Is 30 years too old to start skating?

No

You're never late 🙇‍♀️
Though I've never done any skating I've seen
even people in their fifties sixties skate
And you're just 50kg
That's definitely not a lot
I believe
You'll do it very well
Just try to find a better store or is it available online?
Everything will be fine 🙇‍♀️

You probably need to go to a better store. I've never heard of adults being barred from this

If you lived in Canada you wouldn't have an issue finding stuff

Ice skating? No it’s not too late! And you do not need training skates. Get some lessons and show up with your big girl skates. They have the push bar you can use until you’re steady enough to use without

That's truly weird. It's perfectly normal for adults to skate. However, it's true that training, two row skates for adults might be an odd request now. I kind of assumed they were rather a fashion matter in 90s or so. At least music videos from 90s were the only place where I've seen them on an adult.

I am 55 and I still skate.

@assemblingaknob by what you say i would say try another sports shop as those assistance came over unhelpful and rather judgemental . they do not deserve your custom and you might need to find a shop that is genuine and help you as a first time skiier and advice what you are looking for

I'm not sure what skates you mean but it doesn't matter, if you enjoy skates then get skating!

If.you wanna do it there are heaps of places to order skates online .

But id also really recommend kneepads and wrist guards . Falling over as an adult is a lot harder on the body.

If youve no experience, roller skates are a tad easier ....but then when you go to blades you have to relearn at lot of stuff as the feel and motion is a bit different .

Plus roller skates are pretty retro 🤗

Edit : one thing you can also look into is the type of wheels on your skates . They make them for different surfaces and purposes .
Some are softer and slower but give good feel over concrete, whole others are harder but give good speed on a rink .

A normal store would want to sell you skates 🤔 Then being inline or training.

It depends. Do you have good insurance?

Never to old to start

Better off not using so called training skates to learn

No.

It's also not too old to start falling 😁

Dude, eat a Twizzlers and re-adjust reality.

I used to roller skate as a teenager and dismissed the idea of getting back into it (and I’m considerably older than you).
Then I saw this:
