OH MY GOODNESS! How cool was this video?! Beyond inspiring to see this documentation of what dedication can do. Also loved seeing blips of this subculture of roller skating that I had no idea about. I can't wait to join you on the roller rink one day. Keep your elbow, knee, and butt pads for meeee!

I love how everyone that tries roller skating mentions how it brings out their inner child again ☺️

[cheunglindaa]

Not me squealing because you mentioned me 🥺 your progress is INCREDIBLE, Sophia!! Would love to skate with you some day 🤍

[StephChon]

I wouldn't be surprised if the streets of LA started filling up with girls on skates. You make skating look so approachable and fun!

[cindyayt]

Sophia is one of those people who chooses a new skill and becomes a pro at it

[yankeeliferr]

you've accomplished more in 30 days on skates than I have in my whole life on roller blades. keep up the good work!

Idk how these girls make roller skating look so elegant & graceful! 👀🤣 I remember when I went to the roller skating rink a few years ago, I put those skates on and couldn’t believe how heavy they were! 🤯😭 My ass was falling everywhere 😂

SOPHIA YOU ARE SO GOOD AT SKATING YOU ARE MY PERMANENT IDOL PLZ TAKE ME WITH YOU

[MeredithHammett]

As a former aggressive speed skater, this was too freaking cool to watch. You are bomb.

[makaylaippolito]

You did amazing! All I’m saying is that “no background” in skating can’t be entirely true because no one hops on skates the first day and is able to skate forward, backward, and do tight spins/turns like you did.

Can we just take a second to talk about what an angel Hannah is?? How sweet of her to teach you that little dance routine, her energy totally shines outwards 🌞

I turned 50 last December. Haven't roller skated since I was a teenager. Didn't realize how out-of-practice I'd become.... but I'm loving the renewed interest in roller skating in recent years. Got too heavy and out of shape, decided to pick it back up this week. Sophia -- thank you for the inspiration.

[teresahuynh]

This is was inspiring to watch 🤩🤩🤩 I hope others who see this remembers to never give up and that practice makes progress 🥰🥰🥰

[RA-glks]

I literally paused in the middle of your video and made my sister go to the roller rink with me 😭😭😭. I haven’t gone in so long it was so fun!!!!

[SoheeCho]

Bought skates last year and practiced on them twice... you've inspired me to pick them up again and also reminded me that practice makes perfect!

[Thecourtneymarlene]

I’m getting back into skating and literally am obsessed watching other peoples’ journey skating right now and I cannot wait for my skates to get here! Love the way you did the video!

*side note - you have literally the best place to practice before going out!

[ALEXAWRIGHT]

You're such an elegant skater! Love how you documented and shared this process. A+ music choices. xx

First of all, huge kudos to you Sophia! You are truly amazing, and your skating is alread very beautiful in a very short time period! I've been practicing the exact same moves for every single day for 16 months and sadly, I'm still nowhere near to the progress you got in just 30 days. I would just like to acknowledge what a natural you are and you've very lucky roller skating talent has been gifted to you. NGL, this video was essentially heartbreaking because I'm still struggling with all of these fundamentals after tirelessly working on dance skating and rhythm skating daily for over 1 year and my progress has been excruciatingly slow. But, anyone else who's still struggling with basics after 30 days, please don't give up! Skating is an amazing journey that is fun and rewarding, and it's definitely not a linear skill, so don't give up if you're a slow learner like I am. I started my journey extremely out of shape, overweight and I've always been clumsy and uncoordinated. Don't let that be an excuse if you're struggling or not sure if it's right for you. Skating is for everyone!!!! You are amazing just being you and try not to worry about how others are progressing, you can do this💖💖💖

Soph, you are GLOWING! So encouraging to see you tune into PLAY ✨✨✨
