An example of knowing personal limitations related to age:
I have what my dr called "severe" osteoporosis. I decided that I need to stop competing with myself to do everything I could as a kid, so I don't plan on doing much with jumps. It's fine with me, since I will still be able to do shows and compete artistic programs at my old level without them (when I get back the rest of the stuff).

There are a lot of things you could do that might be better than what you did as a kid. I find nowadays I'm paying more attention to things like transitions, interesting entries to jumps, skating skills, and spinning in terms of centering and revolutions. You can always continue learning new tricks that don't impact your body so hard.

So...

I'm a beginner when it comes to skating. I haven't signed up for any classes yet, but I figured I should learn some skating terminology before I start. I'm gonna ask some questions.

*How old is too old to start skating?

Thanks!
Emmi

Never. It's a sport for all
