Am I too old for this???

[kishken]

The other day I was playing DDR at the arcade, doing a few 6 and 7 footer songs. Afterwords I was aproached by a 12ish year old kid who told me I was the best "old person" he had ever seen playing this game. I wasn't very good compared to all the others gathered around the machine. So, this made me wonder, How old is too old for playing DDR? I'm 28. Any other "old farts" out there?

28 is not old Yo. Don't let it get to you man DDR is good for everyone that can play it!
So I'll say may be 50 . . . No 60 yeah thats it 60.
Just play till you don't have fun or you Dr. says not to

Speaking as one of the oldest farts here, at 28 you're a mere child

If 28 is "way too old" to play DDR, then I'm really a grandpa when it comes to playing DDR, since starting this craze back in April 1999 at Cyberzone Arcade in Koreatown, Los Angeles, CA (I'm now 36 going on 37)! Is that a trip or what? Please reply, over! Thanks!

16 started when i was 14.

*shrug* i guess its normal.

I'd be pefectly fine with someone 30+ playing DDR at my arcade.

My DDR buddy in California would be 29 now and one of the guys out here is 32 or 33. Don't feel too old. If my 55 year old friend/former teacher were able to move better, she says that she'd play.

I'm 14, and I like to see older people at the arcade. A lot of them know some tips and stuff and they don't seem OLD. Of course, I could use some more people at the arcade, because only like two people go there.

32 years and a few spare months old here; only actively started playing about 14 months ago...it's done wonders for my weight(dropped 10 pounds in 3 months), and general health....

I'm 18, there are several people in my area who are at least 25 though that I've seen playing and are fairly good at it. 28 isn't too old at all. The more adults we get interested the more obsessed fans there are who can advertise it easier through the media.

I turn 27 next week, but relax in knowing that you're not too old. If anything; we older players are looked up to so it's good to be a older player in this community.
