Tried to show my niece how to use a pogo stick last week and it was a disaster

Honestly, I found my old one from the 90s in my parents' garage and thought it would be a fun throwback. Tbh, I hadn't been on one since I was like ten, and I completely forgot how to balance. I managed about three bounces before I tipped over into their hydrangea bush. My niece just stood there and said, 'That looks really hard, Aunt Mila.' Has anyone else tried to relearn a totally silly skill from childhood?

Saw a video last week of a guy trying to relearn how to skip a stone. He threw like fifty rocks before one finally bounced. It's funny how the muscle memory just leaves.

Wasn't there a study about how long it takes to forget a physical skill? I swear I read something about it taking years for muscle memory to really fade.

Tried to rollerblade last year and it was a full body workout for the concrete.
