No, but It will be extremely embarrassing
Yes. And highly embarrassing.

Don't do this. You're old, and it's a lot harder to heal from injuries. And have you been to a skate park recently? Do you really want hang out with 12 year olds? Do you really want to be seen as a guy that hangs out with preteens.
There are other active hobbies outdoor hobbies associated with an older crowd. Start rock climbing or something.
As a 39 year old....Im gonna say 'don't do it', not because I don't think you could learn it, or have fun, or would look stupid, I just know that how much stuff hurts increases exponentially between age 30, and 40.
When I was 30, I was in perfect condition, thought I'd cruise through my 30's. Now Im 39, and while I appear to be in fine health, and Im in shape still, so many bumps and bruises have turned into nagging pain that doesn't go away ever / or comes back too easily.
A hobby with less potential to 'fall hard' often, would be my suggestion. Gravity will turn its back on you soon.
But if you do, good luck, and shred stuff man.

Dumbest thing I've ever heard.People think I'm a manchild because I ride a bike.
Go for it dude.
I skated for a good 10-15 years but stopped a few years ago due to age or whatever, but having turned 30 last year I fell in love with it again and have been skating again this year.
I have the experience to fall back on, but skaters are generally very welcoming, especially if you find a group of people in their 20s at your park.
I'd probably nail down the basics before going to your park, ollies are a necessity. It's not easy to learn, but one you get the Ollie, everything else starts to fall into place.
Good luck!
Is there a Microsoft Skate Gang of just you an Chris Charla?
As the title says. Im 34 and looking for a hobby. I used to rollerblade alot as a teenager but never really tried skateboarding apart from knowing how to do a stationary ollie. As i get older i feel like im slowing down, my coordination is getting worse and im healing slower but i dont want to give up being an idiot just yet.
I dont want to do x games. Just drop in to a half pipe. Couple of grinds on a pavement.
Will i die, or break bones? Has my time passed?
Should add, im going through a bit of a slump. Doc has said its depression or fibromyalgia. Ive put on a bit of weight. The dr said any exercise will help hugely. But the gym is so boring. I never stick it out.
this is so trueI didn't start skiing until my 40s. It isn't too late unless you have a condition.
In your 30s you say you don't care what people think.... in your 40s you will mean it. Who gives a flying shit about embarrassing?

Whatever people say about padding, dont wear those.
It'll only make injuries worse and you'll be even less comfortable when learning the basics.
Just so we're clear, that doesn't go for wearing a helmet.

what
how? Is it like a BMX bike or something?
I don't see how anyone can think this when people all over the world and of all ages ride bikes.
