I'm nearly 52 and still have learning to ski on my to do list. I'm aware I'll probably find it harder than if I'd started as a child but that doesn't deter me. I reckon as long as I'm fit why not give it a go. Life really is too short.

You are too old when it comes to fashion. I am not walking around with my @rse hanging out the top of my trousers, letting my hair grow over one eye, with my crotch round my knees and shoe laces loose.
It makes running for a train carrying an ipod and satchel while holding on to your trousers very funny at 18, it's sad at 52.

You're only as old as the woman you're feeling up. 
na, you're only as old as you feel, if you feel up to skydiving at 83 then why not eh?
never going to let something like age stop me from doing something. anybody who utters the phrase "aren't you too old..." should be responded with "aren't you too sheltered to be out on your own?"

Skiing's great - you'd love it. I only ever got to do it once...shortage of money, basically...but I'd love to do it every year if I could. It's quite a lot like cycling in many ways, with the big difference that there's a lift that takes you to the top, so you're only ever going downhill!

I've never been skiing after a friend in his late teens broke an arm and a leg on his first skiing holiday. I decided at 19 I was too old for that particular game.

Age should never be a factor here. You are never too old to try anything in life. Iam more fitter and healthier now at 44 years old than when I was a teenager! Life is too short, just go for it!
That needs to go on a T-Shirt.
I don't think that is an option for me anyway...

My brother broke his arm ice-skating when he was 15.
Sometimes, when people go ice skating, arms get broken.

If we all stopped to worry about what might happen every time we do anything, we'd never do anything... certainly never cycle...
