Am I too old to learn how to inline skate?

 
When is it too late to learn to inline skate? If a skater begins skating as a teen or after he or she is eighteen years old, is it too late to become a serious competitive figure skater?
Answer: There is no such thing as too late to begin inline skating, if there is enough desire and the potential skater has no major physical limitations. Inline skating is a sport that has social and competitive activities for almost anyone. There are no age or size requirements. Inline skaters include people of all age ranges from pre-schoolers to grandparents. Inline skating activities do require some balance skills and strength, but these can be developed. When making a decision as to whether you are capable of inline skating, consider your:
  • Willingness to try new things
  • Physical strength and stamina
  • Activity level in other areas
  • Ability to balance in other activities
  • Coordination in other activities
 
Most adults and senior citizens are young enough at heart to inline skate. Some new retirees become beginner skaters, and there are seniors in their eighties and nineties who still participate in skating activities.
