Starting from scratch at 65. Is it too late for me to compete at the highest levels in the olympics?

Never snowboarded in my life before, though I remember trying skiing once or twice in my twenties. I'm quite fit and can walk for miles some days, though less uphill.

I've had a hip replacement and have some arthritis in my knees and hips. However, I really, REALLY want this, and am prepared to put in the effort and work, even if it means I'm in the gym all day and riding 30 days a season.

I can see myself pulling off 1440s and double backflips with enough practise, but I need that extra motivation to confirm I can reach Olympic level. If not, why even bother? Like I said, I'm prepared to sacrifice a lot, including the job I have (I'll live off my pension if I have to) and my wife is a pretty good skier so she can give me tips on balance etc. and how to do a 'lipslide' and ride 'goofy' whatever that means.

What are my chances!? I'm really determined and will dedicate myself to it. Any tricks and tips to get REALLY good, jot em down below!

Rupert: "Reflecting on the fact that 46,289 men and women from across Greater Manchester put their faith in Restore Britain and Marlon West. We don't have the history to rely on as the other parties do - those 46,289 made the effort and meant it. Their support is sincerely appreciated."

Elon: "This is extremely important to understand. The birth rate you see in the West is the BLENDED number of ~90% who have a fertility rate half that of replacement and ~10% who have a birth rate double that of replacement. Demographics is destiny."

This was in response to the comment from Francis who said:

> Mark Steyn explains the stark demographic reality: a 90% population with 1.3 children per couple and a 10% population with 3.5 children will have roughly the same number of grandchildren in only two generations. The transformation is already underway.(2010)
