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.
Jesus Christ, how embarrassing. This kind of behavior is so baffling to me. I've been verging on poor for a good bit of my life, and I've earned money by working with my hands more often than not (and thank fucking god I'm not doing that anymore for the foreseeable future.) If I had Tim Pool's money, nobody would ever see my happy ass again.
At any rate, yeah, I never could get a grip on it. Never got a handle on roller blades either. Got pretty good with four-wheelers though lol
I've always been crap at sports in general, even things that I should've logically been good at, like wrestling (I'm a large lad.) I don't know if it's the ADHD or what, but not being able to get good at something right away often leads me to quit from sheer embarrassment.
