Hi Guys Please could you tell me if there is an age limit in GS as my grandson and I wish to start racing, I was heavily into gravity sport (down hill) in 1975 usually on main roads in Cornwall. I still have my boards but the wheels have decayed over time. I am 62 and my grandson is 12. Regards Colin (Coneman) www.macearchive.org/archive.html?Title=29462

Hi Colin , most of the gravity sport disciplines have different age groups ,this can also differ from venue to venue , best to do a search on the IGSA website and possibly the IDF , it is good to see the youngsters getting into the sport , but as for you ,are you not old enough to know better ? LOL ( this is what i keep getting asked , i am only 51 ! ) Where are you from ? I am from snowdonia and do Streetluge ,Classic luge & Longboard you are both welcome to come and practise /train with us ,My sons, grandson and I are out a couple of times a month , some great spots around here !

Hi Woody. Thank you for your reply, I live in a village in Leicestershire. I think age is a state of mind, but I can’t remembr!! I have taken on more “risky” activity’s in the last 10 years than I have before, I Ski, Snowboard Airboard, Race a motorbike, Freeboard and now back to GS, the biggest buzz ever Was the Olympic Bob sledge in France that has to be the top GS.
We would like to build a Kart, and a sidecar outfit, I think I am a bit to big to fit onto a BMX, unless I could build a GS bike to suit my size, but then it wouldn’t be in the rules?
My days of skateboards (downhill) are long gone I still have them, and I can still ride one (I only do it to upset the kids).
Regards Colin. PS, just remembered, I don’t do old.
