Yellow warning light comes on for your knees around mid 20s for some people nigga.
I used to skate and now I cycle. There’s a reason middle age guys blow 5 grand on carbon bike frames. They wanna fee young again.

Do you baghold omg by any chance?

>> No.21227817

You could learn to ride around at any age
Even do some basic tricks
Tony Hawk still skates at 55
Just don't expect to jump down any sets of stairs or your knees will blow up

idk man i recently just got back into it and built a weird semi oldschool board. been riding around bombing hills, its a great workout actually. really fun but then i got to watching some of the old bones brigade videos and wanted to learn do some simple freestyle tricks. couple days ago i fell on my wrist twice and sprained it pretty bad, so much pain lol. so yeah if ur just riding around id say any age, but learning tricks into my late 20’s i dont bounce back as quickly after falling.

concrete hurts a LOT more when you hit it at 25 vs 15. even more at 30+.
Also the injuries is got 10+ years ago skating (dislocated shoulders, fractured collar bone) will be with me the rest of my life and have already turned me away from other hobies i would otherwise really enjoy (mainly climbing).

find something a little more low impact OP.

25 top
Your knees and ankles will be severely damaged and probably will need to take colagen pills during your 30s to recover the damaged tissue between your joints

if you can still handle all the tumbling around on the concrete, you're cool.

>> No.21229034

probably like 28 or so. you can really kill yourself on those things once you become a 30 year old boomer.

Skateboarding as a hobby actually keeps you super fit if you get into it. Going to a skatepark once or twice a week is more of a workout than hitting the gym even.
Plus side, you get to meet cool zoomers and the occasional cute zoomer girl.

you are never too old to learn a new skill anon. In fact, learning new skills will help keep you feeling young and alive.
