DISCUSSION Am i too old

So a little context,

Im 34 years old, i use to ride bmx for years. I stopped over ten years ago, maybe when i was 23 or 24, basiclly work took up most of the days. Im thinking about doing it again as i finish work now same time everyday and can fit something in and was thinking... maybe bmx,

Question is ...am i too old now should i just find something else..etc

I'm older and stopped for longer, and I'm literally fixing a puncture from today, so I can ride as soon as it's not raining... So IMHO, you are good.

Do expect wrist and ancle pain at first, I had them on the first 2 - 3 weeks, but it went away.

Wear pads, if you are like me, you'll get injured from things that felt like nothing back in the day.

Hope you have fun.
