    Can we all take a moment to appreciate Dirty for giving us free lessons and she doesn’t make it on RUclips premium even though I think they don’t do that anymore AND she doesn’t put a bunch of ads while she teaches us. Just a BIG thanks too her for the lessons because she’s the reason I can crossover,stagger, backwards skate,spins and more. Thank you Dirty!

      I'm a super beginner, but I just basically bought my roller skates to be able to practice all those amazing lessons Dirty gives to us. And I'm so happy with my progress so far, I hope one day I can roller skate better. Thank you Dirty!

      I have inline skates, an in process of buying quads.. My skating is improving immensely thanks to Dirty Deb... and my fear is gradually dissipating (at 57 I have a lot of reasons to be scared of falling and fearful of going downhill) Dirty Deb's videos are helping me to build skating skills and confidence, she is so funny and explains things so well, breaks steps down to make it easier.. I cannot thank her enough ... Huge shout out , big hugs and huge thanks to Dirty Deb 🥰💜💜 Di, Newcastle NSW Australia 🇦🇺

      @kaitlyn5210 4 года назад +5

      Does she have some really good pads that she wears?
      Having really good pads on makes the fear of falling much less noticeable. Also, just practicing falling can help because you're body will know exactly what to do in that situation

    As soon as all this coronavirus stuff is over, I’m taking a cross country trip from Connecticut to California and burning up all the sidewalks with my new skates. Connecticut has SOME places to skate but not nearly as many beautiful spots as there are in California. Also, there are so many more people to meet there! No one in Connecticut both skates AND is friendly, haha. Thanks for the video Dirty Deb!

    My stress level was off the charts watching her demonstrate things at the top of the stairs! I kept feeling like she was going to fall backwards and down them! If I were rich, I would buy her a plane ticket to Thailand so she could help instruct me. I'm 2 months into skating, and I am barely getting past the bubble stage. I watch all her videos and feel so pumped up! Then I go out to try, and everything I thought I knew flies out the window. I wish I had someone here like her to help me.

    Your technical advice is so helpful and so is the little bit at the end. I just got skates 4-5 days ago and have been skating every day but pretty much only in empty parking lots. Part of that is cause I'm too scared to skate where people can see me, specially up close. So thank you for the little confidence boost!

    Finally a tutorial going down narrow steap pathways. These are two similar obstacles I have stepping out onto the property I live in. The other is two driveways. Driveway choice #1 go down a slight wider to fit trucks, steeper incline but shorter path (no bars to hold onto on driveways). Driveway choice #2 requires going UP a similar path Deborah last went down on to then go down a longer but less steap driveway than driveway #1. What I annoyingly do to start skating is take my shoes and put on my skates where ever I'll be skating occasionally right up front my street sidewalk but all the streets are INCLINED to incline with different types of street surfaces. I haven't really skated the streets around my home because if I haven't see any of you skilled ladies bombing inclined hills then nope I'm not ready.

I think now I recovered well enough to actually go out and try skating on roller skates again soon :) I really want to get good at it, knowing that it'll take quite a while, though. Thank you so much for your videos, I've already learned so much about skating and how to do stuff, now the hard part is to practice everything
