Is it too late for me to start learning how to skateboard? I'm 16 and a girl?

i have no skateboard shoes, and the board i have is kinda sturdy, but the wood's coming off the ends. I can ride it pretty good, but tricks-wise, an ollie is kinda hard for me. i think i go the bottom end like 1/5 inches off the ground. it looks so easy though. i have a "multi-sport BMX helmet". what else do i need and is their hope for me?
