Too old to learn?

Simple enough question. Is 25 too old to learn how to skate? And how would I go about it? Was thinking about getting a board and learn around where I live, but I don't want to look like a plank when I fall!!
Thx

I think I did most of my progressing and learning new tricks 10 years ago when I was a wee nipper of 25!! :eek: Still learning new stuff now at 35 so em.... NO your not too old!!!!! .......kids these days etc etc

I know you see alot of skate rat kids (no offence) who look about 12 and can skate really well, but that shouldn't stop you from learning if you want to do it.
I didn't start to skate alot till I was about 19, and i'm glad I went and bought that first proper board.

but I don't want to look like a plank when I fall!!

Everyone looks like a plank for a while, just cruise around on your board somewhere quiet with flat smooth ground and get a feel for it, then learn to ollie.
my 2 cents.

Thank you all. Raise a glass to my future busted bones!!!

beware thou there are ppl who seem to think if ure not good at skatin u shouldnt be doing it but they're a$$holes and as long as your having fun go for it but i advise getting a few a m8 to skate with cause one your own is ok but just not as fun in a group

I've quit and restarted about 6 times over the last 15 years: every time it's like I'm just having a go for the first time.It's all good man.
