Why can't everyone be as pure as her. If u are bored or lonely, pick up a passion, go help someone, do something other than sit around and waste away your life

Alyson Richard exactly, im 28 and iv just started inline skating. I feel like everyone stares at me and laughs because they see a woman skating (not very well) But iv learned not to care and just enjoy myself and try and get better. I think people worry what other people are going to think too much

How would 28 be too old to do anything?

this is probably the single most inspiring thing I have ever seen. Lena Salmi you are a hero, in every sense of the word & if more people shared your outlook on life we would all have a far better one.

I would love to just sit with her and ask a few questions. This lady has some secrets on growing old.

What a queen

great job putting the closed captions IN THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN. Your friend deaf guy.

Very inspiring. There's no reason to be afraid of getting old when you're not afraid of doing what you want, no matter how old you are.

I like her, very humble and a passion for life. It's good to see people like this.

What a sweet lady. You just want to give her a hug. I'm 40 and have been skating for the last 35 years, I hope I'll still be on my board in my 60's.

❤❤❤ We ride till we die

I'm 37 - felt like I was too old to skateboard, but bought on vacation on a whim. I learned how to skateboard in a hotel parking garage. I sprained my ankle (skateboarding) the day before left. Let me tell you, it was not fun trying to get around 3 airports on a sprained ankle. You don't heal as fast as a young person, either. I didn't let this deter me, though. I'm back on the skateboard riding down the street. It was hard to get back on again. I was so scared at first, but it's the most amazing feeling! I wish I had the courage to try more things when I was younger!

This women is amazing she is doing two of my favorite things at age 61 skateboarding and spray painting what a legend

Love her courage compassion the power to touch teach and share her passion 🏂🌹💞💓

What’s a great lady!

Lets talk about how hip and stylish this lady is. & I'm Loving her vibe!

This is me when i'm her age she's a inspiration to all ages to not limit yourself :)

From one skateboarder to another .... YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! I hope I am still on my board when I am your age!!! Age is nothing but a number baby!!! MAD LOVE FROM NY,NY!!! RESPECT!!! DO YOU BABY .....DO YOU !!!!

I want this wonderful lady to be my grandma!! I've been skating since 1984, and would love to skate with her!! 🤘🔥

Good for her. Never stop living. The people in nursing homes stopped living, body atrophied, sickness set in, followed by misery and acceptance. If you enjoy working into retirement years, do that! If you want to take on a new hobby go for it! 😁 getting old doesn't have to suck.

Awesome lady

Ok, like who would dislike this? She's awesome!

This Is just so heart warming.

True skateboarder . Having passion and sharing it with everyone !

So inspiring!

here for this!!

This video is amazing

The coolest 65 year old woman ever!! I am so inspired. She even has a kick ass style of clothing. And then the graffiti art!!!?? Dam straight girl❤️

Absolutely golden❤

Can't wait for a video part

25, working out, learning how to skate and always admired graffiti. This lady has more style than I do. Great motivation and I wish her the best.

I love her !

Awesome lady, Im 47 and slowing down skating, she got me fired up to continue.

I love this women!

"Don't think what other people think, take your life in your hands"

Great story, good work you're doing, for yourself and others✌❤

I’m a surfer and was away from the ocean for 2 years and got a surf/skate board and I was having so much fun in a little town skating in a empty lot. They called Secutity on me and I stoped skating! I’m now back in the ocean and still want to skate I’m 42

Oh my gosh I’m gonna cry

Now this is what a free confidant woman is❤️

Good for Lena! I taught myself to longboard in my 40s and I have found it to be very life-enriching. It's rewarding to be able to hang out with my kid who has learned to skateboard as well. I think older people should give it a try if they are physically able; it's a very pleasant form of exercise. Take care, all!

Made me shed a tear 😢

You are an inspiration! Keep riding!

Sooo cool👏

I Love This!!! I wanna be like her when I grow old.

Live life with Agency and Gratitude: This lady uses skateboard to fulfill her life and thankful everyday for it.

I love this lady!

beautiful great rider :D

OOo dang so inspirational

Love this woman spirit !!!

She is an inspiration!

I hope she lives a long life doing what she wants. She looks truly happy.

What a interesting and inspiring person I hope to grow old like her

So cool

She's awesome

I quit skating because I started at 11 years old and felt too old to start skating. I regret it now so much but imma try again. We are never too old to anything!

The most honerable words to ever hear, and they are true "Don't think what other people think", "take your life into your own hands

I love you Lena!!

Yas queen🙌🏻

how could anyone dislike this video?

As if i needed another reason to love finland lol this woman is my hero

Never skated in the '60s, but will get a board. It keeps getting back burnered. At 68 I know I can do it.

I Love her

Love her spirit! Great example for aging gracefully.

she is so cool

True once you start to skate you explore I saw my whole town as a skate spot then we started going to an abandoned place and brought our box set and rails

Love

I wish I had a Grandma like her

You go girl...

💛💛💛

i can't wait to become her one day

❤️❤️

Man, i wish i have a grandma like this

I want a skateboard teacher like her.

She's Awesome What A Great Example

I fucking love her

Go grandma ! Live your life the way you want, not what TV, or scared rabbit people think you should live.🤘
