Question
I have a few questions.  

1.  Im wondering if you can be to old to skateboard because im 14 and 15 in Sep, 16, 2006
2.  I am a little low on cash so is it ok to use a skateboard that is in a small sports store(and i mean really small).Its about 15$


Answer
You can never be too old to skate (well, unless you're 80). 14 and 15 is a good time to start.
You should get any board you can find to practice on, but beware because some of the cheap ones are unreliable, and you could hurt yourself. Save up and get a pro setup that'll last you a while.
Good luck!

Expertise

I have been skateboarding for around 7 years; I have extensive knowledge on street skating, including all sorts of flip tricks, tips on popping higher ollies, grinds, slides, rails, ledges, and park skating including transitions.

Experience

Before you email me asking "how do i kickflip??" you should practice it, what can I do, magically make you learn it? All I can do is give helpful tips, so try to ask serious questions, please. Also, I can and will not sponsor you, so don't bother asking.
