    I’m 53 and just started learning 🎉 Love your videos! I’m practicing daily in my home. I cannot believe I’m doing this😊

    I'm almost 60 and I skate 2× weekly or more. I have been told I am too old but I tell them I'm moving and healthy unlike their mouth moving and UNhealthy

    I'm 57 years old and can still do a double flip on roller skates!! You're never too old it's all about taking care of yourself... I've had double hip replacement surgery from years of skating, but can still roller skate thanks to my surgeons.

    I’m 63 and I skate still.. love it! My skate friends are older than that. Wear your gear! By the way..I would never had guess that you were 55.. that’s inspiration right there to still skate! You look great! Wow!

    53 and converted my basement into a rink. Every time someone reacts like I'm too old and that I might fall, it just encourages me to keep rolling.

    I've been accused of having a mid life crisis because I skate, Rollerblade, ride bikes, and have recently started learning to free skate. I never really stopped being athletic. I'm just way more into it now because my kids are grown so I can do some things I enjoy now. I had a client that took up skating in her 70's! I'll never understand people who think getting older means you just lay down and wait to die.

    Hey everybody. I'm 71 and back to skating after a 15 year hiatus. Form and muscle strength is returning. Starting to re-learn jumps. Thanks Deb for your inspiring videos. Dan from Tennessee now.

    I’m 55 and started skating again, haven’t skated for over 40 years. Your vid was encouraging bc I don’t wanna hurt myself however I love skating. Love your basics on fundamentals and I hope to meet you one day. 😊

    I’m 49 and have just started to learn. One of the reasons I’m doing it is because someone said that a 35yo was too old to skate. Fed up of this negative ageing narrative! You’re never too old and it’s never too late!! 🛼

    I am 66 and 3 weeks ago, I started skating again after 40 years! I used to be a great skater and it's all coming back..bit by bit. So just do it! I am also 100 pounds overweight :)

    Showed up to my first roller derby recruitment at 27 with no skating skills. I have teammates who started for the first time at 54 and 55. It’s never too late!!

    I’m a 38 year old husband and dad. I was soo embarrassed by what ppl would think of a grown man falling. Once I seen how sad my 7 year old daughter was because I was embarrassed to get out there with her, it struck a nerve in me! I’m currently working on my crossovers 😊

    I go to your videos for everything at 53 (almost 54). Every time I’m practicing essentials or cruising outdoors. I just breathe, relax and enjoy myself, taking the essentials and building on them. Seeing others encourages me, but I realize what my goals are, and how I can go about achieving them. Practice, practice! Thanks for this video and your support 😘

    Thank you! I'm 54 and started skating last year. I always return to the question of whether I am fit enough to skate. I'm not athletic, I sit behind a desk all day, and I'm definitely out of shape. BUT I enjoy it so much that I don't care. It doesn't stop me from continuing to try and build up my stamina. Thank you for being so positive and supportive! You are always great to listen to.

    I just turned 52 and received a pair of quad skates for my birthday. I ❤ your channel! Greetings from Augusta Georgia! I already wrecked myself getting my 12-year-old skate brain to realize that this wetware is different. And am so proud! 😂
