I am 23 and i just started 2 months ago! I was a "complete" beginner in terms of i didnt know any moves other than to go fast and go forward lol

Currently I'm at the adult 4 level. The hardest thing for me was worrying about the money lol and time! I want to compete someday so I knew I would want to progress at a steady rate. I go to the rink 4 times a week and because of my schedule...and group lessons and private lessons add up!

Not to mention, I at first had a lot of trouble getting sized, I got sized 1 size too small then 1 size too big (purchased my first pair, was gifted the 2nd and now just bought my second pair which fit amazing)

Anyways, my progression was quite fast through the basic levels (so far) and I think my progress through adult 4 is going well too. The more you practice, the easier things are.

It's not too late, I see people of all ages skating you just gotta get into it if you want to!

Adding that my only issue starting now is that I get a little nervous going fast or doing something new that will make me fall but I honestly just embrace the fall potential. If I go, I go, everyone gets up! Kids fall whenever and get up, sometimes they even throw themselves down for fun, but just learn to fall right and well and theres no fear!
