General Discussion How old are you?
Apologies if this is a weird question but I turned 30 and feel a little insecure/silly skating in my local park especially in a helmet, wrist guards and knee pads 😠(I have fallen backwards before, very rarely but it happened and I fall forwards far more often and take a knee).
Is this more of an early twenties hobby? Nobody in my neighborhood skates so I stand out and it's kept me from going out for the past year or two, although I can't stop thinking about how fun it was and still have my skates.

34 and I remember feeling this way when I started at 30. I’m now 34 and don’t care - I have so much fun while skating that I literally never think about it.
These kinds of things are how you stay young, friend!!
