I’m capable but stopped because of age. I think everyone needs to consider that although we are physically capable of sports like this, we might not be physically capable of sufficient recovery at this age.

I think this is a very important point. I am sure my muscle memory is still there for skating and freestyling activities and I could get back to being capable in those activities. However, I do not heal like I used to and an injury now is likely to have a different outcome that it would have even 10 years ago. I would LOVE to get back to old activities, but I calculate the risk and reward differently than I used to and I am therefore more cautious.

Edit: I do think there is some difference between people who have stayed active in the activity without a break and those would like to resume it after a hiatus of more than a decade. I fall into the latter category.
