yes, but it feels so good to be back, that you care less about how good you are, no ? thats how i feel too.just like you i took a 5 year break and started to ride again 1 and a half year ago. it took me almost year just to feel at ease on my bike again, but after a while it gets easier.just like you i try not to push myself too hard, i know im not as strong as when i was 20 so....
well you can, Topsey. I also have a bad nerve in my left arm. What i had to do is 'ride around' this problem, wich means i had to focus on tricks that put less pressure on the left arm. I totally quit doing tricks holding the seat because i found out that it really hurt me more than doing tricks keeping both my hands on the bar. and i picked a bar with 13 degrees backsweep, helps too. We don't live in a perfect world so you have to found your own way around, and i'm sure you'll be riding at 40 Topsey
