What were you good at when you were younger ?

General balance and control on a BMX. Could balance indefinitely without going forward just by adjusting tilt and using front brakes, stand on front tyre, ride it up 4/5 steps etc.

Some of it comes back to me now but it doesn't quite look as cool a 12 stone bloke on an old mountain bike.

I was a truly fantastic drummer, the best break I had was to have a formal training on the snare drum for 2 years between 11 and 13. Podemskis snare drum method is the bible.

Between 15 and 20 I was putting in 4 hours a day practice, then life got in the way. Don't have the full on wrist strength now and the older you get the slower you get. I'm still tulip hot though.

me....martial arts, in particular paper folding, a pink belt in origami, my ability to fold water bombs and fighter planes was notorius.

Later on train spotting, where even if I say so myself, I was particularly talented, able to spot rare locomotives at 400 yards.

Table tennis ! Was also half decent at footie but drugs, alcohol and dirty tarts put paid to that.

I used to be brilliant at sex, start to finish in a couple of minutes.

Now it takes me hours to reach the end point.

Pottery -as in throwing pots on a potters wheel.
I made some lovely stuff.

Alas nowadays, all locomotives are rare by their very nature. :

Masturbation. Sigh.

I think a few posters believe you have 'still got it!'

I used to be good at Rugby playing in the school team, but then got into Kayaking all because some women I fancied did it, and then started taking sport more competitively entering the Devizes to Westminster marathon a few times until injury stopped me in my tracks
