50 something's and too old.

[sadgit]

Ok, I am 52. Am I too old to buy a skateboard or roller skates? I see them as a fast way of transport and something I never had as a kid. None of these lazy electric ones. Plus on Jungle videos they look cool, skates that is.

I want a hover boaRd and I am 59.

And cash use an electrification device, apparently

58. Still got my Grentec Cayote GT board. Mrs thinks I'm nuts. 30 yr old son pigged that I still have an edge on him. Only inhouse challenger I see on the horizon is my grandson,
... he's 5 months. And I don't even wear my Alley Cat helmet these days!!

First board was a plank of wood with a split roller skate.

But, Not allowed a scooter or a leccy bike as they are too dangerous. Not even allowed a dog!! Have to placate myself with a fast car.

Mrs is becoming a right Killjoy. She's right to think the new patio is for her.

I am 66 and built my first brick potting shed 8m x 4m with roof ... never too old for new experiences

I too am in my sixties, but a hip replacement makes you feel like you’re back in your thirties

64….those wake boards have never been more appealing.

However old you are (and providing you are not hurting anyone else) just do what you want to do, wear whatever you feel like* and go where you want to go. Life’s too short for regrets and not doing stuff because you thought it might be embarrassing.




* Where is captain5 when we need him to make some sort of disparaging remark on the clip of me on a night out?

Absolutely not too old. Live life on your own terms. F**k sensible clothes and being bound by what other people expect.

I can watch those people for hours flying like birds. They look cool. Not sure if I'd look the same on a stake board going for my Saturday paper. Want to but.....

Yes you need to understand now the best you can get is to watch youtube vids of much younger people doing all this activity stuff. However , if you must do so, then wear a full body protection suit , else cracked elbows , knackered knees and pulled hamstrings , calfs and a twisted back is going to be your near future physical health scenario plus the worst bit , absolutely no sympathy from those around you!! Honestly ,what's the matter with draughts , chess , airfix models or painting army figurines ?

 

[Nobby_Barnes]

F**k sensible clothes

The mind boggles

Kudos to you if you can learn to ride a skateboard to a commuter standard in your fifties!
