Why skaters like it
Linked in an 'Am I too old?' thread as proof you can start skating at 49 and keep progressing. Shows a late starter just rolling around a park.
“… I lost over 30 lbs just by having a good time skating. …”

What skaters said on Reddit
I started when I was 49 and now I’m 52 and I just skated today. I Vlogged my experience grandad got a skateboard on YouTube. I skated a lot this summer but did not film much. I always have a new maneuver to learn. [VIDEO]
I never could do Ollies I only casually cruised around when I was young, I started to skate parks at 49 and still progressing now at 52. I lost over 30 lbs just by having a good time skating. I am one of those guys that will continue to work on tricks even after I got a video of an accomplishment. I also keep a Vlog of my progress on Youtube [VIDEO] It is amusing to me to see the progress I have made in skating and film production. I have found that most skaters are very respectful of older skaters.
