i've been skateboarding and aggressive rollerblading since i was 5 years old and now i'm 31, i personally feel like anyone who sticks with it long enough can learn, but it's definitely way harder to learn as an adult than a kid.

there was actually a really funny indecent involving beanie baby tim pool and his local skate scene fairly recently. there's a DIY (one of those unsanctioned skateparks i was talking about) where they were holding a contest, and tim pool tried to buy his way into the scene by offering up 20k in prize money for the winner, but they declined, told him to fuck off and that he's not allowed anywhere near their DIY. he cried, called them communists, and his bitch ass spent like a million dollars to buy the land their DIY is built on just so he can lord it over them that "he still lets them skate there". bro is pathetic.
