Is it normal for a 29 year old woman to start skating in parks/the street?
Is it normal for a 29 year old woman to buy a pair of skates and start up skating again? Bearing in mind that I'm going to be going to parks on my own and looking like an absolute dork while I'm getting used to skating again and learning the basics (e.g. I never learned how to stop properly).
I don't really want to learn tricks but I want to be good enough to eventually skate in the street to get to places.
Skateboarding is out because it's really hard on the joints and I couldn't handle that for very long. I want a long term hobby to do even as a wrinkly old lady : o )
If I tell my family, they'll just say, 'when are you gonna grow up?' But I want a good cardio that's fun.
BTW I can go ice skating sometimes but it's too expensive to go as often as I want.
