@@sharondickey595thank you! I’m 50 and people think I’m in my late 30s. She’s beautiful and I would think she was in her mid 60s and that’s amazing for being in your 80s!
NO NO NO NO NO WAY is this woman 81 years old! NO Way! In what Universe is it fair for her to be 81 years old and look THAT amazing and do the things she can do. Not fair AT ALL. :-) Seriously she is awesome.
That's why Edna's still able to walk, run, dance, just move. If you don't use it, you lose it, this show's us to definitely keep active and stay active, it will take you a long way!
Awww. Dont compare yourself to her hun. You skate at your own pace and let it be for the fun and love of it. We're all unique skaters in our own way. 🙂❤
Jeez! I'm 52 and now cant find a dang excuse not to try & start skating again! How the hell???🤯 I mean what's her secret?? I'm in complete awe of this wonder woman!
Yess Go get it ! I'm in!!! I ordered my skates on Amazon with helmet and pads!! Its roller derby time again woohoo!! Its just in time for summer! I'm going back to skating i noticed after I stopped skating I got old started to feel joint problems now at 63 years young I feel little pains In the morning when I get up I feel stiff until I move around then it leaves. . So that means if I skate regular my aches and pains will go away. 😁🤸♂️🤸♀️ It's a new day 🤸♂️Time to tighten up my core back to when I was a rock hard skating machine!!! Start and Pass the work Let's Go!!!
I guess Jay Adams the great late skateboader was right when he said " You didn't stop skating because you got old you got old because you stop skating"
Im grateful that I also grew up rollerskating in the 80s and it WAS FUN. THere wERE NO CELL PHONES or social menace/media. People enjoyed time together aNd carried on in a way thay seems innocent & naive nowadays. And btw Im 42 and I still love to skate.😊
Those were some innocent and simpler times. Stayed at the roller rink, 80's, 90's, 2000's, all the time. I taught my daughter how to roller skate, she's now 22. I love roller skating still. I'm 47.
I'm 55 and HAVENT stopped since 6 yrs old !! No one thinks I'm near my age bracket 👍🌝and I seriously think loving and Still doin all i LUV rollerskating drive -ins, 🎳 bowling, beaches, amusement parks( YES I go on all the rides that I always have!😃) concerts. Ocean at 🌙 night& the gym ( tho the gyms not quite AS fun as the others😃)picnics, plays, feasts, etc.. but I CONSTANTLY tell ppl it's ALOT better feeling to go and restart up the stuff you love ,all that's possible, then it is to think about it and pine for it , ( or DONT stop in first place) not only for the health benefits but it makes life a hack of a lot more fun w/ the thimgs u 💜..to look 4ward to again!! Awesome that I still ⛸ too young lady I'll never stop n hope u don't! Isn't it 1 of the greatest feelings,ESPEC when they mix in "OL SKOOL" at the rinks?!🌠✨🌜🌝🌝🌟✨💫✨🌕🌛🌠🌙
Petra H I’m 43 and just started too! I go at least once a week and it’s the best workout. I leave sweaty and rejuvenated. Better than Planet Fitness. 😂
I will never again say “I’m getting to old for this/or that”! You know this country “America” is a master at having you old before your time! 70; oh put ‘em in a senior home till they rot away! I go to countries around the world where people are in their 90’s & 100’s in their right minds, working around the house and holding intelligent conversations! Don’t let anyone or anything dictate your life’s expectancy; every breath you take is precious and a gift! Live your life to its fullest and give a little back to help others along the way!
This lady is amazing. She is young at heart, which is one of the reasons she can still skate at her age and she doesn't dress like an old lady. Huge respect.
First off, how can this woman be 81 years old? She looks maybe 60 yo and moves like she's 30yo. Secondly, I'm so glad that roller skating is making a come back. We had so much fun back in the 70s and 80s; it's great to see it being revitalized with the new generations.
I have to correct you on one thing. Roller skating is not making a come back, it never left you just stopped skating. This goes on every month and these type of events travel from state/city to city. get connected if you want to skate. ua-cam.com/video/RBF77EBvmOs/v-deo.html
@@KevBoogieDown maybe where you are but it left where I am. Was replaced by blading. Roller rink shut down. Couldn’t buy them. Think outside your world lol.
We envy her because as a society we have become accustom to our busy yet lazy routines and let's face it we don't rock it like she does lol She's amazing!
I TOTALLY AGREE..WHEN YOU ESTABLISH NATURE AND WHAT PURIFIES YOUR HEART...YA KNOW HOBBY THAT KEEPS THE SOUL YOUNG&REJUVENATED..YOULL 4EVER STAY YOUNG!!NO MATTER YOUR AGE..ONCE AGAIN SHE..LOOKS...GREAT💯💯😍😍
No no no! I don't believe she's 81!!! 🙀oh my, she's so brave to be skating still, at that age. She's so inspiring . I'm sure she feels like she were 18. 😄. Go, Mama, go. I love you! ❤️😃

Galina Georgieva nah they aren’t that bad when you break em in I been skating for over 30 yrs even went last night I have a few pair and I have impalas too
I live a couple of hours north of this truly inspiring woman. It would be so great if there were more roller rinks. After our local rink closed, the closest rink is now a one hour drive from us. Rinks provide people with a fun place to go and keeps kids off the street.
@@TheBrightstar13 I haven't been to a skating rink since our local rink closed. We go to the park to skate now. There are two rinks near Albany that have good ratings. Guptill's in Cohoes and Rollerama Skating Center in Schenectady.
I need to get myself together! 0:41 My 39yr old thighs (in their current state)could NEVAH!😭 Back in the day my mother walked us to skating rink every weekend, AND after school we used to skate up and down the streets of my hood. I dropped my kid and niece off at the skating rink a couple of weeks ago, and when I went back to pick them up they said it was so boring. When I saw all the kids on their phones (including them) and so disconnected from one another, I understood why it was so boring.🤦🏾♀️
She is so beautiful. What a wonderful story! This is so inspirational. Skating is such a fine sport. I use to skate all the time when I was a young child in the 80s. Asked some friends to go roller skating and their expressions were priceless. I suppose I will have to go it alone - this sweet 81 year-old lady has encouraged me to do just that🎉
Oh My GOD!! She is AWESOME!! I'm almost 64 and I grew up skating on those SAME type of skates. I LOVE to skate still, and when I tell some of my younger friends I'm going skating, they look at me as if I'm CRAZY, including my son's who think I'm going to fall and get hurt, but it's just like she says... it KEEPS YOU ALIVE and I feel so full of energy after a cruise around the circle in my neighborhood... Youre only OLD if you feel OLD...YOU GO GIRL ❣❣💃🏽
Rachael that was such an inspiring episode! She is amazing looking! I just purchased my light up skates again at 50 years old, but I was holding on for dear life to my family when I put them on for the first time in years! I am motivated!
I'm 44 and tired AF. She's amazing. I miss skating. We don't have a rink where I live anymore. When I was a preteen and teenagee they had all night skate on Friday nights for the teenage crowd. We had to stay in the building until our parents checked us out. It was so much fun.
@@Apixi I've been thinking about it. I don't have any skates though. And I had brain surgery to remove a tumor a few years ago that affected my balance. I'm not scared to fall. I just need to be able to get back up lol. It would feel good to be active again. I have an adult tricycle now cause I can't ride a two wheeler anymore and I ride with my son.
This made my day and who in the heck gave the thumbs down who give a 81 year-old woman thumbs down so this woman deserves nothing but smiles I enjoy watching her skate tomorrow I am going to get up and take me a long walk beautiful so inspirational just amazing you go keep on skating keep making people's day cuz you made mine
Because she is still living it to the fullest. You can tell by her smile and sweet attitude. This lady is a treasure and an excellent example to both young and old.
Awesome U go girl!! I'm 63 years young I know skating will wheel you right into shape! I'm so proud of her. I used to skate all the time as a young girl through my 30's with my kids on a regular! Back then my body was tight and rock hard! Since then many rinks have closed. And I got away from skating. Even at 63 I'm still in pretty good shape but I need to work on my core and skating will pull that in. I'm inspired after watching this 81 year old lady skate to buy me another pair skates and go back to skating again. freedom to rock and roll let's go! 🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️ 👏🏻✨👏🏻✨👏🏻✨👏🏻✨👏🏻✨💜❤💙💚💜❤💙💚Amazing!!!💜❤💙💚💜❤💙💚👏🏻✨👏🏻✨👏🏻✨👏🏻✨👏🏻

rollerskating was just the best way to party and socialize. unlike clubbing, you could feel like you worked your body after a night out.
What??? I got the same without dancing all night at the club!!!!😏🤫
You are right it beats being at the night club, drinking alcoholic drinks. Rollerskating keeps you moving; it keeps you active; it keeps you young.

I LOVE to skate still, and when I tell some of my younger friends I'm going skating, they look at me as if I'm CRAZY, including my son's who think I'm going to fall and get hurt, but it's just like she says... it KEEPS YOU ALIVE and I feel so full of energy after a cruise around the circle in my neighborhood... Youre only OLD if you feel OLD...YOU GO GIRL ❣❣💃🏽
Tell your "older" friends you're going skating and check their response. Invite them to watch you on the rink if they don't skate. Sounds like a plan?
Rachael that was such an inspiring episode! She is amazing looking! I just purchased my light up skates again at 50 years old, but I was holding on for dear life to my family when I put them on for the first time in years! I am motivated!
This was so refreshing to watch! Shouts out to Rachelle and her partners for hooking our girl up in style!
Bless her Heart, she's amazing, Stunning for her age.
GO LADY GO! :) She looks amazing for 81!
I'm 44 and tired AF. She's amazing. I miss skating. We don't have a rink where I live anymore. When I was a preteen and teenagee they had all night skate on Friday nights for the teenage crowd. We had to stay in the building until our parents checked us out. It was so much fun.
Girl, you got a street corner! Throw them skates on and get your old ass back out there!!! I'm 50, you got this!!! Just don't break nothing 😜
@@Apixi I've been thinking about it. I don't have any skates though. And I had brain surgery to remove a tumor a few years ago that affected my balance. I'm not scared to fall. I just need to be able to get back up lol. It would feel good to be active again. I have an adult tricycle now cause I can't ride a two wheeler anymore and I ride with my son.
This made my day and who in the heck gave the thumbs down who give a 81 year-old woman thumbs down so this woman deserves nothing but smiles I enjoy watching her skate tomorrow I am going to get up and take me a long walk beautiful so inspirational just amazing you go keep on skating keep making people's day cuz you made mine
Who knew roller skates led to the fountain of youth. I know 50 year olds that look older than her. She’s beautiful!
I’m gonna have to check her ID!!!! No way she is 81!!!! God bless you girl and you make it look so easy!!!!!✌️💕
Omg she looks good never stop living life 💕
Because she is still living it to the fullest. You can tell by her smile and sweet attitude. This lady is a treasure and an excellent example to both young and old.
Awesome U go girl!! I'm 63 years young I know skating will wheel you right into shape! I'm so proud of her. I used to skate all the time as a young girl through my 30's with my kids on a regular!
Back then my body was tight and rock hard! Since then many rinks have closed. And I got away from skating. Even at 63 I'm still in pretty good shape but I need to work on my core and skating will pull that in. I'm inspired after watching this 81 year old lady skate to buy me another pair skates and go back to skating again. freedom to rock and roll let's go! 🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️

Oh! What an inspiration you are dear lady! May God bless you with many more beautiful years!🥰
I thought the surprise would be that she was a new owner of skating rink opened in her honor!
I love her. What a sensation. Keep skating my dear.
God bless her she is a inspiration. I miss rolling staking.
She seems like such a nice person :)
That's what's keeping her young!
Proof that how you represent your health,mind,body in your youth. Plays a major roll in how you hold up when you get up in age.
Everything she said about skating was true!!! To walk normal at 80 years old is a blessing, let alone SK8
