  • 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.

    Truth: It’s hard and a slow process at any age. I’m 65 and just started skating around the house. I use padded snowboard shorts and wrist guards.

      I should have used those also. I fell filming this and it hurt for a very long time!

      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 🛼💕🛼🙂

    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 CZcams 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.

    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! 😃💖🛼🛼

    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!

    You’ll be better balanced with more momentum. Use your body weight and don’t step. You’re skating not walking….
