I ride long time ago but I cant learn anything new. I can bunny hop, manual, footjam tailwhip(almost) and flat barspin. I've tried 180 but they are still sketchy. Do you have any suggestions on new tricks to start learning.. something basic?

Get those dialed. 180s. Hop no footers, no handers, crankflips, learn some flatland, manual, nose wheelie, hang 5, the list goes on.

This.
I strongly second getting the tricks you can do now dialed. When you can do a trick well, it feels sooo good. I also think it helps give you more control over that trick, and more bike control in general.
Don't let yourself be limited by beginner tricks too. I know of a few beginner riders who can already do more intermediate level tricks just because they try. So try whatever you want, try tailwhips, try 180 barspins, tables, turndowns, the list goes on.

Get those 180s dialed, 360s, tire grabs 540 taps, full cabs and try and get your manuals really controlled so you can bar out or 180 out.

try learning your 180s on a banked surface... it might make it easier and less sketchy to you.
and like others were saying, dial down what you got
maybe toss on some pegs and learn some basic grinds
