    I spent A Lot of COVID quarantine time on the couch watching your videos! Finally got a pair of Skates, protective gear and a Y3 tool. Everything seems to be sold out or back ordered! A local ice skating shop called me when they were able to locate a boot in my size and COLOR preference, built my skates for me! I grew up skating and in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s then life got in the way. But my passion and love for skating never left. At 61 years old I’ve just started again with my new Beautiful and fabulous friend Dirty Debbie! Thank you for your solid teaching! I grew up in Southern California and remember my Mom dropping myself and a couple girlfriends off at your family skating rink. 😂 it’s really fun and a challenge to learn basic techniques and proper posture. I’m very grateful for your dedication to teaching. Hope to meet you in person for a lesson soon.

    brand new skater here. My skates literally got delivered today and I tried them on tonight and of course I'm hooked. Never been in skates before in my life so of course I'm consuming a ton of content on tutorials. This was such a treat to watch. Not only was Dirty such a good teacher, breaking down the mechanics and showing so many angles of what to do, she was entertaining and full of passion. her love of skating and desire to teach others to do this is palpable and beyond encouraging for this newbie. I can't wait to consumer all the other tutorials on here and take it out to practice every day. What an absolute delight of a teacher, I really hope to see more content soon!

    In July, I started re-learning how to roller skate after not being on a rink in nearly 50 years and not being in skates since about 79' or 80'. I'll be 64 in a few weeks. It was almost like I had never skated but I used hiking poles with rubber tips for the first couple of days. I went from 2 poles to one and found that skating with it like you did in lesson 2 or 3 helped me. And then, I didn't need the hiking poles. I've never had lessons for roller or ice skating but use common sense and knowing how to find my center from my dance days. Seeing you with that stick made me think, "Ahh ha, I had a good idea". You are a fantastic instructor!

    I love you dirty! I was a Pretty good skater back in the 80s/90s.. 2 weeks after I gave birth to my first daughter I went to a skate party, mind you this place was closed except private parties it was very old warped floors and bubble gum in some of the wheels. Well, I put them on and took off and I got roughly 10ft and my feet came up under me and I crashed on my tail bone breaking it in 2 pieces. It took months to heal and to this day I can’t sit on a hard surface long. So fast forward I now have 5 children and we took them to the skate station and I put on my skates and BAM PTSD I wouldn’t get on the floor I was too scared. So here I am 42 years old my husband just bought my first pair of skates which will be here tomorrow and I’ve watched your videos over and over and you have given me hope that I can over come this fear and get back to that feeling of being free… thank you so very much!

I've picked up roller skating in what's now our 6th lockdown and have been skating for 4 days (I know how to ice skate but at a pretty amateur level) -- thanks to this video I've taught myself how to skate backwards and then figured out backwards bubbles already!

    I just watched this a third time, to see if I'm missing anything, when I teach my son... I keep hitting the freaking crack in the driveway, nearly falling back... I have hybrid wheels on... I'm gonna switch them to some atom pulses over the next week. I'm gonna vlog the change out soon... hopefully, I won't go careening down on my back side. If these 78As don't work, I'll go the other way with some sure grip fames... 97As.. it's so nice to be able to come back to all of these coaching moments with you... I hated having to be on the ice at 430A to get my in-person lessons, just so I could be at school by 7A. So glad I can get these lessons at 4P and teach my kid at 10P, in the driveway!!!

I can skate backwards (pretty intermediate/advanced) and do a crossover but what I have trouble with is after doing the crossover I want to do the motion you do at 13:25 , I'm not sure what it is called but I have not been able to find a RUclips video explaining this motion. I see people do it all the time at rinks and hopefully will eventually figure it out but if you could include that in your next video I would really appreciate it! I really enjoy your videos!

    You need to do a series for rink owners. Most could use your instruction. 🌻

    I’m learning skate dance in Tokyo with limited Japanese. My first lesson (with very limited experience on skates) my teacher or sensei had me going backwards 😂. She showed me the same method of little steps backwards but I was struggling just standing 😄. Love roller skating so much, my own pair of skate will arrive by the end of the week so then I can get some practice at home. These videos are amazing! Thank you 😊
