No, you are never too old.

Keep skateboarding!!! Just use a bit of protection gear 'cause I think it hurts more when you stack as you get older. Go for it!!!
by Teresa on July 18th, 2009
Well, I guess when you get older you lose dexterity, balance, strength, and skateboarding would become dangerous -- but I'm talking when you're in your 60s, 70s, 80s, here.
Otherwise, I don't think it's a bad idea at all. I mean, there is a certain culture that goes along with skateboarding that you'd have to accept ... if you want to be taken as a professional, conservative adult, skateboarding might get in the way of that.

No, but it is a really bad idea to wreck.

Only if you fall.

It is a bad idea to skateboard without a helmet, hip and butt pads, shoulder pads, knee pads....oh, heck! Just use your kid's old football gear get out there!(lol) If I can manage to jump out of a perfectly good airplane and land safely and help carry young people with busted ankles to the center point, you can risk a skateboard trip of a few yards, you woossy! (lol)

Hang ten, Keithold. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I can see it now :) +5
by Evanfris25 on July 18th, 2009
no, it helps maintain motor skills and ballance. you just might need to strech more before doing so.
by Tveg on July 18th, 2009
If you exercise enough regularly, and eat well, I wouldn't worry much until you are in your 70's.
by dylant053 on July 18th, 2009

Skate for as long as you feel fit. Age is only a number. Just don't be stupid and hit rails and gaps when your 60 yrs. old.
by Wyn the Doll on July 19th, 2009
I play with my kids skateboard occasionally nothing serious, just kicking off in the smooth rock free garage. It would be bad if I fell though.
by Rollie on July 18th, 2009
Yes it is if you have never learned when you were younger. I have thin bones and have never skate boarded and I'm 70. NO THANK YOU to the skateboard.
by Carl_07 on July 18th, 2009
