Peanut:
I took my ride out for it's first session the other day, a six mile jaunt but man it felt weird, I felt weird, wobbly and unstable, I guess it was too much MTB it's tainted me.  I used to ride BMX every day back then and it's slowly coming back to me but as for tricks?  I'm officially useless, not that I was very good in my prime. I've found the only thing I can still do is sit facing backwards on the bars and ride the bike. Not a very cool stunt, and I can't see where the hell i'm going either. Did any of you guys find it a struggle get back into the groove? Any advice on what tricks I could start to practice to get me back in shape?

dordymush:
mate i know what your unabout.i've fell off more times than i can remember now.im still rubbish though.just take you time and it comes back slowly.bloody falls hurt a lot more now as well though  ;D.

RADHAB:
Damn right its hard and you've got the injuries to look forward to yet as well. Bunnyhops, 180's and wheel balances are all good to get going on, depends how brave you are!!

Rombloke:

19 year break, and come back riding.....still crap and had some of the worst injuries ive ever sustained.....but love it still...take things slowly, remember....slowly, slowly catchy monkey

Yes my man i know were your coming from too im still a bit wobbly and takes me half an hour everytime to get over this ???

Was better in the 80s me , i recently tried some cowboys and cant do them , also could do cherry pickers easy cant do them neither :-\ but im getting better and better all the time.

Sometimes if you get a bad fall it can knock you right back to the start as it's all about confidence nowadays.
