at the sf ,golden gate park skating place!

[@cindybrown5245]

You are amazing! I think I finally got it watching you now. Other people didn't make it as simple as you did. Can't wait to try it tmrw!

[@tiffanyf4155]

This may be the best dip tutorial ever!

Thanks Dirty, you answered my question. I'll keep working on my backward skating then I'll come back to finish this video. Thank you and sending you lots of love!

[@taniacardoso242]

I really appreciate it ❤

[@krinky74]

Have you made any new videos? Or did I just miss not seeing those in the link? Also, enjoy your tutorial skating videos . Skate frequently on the East Coast.

[@smurfette412]

can you make a tutorial for front dips?

I love this! Super helpful and cool

I didn’t watch the vid yet but you never disappointtt - can’t wait to get better at this move !!!

Thank you. I definitely needed this. Andn the training wheel steps to get to the main move.

Coming to the rink from Utah in April!!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Oh excellent. Hope I get to see you.

[@michellekolch9958]

Once again…nailed the tutorial! Wish you could visit Tampa!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Maybe one day! I really want to!

[@TheAndyMa]

Great tutorial! Loved being apart of it!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

You're the best!

[@youarelikepapa]

I’ve been doing that unknowingly since I started trying to go backwards, granted I probably have terrible form since I wasn’t trying to do it

[@andreachickie]

Thank you for explaining everything so easily!

[@jaimereis285]

I'm very interested in trying out riding like this behind skates. Thank you very much for sending Deborah.

[@faceformers]

You are the best as always! Thank youuuuuuu! I got it now :)

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Glad I could help!

[@shirley3346]

New Subbie just because I love the way you explain stuff ❤️

[@Ryan-my8wj]

Visited your rink a few weeks ago while in Cali. Left my skates at home because didn’t come for skating but figured We would use rentals and honestly have to say I was so disappointed. My girl and I drove an hour to get there and didn’t even end up skating because the rentals were literally slimy. They were like oily and left a residue on my hands. The vibe in there was dope tho. Can’t wait to come back with my skates and skate with you cali folk. I’m skate in New York and I love y’all vibe

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

I hear you. We finally got confirmation from the manufacturer that we will get our new fleet in the next 1.5 months. We have been to best maintain what we but have struggled with usage and staffing. Here's looking forward to a better experience next time. FYI ... slimy means we sprayed them with disinfectant.

[@Ryan-my8wj]

@@Dirtydeborahharry yeah we ended up just chillin on the side and watching. Like I said I still enjoyed myself even tho I didn’t skate. Music was on point. I’m a Skate Dj out here in ny/ny) so I always appreciate different skate styles and music. I’ll be back real soon

[@cin1317]

Hello Deborah when do you attend to visit rollerama in Sioux city Iowa

[@giftem4350]

You're fantastic!

[@bebepastiche9105]

Those skates are so pretty are they custom 😍

[@paularnold3315]

Can you comment on etiquette? Dippers can interrupt the flow on a busy floor.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Dipping is not done for every song. It takes a particular song to call out this move. I think it adds variety to the experience.

[@northwestpacific]

Cool! Can’t wait to try this!!! 💕💔🏆

[@jasmine27564]

In the simplest words ….. I fkn love you dude 😂💗🤞🏽

[@Imonederful]

this was great, can you do a video on how to stride?

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Do you have a particular stride in mind?

[@bambida1st]

Can you do video about the difference between this dip and an Ina Bauer?

[@bettywilson7675]

I ❤️ u 😍 thanks for all the vids!! I feel that I was never able to get this because I was being taught wrong. This may be the key 😉

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Happy to help!

[@YonkelCPrints]

Revelation tilt your shoulder back 💡 & practice lunges. 💕

[@claytonkirby878]

just in time im going sk8ing sat night

[@fist82]

Can this be done on inline skates?

[@danielliemarie4758]

How are you lunging without the front brake stoping you ?

[@celiaeimer4938]

Is it possible to still look good while doing this with stoppers?- does the dip need to be deeper - or.is there advice for that?

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

You can do it with toe stops. Just dial them up high.

[@jacisameri845]

What kind of wheels did you have on your skates in this video? They look like velvet but im not sure

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Sure Grip Velvet

[@jacisameri845]

@@Dirtydeborahharry with what kind of bearings?

You said you don’t intend us to all copy you, BUT… One thing I think we should all copy is your joy for skating. Thanks for all your great stuff!

Went to your rink last night. Holy crud I suck but I now have a ton of goals. My friend said he saw you. Be glad I didn’t come up and fan girl 😂😂

[@SensationallySilky]

You always make it look amazing

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Oh thank you!

[@Lady0Soul]

I can do a dip, but not dips. Meaning, every time the free leg comes back, there's a little pause/ hesitation (?) before switching to the other side. Also I don't know how to control the direction while dipping. There is no skate rink here, but if there were, I'll be all over the place distracting others😅(Sorry if my choice of words sound wierd, English is not my 1st language 😬)

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Part 2 of this video will address this issue! Coming very soon! Your English is perfect.

I’ve been waiting for this one! Thanks Dirty!!!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Hope you like it!

[@AlexLeavitt]

Dirty, do you have any tips on keeping up momentum? I've tried this move a few times this week for the first time, and I find that after about two dips, I slow down to a halt and can't keep enough movement to continue with more.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

OKAY! I will make Dip part 2! I will address momentum, getting back to center and having a "good" side! Will do my best to film it this Monday and get it out in 2 weeks.

[@AlexLeavitt]

@@Dirtydeborahharry Amazing, thanks so much! Your videos have been so helpful to thousands of us!

[@ilariar.3961]

I've been practicing these for a while and it happened to me a couple of times to fall (always on the same side, the bad one of course lol). I've been thinking...could it be because I was going too slow and therefore losing momentum so since you have your balance off-foot this results in falling on your side/bum? 🧐 Cause I'm pretty sure I got the movement right but maybe I need to try to start with a little bit more speed? (I do them really slow because I'm still a little scared but If that is the problem I am willing to try a bit faster)

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

I am making a part 2 to this video. It will address one side vs. the other, coming back to center and gaining/maintaining momentum. It will definitely help you. Be out in one week.

My wife was thrown out of a rink today just now bc someone thought this move was too provocative. The place is called Rollercade in sunset hills here in St. Louis area

[@paullong1737]

Everyone at the rink can do this but me. Finally

[@jaimereis285]

I'm waiting for a text from you written by you to make me more enthusiastic about roller skating.

[@jaimereis285]

Thank you.

[@nina-marieswanigan1270]

Hi Skaters! Make sure your toe stops are OUT for this move! You're gonna need jam plugs or you will trip yourself!

[@godjhaka7376]

For newbies yes. But for advanced skaters they know how to position their foot so they don't hit a toe stop, same as skating on the toes with stops. Hope you didn't injur yourself bad?

[@chaseskaters]

[@SaminSays]

should i take off my brakes before trying this? dips are on my list of things i wanna master!

It helps!

[@Jesx-jv7eq]

How long have you been skating? To be this good at least 10 years

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

I have been skating my for years. People in this video (aside from Alliyah) are fairly new to skating.

[@SeattleDinghyer]

Dirty-- my local rink has the numbers on the ceiling, too. I don't want to seem like a dumbass.. is it for figures?

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

The numbers are for playing different games (i.e. dice game) and for organizing groups of people or start positions in some competitions.

[@vape_monkey]

Thank you so much for this. Do you have instructions on edge work? both forward and backward? Cheers

[@bambida1st]

From watching a ton of her videos I think she would advise to practice forwards and backwards bubbles and scissors. It’s a great to learn your edges
