Too late to start riding a skateboard?


I'm 15, and I want to get into skateboarding. Its hard for me to ride one, and everyone at my age is good. I have bad balance, and normally go to the skatepark on a pro mountain bike. I want to learn, but I don't want people to laugh, and i dont want to waste $100 on a board if I learn that I don't like it.

Should I start, or is it too late, and how can you ride one well?

It's never to late and remember practice makes perfect, I bet Tony Hawk and Steve Caballero did not get to be as good as they are in 1 or 2 tries. Good Luck
Sure! Start, it's never too late. If you don't want others to see you practice, just practice at a different place, or go to the skate park at a different time than everyone else. When you get better, then start going to the skate park, no one will care that you aren't the best, just tell them you're new at it. And besides, who cares what they think if you're doing something you like. I've seen people 18 or 19 years old that have been skating for years and they still mess up and crash alot, no big deal. Just do what you like.
its not too late to learn just get one of those $10 skateboards, halment and pads and practice balancing by pushing off and trying to turn ur board to the right or the left. I'm not that great at skateboarding either. I just started so do what I do, if u have YMCA with a skate park or just a skate park near by just go there and ask if they have skateboarding lessons. Plus I'm a girl and don't want to get laughed at either.
ive been skateing for a year and a half and i thougt the same thing at first i spent 100$ on a skate board and its alot easyer to learn on your own skate the more u just ride on side walks and streets the better your balance will get
just borrow one your friends old boards and i noticed that if you skate with skaters that are better than you'll get better faster cuz you already know a trick is possible cause that kid down the street does it all day without falling
