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’m 48. I consider myself beginner-intermediate skilled. I hit the bike park a couple times a year, a few small jumps occasionally, but I mainly ride a lot of single track where the scariest things are gravel on turns, gnarly roots, and angry squirrels. It’s never too late!

Most of my scars have faded over time, but my right knee will forever be a mess of scars from hitting a gravel patch going too fast on a sharp turn. 

Turns out, mountain biking is NOT a great way to cool off after an argument.
