Not really an injury but...

Does anyone get pains in there backs from riding there scooter for too long? I get that problem alot and it's very annoying. It's the reason I wouldnt ride low bars for a good year but I still got them. !grr

i can always crack my back at random times now, and after even a little bit of riding my back hurts, but i don't notice it much because scoots are fun.

Same here, it's really noticeable when you're riding the same street section you ride every day that you're getting sick of, after a while you just start to notice it more and more. Mostly because your bored and you wanna ride something new, so it's more noticeable with your mind off the adrenaline.
 
You probably have your bars too low which is bad.When they are too low , you ride hunched back and thats quite bad. Try taking breaks after riding a little bit and sit straight.

My bars come just below my pelvis that's normally where I see most pros with there bars, even before my bars were that low I had them just below my waist (about 11 inches from the clamp) I still had that problem.

thats why you dont ride around with your bars low for a long time..i rarely ever get back pains because i might go for a trick or two then i stand up, so im only bent over for like 30 seconds at a time..

I got myself banned.
If you think cracking your back is bad for you, its not really. As long as you don't do some crazy over stretching when you do it theres nothing wrong with it. I don't really get back pain but i get a sore neck sometimes. I crack almost every joint in my body all the time haha... back, neck, fingers (all 3 times except thumbs), toes, knees, ankles, sholders and wrists. Feels so good

Thats what i do too. But my back has been getting better because i've raised my bars an inch or two.
