I followed all of your beginner tips, did my drills, took things slow, got low when I almost fell, and stopped with the knowledge that I'd be back tomorrow. Thank you for being a bad ass light in dark times, and for encouraging all of us (no matter what we tell ourselves) to get out there, practice, and have fun.

    Something that might help those of you trying to get this. .. its 100% weight transfer from 1 foot to the other in the transition. Once you turn your foot backwards and you set it down you instantly put all the weight on that foot allowing the other to turn. good luck skaters. you rock Deb.

      @@aignemakerofchase some of it could be muscle memory too. When your casually skating just lift 1 leg keeping all your weight on 1 leg while you roll. this will help strengthen your muscle memory for standing on 1 skate and will help your balance too. Keep trying you'll get it!!

Well after a 33-year hiatus, I feel like a beginner again but I plan on going to the rink twice a month. I live far away or I'd go once a week. You are so approachable. I am not a small woman and I do have knee issues but I decided I'm going to get back to what I used to love doing. Never too old at age 51 to be a skater again, right? Right! Thanks for being so fun and funny. Your videos make me smile and just wanna get out there. Thanks so much, Dirty!!

Watched your videos last night to learn to stop GOT IT!! then took a break and went back and got the speed and can criss cross. Ice skating has helped but the WHEELS make it a whole new ball game. Excited for tomorow may just try the turning. FALLING well that is getting low but figured how to get up. TOE stops are our best freinds. Cheers HAVING FUN

    I have now watched this so many times but I am getting there! It is one of the few videos what explains that you need to lift your hip and point your toe. That really helped me. I just need to get better at bringing the original weighted leg over at the end. I have seen folks say you can either transition pointing your toe to pivot on front wheels or shifting weight on your heels to pivot on back wheels(for the leg/hip you are lifting) I think it might just be what you feel safer doing...so just tossing that out there in case it helps someone. with most things, there are many approaches. I find this video to be the best standard but again if you are struggling look at other techniques in case it helps. The mechanics of this video though are golden.
