After a 2 year hiatus from riding due to tearing my ACL on the same knee twice, yesterday (a year and a month after the 2nd surgery) I finally rode again and damn! It was fun!

You forget how much dirtbikes beat you up! I could barely get out of bed this morning. However after purchasing some Asterisks Ultra Cells which where great from the first ride (took 1 session to get used to them as the are fairly bulky) but by session 2 I didn't notice they were there,but because they are made from a placticy carbon type material I was struggling badly to grip the bike with my legs, they we're just slipping back and causing me arm pump as I had to hang on for dear life with my arms.

A few years ago i saw some sticky see-through rubber stuff with knobles on which were used on bikes plastics to help a riders leg grip to the bike. Just wondering if anyone knows what the stuff is called and where I can buy it (preferably UK but not essential) if there is any other alternatives to the stuff i'm thinking of i'd be glad to hear it! Thanks in advance!!

It's Stomgrip you are describing. Congrats on riding again, I had an ACL replacement two years as well, 100% flexibility, but it still gets sore. I don't think I will ever be the same.
