lol your not considered old until ur at least 35. SOAPs are made for older teens, young adults, and even adults too. I dont' know how old Tony Hawk is, but there isn't exactly an age limit on sports (well, maybe heeling XD).

Get yourself a pair. Worse comes to worse you don't like SOAPing, and you still have an extremely comfertable shoe (the high arch spreads the impact onto the entire foot instead of pressure points on the heal and ball of the foot, providing a more comfertable wear).

I do suggest for everyone to start low and work your way up. Go to your local hardware store and get a 2 inch diameter 10 ft PVC pipe, they work great for practice rails. Find some way to secure it, if you have a power drill, drill some screws into the wood and the pvc or find someway to keep it from rolling.

Good luck ;-) But don't worry, ur not too old lol.

Nice 1 guys, I won't be getting the wheel chair out just yet then!

Dude, it is never too late. I do regeret not getting into soaping earlier, but that's only because I couldn't try other shoes. Dude, it's never to late to join. :)

:D great to hear man

Sounds like Soaping would be good for you. Keep skating though. I've been skating for around 10 years and so far soaping has been much easier than skatbaording for sure. I enjoy both equaly though. I've been trying to combine both sports. Example: Riding up to a bench, jump off the skateboard, grind the bench with my soaps, jump back onto my skateboard.

Thank goodness, *rubs forehead
