I can think of two:

Speaking multiple languages, and
Perfect pitch

Both are more easily learned at a young age. Are there others?

Riding a bicycle and/or skating. Helps enhance balance skills.

Strangely I learned to ride a bike at age 4 and a unicycle at age 17, but for some reason I can't skate to save my life 😂

Oh great point. I’d add skiing to that category.

I find 2x2 skates very difficult to balance in. in-line skates are actually easier.

I picked up skateboarding at 20. Surprisingly easy if you spend a little time falling over

Honestly the wheels were too loud and distracting for me. I got into BMX flatland, much quieter sport when practiced alone, I could focus..

oh I use a longboard with big fat wheels. Quiet. Mountain biking is even quieter and you get away from the city
