I am 75 and been skating since i was three. I love skating around the park or the rink still, and it is such great exercise. Us Gray haired skaters just don't stop what we love.
Hi am 60 & teaching myself to roller skate, It has been a blast. A few falls but just get back up and keep moving. It is all about just moving and haveing fun.
YAAAAAASSSS, GIRL! I'll be 51 on Sunday and I re-started skating a year ago for my 50th birthday. This birthday I celebrate as a member of a derby team. We can do anything. Much love to ya!
Hey awesome and good for you. I'm 55years young and decided to get back on the skates after we took the kids from our church group. Now I have had a couple of falls and my last fall made me look into something for my bottom cause I have read about the tailbone tales and I don't want to experience that. Can you share what brand of shorts you have...please🙂 Happy skating 🛼💕🛼🙂
Great for you.. I'm going to go roller skating next week.. It's been 43 years since I last skated.. I'm 71 now but I wont let that stop me at all.. FOR EVER YOUNG..
Ok. I keep seeing videos on RUclips and Tik Tok of older people like myself going back into the rink and dance skating like I did in my teens. Then, I saw this video and I'm going to do it. I'm going to put skates back on again. You're right it's not an age thing, it's a mindset. Life is too short to let a negative mindset stop me from trying.
You did way better than I did! I'll be 56 this year, and started re-learning to roller skate after decades of not skating. I've been at it for two months now, and I am still not as confident as you were! And I have the knee pads, elbow pads, wrist gaurds, helmet, and even padded pants! 🤪 I'm a sight for sure! 😄 But I felt a huge drive to skate again, and keep trying. You did great! 😃💖🛼🛼
I am as young as you and I remember going skating every Friday night when I was a teenager. I went skating again about 15 years ago, with my kids, and it was really fun! Thank you for your videos.
I’m 61, I started learning to (hockey) ice skate 8 years ago. I’m a pretty good hockey ice skater, I can do crossovers, crossrolls and power pulls both forwards and backwards. I did some roller skating during lockdown, then dropped it when the rinks reopened. Recently I bought some new hockey inlines, £450, and they’re fantastic. The first day I tried them on a tennis court, a couple watched me, then he came down to tell me he was impressed by my skating. That was very kind. If only the pavements and roads here were skateable, they are so rough. Keep up the practice, do lots of drills, develope those muscles and your balance, and you’ll be laughing.
Surfing or paddle boarding? I know you’re close to San Diego. Or synchronized swimming routine @ a local pool…really anything Lonni you’re so positive & funny anything you try will be a hit!
Hahahaha!! Oh my Lonni, you are so cute and fun! I was laughing so hard towards the end when you were doing your little dance. I was laughing cuz your are so cute and full of energy! You were making me realize that I have to do these things to have fun too in life! Keep up the great work and I think you should try Salsa dancing! Love it girl, Life if good!
Hey, new here! What a fun video. I just restarted skating. I'll be 50 in Nov. I have also started strength training. I'm having a great time on my skates. I did skate as a teenager but never outside so it's a completely different experience for sure. Anyway, keep having fun. Stay safe!
@@grayhairandtattoos yes right now it’s freezing where I live. I live in New Jersey so I am waiting for spring and will be back out there roller skating.

Happy Early Birthday! I think that’s so awesome that you’re on a derby team!!! Keep on doing anything that you want ❤️
I am getting rollerskates for Christmas, I'm 55 going on 56. I haven't skated in 40ish years.
I remember metal strap on skates too. Now at 66 I started but wear padded snowboard shorts and wrist guards for skating inside.
You go girl! 💜 I am 53 and skating is my thing too 😀
March 24... I'm 58 and just starting out, my friends and I bought skates, we're excited like Children 😂 Love you & your video!! X
Truth: It’s hard and a slow process at any age. I’m 65 and just started skating around the house. I use padded snowboard shorts and wrist guards.
I should have used those also. I fell filming this and it hurt for a very long time!
@@grayhairandtattoos 😮😢

You are very welcome and Friday night skating was the best! Disco music and going around in circles for hours....just perfect!
Age is just a number. Well said. ❤

So fun! Roller skating was mine and my sister's Friday and Saturday night tradition back in the '70s.
You CAN do anything!!
Anything!!! I loved the Friday night rollerskating when I was a kid. The disco music just made it perfect!!!
Surfing or paddle boarding? I know you’re close to San Diego. Or synchronized swimming routine @ a local pool…really anything Lonni you’re so positive & funny anything you try will be a hit!
Thanks Mary!!! I love both ideas. We will be working on the paddle boarding as soon as my hand heals.
Hahahaha!! Oh my Lonni, you are so cute and fun! I was laughing so hard towards the end when you were doing your little dance. I was laughing cuz your are so cute and full of energy! You were making me realize that I have to do these things to have fun too in life! Keep up the great work and I think you should try Salsa dancing! Love it girl, Life if good!
Life is good! I really enjoy laughing and having fun so I'm glad you like the video AND my awesome roller dance!
