Didn't event think I needed this tutorial and I *still* learned something. Trying that method for standing up now for sure.
Literally just fell while skating! Glad you talk about the psychological part of falling because my body is ok but ego is definitely bruised. I'm happy I started skating again but it is hard to be back in the rink and not be as good as I was.
That's a slick way to get back up, thanks!
I “skated” for the first time in my life yesterday. Will try your techniques next time I go. Thanks for the tips!
1:21 actually 😅 when I first started out and I fell like 6 times, I said i wanted to fall so I could figure out how to fall safely. And it worrrrrked
Also, if you cant touch your toes to get low, do your best to put your chest to your knees! I found that that works for me. When I got low (I still fell but) I was able to fall back on purpose, so i could fix myself and get back up
Awesome! Great work!
I’m so grateful for this video! I got too confident on Saturday away from the wall and fell straight onto my tailbone!
The trick with roller skating is to always stay humble ;)
Tailbone pain is huge even though the injury is tiny! So crazy. Here's hoping you get back on your wheels!!!
Your channel is so underrated and I love how you teach. It makes a ton more sense than most tutorials I've watched.
Thank you so much. Subscribes are growing everyday! Hope it takes off though :)
This is so helpful. This is the first time I'm seeing this way of getting up. Thank you!
I started doing this when I started playing roller derby back in 2006. I hated falling and decided I better look good getting up!!!
Great video as always. You should make a video of you just sitting down talking about skates, different types, quality, how they perform and what they're good for etc 🤷
I am :) I will :) It is on my mind and on my list.
@@Dirtydeborahharry thank you so much ! Look forward to it.
@@Dirtydeborahharry Best wheels for rink on Sure Grip Boardwalks?
Thanks for the tips! You are hilarious and so informative. Keep up the great work.
What a professional and awesome teacher you are, I love your style and banter. Thank you so very much for taking the time out to show us how it is done.
You are soooo welcome.
That was hilarious, “I’m not judging ur life style.” 🤣
We recently started skating again. Your videos clarify the fine points.
It makes us want to keep skating.You’re good ma’am
Thank you
Thank you so much!
Thank you this helps a ton. I am 58 years old and haven't been on skates for over 40 years...I am so grateful for your tutorials. They have got me skating again...I tumbled a few times but I got myself up,up,up...lol Thanks again!
My little granddaughter will love this one,after falling twice yesterday and amazingly getting back up and getting in the kitchen again.. we are so proud of you and one day when your feet stop growing your having moxis or similar like me and your aunties ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧
I took my first fall a few days ago and then saw this! Life is full of falls, it's the ability to get back up and do what you love that makes you or breaks you. Your videos are great, please keep doing tutorials. I'm 38 and learning to skate as it's a life long ambition and I want to teach my kids to skate. You made me feel so much better about taking a fall!
Awww … I am so happy to read this! What a great lesson for you to acknowledge and for you to get to share with your kids!
Questioning your life choices! Hahaha so true
Right!?!?
I literally yelled out, “OKAAAAY! That was sexy!!!” 😂♥️🙏🏽♥️ I love you SO MUCH for these videos, your mentality and all!
You are a great teacher!!! I will be practicing your tip on getting up with grace. I feel that learning to skate means dealing with the falls. One thing that helps me to minimize my amount of falling is to constantly remind myself to keep a bend in my knees - at least that helps me fall forward but I'm also more stable. Thank you so much for these videos
Reminding yourself to keep your knees bent is exactly the right thing to do! Great tip!
I'm so glad I found you channel! I'm just starting to skate and have no idea what to do but you're tips are so enlighten, gonna practice as much as possible starting from tomorrow. Thank you so much 💜
Why are you so damn awesome!? 🌟🌟🌟 I am a new skater, only a couple of months in and let’s just say my bones are the youngest LOL, so the thought of falling especially with a previous severe back injury scares the living crap out of me. I understand now why you say within 3 seconds get up. You can’t let fear creep in, and that’s just what happened to me. Thank you so much for getting in another video that’s so helpful coupled with your personality which is absolutely hilarious! Could you make a video on learning how to skate in a crisscross pattern? I’m not sure if that makes sense. I’ve also heard it called braiding. Thx!
I am so happy to read this. My goal is to get across legit technical info in a fun manner and ultimately get people rolling with confidence. I will make a video on braiding too!!!
It’s so funny, when you made this response I was actually at the rink LOL! And I happen to be talking about you to one of my new skate friends. I was telling her how much I am thoroughly informed join your videos. And that you have this ability to bring so much passion and energy while explaining things. And that you have such a gift for breaking things down step-by-step so that the mechanics are so easily understood and conveyed through a video without being directly with you in real time. Just because someone is highly skilled it does not mean that they can convey that knowledge in a way that somebody who is brand new can understand and apply it. You’re SO real while being equally encouraging! 🙏🏽♥️🔥👸🏼
Oh my. ...I am highly flattered by this comment. Thank you so much. It is nice to know that I am on the right track!
I'm a beginner and your videos have helped me so much! Thank you for all of your hard work
I’m skating again at 54 because of you. I’m glad you helped me get up the courage. It ain’t pretty when I skate, yet, but hopefully I’ll get there with practice. I skated all the time as a kid. It is so much harder now. My body can’t do some of the things it used to do so easily. I also have arthritis in both knees. Any tips for building up my legs? Right now, I don’t think I could take a knee and get up with my legs the way you are showing.
Welcome back! Legs … of course do squats off skates, do scissors off skates and do yoga for flexibility :)
Did a forward face plant once at the rink which required stitches in my lower lip. Went back a week later, and was glad I did. Naturally nervy over trying a crossover turn again, but OH was it good getting it back. Thanks for your vids, they've been a big help to me 15 years later getting back on wheels again.
I just joined roller derby and I've been watching your videos, I love your personality and your instructions! Thank you for making these videos! Keep having fun making them and i'l keep having fun watching em!
Go to RollerCon! I am teaching derby skaters there for my 13th year!
I love the way you explained how to get back up. That is much more graceful.
It takes practice but once you get it, it is easy and fun. The practice is also and incredibly good workout.
You inspire me to skate ! You've got such dope videos !
Love your positive attitude! I truly wish I could skate again. I love watching you skate, and teaching others how to skate better in general. I'd love to see some dance skate moves, if you could show that! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you very much! I appreciate your kind words. Dance skating video is in the works!
I had a couple “oh sh*t!” moments at the rink this morning 😂 Thanks for the video!
I just love your videos watching you have given my courage to try roller skating. My mom loved skating and when she died this past January in thought I would give it a try but didn't know how to start.
Awww... so sorry about your mom. She would probably get a kick out of your skating.
this helped me so much! i only started skating a few days ago but i was really struggling with getting up when i wasnt on carpet, i literally practiced for two minutes and now i can get up! thank you!
New skater here and YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME HOW TO SKATE! Now I'm going g to practice getting back up. You rock Deb!
my biscuit area is a little too padded as well 😂 great tips! I always think to myself, when I'm falling, "if you're going down.. go down with a glorious CANNON BALL!!" then I grab my calves with dear life! 😂👍
My kid is learning from your videos, this standing up technique is new for her. Thanks!!!
I love your videos so much! I wish I lived closer and could take skate classes with you. I have been super sick since I found your channel but I am hoping to get out tomorrow and do a little trail skate using a lot of the methods I've watched!
Thank you! My summer challenge is to skate every day even if its just for 10 minutes. I keep a practice journal for drills and goals. I'm adding your technique of getting up! That looks graceful and safe! I love your lessons. I take notes and keep the notecards in my skate bag for reference. My skating bucket list is to fly from PA to CA, skate at your rink, and take a lesson or two or ten! Thanks again!
ok... new fav comment. LOVE IT! LOVE WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
I love your teaching ! Gives me such confidence ! Such positive vibes and a good heart, thank you !
Xoxo appreciate this!
Oh fer...THAT'S how you get back up! Just re-learning how to skate and couldn't figure out how to get back up after my first fall today. I knew you'd have the answer. Thanks, DD!
I have just found your channel and I am LOVING IT! You are such a great teacher :) I am a beginner in Cairns, Australia. I look forward to integrating all your awesome moves and teachings on my rink here.
I've taught in Australia 5 times! I can not wait to get back there. Have fun practicing.
Thanks for this. I skate at the Interskate rink in Lewisville, TX, where the guy who runs the skate shop, Mo, says he knows you and skated derby with you, and another rink rat regular, Brian, grew up skating at FVSC as a kid. Our whole little family takes the skate lessons at our rink here in north TX every Saturday, and the instructors showed us how to get up using the hand on knee and just powering up method. Yours in this video is so much more graceful. Definitely gonna try it when I next hit the rink tomorrow! Thanks again!
Oh you are lucky! You are surrounded by some amazing talent there! You can use the method of pushing on your knee, I just found that many people don't have the strength. So try 'em all and what works.
Great video - I just subscribed! It would be awesome if you talked about how to stop fast! I'm really a street skater but I'm sure some techniques could transfer from the rink to the street. Most times you can just step out of the way but sometimes there's nothing you can do when you're going really fast but stop. A tutorial on that would be great. Thanks!
Agreed! More videos are coming! Stay tuned for that title.
Excellent video! Good discussion of the physical and psychological aspects of falling and getting back up. I will practice this routine. Thanks.
Yeah practice :) Thanks so much for this comment.
Thank you for this!!! Finally bought a new pair of skates so I can get more practice close to home and not be so scared when I come to class! The shock of falling is a huge fear, thanks for giving it a name so I can try and get over it!! WISH ME LUCK! 😁
That was awesome..very graceful! Thanks for sharing..will practice!!
Thank you :)
Love your videos. I am 40 year old and started learning skating just now, taking lessons and watching your videos as supplement. Tips are very useful and the videos are so full of energy. You can even do acting if you want, not just skating.
Thank you very much :) Acting? Yes please :)
I love how you teach me to roller skate. Thank you so much
Going to roller skate for my first time tomorrow. Thanks to you I will surely know what to do or at least try. Much support
Good luck! Have fun :)
You are amazing. Thank you for making this information accessible. It means a lot!
You are very welcome.
I effing LOVE YOU DD!!! I've been watching you videos for days straight! My son bought me some skates for Mother's Day... The Lolly's I've been wanting for FOREVER... I feel like you're my family!!! Holding my snack area as I type!!! I'm going to check you out in Fountain Valley one Thursday night!
Excellent! Hope to see you there!
Thank you!❤🤗 I appreciate this so much!
Love Your Videos !!! Keep them coming for us and Thanks Much ★★★
Omg - so I used to skate when I was younger (and a lot lighter!!) and getting back into it now, I was just thinking of how I could use learning how to fall properly and get up easier. Then boom! This one pops up. Love it 😁
Falling and swearing to god it came from nowhere 🙋🏻♀️
Yea! Hope this video is helpful to you! Beyond just getting up gracefully, it is really good exercise :)
@@instagamrr TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!
Perfect timing to see this, I'm headed to the rink to practice transitions. Please do a next level of backward skating with full transition, or a spin while going forward around the rink. I"m struggling to try transitions at a faster speed other then very slow, lol
Excellent idea! I will do a video on just that!
@@Dirtydeborahharry Thank you! Love your videos!
I'm waiting for that one myself. I don't transition to go backwards, I do more of a...kind of...jump to turn around. The problem is, I can never get back to skating forward again without coming to a complete stop and then just turning my feet back to regular forward skating position. UGH! :( LOL
I just got started again skating after 35 years off, my daughter Caitlin Veronica Krause taught me. One thing I can say from 13 years in karate (I’m also a 3rd degree black belt) is that you should practice falling to where you don’t have to think about how to fall and how to get up again.
Agreed!
Thank you for doing these videos! It's very helpful!!!
I need to visit this skating rink and get some help with my skating backwards keep up the good work dirty Debbie ...
Yes. Come visit!
Excellent thank you have to visit soon great tips
Hello! 👋🏾 I am present for this. Uh, this makes so much sense. Re-learning how to think and now how to practice falling. #upUpUP
Got it! Thank one for sharing.
you’re such a good teacher! you explain really good!
do skate park videos :)
This is indeed the coolest way of getting up. I didn't know it. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you so much. I get so much from your videos and the getting up makes so much more sense than what is normally taught. Keep up up up with videos!
Thank you so much. Trying to deliver legit technical info that I was taught by the parents :)
This looks like magic. Thanks for the amazingly helpful videos, I’m just starting out but your knowledge has already been priceless to me. Thank you!
Yeah :)
I will have to practice that method of getting up. It’s much more graceful looking than the other method.
That looks so graceful omg thank you so much Deb!! Will practice asap 💖
i enjoy your tough love ❤️ !! you're such a great instructor! i recommend you to all the people who are learning to skate!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate them. Thank you so much for your support too!
I've actually made "business cards" with the name of the channel - and a couple others like Indy Jamma Jones's - to hand out at my local rink. (Yes...I'm weird....but I have had people remember me from week to week and thank me for recommending this channel so....I guess they're watching. Maybe even subscribing? I'll count that as a win. LOL)
@@MystiqueRisingSun thank you so much for helping to spread the word!!!!!
@@Dirtydeborahharry You're welcome! :) I may not teach myself, since I don't know all the technicalities, but I do know a great teacher when I see one. I've watched a LOT of tutorials, and, sadly there's a lot of horrible advice out there since anyone can create a RUclips channel. I can tell when people are struggling but really want to learn so...they get a "card". LOL
@@MystiqueRisingSun awww thank you :)
That is the most graceful stand up I’ve ever seen. Will be practicing this for sure! Thank you so much and it is so true about losing your balance and throwing your hands up that is a guaranteed fall waiting to happen LOL! The last time I took a dive in the rink while skating I rolled over a lost skate screw and landed face first on the floor threw my hands out to break the fall and did not get up gracefully lol! Turned around to see what happened and found it. Bummed I had to find it that way but glad I fell and not the kids. Just badly bruised knees and hands is all. LOL! Thanks again for the video!
I have a kid at the rink that I pay $1 to every Sunday morning. I get him to pick up any ball bearings, screws, candy etc. that the broom and mop missed! Sometimes you are just gonna get tripped up but I will tell you … the more you skate... the better you are at "saving yourself" from falling. So keep rollin'! Where do you skate?
Dirty School of Skate That’s a good idea! I skate at Skate Away in Virginia love the skate floor there.
DAAAAAANNNGGGG! Can't wait to try this!
Thanks for the pep-talk about falling. I'm just starting as an adult skater, and I'm so afraid of falling. One of the reasons I'm skating is to have an embodying experience in which I feel connected and in control of my body. If I can learn to fall with intention and get back up with confidence, I think I can beat this fear.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all your videos are so so helpful especially for a beginner like me!!! :)
INSPIRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀 LOVE YOUR TIPS!!!!
I love love love your videos! Keep them coming plz. Pt 2 backwards skating?
On it!
All your lessons on toe stop gave me courage to use this rubber thing ;) aftet the fall I used to push up From the toe stop. Gonna try your sneaky "get some momementum" way, most def
I fall at work all the time. Can't wait to use this technique at the office. Thank you for your videos. Keep it up!
Gotta ask … what do you do for work??????????????
Dirty School of Skate exactly what I’m wondering
@@Dirtydeborahharry I sit at my desk. With all seriousness, I keep watching your videos to nail down the basics. Your explanations are simple and concise. I wish you could witness my progress. Im mastering crossovers going left and right. Falling all the time is what happens at my level and I dont care anymore. Getting up can be tricky so this video is very important to me. You're a great instructor!
Hello I love the video can you do the part 2 to the skating backwards video please
The position we need to know 6:16! Wow, thanks for this. I was getting up in a frog position which is pretty scary because I haven’t purchased a helmet yet! 😂😂😂 I’ll be using your method from now own. ❤️ from AL
3:18 perfect amount of padding on those biscuits 😂😂😂😍😍
Hahaha! I love carbs!
Thank you so much for this video. I have to go roller skating tomorrow and I was freaking out thank you! #lifesaver
This was great!! I'm going to go practice that tomorrow. Thanks for another informative video. YOU LOOK GREAT 🤙🏻
Thank you so much!
Yes this is exactly what I needed
Wow.. that has been my problem.. I Cannot get up after I fall.. ..so discouraging but I'm going to try this Asap...🤗
Please do. You will need to practice it but once you get it...you get it!!!
I just found your videos. Can I tell you how much I love them. 💗 I’m determined to learn how to skate and I’ll be watching and rewatching them. Had my first lesson last week and biffed it because I got big. Will try this out next lesson. 👍🏼🙌🏼😄
Go Liz go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I'm now sharing this with all of my daughters' friends. Most of them have never skated before or have only gone once or twice and this is the reason many of them don't! "What if I fall?" Me and my girls, "If you're not falling, you're not learning!" (Usually said in unison. LOL) "You just get up and keep going." :)
That is a great and true response!
You're such a doll. And such a huge help to me getting back into skating after over 20 years.
Omg I cannot wait to try this.
Shared with our Derby bootcamp, too.
My first pair of skates since 1991 came in the mail yesterday. That's the last time I skated as well. I'm watching your vids b4 I hit the rink, bc I'm 48 as of last month. I can't be breaking no bones. 😂
Hey dirty I've been watching you for about 3 years now. I don't want to say a whole lot I think I sent you like a 14,000 page email one time but what I do want to say is you are amazing I thank you so much for everything you do and the way that you present it I'm just so in all of you. And those of us who are bigger and thicker thighs we appreciate you even more so I just wanted to say thank you.
Awwww ... I appreciate you.
Can't thank you enough girl! I'm really into skating lately and you helped me soo much💞 I was wondering if you could do some more tricks videos or just in general about dancing on skates. Keep up the good work honey and thank you once again💞
I will I swear! They are on the list. Thank you!!!
Thanks you totally answers my question!
You are amazing! Thank you so much for these videos.
awwww :) Thank you so much for your support!
You are great at teaching physics and body mechanics ❤️
I love that get up!
OMG! Who looks that good getting up....so graceful!
Seriously … it has always been a thing for me … like if I am gonna go down badly I am gonna come up lookin' good.
Omg!!!! I love you!! Thank you! Your helping me do much
Thank you! Thanks so much for watching!!!
Love all of your videos! Something about the way you explain things really resonates with me. I've been struggling with laterals and t-pushes. Could you share some tips on that? Thank you for doing this!
First off … thank you. I appreciate your support. I will make a "t-start" video but for reference now, watch the "t-stop" video. When you come to a "t-stop", bend both knees, lean forward and push. When you say laterals, can you be more specific?
For roller derby, I'm trying to perfect moving between lanes (1-2-3-4) while keeping my hips squared and facing forward. My leaguemates do these push-offs they call t-pushes, but I am having a hard time opening my hips up properly and keeping my hips facing right.
You are actually the best!! Thank you soooo much for your videos, they are super super helpful!! :))
Thank you so much!
I like the way you describe momentom. example, I look my feet all the time when I skate. " don't look your feet. "You give your feet performance excity" makes smile, and try to look up. thanks
YES! Your feet walk you around all the time. They do not need you staring at them in order for them to do their job. :)
Falling down was easy to learn for me. Getting up... I never learned that method for it! That's definitely gonna be something I'll keep in mind next time!!
Practice it over and over. Once you get the technique and strength going, you will find this fun to do!
@@Dirtydeborahharry I intend to!
Can you tell me if its ok if my knees are a little bad is it okay to skate I would really love to know love your shows you're great.
Thank you this video helped me a lot! ;)
Your right, that get up looks SMOOTH! Thanks. Don’t plan on falling buuut!
Love you so much. You should go on tour! Ha!
Pls make a video on advanced spins, 1 foot and stuff or an s /crazy legs tutorial
On the list :)))
