Hi I’m deaf. Can you please set your videos for closed captioned? Thank you! ❤️
I’m deaf too. I was going to comment the same thing. Sucks when people don’t caption their videos.
I have to note that Dirty Debs skin is glowing!!! Ugh shes beautiful! Cant wait for the in depth skate vids
Why thank you very much :)
Time for some skincare on wheels vids LOL
This!! I work in a roller rink and these are pretty much always the most common skate parts that people come in and have issues with. (Speaking of which, thanks for reminding me it's time to change my cushions again lol) Thank you for making this information more widely accessible, super concise, and fun for me and the rest of the skating community! You're awesome!!
Where do you work?
@@Dirtydeborahharry San Diego Skateworld! I teach the skating lessons down there as well!
@@samiv.2342 LOVE SKATE WORLD!
I was shocked when talking to the guards at my local rink. NONE of them knew about...well, any of it, except for one. He's their "skate expert" (changes wheels, switches toe stops for jam plugs, etc. - really BASIC maintenance). The guards don't even know rotating wheels was a thing, let alone how to do it. ONE didn't even know her wheels could be taken off! SMH I can understand the casual skater not knowing those things...the little kids, the frat boys and sorority girls who think it's "funny" and only come once...sure, they're not on skates enough. However, someone who is making a living working at the rink, who've had their own skates for YEARS? This is why I'm trying - desperately - to get a "Skate School" going at my local rink. 20 week "course" - from "What skates should I get?" to proper maintenance, to the fun stuff (like dying wheels) - and everything in between. The manager has said if the owner allows it, she's MAKING the guard take the course, or, at least certain classes, anyway. LOL
@@MystiqueRisingSun Wow - very interesting.
could you do a vid on strength building exercises for people with skating related injuries? I fell while training years ago and broke my tailbone. I've got permanent nerve damage but..I still just want to skate! Thanks!!
Same, my injuries aren'tskate related, but I'm pretty sure they would affect my skating when I finally start and I'm kind of worried about it.
Totally agree would love a video like this I fractured my tailbone due to skating fall and still get Alot of pain from it.
Personally I think all advice regarding injury related stuff should only come from a licensed professional, as everyone's case is different. Although I'm sure some auxillary core strengthening exercises could help.
@@joshuasosa3781 good for you! 😒
To everyone who said they injured their tailbone; this skater i follow on instagram fell backwards in a bowl and she got up and started skating as easy as she was getting up from playing with a child on the floor. I commented she responded to me that she taught herself to roll out of a backwards fall. I am still trying to figure it out, I have been trying backwards rolls on my skates. or something similar. Everyone who got injured, I hope you get well, or some kind of breakthrough that helps you get well thoroughly.
It's not a dirty deb video if we don't talk about our snack areas. Your videos make my day!
Honestly? I’d love to listen to you talk about skates and maintenance and techniques for hours... ♥️♥️♥️
First thing to do when getting skates - either out of the box when you get your own or if you rent from the rink - check them out and make sure all parts are there! LOL People have lost toe stops and never claimed them. My local rink has a toe stop "wall" - all lost stops are kept up there for people to claim. How do you not know you're missing a stop?
As someone just kinda starting out getting into skating, this was a great video breaking down and introducing me to the components of skates. It makes me more confident in being able to know that my skates (that I've ordered and are waiting on, yayy!) are gonna be in decent condition and eagerly await your future videos getting into more depth. So thank you so much!
I have really fallen down the rabbit hole with Dirty Deborah's videos and they are all so good! Can't wait to put all this new info into use with PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!
Yay! Thank you!
I’ve always given up on skating because seemed too difficult to learn but a bunch of girls from a skate group recommended your videos so I bought some skates. I’ve been practicing and I’m slowly getting better. I struggle with keeping myself busy (depression) but now I have something to look forward to doing every day! Skating! I just wanna say thank you!!! I’m really glad I found your videos :)
"...I have something to look forward to doing every day!" This is the magic of skating. So glad you have found it.
I use to skate and I never knew about all the parts to my skates. I’ve been watching your videos this week and it makes me want to skate again. (I’ve not skated in over 20 years). Over 70 now. Makes me nervous, I might break something. But I sure want too!
That is awesome!
After watching two videos I think I'm falling in love with skating, and your personality! 😁
5:57 😂😂😂 crank it down nice and tight 😡😡😡
I can only afford Chicago’s right now, but I’m selling art to save up for some Moxi’s!!!
I’m super excited for your upcoming skates videos too! That’ll REALLY help me out! 😭😭💖 you’re so iconic
I'm a skating carhop at sonic. I had skates and my toes stops were wearing out really fast because I would go backwards and and use my toe stop to stop quickly. I would have to replace my toe stops every week! Well one of my toe stops got cross threaded. I just ended up buying new skates because I needed to anyways. I learned new ways of stopping.
You guys are incredible skaters!
Extremely informative and valuable information!!!
Thank you so much for spreading all this good knowledge.
It’s good to learn how to skate, but learning about the skate itself is very important too
I love what you’re doing, and I love the way you’re doing it. Dynamic teaching.
In my starting weeks I struggled with most of these issues and had a hard time trying to find all the separate bits of information to fix them. This is so so helpful having all of it in one place. You’re a great teacher, Deb.
Thank you! In this hard time this is a great activity that I find for me and my doughters!
I got new sure grip skates and tried to skate in them, yeahhhh I didn’t know about cushions until a few weeks ago and my new cushions are on their way! Turning just wasn’t happening. I got yellow sure grip cushion and I weigh around 120lbs. I’m average in skating so I think i got the right softness/hardness but later I may get the purple just in case. Can’t wait til you make more in depth videos!!💕
I'm about the same and got yellow too.
Teri McGann they work for you? Mine still feels a bit stiff when i go to turn so I’m assuming maybe there’s a breakin period
@@insertwhimsicalnamehere4398 I loosened the trucks a bit too. Just as Deborah suggests, but I was a little more conservative. I tightened them, and then did quarter turns with the screw at a time. I'm relatively new to skating. I bought Sure Grip Boardwalks initially, then added Moxi Ivy Jungles just recently. I think my Sure Grips are the better deal for the money. I have no complaints about their performance so far. Like you, I also bought the purple cushions, but now I can't remember if they are harder or softer....I think harder. Like wheels, there is so much that is just down to personal preference. I made my trucks super loose like Deborah had them. Whoa! That did not work for me at all. I discovered this PDQ! Try it really loose and see if you like it. Its just a few turns to the right to bring it back.
At first I didnt know how to roller skate but then I started watching your videos and they helped me a lot, thank you!!😁
You are most welcome.
I wish I tightened my toe stop more frequently, I lost one and fell not that long ago 😂😂 Now I know 😂😂
Dirty Deborah, I can't wait to visit your rink one day! All your videos not only helped me have a crash course when I got my first pair but also boost my confidence in skating! Sending love from Singapore xx :)
A new skating rink just opened on Oahu this year...I haven’t skated regularly in about 15 years and these videos are totally bringing me back to the good ‘ol days. I was thinking I was probably too old to be lacing up my skates again but I am gonna dust them off To👏🏽Day👏🏽
😁😁 Chee! Thank you!
How was it? Where exactly is it located?
Dirty School of Skate It’s in Kapolei. The rink is actually an in-line hockey arena that’s been around since last year but this year, on Friday and Saturday they started public skate sessions.
I’m tellin ya, muscle memory is totally a thing. I was wobbly for maybe 5 minutes and that was it. And boy was I ever sore afterwards 😆 I can’t wait to actually go to the rink but for now, I have my driveway and lanai to practice a bit. Dance skating is going to be my daily workout from now on. 👍🏽👍🏽 Why did I ever put away my skates??
This is so helpful I’m been binge watching your channel your so inspiring keep it up be you! I’m looking for my own skates and I’m going to go find my size soon so I can get mine online
Thank you for making all these super fun and concise tutorials, keeping your viewers safe and smiling. Very helpful to me personally, getting into rollerskating again after a teeny, tiny hiatus of about 30 years.
Welcome back to the fold :)
Your videos are everything I have needed and looked for. Liked and subscribed. Love from England.
I've never changed my cushions on my snyder douglas plates.OMG! Swapped out the german bearings for swiss and many different wheels but never the cushions. That's like driving an old pickup and never swapping the shocks. Now l've got to see your video on cushions...thanks for schooling me.
I wish I lived in Long Beach I could see Indy dirty deb pigeon but hey at least where I go to roller skate is right by a hospital
i have not even started yet, my skates are just arriving in a few days and i am already sucking in all of your content.
Your tutorials are awesome! Even as an experienced skater, I find this information helpful. Please continue to do more videos.
Thank you for this video please make more technical ones so we know how to properly take care of our skates! Love the channel!
I just bought sons candy girl skates. I’m a beginner. Your videos have helped me a lot to know the basics thank you!
Happy to help!
I wish u were in Raleigh! I feel like only u can fix my skates cuz u are so knowledgeable
Thank you for your help Deborah!
YOu are welcome :)
So glad I found your content. Super helpful.
If you were a school teacher I could listen to you teach all day😌😌
awwww :) I wanted to be a school teacher a long time ago :)
Oh my goodness just found your channel. I’m a 45 year old mom who loved to skate as a kid & teen. I still have my very worn in speed skates. I’m looking to get back into skating. Your video has helped me learn about things I never knew. Gonna check my old skates and see how loose everything is. Might need to have them overhauled. I appreciate all your info!
I’m from Brazil and I want to buy my first roller skaters. Your channel is the best for beginners! And also lots of fun! Thank you very much! You’re great!
Change your cushions it’ll change your life!!!! 😂😂😂 Perfect for a movie scene... 9:26
hahahhaha!
So helpful! thank you. I like your skating videos the best
Just subscribed! And just bought some VNLA Stealth skates used online in Georgia! Can’t find size 10 anywhere! Thanks for the tips! Looking forward to many more vids!
I learnt lots from this vid, I loosened up my wheels and plates a notch and my skating improved, thanks Debs.
Another excellent video! First video I have seen that clearly and concisely explains the most important parts of our skates. Gracias!
I just ordered vnla skates!! I’m so excited!!!
She's the real OG of skate..love her! Shes got it all!
I’m going skating in a phew days and I have been BINGING your videos, they are very helpful :)
No doubt, I need that 3 way in my life
OH MY GOSH I JUST WATCHED YOU VIDEO on how to skate backwards!
omg ur so cool and funny and very informative so awesome the content u put out i"m only an okay skater I haven't skated in 25 years i"m getting back into it for fun and health reasons so thank you.
i started skating a little while ago and this channel has been extremely helpful for me
I wish I could find a place like yours in my city, miss that stuff!
this was so helpful!! i NEEDED to see this thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
I just started skating and i got those "hybrid wheels" and I've found it easier to set up my trucks while outside because of how "grippy" the wheels are on concrete.
(As soon as I loosen up the trucks i was like "HECK YEAH! that's better!" 😂)
I am new to your channel and I must say I absolutely love the way you speak and the way you explain everything to us!!!! Thank you so much for your videos! I'll be definitely watching them all!
You will be a great person to all your fans
Miss Debbie, do you ever skate in roller blades? I'm 50 and have been watching ur videos and now I'm wanting to start skating again. Thank u for making me feel I'm not too old to start back. I've secretly been working on balance in my kitchen be while kid is at school and husband at work,lol. Thanks again
I don't skate in blades but I totally support those who do :) Welcome back to skating!!!
When I was younger my dad taught me to skate and I loved it but then I stopped for 13 years and I have a trouble time having balance but your tutorials really help me #skatingforlife 🥰🤩
Thank you so much love, you are the best👌🏽♥️
I *just* loosened up my action yesterday to get more movement- and raised/tightened by stops :) I can’t wait for part 2 of this so I can learn more about cushions and possibly replace those too!
Thank you for that information even when I was younger and skating I never knew any of this thank you again for this tutorial
Omg... so I need a dirty deb skate vid with just Deb, the floor and her favorite song..doing her thing...I'm dying to see her Go!!
I love your energy, I havnt started skating yet but your helping me learn so much 💕✨
I'm so glad!
This video is great and I am looking forward to getting more detail on certain parts! Especially the cushions, I think I really have been neglecting mine!
I would love to see a video on some practice tips specifically for evening out your skating. I mean in the sense that beginners (like me) tend to rely on their "good leg" until it gets even more reinforced as the stronger leg and it becomes more and more difficult to use the other leg for things like gaining momentum and weight bearing and turning with.
I fell in love with those glittery skate😦
I got on my skates right away without even checking them, and I’m usually a safety first person. Haha.

I’m looking for the in depth video on bearings. I really like your videos, I’m learning so much! I need to know how to install bearings on a new set of wheels (changing out the originals on my Rock GT-50’s for some outdoor wheels so I can go skate on the Galveston Seawall :)
If you have an instructional video on how to change out bearings, can you reply and link to the video?
Thank you! This was so helpful! I have a feeling my skates will need a lot of adjustments 😂
Looking foward to your other videos going more in-depth into the components of skates. I'm trying to learn more about skates but it can be really confusing. You've made it much easier to get my head around things
This is so helpful! I'd love to see a more in-depth video about cushions
video coming out tomorrow :)
I have a pair of Sure Grip skates. I have blue FAME wheels. I don't know their size or hardness. I purchased the skates with the wheels already on. I can't see anything but Sure Grip. I think I see a #44 faintly.
I wonder what that number is?
I love your videos. Thank you.
Hi ... Thanks for improving My skates equipment with your ideas ..peace
Nice video. Everyone should own a 3 way tool. I took 15-20 minutes to adjust my trucks to how I liked them and they felt comfortable. Looking forward to your video about cushions. Thx for what you do.
Just stumbling across Dirty Debra @ the Dirty School of Skate and I'm already hooked on this first video!...Thanks for all of the Knowledge Deb...I can't wait to get my Skate game back on the Roller Rink Floor!....
Can u plz answer this??
I got my new impala skates and I put them on and my left skate front wheels are crooked so when I skate it makes my leg go inwards! How can I fix this
Take them back or send them back. This is not something you can fix.
Dirty School of Skate oh ok thank you 💓
Subscribed and watching for when my skates come in. I coincidentally ordered those S.G. Prisms you were working with. Thank you.
Just picked up a pair of ex-rental skates so I can get back into skating after a 20yr hiatus and so I can spend time skating with my 9yo daughter. Your videos are invaluable. Thank you
Thanks for the clarification. That's great!! Your videos are very entertaining.😀😀👍👍 I love them😍😍
Hi Deborah, I'm an inline skater from France and would like to try quads.
I weight 120 kg so do I have to choose specific plates or can I only buy harder cushions like 85A or 93A? Thank you for your answer.
PS: I love your very well explained tutorials and seeing you skate is a real pleasure.
Hi there, Dirty Deb! Just loving your informative videos. Everyone is agreed, you use terms easy to understand, remember, and relate to. I have custom skates from 1981 and roller skated on average 3-4 times a week for years and never knew all this info. Never changed my cushions, loosened my trucks or wheels, checked my toe stop plugs to make sure they would not fall off. I only would take my wheels off to clean and grease them. If my existing Riedell boot's are ok -- have to find my skate bag still -- what is proper lubricant to use? If my boots are no longer wearable, I will purchase new ones. Been reading about skates but don't know what kind is right for me. I have vertigo that comes and goes but in last 2 years was able to ride a bike again so I want to try and roller skate too! I soooo miss it -- never knew it was still popular outside of NYC suburbs. Found some roller rinks on Long Island, NY and am willing to travel some to skate. As a reference, back in 1980/1981, I paid $200 for my custom roller skates. For comparison reasons, my car payment at the time was $250/month...so I purchased really nice skates then. Hope they are still wearable but I figure I need new wheels, bearings, cushions, and toe stop plugs at a minimum.
Thank you again for being such an awesome instructor and helping so many of us!
Such a great video ,you covered some very good info on safety and comfort:)))Thanks Deb:)))
This is so helpful as a Re-Beginner. I bought Jackson Vista's and looking over my skates & learning the mechanics of my boots like my car. Yesss I dont feel slow now.
Hi! I’m a beginner skater and just got my first skates (Impala’s).
I’m a bit concerned at how much my front wheels/trucks twist when I lean to the side while standing still. I’ve checked everything you’ve talked about and the trucks feel tight when I try to move them with my hand, but they seem very flexible when wearing them.
I should note that I’m overweight to maybe that’s putting more pressure on them... I dunno.
Anyway, thanks in advance for a response, and thanks for this video! 😁
I just bought my first candi girl skates. I’ve just started outdoor skating but can’t seem to get balance. How can I adjust my skates? Or do I need help in balance?
Nice entrance ! I use CRC or WD40 and spray it into the bearings while they're spinning to flush out dust and dirt from street skating, after lubrication they free spin forever. I replaced my cushions on my old skates a while back, now I need new wheels. Tightness and looseness of trucks is ridiculously important, if it's not right even good skaters can be totally thrown off, took me ages to get them right when I replaced the cushions.
OMG, I am so glad I found your channel! Love your videos!! Im putting on skates again after 30 years. I live in socal. Are you still doing sessions??
I just bought a new pair of skates (Rio Roller Mayhem II.) I haven't roller skated in over a decade. This has definitely helped me to know what I need to adjust for a better ride. Thanks very much!
Hi there! I had a question about tying your laces. I just started roller skating about 3 weeks ago and I have a pair of Moxi Lolly skates. I noticed that the outer part of my leg about 3 inches above my ankle is slightly swollen but my ankle and foot are fine. There isnt any pain but I'm wondering if its swollen because my laces are too tight? Possibly similar to lace bite in hockey players? Any tips on tying laces would help! Thanks!
You're the best ! Period.
DEB!! I need help! Can you go in depth about plates and the different aspects a person can look out for? I know you don’t talk brand I just need an overview because I can’t decide if I should go magnesium or aircraft aluminium
Thank you for these videos, this has really helped and looking forward to the in-depth vids too 😊
Oh my God, this is SOOO HELPFUL! THANK YOU FOR EXISTING AND POSTING THESE VIDEOSSSS
Hi Dirty Deborah Harry!
I discovered your videos about a month ago when my sister and I decided to learn to skate as adults. We love your channel and have been practicing with your videos. Thanks for your awesome content - keep the videos coming!
Oh super helpful! Thank you. As a beginner I would have never even thought of any of this! X
Glad it was helpful!
This is old but I just finally found a pair of men’s skates not 70$ or below that had an aluminum plate(nylon feels squishy) long story short. I have a pair a roller derby men’s skate till the new ones come tomorrow but the trucks either feel to loose(they move) or to tight they don’t move. I went to push off and I could feel it try to turn but if I tighten it it doesn’t turn at all. I’ve tried creeping it. Is it just cheap skate and cushion?
Quick question here: 1.Some roller state rinks come with wood floor, some of them come with concrete floor, what is the difference ? which one is better ?
2. If wearing knee pads when doing backwards, is this ok ? Or will it make backwards harder?
Awesome 😎 I love the video very informative. I just found your videos . I’m looking forward to looking at more of your videos.
You are amazing.
But.
how tight the laces? of my skates
Please tell me tell me 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
How you can you downvote Deb ??! 9 people obviously don't want to change their cushions.
This is at the top of my playlist labeled "Dirty Deb Lessons" I'm ready for the journey ahead. My skates are arriving in a couple weeks! Thank you Dirty Deb!
Hi!! I love your videos sooo much. Would you please add closed captions? That would help me so much. Thank you!!
