Bobby George, the former darts champ, says in his autobiography that the first time he played darts was as a fully grown man with a wife and kids, and that he was awesome right from the get-go. This is not the first champion origin story I've heard in which there is neither 10,000 hours of practice nor even any practice in one's formative years, when the brain is supposedly more plastic: Nigel Richards, the World Scrabble Champ, who also won the French Worlds despite not being able to speak French is another phenom who played his first game as a grown-up.

I guess the moral of the story is to keep trying one's hand at everything out there no matter how old one is.

There was a skater who appeared in the 2000s called Antwuan Dixon who was unbelievably smooth, even hopping down big flights of stairs. Just made it look effortless. He didn't seem to care at all either. He was always off his head, getting arrested, getting into fights, etc, but could just glide around on a board like it was nothing.
