What are some easy ones to start with? The only rolling trick I can kind of do is a side glide. And scuffing, I can do a backyard but its not solid and I can't ride into it. And I can do good squeakers.

My tricks are ALL pre 86!

frontyard,funky chicken,elbow glide,hang 5,foward & backwards peg whellie

I'd just watch some old videos on youtube and you'll see all kinds of things to do.

Oh yeah backwards wheelie, I can do that one too! I know most of the tricks by name, I was just hoping that I could hear from some of you who can do them, and would therefore know from experience which ones are easier to master and would be good "starter" tricks.

the ones I listed are good 'starter' tricks but seriously check out some pre 90 videos there's plenty of tricks to keep you busy for a few years

If you can handle the Elbowglide then i'd say the Steamroller shouldn't be too hard for you either. Do you roll forward or backwards in the Elbowglide? You can always learn to do them both directions, that'll help you on many other tricks too.
Another easy one is the plain old Fork wheelie, it's like a steamroller but with both hands on the handlebars, one foot on the peg.

Search the YouTube for "101 Freestyle Tricks", there's plenty of basic rolls and scuffs in it.

As for the Hang five, that's pretty tough one to start with in my opinion if you haven't much rolling tricks. It can easily take months to master. Ofcourse these days though, Hang five is a basic trick kids learn first thing they get a bike, lol! But i remember it took me a winter to learn it and the beginning wasn't easy. Lifting the rear end up and keeping it there whilie maintaining rolling speed was very tricky.

Here's a Fork wheelie.

Fork wheelie was the first basic trick I learned, and I was hooked after that. Forwards and backwards, with the slide out and in to work on linking tricks. Even today, I use this trick to 'warm up'. The other stuff will come with added confidence.

Good for you for wanting to learn something outside your trick list comfort zone, Wes. I say to set your ultimate goal at a Steamroller into Funky Chicken link. Learn each one by itself, then combine later. The Chicken is a pretty basic scuffing move with a lot of ins and outs and variations you can later play around with. Very little penalty for failure, injury-wise. It's the kind of trick that you can easily "walk" into to get the scuffing down before, or during, learning a basic ride-in.
Steam rollers are really a fundamental forward rolling trick. Also extremely versatile after you get them, with a decent "safe" factor while learning. You can easily touch the ground as often as necessary until you gain familiarity and comfort with it.
It is true that you can play around with coasting front wheel tricks like fork wheelies and side glides and squeakers and elbow glides, but I think it's a whole different ballgame than rolling forward. That's just me.
Rad Dad 67 is about your age. He got back into riding four or five years ago, and I don't think he had as much skill as you do, presently. He's kept us up to date on his progress and he's now pulling decades and hang-5s and even hitchikers! It CAN be done.
Good luck.

Thanks Josh! That is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for! I won't be starting until summer, my shoulder is scheduled for surgery here soon for rotator cuff issues and I will be recovering for several months. But I am gonna ride this summer! I hope to meet some of you guys!

Learn a frontyard first.

If you screw up, you won't dump and get tangled up in the bike. Worst thing that'll happen is the back wheel will touch down. You can get pretty tangled up doing a stick b, funky chicken, or backyard if the bike falls and you land on top of it and everything's flopping around.

Put one foot on front peg, your other leg (with your scuffing foot) goes over the bars and onto the front tire. Start scuffing and maybe lift the back end a tad by leaning your peg leg against the bars.

First learn to ride a bit with one foot on the front peg and your other leg dangling over the handle bars. With your crotch right over the handlebar crossbar. Learn to steer around and stuff while in that position. Then start scuffing. Do short kicks forward while dragging your shoe sole back on the tire.

After you get it, you can try one handed, no handed, in circles, etc. When going in circles, try to ease the back end to swing around and then grab the seat so the rear of the bike is in front of you. Lift your scuff foot over the top tube so it's between your legs, and get back to scuffing quick.

Then you just did a front yard to funky chicken. Rad dude!

Yep, the frontyard is super easy to pick up quick!

Even I can do one........

Yeah, front yards are pretty easy. I think freak squeaks might even be easier (than having your knee in the bars/stem area); where you do a barhop with the bars crossed, take off right hand and scuff with right foot while you lift the back tire off the ground.

I think I've got a really easy suggestion for one's first scuffing trick. I don't even know what it's called, but here it is:
You do a forkstand. Body and bars in a side-glide position, both tires on the ground. Left hand on grip, right hand hold grip-end and seat. Left foot on left front peg, right foot kicking tire so the front end of the bike is going in circles.
Here's the scuffing part: Just take that right kicking leg of yours and put it over the crossbar to the tire. Using your right hand to keep the bars and seat in line, remove your left hand for balance as soon as your right foot makes contact with the front tire and start to scuff. I think that's as simple as scuffing tricks get, because both tires are on the ground. It'll just get you familiar with the kick/drag foot motion that is scuffing.
