I'm going to take a couple of lessons I think. Yesterday I went from one end of the kitchen to the other and at 39 that was my first time on a skateboard. So, there's a long way to go.

My 11 yo son asked me to take lessons too so we can go skate together. I'm 48 and not sure if I will, considering the fact that, since he started skating 3 yrs ago, he broke his ankle, upper arm and (this weekend) the Radius of his lower left arm. Not mentioning last years' concussion and the several bruises and hematoma. But it looks fun, that's true.

Good call, i'm 40 and haven't skated for almost 30 years so i should probably do the same.
If you're anywhere near Sydenham the retail carpark (outside B&Q) is popular with older skaters and is a good spot to practise. Smooth, lots of space and i've seen a few beginners there.

Good luck with it, I picked up a board in the summer but fudged my knee which put a stop to things. Keen to get started again but this weather isn't helping. Have you got somewhere local to skate?
