I tried again at 38 and completely fucked my knees doing a few flatland tricks.
-
I came back from a holiday in NZ earlier in the year - skate parks everywhere!
So of course get back to London and try to get back into it.
The intervening years have been hard - my body no longer flexes the way it should, the fear of hurt is 10x stronger & my ankles are made of cheese!
I still go out occasionally but I'm a borderline danger around other people and am inconveniently located an awkward distance between skate parks.
Worth having a go though if you're into it - when something goes right it still gives off the joyous feelings!

I started again at 40 and have yet to regret it. Took a little while for my ankles to stop feeling sketchy and I’m still really crap, but I get a lot of joy out of it so who cares.

30 is young. You’ll be fine.

Considering the terrifying decision to try skating again at 30 years old and 130kg. Enjoyed it when I was a teenager and I'm a lot better at learning things now and less distracted by smoking weed in the skatepark so might actually be able to learn something.
