im 5.5 and i ride 19's u just need to stretch my friend dus back ups?!?!? he says it helps

My back used to hurt a bit after I would ride. I started doing back extensions and squats at the gym and they streangthened my back muscles so it doesnt hurt anymore. Whats wierd is that when I was learning 360's/360 indy's this spring my left shoulder would hurt. Possibly due to the spin?

sometimes. i usually forget about it after i ride for a bit though. and im 6'3" with 22' high bars.

such insightful responses

obviously the further you are hunched over, as well as the more time you spend in this type of position, will increase the risk for permanent back pain and injury, most likely from damage and swelling in between the discs of your (lower)back from stress

however what most riders experience would be soreness due to increased use of certain muscles that help stabilize the spine, this obviously usually goes away in time as their muscles strengthen to accommodate for the change in posture, I'm pretty sure there are at least two muscles in the abdominal region (which support the lower back) that can be strengthened with certain exercises if you are really concerned about it as an issue lol
