does scootering hurt anyones back?

[Krispy]

Recently each time after I ride my scooter my back muscles (lower) really hurt for the next few days. I think its due to being hunched right over. My bars are 22inch high but I am 6 ft tall. The bars do feel quite short but no one else seems to use/sell any higher. What I am asking is does anyone get a sore back after riding your scooter?

haha i used to get that feeling all the time but now i just think i have a hunch back lol. 21 high bars 6 foot 1

yer i used to have that problem, think my back has got used to it, but after a while or doing tech on a small mini-ramp at my local my back hurts, and im same as you perry bars and height =]

Edit: oh and you could try doing some back stretches before riding, and having good posture while not riding, keep getting told its good for ya

lol im 5'1" and i ride 21... cutting down to 20 tho

a tip is that if you can stand on the deck and touch your bars when your standing tall, you cant get any permanant damage but it still hurts like a bitch sometimes.

I'm 5'11 and I used to have that problem when I rode the stock A1 models. I think a combination of getting used to it and getting a PRO model made it cease.

But it used to make me literally SICK.

So yeah.
