No, but it is a really bad idea to wreck.
-
Tony Hawk is old as shit and he keeps skatin I say "skate till you can"
-
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!!!
-
No, you are never too old.
-
You only live once! they can rebuild you for six million dollars
-
depends. how old like 30-40 or anything above.
-
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.
-
If you exercise enough regularly, and eat well, I wouldn't worry much until you are in your 70's.
-
no, it helps maintain motor skills and ballance. you just might need to strech more before doing so.
-
Hang ten, Keithold. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I can see it now :) +5
-
No; I don't see why it would be as long as you can maintain your balance and do it right.
-
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)

Gotta give it up in your seventies, I understand, keithold! ;-)
-
Only if you fall.
-
No, skateboarding Is a fun way to think that your young again.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Naw
-
No and why not.
-
nah, keep with it
-
Not if you have been doing it all along. Otherwise skate at your own risk
-
it's ok but a bad fall could be life threatening
-
If you're 5...maybe. if you're 50: definitely.
-
if you are not rusty at it,its fine
-
My 35 year old friend just had a skate board accident and hit his head. He was sent to the hospital and can't remember any thing.
