Started at 15, same story as jonny from 18-26, got back into it 2 years ago. Was like jumping back on a bicycle riding again.

started at 24... which really sucks cuz I'm too old to recover quickly, so I'll never progressin the park as much as I want to.

ah well, better late than never.

Too old? Puleaseeeee, spare me! The way I see it, only reason we feel we're "too old" is because we're no wear near as cardio active like we were when kids. If we were active everyday I bet we wouldn't feel "too old" You're gonna make me feel like grandpa with that

I started seriously last season at 23, I'm 24 now. I went once or twice when I was about 8 or so, and then a few times when I was 17. Wish I had kept it up then though, I quit when I moved to Japan six years ago because I thought it would be too expensive and crowded. Went last year for the first time, and it turned out to be the opposite. It can be crowded, but it's comparable if not better than the States. Relatively cheap, too.
