[@kenshek5074]

[@xXJoeyXxcoooool]

[@almonddodson]

Yess good for you. I’m 32 and I started last year! I love the adult skating community in my city

[@horsluva0758]

I started skating in 1993 and took lessons every week and even did competitions

[@givemerodeo]

Nice. Fellow geriatric skaters represent.

[@jenndesigns_4501]

Same 36 started with my 8 year old daughter and now my 10 year old boy joined us❤

[@Notsophieofficial1000]

I am 11 and my parents won’t pay for my lesson or skates, I am kinda of self taught and right now I know how to do Waltz jump , scratch spin and salchow, and the basics, you inspire me and when I am older I can hopefully pay for myself❤

[@HayItsRhy]

Omg I’m so happy for you!

[@MalaikHmoudaRiahi]

I am 10 and I’m gonna start next month!

[@Notsophieofficial1000]

[@XxCloudiexX]

@@Notsophieofficial1000I think my parent would but we’re kinda low on money but I might try self teaching myself too! How did u self taught yourself? :)

[@maddiefigureskates]

I am a skater since I was 4, and i always see good skaters that started at any age!

[@quackstewju]

I started figure skating over 2 years ago, however due to having such a busy schedule with other sports and traveling for a long periods of time where I couldn’t go to an ice rink I am a bit behind. Right now I am learning T stops, backwards cross overs, and backwards storking, I’m still trying to persevere and get better! You are such an inspiration.

[@vivsagworld246]

I started about 5 months ago right after I turned 17! your channel was one of the things that convinced me that I could start :)

[@maria-o8x4o]

I was scared to start figure skating because ive seen videos that say you need to start very young. Thankfully I came across your account and noticed that figure skating doesn't have an age. My first class is going to be this Saturday and I'm so excited I can't wait

[@Zaraazak]

Your videos actually motivate and teach me! Thank you for your work and positive energy ❤️

[@sallywhite-yi1hv]

I've been watching your videos forever and you helped me get over a mental black an I started skating at 11! thank you so much you your videos you are a great skater and a great inspiration!!!!❤❤❤

[@givemerodeo]

I started a few years ago around 40. I'm working on my axel now.

[@gigiii..gurl..l]

im starting my first skating classes this week! thank you for inspiring me to start

[@xingbptssk]

Your videos inspire me so much, I asked my dad if I could be a figure skater because I’ve always loved watching it on TV, He said yes and I might start early next year!! Your videos are amazing, keep up the great work!! ❤❤❤❤

[@Aunald]

I started skating at the age of 26. All the way from South Africa, now skating for three to two days a week. Group sessions are the best!

[@zmaayk]

Have you ever heard of a manga called Medalist? It's about figure skating, and one of the main characters also deals with the issue of starting the sport later in life. It's an incredible work, and it was the main reason that sparked my interest in the sport. I highly recommend checking it out.

[@lilysanders8643]

Where you started group lessons is where i skate (i started skating because of you)

[@Arr0ws_for3st]

Love your channel sm❤️❤️

[@sofiafigureskates]

tysm!!!

[@tateskates]

I started at 15 too!

[@xXJoeyXxcoooool]

ive been saving up to get into a show next year!

[@BunnyYTforever]

i love watching ur videos they’re so relaxing to watch

[@GospelTestimony]

I am a figure skater, and I started at 15 ( last fall) This fall I moved up to figure skating from learn to skate. I am SO LOVING IT!!!!!! Though I do find it very hard, as I am from a small town and there are only young girls at my level. A lot of them are half my age and better than me. I sometimes feel that I have to prove myself since I am older, and it puts a lot of pressure on me, which hurts my confidence. I am currently learning 1-foot spins, backspins, waltz jumps, salchows, footwork, and stuff like spirals, spread eagles, and shoot the ducks. I am going to start learning a solo soon...I am literally SO excited!!!!! Even though my age makes it hard, figure skating is so amazing no matter your age! You are the BIGGEST inspiration to me!!! You literally make me believe in myself and my abilities. Keep up the amazing content, and happy skating to all my fellow skaters! Thank you!💖⛸

[@Just-Let-Jung-Cook]

[@Tuuli222]

Sofia, do you take any additional classes besides skating to work on your flexibility, body strength, ballance and artistry? Dance, Gymnastics, Ballet for example?

[@sofiafigureskates]

no :)

[@iceskater4.2011]

Love your videos! I just started in June at 13! 😊❤ Also, would you reccomend gently used edeas? I really want them, but i dont want to pay the $750 that they cost.

[@venti2364]

[@HayItsRhy]

I’m 13 and I will ask my parents if I can skate, I can’t believe I thought I was too old!

[@Stinkylorax]

Really want to learn figure skating as a hobby and if possible compete but my country only has like 3 ice rinks and they are all too far away from my home😢

[@This_iceee_skaterr]

first 😍

[@monicapetiz]

What if you have a rink near you but no group or private lessons?

[@monicapetiz]

What do you do then, should I just look at tutorials on KZbin?

[@BunnyYTforever]

@@monicapetizyeah i think it’s the only solution for u to learn the basics and all the figure skating moves

[@monicapetiz]

Oh, well thanks for replying.

[@BunnyYTforever]

@@monicapetiz ofc. there’s some good tutorials on yt so dw

[@beatrizbrandao1476]

I was born in tropical country, and living at countryside... It's a impossible dream, sadly.

[@xXJoeyXxcoooool]

if you have enough money try synthetic ice or off ice skates

[@beatrizbrandao1476]

@@xXJoeyXxcoooool Both really expensive in my country 🥲

[@xXJoeyXxcoooool]
