Ive been reading a book about Tony Hawk and totally have the urge to skate again. I can say skating when I was in junior high was some of the best years of my life. Is 24 years old too old to pick this up again?

    Jeff was skateboarding and doing a few tricks too. well, at 40-something, I'd say Jeff is a pretty damn awesome skater.

    i skateboard everyday. usually around 1 1/2 hours. i longboard and slide though. its more fun and you can actually get pretty fast on them unlike the little popsicle stick trick boards.

    I just wonder if it would still be as fun...........I dont even see anybody over the age of 15 doing this anymore

    They sell the fastest bearings for regular boards too and I think its much more fun to do a variety of tricks rather than go down hills as fast as possible and slide around.

    Fun, definitely looks like it. I wish I pick up on it as a kid then I'll probably still skateboard right now.

    I'll get a few weird stares at 26 but I wouldn't care, I'm doing something most people can't do. Haha, I think I'm not athletic enough to do it now.

    If you got the skills, just do it.

    im not saying flip tricks and stuff arent fun, i was just saying what i liked. i used to just do flip tricks but i never rele enjoyed it much. i think sliding is more fun, you dont have to.

    Who cares what everybody else is doing!! 24 is nothing. My boyfriend, who is 39, came home from the dump with a skateboard last weekend. He has wanted another since i have known him (15+ years) and the only one who thinks its not cool is our 13 yo daughter.

    Dude, 24 is pretty much young enough to do anything. Go for it.
