Leave the wheelies to those with skills. It's not about age.
As someone under 50, but does not have the Skills to do wheelies, or manuals(I do want to lean) I agree...
There are many over 50 who have skills and can out ride me, be it flatland or ramps...
Maybe don't try showing off past your skill level, no matter your age.
If you do want to try stuff like this, I'd try a smaller audience till you get the skills.
