I love when you tell us what we NEED to do. “Yes Ma’am”🧍🏾‍♀️

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

I am so glad you think so. I feel like I don't have a lot of time to get it across to you before one skips out on watching the video! LOL!

[@futurernfrancine4660]

Omg this guy at my rink would always say, "if you're going to fall, make it look good or purposeful." He would tell me alright do 3 good pushups when I fall. Now I'm able to do break dance moves before I even touch the ground. It's pretty fun. No matter how advanced I become these basic videos are great reminders to work on the basics of falling and such. Thank you for your videos, now if only I can get my friends to watch. 😂

[@NoukSilver]

Haha, I try to do that too. I once slipped at a roller disco (there was beer on the floor) and I just put my arms up and went 'ta-daaa! I totally meant to do that!' and went along my merry way. :'D

[@VictoriaGarcia-ry5tw]

Pushups holy cow! 🥴 That's intense!!

[@lacyladi9951]

When we fall at my rink the "ta-da" is most important.. I despise the pushup recommendations 😆

[@ARISUinW0NDERLAND]

@@NoukSilver You're a hero. 🙌

[@CarolinaMiC]

Best part about this..."When you fall...you're going to start questioning your life choices!" yup....hit that right on the head!

[@lanaelacourse2177]

I would love it if you could make a video of all the things that beginners should be practicing regularly. The real basic stuff. Sort of like an exercise strengthening practicing video. Like 30-45 minutes 😊

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Will do!

[@HingiKajoomer]

This would be amazing! I’m so overwhelmed because I’m out of my element. Thought it was going to be like ice skating and it definitely is not 😂

[@psg6065]

yes yes I second- I tell every skater I meet about Dirty School of Skate!

[@ROGUEXUNT]

The way she gets back up is truly the smoothest thing I’ve ever seen I WISH I COULD GET TO THAT LEVEL 😭😭😭

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Practice .... it will get better and easier.

[@ROGUEXUNT]

Dirty School of Skate :) I will thank you❤️😭

[@mymysticalchannel1967]

Glorya Grah...I know, I thought the same thing. Lots of practice makes it look easy. She has definitely put in the work so she can back what she says. I am learning so much from her videos! ~MYSTIC RS~ MY MYSTICAL CHANNEL

[@mdmnd2205]

That audio quality 👏🏾👏🏾

[@rikomatic]

Who the hell is downvoting this? This video and this human is awesome. There's a lot of life lessons in here. Not even joking.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

I always think that downvotes legitimize the upvotes :) Someone out there is just not going to get it to the point where they really don't like it and that is ok. As long as I am having a positive effect on skaters like you, I am happy to keep producing these videos. So thank you so much for your support. I appreciate it greatly.

[@silby77]

Whenever I fall in front of people, I now make a pose like I was supposed to do it! Makes my daughter laugh every time and keeps me looking "cool" lol!! I LOVE your skates in this video!

[@nailtalkwithdomo4630]

Your daughter is a real one for that

[@ComicReliefDurr]

The first time I fell during a long distance street skate i dropped to a knee after hitting a rock, and went for a good 5 ft. It was honestly a fun time! Some guys doing roof work applauded 😂 Happy falling friends!

[@Tanya-eq3fy]

I want to thank you for these roller skating tutorials. Every time I’m skating, I hear your voice... “down with the butt, up with the gut!” 😂 Or when I have fallen.. “UP! UP! UP!” Thank you for being inside my head while skating! You give me strength and confidence! 🥰 I have learned so much through you! 💕

[@j49683]

Dirty Deb to the rescue again! I've been so afraid of going outside and have watched so many videos about how to fall but none have really clicked for me until this one. Your skating videos are always the most helpful I can find on KZbin, no matter what the topic. Thanks Deb, you're a superstar! ✨😃

[@donnahughes9575]

When i fall, laughter helps me get over it, and it instantly relieves those strangers who were concerned. The people who were holding back giggles get relief also because they know it's OK to bust out laughing too.

[@azitr0micina]

This helps a lot! I started skating today and my main problem is that I could not let go because I was afraid of falling or being unable to stop. Next day I'll practice stopping, falling and getting up 😌

[@anataliazavaleta8804]

I’m practicing in my street every day. My little sister is always “did you do what dirty Debby said?” Thanks for making this detailed videos!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Love that! That made me smile pretty big ... not gonna lie.

[@ARISUinW0NDERLAND]

That is seriously adorable.

[@Tenareful]

Loving you rocking your gear I see a large number of new skaters appearing online with no helmet or no gear at all

[@keithamos6992]

Thank you for showing the correct way to slide on knee pads. I spent well over 25 yrs skateboarding on ramps and sliding was one of the first things I learned about saving your knees during a fall.

[@Denise-282]

Can you be my rollerskating mom!!!!!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Yes. Done. Denise you are my skate daughter :)

[@gabriellls1145]

That was so wholesome 🥺 I love this community 😊

[@ladypenelope99]

Great tips, as always, Dirty! A big Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 “yes Ma’am!” is being projected across the Atlantic! BTW, you look dead cute with that hat, pigtails and shades on😎. Does anyone else agree? (I bet your hubby agrees! 😉)

[@gabriellasaph8719]

I just got my skates a few days ago(i even made an unboxing video on my channel!!) and your videos have helped me SO MUCH i've been binging them all week and my progress is crazy, thank you so much dirty deborah 😭😭😭

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

That's awesome! So excited for you!

[@mdmnd2205]

“I wouldn’t have any knees “ 😂

[@breannechaplin8982]

Thank you Dirty Deborah!! I am 41yrs old & getting back to skating after 32yrs! I fell down for the 1st time today, not as graceful as you (an almost full split actually LOL!) but thank God for your video, I was able to get up with no issues!! Truly appreciate it!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Oh I am soooo happy to read this!

[@kaleema1987]

This made laugh 😂😂😂 a split. I always have that fear of falling

[@Mujangga]

"There aren't a lot of times when you're walking around and all of sudden fall down..." Actually, those of us who live in a winter environment often find ourselves suddenly weightless and crashing onto the hidden ice upon which we have just slipped. Ironically, I think this prepares northers skaters for such things as loss of balance, lowering one's body when tripping, shifting body weight, going down hill etc.

[@gj4257]

“If I spent every time I thought I was gonna fall, falling directly on both knees, I wouldn’t have any knees.” Hahahhahahahah!! I’m gonna publish a book of all your quotes one day.

[@PhyskoaNarkaios]

Thank you for this. I haven't been on wheels since I was 17. Twenty years and 60lbs later I thought it was a good idea to get back on them 😂 I plan on starting outside on a paved trail so this will be a video I watch often.

[@MizzC625]

The part where you talked about how you feel after the fall... so real!! Lol I just took my first tough fall down a hill. The onlookers gasped... it was hilarious... However, I felt like a stunt double!! I fell and used my squishy bits and protective gear. I didn’t really hurt myself which was GREAT. I felt so awesome that I recovered like I did and went right back to that hill. I didn’t want it to discourage me. I had fun and didn’t hurt myself. That’s all that matters 💗 thanks dirty!

[@ShortCocoa]

I couldn't love your videos anymore. Thank you Deb. Every word, action, lesson, realness, laughter, its great.

[@rannpnut7681]

Is anyone else just staring at the scuff mark on the right skates the entire video?🤣

[@dhaniellelaine537]

oh honey, if they're not scuffed you're not working.

[@anneparker3521]

You make the getting up part look so easy, so I tried it. My thighs!!!!! Lunges are now part of my life to improve this skill.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

I swear to you. Just do this motion 5 times, every single time you skate. You will get better at it without killing your thigh muscles.

[@tabathagano1014]

So cool. I landed in the grass and just got up immediately my neighbors were laughing. 😂😂😂😍😍😍😍.

[@andreawilliams8342]

I have my weekend homework assignment!

[@kaleidoscopekayley]

I just bought my first pair of skates since I was in middle school. So I'm a little terrified, but if I ever wanna be a derby girl...I'm gonna have to fall a little.

[@saramcgrath4011]

This is awesome!!! Especially the tip of rolling back and using your front trucks and toe stop!! I wasn’t even doing that right!! 😆😆😻😻💖💖💖

[@abc111xyz]

Great !!! Mindful and loving mindset is all we need for everything. No more fear, crying and feeling like a victim. It is much better to have the trustful mindset "I learn each moment... I skate excellent.... I am safe ... I am not hurt... I get up up up easy... I feel soooo free and happy while skating.... my body, mind and soul get more and more healthy.... I am the best version of a rollerskater...I enjoy moving and breathing in nature..."

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

I can not tell you how much better I feel this morning by just reading your words. What a beautiful mantra and comment. I really appreciate you.

[@SarahJMTaylor]

I have never heard anyone say you should slide when you fall but it makes sense. To be honest, I have been skating with assistance in small areas so I will need to re-introduce myself to long distance skating when we are able to get out without the fear of being fined or questioned by the police. I worry about my fitness and I think that is a big safety issue for falling.

[@sahmofangels]

I can not say enough how much your videos, energy and love for skating has done for me 😍😍😍😍

[@marahmoonflower7926]

Oh, I can't wait to try to knee slide! 🤙thank you💓

[@infinitequality6007]

OMG, I love your voice!!!☺😍😍

[@lizziegraham6417]

I've been skating for literally three days and your videos have been such a help! You are a fantastic teacher

[@cristinabrown9204]

I’ve needed this❤️

[@byq7460]

Every time I fall I end up laughing at myself because I think it probably looks silly for others watching and why not make them laugh too. Falling is a part of the skating journey and it’s sometimes just as fun as being upright on wheels :)

[@Bluebirdd]

You literally describe every fear I have when I’m on my skates. Thank you Dirty, for acknowledging this and slowing the steps down for us 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@allisonbush2696]

I’m in Australia and learning so much from these videos. Thank you so much

[@kitanakenshin]

Thank you for making this video!! Much needed! ❤❤❤

[@kawaiigrl9234]

I'm finally getting way better thanks for your help

[@marym2856]

I just loove your attitude, you make me laugh while learning to rollerskate. 😂🙂

[@lauraharne7870]

Love your videos Dirty! They have given me such confidence with my skating. I broke my fibula and dislocated my ankle last year 5 weeks into derby freshmeat bootcamp. I kept going to practice cause I knew skating was my jam. Fast forward to this year, I'm finally back on skates and loving every outdoor skate I've been on. Falling, actually getting up, is my biggest fear cause that's how I broke but I just love skating so much so I keep going and practice practice practice.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Oh I am so happy to read that you have made a comeback. Good luck to you skater!

[@ravenharper4334]

Yes that get up technique of getting up is more clear to me. Thanks

[@alexameza8119]

I love love love these videos, who knew you even need skills to fall the right way 😂😂😂😂😂

[@MiracleWhipIsNotMayo]

This was amazing, thank you! I'm just learning now!

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

[@scoobner1]

LOVE, LUV, LURV you gurrlll!!! So close to shooting my wad on some outdoor riedells and stuff.

[@plsstopusingmyname]

I like to practice the soccer knee glide or hockey knee glide on skate, and than say i always wanted to do this. You make it looked so cool.

[@dreamingtani5411]

so i just got my first skates and i am sure this will come in handy! thanks so much for all the beginner stuff. it really got me confident to start skating at 25 with no prior experience

[@pixiesmama8807]

I love all of your videos but this one in particular gave me great joy. Im 54 and this isn’t the easiest age to start skating. But I’m trying! And I’m falling. However, I’m looking forward to the next time I fall. I will definitely be doing a few swimming leg kicks and push-ups and maybe even a laying on my side in a beachy pose…cuz I meant to do it. 😅 I sure do appreciate you Dirty!

[@sofiaarmendariz7539]

I love watching you skate, you do it so naturally and gracefully it just makes me happy :)

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@jacquelinehow7076]

I love you haven't been on my roller skates for years Loving Your lessons they helping me thanks. And you make me laugh so much all the way from England

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Great to hear! I was just in London in January. I love skating in England.

[@ALaMode_Designer]

Thanks! I’ll add this to tomorrow’s practice. I really need to chip away at my fear of falling.

[@Gillygstring]

I love this video. Sharing it on my East Cork Rollers community FB page I set up a month ago. Super helpful. Youre a legend. Love your attitude.

[@Dirtydeborahharry]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@calliopeself6997]
