I watched many tutorials on skating backwards before but I seemed to easily lose balance & keep falling forward. After watching your video & follow exactly what you said, I can skate backwards without losing balance! You are too good at explaining the techniques & they are working magically.. Thank you dear Debbie, much love! Patiently waiting on cross over technique too ^_^

Dirty!!! I skated a bunch as a kid and also in my 20s but I never learned to skate backwards. I’m a late mom and so now at 52 my 9 year old wanted to learn to skate and so I jumped at the chance to get back into it. (It’s been 25 years since I last skated!) This time I was determined to finally learn to skate backwards. I discovered your channel and started practicing at home and on a tennis court. Today for Mother’s Day I asked to go to the rink and I did it, I finally was able to go repeatedly around the rink backwards. Fairly slow bubbles at first but slowly better and better. I have to work on crossovers and all that but today was amazing. You are amazing!!! Thank you so much for all your teaching. And my daughter is learning from you too. She gets your explanation of shifting her weight and if she falls she says “up up up” and practices “drive a tiny car”. We love you Dirty!

@nay9702 5 лет назад

I learned how to skate right after I learned how to walk, but I’ve literally never known how to skate backwards. I’m gonna have to try this! I’m not even sure how this ended up in my recommended but damn am I happy I did. You’re personality is infectious! I’m subbing!

@ThoseRosieDays 3 года назад

Love this! I'm just struggling with going straight into a second backwards scissor without lifting my feet off the ground. I can't seem to weave my feet back into the right position to start another bubble I just stop or have to lift my feet. Thanks!

You can lift your feet off the ground. Just don't lift too high. Think of it more as relieving pressure from that foot.

You are probably just skating with your own style which is one of the most amazing aspects of skating...self expression! Hopefully this video helps those who are at the first stage of learning which is the "mechanics" stage.

@marthaeve1 3 года назад

you are a TERRIFIC teacher! I'm 60 now and started taking skating lessons in 2019. I got good enough to cruise around the rink and have fun but want to take my skills farther. Then 2020. So I think I went skating once that year. Now I just took another 6 week session (at the beautiful LeFrak Skating Center in Brooklyn) and it was useful but since I can't afford to take more in-person lessons I was looking around on YT and found you. Tried this today at the rink--your careful explanation of the weight shifting principles and specific tips got me rolling backwards with a smile on my face. You are going to be giving me lessons for the rest of the summer. Thanks SO much. If I'm ever in SoCal, I will definitely come by!

@kongchingpow 5 лет назад

Best thing for toestops is the trash can if you really want to learn skating:) my opinion, anyway. There are many ways to stop on skates, toestops are kinda more of a crutch than anything...unless you're playing roller hockey or something, where you absolutely need them. Have fun out there! Cheers!

@Dirtydeborahharry 5 лет назад

@@kongchingpow awwww damn! If you throw those toe stops in the trash, you may never be able to learn how to do a toe spin, a bunny hop, a mapes, a toe loop, a flip jump, a lutz, a toe walley, speed skate starts from a dead stop on your toes, feel the exhilaration of rolling safely downhill BACKWARDS super fast, blocking in roller derby, running to gain speed in derby, etc. To put it plainly, toe stops are fun and just a tool for you to learn to use. I say skate with toe stops AND skate without them. Your skating will improve. Don't throw them away though … you will miss out on all sorts of fun!

Dirty Debra & Planet Rolller skate, what would I do without y'all?? You have taught me so much and given me the fundamental skills to get rolling & do so with confidence. This week I made a goal to put on my skates every single day, even if its only for 10 minutes. I even got my season pass to my roller rink and let me tell you... the improvement that occurs even in just a 15 min session is the most fulfilling experience. I'm constantly channeling every single lesson and micro lesson that y'all teach and playing your voices over and over in my head has got me so confident that I'll be amazing at this in no time.

I just wanna say, you and your words from the Christmas episode on Planet RollerSkate, have been permanently affixed to my mind. I’m gonna paraphrase for the most part, because my memory is like a vat of nacho cheese oozing out of my earzzz. Anyway, you said to put your skates on EVERY DAY! Even if it’s just for a few minutes and “you should wear them so much your feet reject shoes!” I believe I’m quoting accurately. Your passion is infectious and shines through. I think my feet have begun rejecting shoes, or I had busted down feet to begin with🤪😆😍😘

Super helpful! I’m new to quads, and I’m having a ton of fun figuring out all the little tricks. One thing I’m struggling to figure out is if I should adjust my trucks or not, I’ve noticed mine have A LOT of play in them and it can make it weird to hold a long edge (they tend to wobble a bit) It might be helpful to do a video on the anatomy of a quad skate and how or when to tighten trucks, or what parts are good for customizing... And different brands of skates and their differences. It might be helpful for generating content
