    "Don't think what other people think"
    That's profound, sound life advice.

      Enza Denino this isn’t a man/woman issue. People lie and backstab. Cats and dogs don’t though!(: lmao let’s leave the advice to the woman in the video here.

      Alyson Richard exactly, im 28 and iv just started inline skating.
      I feel like everyone stares at me and laughs because they see a woman skating (not very well)
      But iv learned not to care and just enjoy myself and try and get better.
      I think people worry what other people are going to think too much

    I'm 37 - felt like I was too old to skateboard, but bought on vacation on a whim. I learned how to skateboard in a hotel parking garage. I sprained my ankle (skateboarding) the day before left. Let me tell you, it was not fun trying to get around 3 airports on a sprained ankle. You don't heal as fast as a young person, either. I didn't let this deter me, though. I'm back on the skateboard riding down the street. It was hard to get back on again. I was so scared at first, but it's the most amazing feeling! I wish I had the courage to try more things when I was younger!

    Good for her. Never stop living. The people in nursing homes stopped living, body atrophied, sickness set in, followed by misery and acceptance. If you enjoy working into retirement years, do that! If you want to take on a new hobby go for it! 😁 getting old doesn't have to suck.

  • @LeaferLoves

    Good for Lena! I taught myself to longboard in my 40s and I have found it to be very life-enriching. It's rewarding to be able to hang out with my kid who has learned to skateboard as well. I think older people should give it a try if they are physically able; it's a very pleasant form of exercise. Take care, all!
