I really think what we loose as we age is our confidence. If we think we can not do something we can't.
While not at the same level I did when I was younger; I still ski, climb, and try to master wheelies and track stands on my bikes. However, I usually quit trying to keep up with my wife on downhills when we get much above 40mph
I use my eyes a LOT, and I am still going in for cataract surgery in 2 weeks. I used it and I lost it. I am practically blind in my left eye, and have a small cataract growing in my right eye. I even use my right eye more now, and I am still losing it.
