I wonder why Ive never seen this being discussed in any other videos Ive seen. This seems really important and good to know.

Dirty Deborah, I don't even own a pair of skates but I love watching your videos. My favorite teachers have always been the ones who are passionate about what they teach and in these lessons you just ooze positive energy. Keep 'em comin' girl.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
When I was little, I would get so upset if my school teachers seemed bored or had low energy. I thought "Why aren't they happy?" or "Do they not like us?" Who knows but whenever I had the chance to teach, I gave it a lot of energy.
@@Dirtydeborahharry thanks I love the way you teach I'm about to get a new pair for the first time and out of all the videos on youtube your videos are the BEST! Thank you😊
@Dirty School of Skate You probably make more than they did sadly (Not that you don't deserve it but it's hard to keep your energy up when you are struggling
Everybody needs to go to her rink in their life time. She is the absolute best! And I know Miss Deb won't remember me but she complimented my backwards skating and it made my night!
awwwww yeah :) xoxox
I'm moving to SoCal and this is one of my first stops!
Can you do a video about stiff hard boot vs. Soft boot? And the pros and cons of them. Thank you D.Deb!
After your last video where you talked about having to change out cushions every three months, I immediately ordered new ones. It took like five minutes to do and the difference it made is STAGGERING. Thank you for making such awesome, informative videos, Deb! My skates and I are ready for anything!
Awwww great to read this!!!
For real! This explaina the blood blisters! I spent years on my cushions.
Shoutout to all the Maximum Density skaters.
YOU KNOW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLLLAAAAA!
Heyyyyy! 🙋🏾♀️
@@virgo15goddess hiyaaa! ^_^
Ms. Deb, Just finished practicing your video on transitioning from forward to backward skating, so I am very grateful. I hadn’t skated since around 1978 and decided to pick it back up in July of this year (2019) as an auxiliary cardio exercise and thanks to your videos I have made tremendous progress. Your videos are better than the in-person lesson I took (I only took one and it was so bad I decided not to go back). So far I have accomplished the following with your aid: Basic skating and falling mechanics, left/right crossovers, crossovers in turns, t-stop, toe-stop, backward skating (finally got that one in the last 2 weeks) and am working on backward/forward transitions. Your enthusiasm, detailed explanation, numerous pointers, good looks (thickalicious) and skating knowledge is inspirational and I plan to organize a trip to California specifically to take one of your courses. Keep up the great work, as far as I can tell you are the best Skating Sensei (teacher) on RUclips. Thank you and Cheers!!!
awwww :) You have NO IDEA how happy I am to ready this comment. Love knowing that these videos are of help to skaters!
You explain things SO clearly, and I love your sense of humor. Thanks so much!
So this video sent me to get new cushions and OMG I can't believe how much smoother and more stable my skates feel!!! I've been using SG Fame boots on a Rock plate for over a year now and have never changed the cushions they came with. What you said about changing them out at least every few months made me run to do my research. I figured I should get a set of all the different hardnesses (I got the Super Cushions by SG) and play around with mixing hardnesses for the upper and lower cushions, harder on top for stability and softer on the lower for easier turning. I ended up with 85 (purple) on top and 72 (blue) on the lower, and WOW my spins are actually sliding instead of me fighting to stay in the spins; mohawk turns are faster yet more stable, both CW and CCW; and even outdoor skating on the driveway and skate park concrete feels smoother. HOW IS THIS NOT COMMON KNOWLEDGE? I believed I needed a big skate upgrade to get better on spins and other moves (my coach is having me go Riedell/Snyder and I will still get an upgrade because I want new skates!), but having new cushions on my Fames has been a major eye-opener, and both my son and I have been experiencing some really fun skate sessions in the park. We can't wait to take our cushion-upgraded Fames to the rink. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and experience!
All THIS yes same a game changer.
& i agree nicer plates are YES nicer!
They will provide more agility, responsiveness etc.
But its not a full compromise on cheaper skates as you can simply get cushions fit for you for a much better ride
Ive seen many people do some research & think the basic skates are a total waste but they can upgrade cushions for much improvement instead of straight to replating!! 🖤
"Ive often been called thick in the comment section" 😂😂😂
She is seriously hot, like, a big part my reason for getting skates is because I want to wear that body myself 🤣🤣
SO STRONG!
Not that it is anybodies business however, I weigh 167# and if anybody called me thick I would have to tell them to f off. But that’s just me.
I loved your impersonation of the dead people cushions. That cracked me up. I guess I’d better go change my cushions ...
We call them bushings here but I needed this video I had no idea they needed changing. Thank you for this
Dude! I am learning so much! Now I know why my edges are so difficult…AND why I had to put my orthotics in my skate..
My brother who is a life skater and very good knows nothing about this. Thank you Dirty!
I have a hard time learning to do things her way, totally a me thing but, I watch her first anyway because I love her energy.
Thank U Deb!! Im so thankful you’re doing these in-depth vids on the different parts of the skates. I just changed my toe stops out and nearly hyperventilated before and during!
Skates are such a mystery 2 me and I’m really scared taking anything apart (like what if they don’t go back together or i end up with an “extra” piece😂) but I WANT to be acquainted with all the parts involved-you’re helping me so much!! All of us! Can’t wait for more vids!!
Always watch through the end. The flow of question and answers, your energy, and how informative you are without being overwhelming is almost addictive. When I can afford my first pair, I'll know everything there is to know!
Awwww thank you very much. I really appreciate this comment. It helps me know I may be on the right track.
Yeah, I'm the one with the 32 year old skates. Nothing ever changed. Lost everything in a fire but my skates were in storage. Too many things are telling me to skate again, except I took a nasty fall and definitely hurt myself. I have fibromyalgia and I refuse to let it take any thing else from me. Diagnosed at 35, I'm now 62 and fed up with being stagnant. Husband taking chemo and I need an outlet. Rink 10 minutes away, if there should be a problem. Sorry to ramble. Anyway, I'm going through your videos and really finding all of my questions and concerns. Thanks so much. Btw, my best friend, who has MS, is from California and I'm trying to help her little granddaughter who has cancer. My friend wants to watch, little girl wants to skate, so I directed her to you. Bless your heart, you're just awesome
I switched to the orange powerdyne cushions (they call them bushings on the east coast) and it made a huge difference.
I have those as well, but I think I need the harder purples.
THIS WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL! I'M ALL ABOUT THE CUSHIONS NOW! I HAD NO CLUE! THANX! ✌👻✌
Preparing myself even before my skates actually arrive. I can tell this was really helpful already. Thx Deb. 💙
Was trying to find information on bearings, found this video instead, and now I know I need new bearings _and_ cushions. Thank you lol
Watching this video now, I love how inclusive the skating community is and especially Deb in her videos she always talks about how skating is for everyone and how people come in different shapes, sizes, skill levels and everyone deserves the best gear possibile to skate in the best skates and this level of energy gives me life 😂😂😂 also, thank you for talking about cusions because I never hear ppl talk about them hahahaha
As a plus size beginner skater, changing my cushions was a game changer. 🖤
How often do you change them?
Which ones did you get?
😫this was so much easier when I was 14!!!!
But this was super helpful! Back into skating but now own my own pair, time to do the maintenance!
👍🏻🙏🏻✌🏻
Hmm.. Haven't changed in... EVER.. That is 6 sets of skates over almost 50 years.. I have taken them out and rotated them around... Perhaps I have 15 bucks.. And an Amazon account..
Love your enthusiasm and description of "thick" body.
Seems like a fine package to me... You ARE talking about cushions after all!
Quick story.. I was teaching someone to stop "walking" on skates and I got into the fear of falling discussion and I showed her the "drive a tiny car!" Move.. Well of course I threw myself down and one of my skates kicked out and I went spiraling firmly to the floor.. And I started laughing at my own totally graceful as a newborn foal move and she started laughing/stumbling and immediately performed a perfect "tiny car" and DIDN'T fall! We both at the same time looked at each other and yelled TINY CAR!!! It was hilarious! We'll be friends forever now.. Thanks!
Awwww this is a great story!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’re awesome! Knowledgable, great at teaching and hilarious. Thanks for getting me started on my skating journey!
I’m here for the animated examples ! Little people holding me up !! Perfect visual example . I have sure grip fames so I’ll look into cushions !!!
Dirty Dirty this video of you teaching lessons on the importance of tightening skate nuts will make me walk better. I didn't know how important it was. Mine were almost loose. Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
I really love these gear videos keep it up. I just got my first set of skates. You have really helped me progress as a skater.
Deborah motivates me to learn a lot more about skating.
Thank you very much for your help.
Just started skating again at 45 and let’s just say, I’m soooo glad I found your channel! I am able to visualize the little people😂😂😂❤❤❤
Love your videos, personality and passion to help others! Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge Deborah👍🏼❤
I love the way you broke this all down! You're the best Deborah!
I absolutely love your attitude. You're the best. Thank you for all your knowledge.
Already changed my cushions but I love listening to you talk about different topics.
WOW! You jumped right into it, didn't you? LOL I was honestly expecting wheels or stops...or even boot types and materials to be first in this series. So many parts, so many decisions on what to cover first...and, this also reminded me, I seriously need to change mine ASAP! I just realized I've had my Ombre's for about 9 months already...and we've been skating around 65 - 70 hours a month! OOPS! LOL That does it...I'm making "Maintenance Sheets" for all of my family so we can note the dates we last changed/replaced each part...now I just need to find a 1/2" binder and some sheet protectors. The joys of having 7 skaters in the family...5 of whom have at least 2 pairs of skates. It's hard to keep track of who's done what to which skates. I've been neglecting my poor babies!!!
I like your maintenance chart idea.
@@hgross6867 I just wish I could do it as a PDF and share it on here somehow.
You are hilarious! 😂 Not only am I learning so much about my skates but now I will forever think of the little people holding me up and passing me from the left to right teams to cushion my ride as I skate! Awesome analogy!! Loving your videos. Thanks.
Living for the target skate light 😍
Some regulars at the rink just got two of them FOR the rink. LOL Hoping to get my own before they sell out..and one to put in each of my girls' rooms, too!
Dirty Deb you're amazing. Thank you for all these tutorials!
Changed my cushions yesterday, thanks for this great video!
I’m saving up and buying my first pair of skates for my birthday, your videos help me so much for my confidence going into this!
Your energy is IMMACULATE 10000/10 love your videos - so educational & hilarious!
I dont how to skate nor own skates. But I plan on getting some and learning in the future. I feel more prepared with your videos. Thank you so much!
First time getting a full review and how to maintain your skates. Thank you
Thank you so much! I changed my bushings last November. I love doing regular maintenance on my skates, wheel rotation, oiling bearings, pivot cup & toe stop replacement, but my cushions looked the exact same. I had some new ones so I changed them today. What a difference! I’m going to change them every 3 months from this day forward!
Your energy is amazing! I love how passionate you are in every video 😄 sat at home on my day off binging your videos waiting for my skates to arrive in a couple days (really hoping they arrive early and I can have them tomorrow but knowing my luck they’ll be late😂)
Love your videos! I have been skating for more years than I want to admit. Why did I not know this cushion business. I will be changing mine ASAP! Thank you!
Very helpful!!!!! Made huge difference to loosen trucks...had been skating on out the box config far too long!!!!
I had no idea that changing the cushions can make a difference.. this is something I will definitely keep track of. my cushions. Thank you Debbie for your videos, without videos like this, I would not have known about this.. ❤️
I just love listening to whatever you say🌹 and above that esthetics comes a whole lot of useful information. Thank you for sharing, Deborah!
This video changed my life! I've been loosening my action nut for a while to no avail and then I changed my coushins... And it's like I got totally new skates!!
Dirty Deborah is so charming in this video! She's always a class act, but the candid jokes and vivid personality make this video one of the most endearing videos on her whole channel.
Girl I've been skating for a while and never knew any of this!!! My lil girl has started skating so it's time for mama bear to educate herself on everything skate!! Love all the information!!
I never knew this about cushions. I wasn’t going to watch this video but gurl I’m so glad I did! I want to see if I notice a difference... stay tuned! Thanks for educating us Dirty 😘
You’re awesome! Knowledgable, greatk at teaching and hilarious. Thanks for getting me started on my skating journey!
dirty deborah you are amazing!! ive been skating for 5 years and while yes i am on my 3rd pair of skates, i have never changed my cushions, i swear youve taught me more about skates in 2 videos than anyone else has
Thank you!!! You are a wealth of information and inspiration!!! I will be changing my cushions!! 👏👏♥️⛸️
Hello DDH, I have bought my first pair of skates. I had some when I was little( over 30years). I love your videos and they are helping me get use to them. I live in the UK and I haven’t seen many skating shops. Keep up the fantastic work and video that you do. Sonia Talbot
Well, I've learned something today that will change my skate life and that's a good thing thank you so much for sharing love you from Korea
Dirty, YOU ABSOLUTELY SLAY IT ! Love your tutorials on stuff that really makes a difference. Your delivery kills me "little people" & "densley packed" 🤣🤣
I love when you say “go practice!” Visited SoCal and saw you at FVSC last week. Totally regret not saying hi. Thanks for your videos! You’re super helpful!
You are so awesome! I LOVE your passion and extensive knowledge. I've never heard anyone discuss cushions before and I've been skating my entire life. Recently bought new skates and they felt like cement and asked a rink employee and he said you probably need new trucks and pointed to the cushion. I'm no skate expert but even I know what a truck is. Anyway, I knew where to go to learn. Thank you so much for the effort you put into the GEAR playlist of videos. I have learned more in one evening than I have known about my skates in my lifetime.
See?? Told ya this would be awesome. Thank you Deb!! We needed this!!❤❤❤
Thank you so much, I never knew about this ☺️ I just bought my very first skates at 41 lol I loved skating as a kid and now I want my girls to experience skating also so why not invest in one and go skating too 🥰
Great video Dirty D! I finally bought my first pair of skates after a lifetime of rentals. Wow! I can do so much more at the rink now. I'm so glad you're doing these videos on maintenance. I think your camera person might need a little stand or something. This video and the 5 parts of skate video gave me a little vertigo. Thank you for the information! Always a joy!
You are so much fun. You are a beautiful teacher and make me laugh so much. Thank you for brightening my day
Thank you very much :)
Thank you for giving the comments for the curvy ladies!!! I needed this info!
Please do more videos on maintenance! Especially on bearings, I'm so confused. I had no idea skates were so complicated or had so many parts. Also, I LOVE you and your videos!!! You are an amazing teacher!
BLOODY BRILLIANT.... I checked my cushions that came with my new skates and they were rock HARD I was never going to get the edges that you describe and display so PERFECTLY
soooo I have ordered some soft ones as I am a newbie to this and will wait to practice over and over and over......
xxxx
i've been doing the you tube skating video rabbit hole and i gotta say of all the skate videos online yours are the best! you are a real teacher and i thank you for all your videos and especially this in depth stuff like skate maintenance and how to take them apart change stuff out and put them back together. really helpful! thank you dirty deb!
Wow, thanks! I really appreciate this comment.
You are so helpful so knowledgeable we appreciate you so much....I'm very mechanically inclined but know nothing about skates, you are teaching me everything I need to know to keep my daughter and my skates rolling perfect....thanks so much💯✌️
This was so helpful bc i just started skating and had a lot of issues with the cushions that were on there. ❤
You've been my main source of skate education since I started up about 2 weeks ago. If I ever come through Long Beach, I'll be sure to make a stop at FVSC!!
I just turned 41 and just started skating. Your videos have helped me so much and I appreciate all your videos. I love seeing someone my age still kicking ass at skating. Never too old too start something new❤😎
Meeee tooo 😅❤🙌
In all honesty you deliver such a demonstration and learning from you is so easy.
Thank you for all you give 😁
I appreciate that!
Wow, never knew about cushions, you re wonderful. Love your videos 👍💖
Rookie
Omg Dirty Deborah! I love you so much😍 really! whenever I watch your videos, I learn a lot. But wow, do I have fun!!! Thanks❤️
You are so incredible. Great videos!!!
Your analogies are the best!!!!
awesome Lessons on cushions Dirty Debra.
You are great! I loved the video and your personality. Thanks for your assistance! 🙏🏽
Very informative! Ordering cushions now. Thanks.
Thank you so much for making this video! What are the pros/cons of all barrel cushion setups, mixed barrel+cone cushion setups, and all cone cushion setups? How do they compare?
Love this so much! I probably wait too long to change mine so the difference is more dramatic.
Thank you! I been skating for a year with new skates thinking I am safe. Not!! Love your videos and energy
Thank you for doing this video, l been trying to figure which is best for me ... l will like to upgrade mines..
I ❤️ all your videos and instructions as a new skater.
Glad you like them! Everything you knew and felt as a kid-skater will come back :)
You are my online roller skate Master for sure! Superb visual teaching skills, respect!
Wow, thanks! I appreciate this comment.
THANK YOU DIRTY!!! My mind is literally blown right now. I have been having the EXACT problem you described - I keep loosening the nut on my truck hoping it will help with my edge work, but I've never gotten it to feel right. Now I know I've been skating on cheap dead cushions this whole time! WHAT! I am ordering new ones right now. You are the BEST!
I hope you know how much I love you and your videos! It's hard sometimes because I was a web developer way before I got back into rollerskating, so I usually bite my tongue out of fear I'll come off wrong and offend people. But I just want to be helpful, and I keep thinking back to taking Psychology of Advertising back in the day. So, please forgive me for this, but I'm just trying to be helpful!
So... There's some phrases that don't keep people watching once they hear them, and that sometimes even prompts people to not click like, or to click dislike. One that I've seen over and over and over again is if you say anything that makes the viewer think about the fact that you are making money off our views. That makes us feel like a consumer instead of a friend and partner in rollerskating and turns people off. The phrase "the more I can get from you, the more I can give back to you" is almost certainly the reason this videos view numbers are what they are.
THANL YOU VERY MUCH! Seriously … I appreciate this so much because I am wingin' it here. I hardly watched YT at all before people finally convinced me to make videos. I literally know how to skate/teach but no idea how to make/what to say on these videos. I welcome your thoughts. I will change my ways for sure :) Except for that video I just filmed last night ;)
I found your explanation of cushions SO entertaining. :-)
Oh thank you!
I soooooooo love how animated you are!!!!!! In such a fan of yours and alllll of your knowledge!
awww thank you!
Deborah, you are amazing! All your content is so useful, and you are so graceful and funny. I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
Oh thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
I consider myself not only informed about cushions, now, but will always remember my cushions, thanks to those little people in my skates, making the same face as you when describing it 😆 I nearly spit coffee outta my nose it was so freaking funny 🤣🤟 you're awesome, sister, thanks so much!
Love this and you! Thank you
I've gone to FVSC for years, I cannot believe I haven't run into you!
Dirty, you're so awesome. I miss you. I'm going back to derby after many years off, so I've been making sure my skates are in good shape. One of the parts I knew I needed to fix were my cushions because they're at least 6 years old and I'm pretty sure you were the one I bought them from. I couldn't remember which ones I had and I was bummed I couldn't remember what you had told me about them all those years ago, so you can imagine how excited I was to find your video! I'm happy I can still learn from you. ❤️
Oh excellent! What league are you going to skate with?
Deborah, I’ve been on my GM II plate for about 50 years now .. I’ve Changed my cushions maybe 6 times.. I live in Florida and skate 10 miles around a lake a couple of times a week I was wondering why the vibration was so bad my whole body vibrated.. So I ran across this video, bought new cushions and now it’s all smooth, and my fun zone is happy again 😇..
I’m going to check out all of your videos..
Thanks you’re great !!!
I had no idea that the skate cushions on my skates needed to be changed, thanks for this excellent video explaining what the cushions do and why they need to be changed. I have been rolling on the same skate cushions 10 years wow Definitely gonna change them soon. Thanks again!
Happy to help!
@dirtydeborahharry I hope you see my question above! I'm so happy I found you! You are so thorough when you teach - you are also funny & full of personality which makes learning fun! Thank you!
Thank you Deb! ❤️💯 always providing incredible information
You are so welcome!
