Am I too old to start learning?

Hi everyone, my son (age 6) asked for and got a skateboard for Christmas and he's getting along with it quite well, but he asks me to help and I feel as though I've shown him all I can.

Now, I want to learn with him so that we can spend that time learning together and have that as "our thing" that we can do together. My only issue is that I'm 37 in a few days and I was very unsuccessful when I tried my hand at skateboarding as a youth. Am I too old to learn? There are way more resources than when I tried and the kids at the skatepark are way more helpful than when I was a kid, so they've been helping my son out quite a lot, which is great to see.
