- 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 😊
Absolutely. You will!!
I am 62. Skates as a kid. Would loooove to try again. It would be such great exercise and my 11 yo grandson loves to skate. I take him a couple of times a week. But.. my knees have been replaced. And I need to lose a lot of weight. If I fell, would I be able to get back up??
Im just getting started too.
At 56!😂
Me too @ 66
I am 61,, yup.. havin a hoot giggling at myself re-learning skating too lol 😁
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????
Yay!!! Another #olderroller. Follow me on IG: tristinedenise. I bought them on Amazon.
I’m 44 and trying. Keep going.
I bought my wrist pads along with knee and elbow pads at the skating rink. They were very reasonably priced and I was able to try on different pairs for size.
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! 🥰🛼🛼
You bet. I hope you're having fun.
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!
Amen sister!!
I'm 57 and been skating since Dec. of last year and love it!!! I'm getting better and better every day; best decision I made ever. Yes I wear ALL my gear; too old to be getting hurt.
Right people can be so judgmental. Tell em to mind their business. Not being active is the fastest way to have all kinds of health problems. So however you choose to exercise is good. We take risks everyday we live. Everything is dangerous. Yet we still drive, and travel by airplane, and walk outside our homes 🤣. Love life. I just turned 35 and I don’t care what anyone thinks anymore.
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.
Thank you. I stopped for a while but just started again.
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 sooooo bloody grateful!
Yes!!! That's so cool! If you're on Instagram you can find me there. I had an olderroller52 account but for some reason I can't get access to any of my content anymore. So I'm on my normal/personal account now: tristinedenise. Let's hook up there!! 😁
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.
All you can do is try and see how it works for you. I have poly peripheral neuropathy (neuropathy in my feet, legs, back, hips, shoulders, arms, hands, and fingers) and I was tired of letting that keep me from doing what I wanted to do. When I went to the ER, the Dr actually told me that staying active, like roller skating, keeps the pain at bay. He's right. I rarely have any pain anymore. I get pain in my lower back, but I put a pain relief cream on it at night. I sprained my ankle and had to stay off my foot for 6 weeks. I'm not going to die from roller skating. I might be in a bit more pain, or not be as flexible as the 20 something year old skaters, but it's worth it to me. I want to live by being alive. I'm not going to let my disease keep me down anymore. I hope you'll at least try. Keep me posted!!
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 should!! It's so much fun.
Will you share skating vlog info. Trying to find the 50+ skating crowd in Detroit.
Hi Tristine. I'm 68 year old. On march this year i srarted to practice. Don't stop fallow tour dream. We are already many. God bless you. From the Dominican Republic.
Thank you for watching! God bless you too, friend!
Yessssssssssssssss. I'm following my dream too. I'm 67
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! 🙂
You have good balance on the skates and are one brave soul Lol. I tried again over a year ago maybe twice at a skating rink but haven't back since then. My balance on skates need improved and I need someone to teach me all over again.
Thanks!!
Adorable! Thanks for being so vulnerable and open with us!
Thank you!
You go girl!!! You are inspiring.I will be 56 next month and I am saving up for some good skates and gear because after 42 years I am returning to skating. Some who are concerned about me getting injured because of my age, but for me the fear of NOT skating far outweighs my fear of injury. Thanks for sharing. Happy skating!!!💜💜💜
Same to you!!
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.
Well, I did it! My first trip around the Skating Rink in 35 years! It was slow but I made it several times without falling. of course having protective gear made me feel a little safer! I’m going to try to give it another whirl as soon as possible! My muscles just need some time to remember what to do, as I was very tense the whole time and did not want to fall.
Watching different videos on CZcams did help me to remember certain things to be aware of like weight distribution, bending the knees and hands out at your side.
I got a great set of wrist, knee and elbow pads from Walmart... About $20 if you haven't bought pads yet.
I hope you are still rolling!
That's so exciting! Thank you for coming back to tell me. I'm so sorry it's been so long to respond.
Love your determination!!! I’m looking to get back into skating. Thank you
Yay!!
Hi fellow skaters 🛼🛼💕💕. I will be 50 September 25 I started my skating journey in June .. I’ve learned to skate backwards and I am practicing daily. You did a great job!❤
Woohoo!! Great job!
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!!
Yes!!! Get up and go, girl!!
You’re so brave!! Keep having fun. It takes time and practice.
Thanks Karen. I'm having a rough day with that.
Im 53 and just got skates im so excited and yes have fallen so many times 😂 thank you for this
Thank you for one of the most honest skating videos I've ever seen. Good for you.
Keep up the good work
Thanks
Thank you
Hey 46 here!!! Used to skate when i was younger. Haven’t done in years. Bought a new pair of skates and I’m determined to do it. C’mon people over 40. Thx for sharing and posting. Takes courage. We can do it!! Woohoo!!! 😊❤😊❤
Let's roll!!
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.
I am also 66. I started roller skating at local family Disco. Was starting to improve and enjoying myelf when I felt a hand on my arm. A woman pulled me down and I fell painfully on my back. I had concussion for a week and was very sore. You are right to wear the padding. I have looked out padded shorts that fills out on impact. Will give this month a miss though. The woman who pulled me down looked about 40. She thought it was amusing...Not...but god luck on your skating journey.😂
I'm getting back on and trying to skate outside on the road. Scares the crap out of me, but I really want to do it.
Well you absolutely rock! At 61,, i am so amazed at how much our bodies change over the years,, ya,,, i hurt too .. oh my aching hip !! 😂
I just started again a few weeks ago after almost 2 years of not skating!
Way to go girly !😊
My biggest point to make if starting up to skate again, is buy protective gear!! I did not buy a helmet, but I did buy knee, elbow and wrist pads and they are a lifesaver. I am 75 years old and hadn’t skated in 35+ years. Went for the first time and could tell my muscle memory was shot. I was very tense the whole time! I watched one video for tips and they did help me and believe it or not I never fell! I am going to keep it up as I have a newer pair of skates and hope I can get used to them. Good luck to all.
Wowwwwwwwww, I'm so happy that I came across your post. You've just inspired me. I'm 67. I haven't skated in 17 years. Thks so much for posting your story. You're FOREVER YOUNG. 😉
that's great for you. I'm 71 and haven't skated in 43 years. This month I took my granddaughter roller skating for the first time for her and it felt like the first time for me. lol After the first lap my feet knew what to do but my legs felt like rubber.. So now I'm doing lots of leg exercises so the next time I go I hope my legs will hold me up. lol
I’m glad I’m not the only one! I’m 66 and went roller blading for the first time in over 30years! I went very very slow. Didn’t fall. Hope to get better!
Good job!
You go, girl!!! You look great out there!
Thank you!!
Great job! Thanks for sharing this. I’m 54, and want to start skating. It’s been decades since I last put skates on.
Missed you, friend! Love that you're doing this!
Where have you been girl??? How's the RV life and the new baby?
I Googled roller skating for seniors n this was 1st video. I'm 56 going to start skating again on rollers. I used to skate on online 15 years ago but haven't been on rollers since a kid. These are heavier. Thanks for the video.👍🙂
Holy cow, "after 50" doesn't make us seniors! 😳 🤣
You are so fantastic!!!
So are you!
Wow I’m fast motion you look like you’re skating fast! Love this I’m 49 and I want to try and skate too!
Did you start?
Kudos to you.
I identify with you.
Love your attitude.
Thanks!!
Girl! come back!!! I would love to know how the skating is going??? And everything else... :)
Thank you!! My life has been pretty sucky lately. I keep wanting to do a video but I'm not sure anyone cares to hear what I have to say anymore. 😆
Your doing pretty good especially backwards! 👍
I know!!! I'm so happy!
@@SheIsTristine 😁
I love it. I starts next week. Waiting on my protective Gear…💝
Yes!!! Congrats!
Make sure you do a warm up before stretching so you don’t injury yourself. Warm up first with lots of movement shoulder rolls ankles rolls leg swings squats whatever. Then after skating your body is all limber so you can stretch which is the cool down. I hope this helps.
Sure does, thanks!!
Wholesome ❤❤❤ I'm 41 and also learning.
Yay!
I want to try and get back into skating, my last attempt was in my 20s, ended up with a cracked radius. Still want to try again even though i'm now 42
Ouch!!
Thank you for sharing. My daughter wants me to skate with her but I’m so nervous.
Give it try!
I’m 55 and rollerskating with my life as a kid. I still have the same skates from when I was a teenager and they fit. Our school is having a skating party and I really want to go but I have a bad back and I am terrified to fall, I feel like I need a walker to hold in front of me while I skate lol so I’m going to try to practice ahead of time, so I’m not scared.
Thank you for this video!! You are so inspiring and im also 52 and learning to inline skate.. kudos to your channel!! Much Love and Care!! Praise to our Lord Jesus Christ!!
Thank you!
love your attitude , I'm going to buy some skates next week ......I've just celebrated my 50th birthday ...what could possibly go wrong? lol
😆 🤣 😂
Truly inspired!!
Thank you!! Get out there and skate!
Look at you! You're off to a great start!
Thanks. When do you get your skates?
I have to order them lol.. not sure but it's a plan!
54 and really want to learn how to do this ! You are doing great and very brave !
What company did you get your skates from? I love them!
You should!! They say Moxie skates ate the best. However, if start out with maybe a cheaper brand until you feel this is what you really want to do.
Congratulations!!!!
Thanks!
I thought you were 42... looks like your off to a good start on skates.
awesome you found someone to give you some tips.
best tip ive got is... pick a side (or one bum cheak if your going to fall on it) it will save you doing your coccyx.
my only question is are you using gummy outdoor wheels or indoor harder ones?
I did roller derby for years, hence the user name, hit me up if you have any questions.
happy to share as you helped with my new cavitation thingo :)
Love it!!! I could use loads of advice. I'm utterly clueless. I just bought a hip/butt pad since my neuropathy is in my hips too. I seem to like to fall on my right side. 🤣🤣🤣
@She Is Tristine I learnt when I did roller derby to fall on my knees, but you need good pads to do it safely (triple 8s or 187 brand) learning to fall or do a controlled drop keep you from getting hurt.
you want the right wheels for the surface you on, indoor wheels are to hard for outside.
keeping your legs apart and bent is good if your going over bumps or might fall.
tightening the wheels up and walking about on carpet is great at getting your center of balance... once you find it, its all good from there.
check out - indy jamma jones channel... shes got some great tips.
after you taught me the word pooch... ive got a derby injury word for you - gyna shiner, yes its a skate to the crotch bruise and they hurt :)
Too funny!! I actually just watched one of her videos today. I also have outside wheels. I think balance is my main issue right now. I just need to keep practicing. If you care to follow my journey on Instagram my username is olderroller52.
Are you still skating after the sprained ankle? I hope so. I'm 57 and just ordered a pair but I'm a bit nervous since I have sprained and fractured an ankle in the past (not from skating), but worried about weak ankles. I just feel the need to get back on roller skates though after over 3 decades. I'm on CZcams looking for inspiration and hoping you're still going!
I had to stop for a while but picked it up again a few weeks ago!!
I just bought skates... I have wanted them for the last 2 years, but afraid I'll bust my a$$. And I'm 50, etc... Still, I did it - I'll get them next week. However, watching CZcams, your video popped up - realized YOUR FROM KENOSHA! it's a sign 🤯 ! In some form or another 🤔 I live in Texas, but originally from Racine 😃
All that being said and may not make sense, but it was something for me🤩 thank you!
Hi neighbor!!
This is my goal too!
Yay!!!! How cool!
me too!!! i have not one clue about how to look after them, it’s been 30 years and over since i was a roller nut but one thing i can remember is the freedom i felt, and im going to try anything to distract me from this bloody menopause!!!lol!!
Omg your speaking to my soul im going through the same 😢
Love it!!
I'm nearing 40 and I tried roller skating again for the first time in decades! I couldn't even stand up. I felt like a failure. :(
Lol, keep trying!!!
How are you doing with your roller skating? I'm 55 and want to start.
I haven't been on my skates much. I went back on a few weeks ago and fell instantly, but got back up and rolled like normal. 😆 You definitely should start. It's so fun!!
Impossible is nothing. Nothing is impossible.
Try watching videos named dirty school of skate. She is a great instructor.
Dirty Debbie??? If that's it, I've been watching her. I love her!!
Hey How's it going? I want to learn to skate! I just found your channel.
I stopped skating for a while but just started again.
I want to skate but scared to order online due to sizing. Trying to make sure my toes don't hurt. I wear 7.5 women. Any recommendations?
Yes. Most skate sizes are men sizes and the company you order from will tell you how to size or accordingly. I wear a wide 8, ordered an 8 and they for perfect. But each skate will size differently.
Charlie horse 🐎 lmaoooo
Hello friend what kind of socks do you have on friend
You are beatifull mature roller skater lady and just keep praticing with roller skating so i hope that when you put on yours roller skates on yours socked feets and roller skated with them that enjoyed in that so just be insistent and keep going with your roller skating pratice and one of most important thing for roller skating is comfortable and soft socks so that socked feets become dirty of sweated from roller skated with them when you get roller skating skils
