When do you thing it should be the age , when you say no more to sport. Like I just learn how to ski. Its a little scary, but I like it. People that start at a younger age, get use to better to any sport and have less fears. My 6 and 9 year olds are really good. I got tired of sitting at the lounge while my husband and kids took off. So I deasire to learn, now I go with them . I stay in the green trails, but atleast I don't sit at the lounge any more. What you guys think, when people should say that's not for me, Iam to old?

well,some ppl just luv to make comments..they just cant keep their mouthshut..i think its a good idea to inculcate sports in the young minds...it helps them in future and also keeps them busy n fit....its beter.....since u play with themm...its alsways good when a parents encourages its kid by playing himself with her/his kid....im a sporty fellow myself...and a moherless child oo...i hardly remember anyhing abt her....but it would have been great if either my dad or mom wud have played with me in my childhood and encouraged me more....these hings are priceless...it doesn matter if ur a millionaire and u buy the best shoes n best sport gear for ur kids..if u play with them,,the kids even dont care abt those expensive stuf...btw ur not at all old to play..its the only time when humans become kids for that moment......keep it up...im really impressed...play with them...make them biggest sportsperson in cumin years...and dont care what ppl say

Thats a great topic... I was just wondering if i can get into some sports now... i missed my chance when i was 16 and my mom passed away.. i was out of it for entire 5 years now i have come in contact with it ..since last year... i wonder if i should go for it leaving my permanent settled career that i have right now..though i would admit to the fact that i would definately do anything for that sport

Well I was wondaring, because at first I was scared. What about if a brake a bone or if I can learn , or people are going to make fun of me? Those where questions that I ask myself. But my husband pay for lessons, after 2 classes I was skiing. I can't lie, I am still a little scared specially when Iam coming down the hills, but I feel proud of myself I did it. My husband has been skiing since he was 4 years old, so he is really good. I thought I was going to be very add taking classes, but there where even older people than me. That also help. Don't be scare take a chance. we only have one life to live, thats hat I keep telling myself.
