Anyone doing it here?

I would love to learn how to skateboard, but I think I am too old to learn to skate.

I am 27 year old.

I used to look up at jamie thomas, Rodney mullen, etc

Do you think I am too old to learn skateboarding?

People learn to ski in their 50s+, so why not skateboard in your 20s.......

How well do you bounce?

That is your choice really - but once you get injured and it will take longer to heal unlike the younger generation.

Yep, you are old git in their eyes

You're never to old. Buy a deck and get yourself to your local skatepark (www.sk8m8.com to find one).
The bigger indoor parks often do lessons.
I go to Peterborough skatepark with my girlfriend every weekend, she's just started to learn ramp skating on inlines at the age of 25. Dropped her first halfpipe a couple of weeks ago, I was so proud.
