  • You're never too old to try something new. Learning to roller skate over 50 is a great way to spread motivation and positivity to show the world that you're never too old to have fun. "Gray Hair Can Do" is a series where Lonni will be trying all different kinds of new things to show that being over 50 doesn't have to be boring.

    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.

    I remember metal strap on skates too. Now at 66 I started but wear padded snowboard shorts and wrist guards for skating inside.

    Ok. I keep seeing videos on UA-cam 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.

      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 🛼💕🛼🙂

    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’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.

    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!
