Learning How to Roller Skate After 50 || Older Roller 52

I'm learning how to roller skate at 52 years old (53 next month). I've never owned a pair of roller skates, but it's always been something I've wanted to do. #lifeafter50 is good! #learninghowtorollerskate

I have just started skating and I am 63 🤣. I am hilarious. But I will get better. I am determined 😊

Thank so much for posting. I have just began skating. 2 pairs of skates and tons of falls. I am 51 and trying to do more. I am so happy there are ladies like myself trying to embark in a fun journey. Thank you!!! Where did you get you wrist pads????

I just found your channel, and I'm so glad I did! I'll be 56 in December, and I've been trying to re-learn to roller skate for a little over two months now. You are way more advanced than I am! I'm sure you've come a long way since this video, but this is so inspiring. I'm really struggling to get the courage to skate on concrete. The surfaces available to me are not very smooth, so every time I try, I panic and stop. But I want to do this so bad! I'm documenting my "progress" to try and see how far I get. At this point, not very far at all! I will look to see what other skating videos you have. I need motivation and encouragement, and seeing you out there doing it, is so helpful! Thank you for doing this! 🥰🛼🛼

I'm 60 and have just started skating again. Thanks for your video. You are doing a great job. I hope you are still skating and doing well.

You are so awesome! I just bought a cool pair of impala’s and everyone is acting like I’m really stupid to risk it at 56. I used to skate everywhere when I was younger and absolutely loved it. Life is short shave fun!

OMG IT WAS DIVINE INTERVENTION I FOUND YOUR VIDEOS!lol! Im 51 and haven’t skated in over 30 yrs, today i finally got my skates and in my head im thinking that im going to skate like i did back then but im deluded!lol! im waiting to get my pads from amazon but ive felt so alone with it all because everyone is so much younger but now ive found you on here and i can tell you i am bloody grateful!

I love what you are doing. I have not roller skated in 24 years and recently l have been watching alot of skating vlogs and it has given me the urge to take up roller skating again.
Thank you.

You are such an inspiration! All of a sudden I've been wanting to skate again or learn to again lol. I tried and quit when I was a kid, then again as an adult. Now I'm 51 and want to try again however I'm not sure it's the wisest thing to consider as I have osteoarthritis in my knee and a lower back issue. I found adult lessons at a nearby rink but still wondering if it's safe.

[wendydiaz]

Adorable! Thanks for being so vulnerable and open with us!

[juliem]

Thank you for one of the most honest skating videos I've ever seen. Good for you.
Keep up the good work

[karenellis]

You’re so brave!! Keep having fun. It takes time and practice.

I am also inspired by you & I’m 75! Did a lot of skating 40 years ago. But I’m not going to start until I get the proper knee, elbow & wrist supports. Just ordered on “A” and a nice used pair of Riedell roller skates 🛼 on EBay. We have a Pattisons North here in Spokane, and I know I will be close to the walls for awhile! In the 80’s I was a very good skater, both directions counterclockwise and clockwise), backwards and raced. Now I don’t know what to expect. But I am determine to give it my best shot. My daughter is also getting back into it (at 49), and is already at her prior level! So now I can join her and hopefully I’ll improve over time.
Keep it up and give updates! Thanx.

I just started skating too and I'm 48. I wear full safety gear. I'm basically wrapped in bubble wrap 😂 But I love it! I in-line skated in my 20's. But that was ages ago! I'm very nervous but I try and practice every chance I get. Good luck too you and continue having fun! 🙂

[teresagann]

Im 53 and just got skates im so excited and yes have fallen so many times 😂 thank you for this

[crystaljones]

You are inspiring me to get back on my skates at 63. Skated since a kid but stopped as an adult. Looking forward to rolling again. Rise up you can do it!!! So much fun!!

[CodeByRachelle]

Girl! come back!!! I would love to know how the skating is going??? And everything else... :)

I’m 66 and just started. I wear padded snowboard shorts and wrist guards. It makes my back end look huge so I wear a long flowy top over it, with stretchy leggings. I only skate indoors downstairs on the tile floor. One rink 15 miles away, and the lessons are for kids.

Last week was my 4 year old Grand Sun's skating party. I, 47 last month old GiGi skated for the 1st time, ever. I used a trainer. I loved it so much I have decided to go every Friday until I no longer want to. I just returned from my 2nd time skating, this time solo. Little kids were high-fiving me, I drank a frozen pickle juice shot, it was great! I haven't fallen yet & am looking forward to buying my own gear, adjusting my own skates & transitioning on my skating journey 🙂
