Can you teach old dogs new tricks?

I was pondering on this since started kitesurfing maily becuase to learn anything cool you have to take some risks.  See how many people ride their bike but so few kitesurf, motor bike or any extreme sport. To be successful in extreme sports you got be able to take risks.  Risk taking is not an exact science when it comes to sport.  Most of us grew up taking risks but never analysed it intellectually...for good or bad.  Once we older our cautiousness and analytical side get in the way of learning as we think more than we do. This is true of all our activities...jobs, relationships and travelling included. But mostly a big negative impact of learning when risk taking is a necessary and fun part of the activity.   Its your choice...live a life without fast food, drugs or anything considered risky or have an interesting life though shorter...
How do you apply this practically...start by asking a basic question everytime you are faced with a risky out of the Cfort zone situation.  Can I act now and think later...?
