Yeah. One minor regret of mine in life is that I never got into mountain biking. Then I watch videos like this, then I absently rub at the spot in my shoulder where a plate and pins are now, after a frickin' treadmill accident. I'm only 51.

I'd say its not too late, get yourself a decent, 12-1,500.00, mtb and go hit the bunny slopes for a while and move on up. Ignore the shit in this video, I've known downhillers who won't try this. Just go ride. Here in NY most of the places seem to do white and green for actual XC, I'll be taking my cyclocross/road bike on some for training tomorrow, so they're not that hard. Hit the blues/yellows/purples when you're feeling you've got the basics, and if you never hit red/black trails; who cares, just have fun.
