42 Years old and look like Homer Simpson. Should I try skateboarding and, if I do, how long should I try before deciding whether or not to give up? (lemmy.world)

Hi All,

I've been doing brazillian JiuJitsu for the last 7 years and recently got a pretty bad shoulder injury that's going to keep me out for a while. I will likely be on the mats again at some point but not sure when.

I'm looking for something else to do in the meantime (and maybe for the long term). If your dad was in the same position as me, would you advise him for or against skateboarding? And if for it, how long should I try it before i decide if its for me or not?

Thanks!

I'm 37 and have been considering getting an electric skateboard to speed up my daily commute. Currently it's a 25 minute walk with a set of steps, my thinking is I'd be able to carry it on them.
