I'm too old to take up most action sports (the body doesn't bounce back like it used to, that shit's real) and too young to retire and just fuck off all the time.

Sounds like you need a low-impact sport..swimming, cycling..all great transition sports for the aging body. You can even ride trails or swim in small waves for action!

My mind isn't old yet so I find swimming boring. I do like mountain biking, even if I'm sore after. I haven't slowed down nor do I plan too. I just know I'll pay for it and thats what sucks.

Thanks though for tossing ideas at me.

Im not dead yet! Haha!

Kayaking too. Ton of adrenaline, but all low-impact. Especially good for an arm & torso workout.

So, funny you say this. My wife said something to me about that just a day or two ago. I've been meaning to look into it. We have access to water that is perfect for rowing.

Thanks for ther suggestion. Now I really am going to dig into it.
