Is it too late to get back into skating?

Alright so recently i been thinking about getting back into skating after i walked through the Vans skate park in orlando. I'm not gonna lie it's been a while probably about 6-7 yrs now I'm 22 gonna be 23 in june I'm far from being old i just want to get back into skating for the fun and the love of it. I'm debating on buying a pair of skates since I'm now a father and married do any of you think it's to late for me to get back into skating.My wife says its a phase but i know it's not and i really want to get back into this sport. Thanks for your help.

Peace

I'm 45. I skate daily. I also think your wife saying it's a phase is probably just a phase. She'll get over it. Have Fun.

Youre never to old to skate, youre to old cuz you quit skating.

Im glad you getting back into it. I'll be 28 in less than a month and just started back up after a few years leave. I just feel a little better about life now that Im rolling again. You need an outlet sometimes and more importantly dont you want to skate with your son or daughter one day?

It's never too late to get back into skating. I am 27, recently married and I just replaced my Shima-2 customs with a brand new pair of USD Realms. I am pumped to be back at the park and hitting the streets. Do it and don't look back. Skating is not a phase it's a way of life.

I'm turning 23 this year and I just recently started back.. You're never too old, but don't forget about your priorities first.
