So i went riding today Thanksgiving at the Local Spot (Brooklyn Banks) to practice on some simple this...

After i get home i realized i tweaked my back bad.. WTF....

This happened last time i rode my DJ bike a few weeks back. What could i be doing wrong?

I have had lots of problems with my back in the past directly related to riding. but I seem to get it under control now. Do you have a strong core? That prevents a lot of back injuries right off the bat. Also sometimes my back gets stiff and tweaked out if I ride for a long time or i'm doing something weird on the the bike and what helps that is cracking it and taking the pressure off. If you have a friend or someone lay down on the grownd and have them push on your spine and you should get quite a bit of cracks.

first of all, you MUST stretch before you ride.
then another way to hurt your back is yanking on the bars.
a huge mistake alot of people do is pull up on the bars instead of leaning way back and pulling back, then when you tuck u push forward.
u shouldnt be yanking up with your arms and back at all, unless u're hoppin over hand rails and jersey barriers.

get better bro

I htink i need to make my core stronger... more sit ups and working out for me... Yo Vas, we meeting up @ Owls Head tomorrow?

Try stretching your hamstrings before riding. Sometimes they get tight from riding with a low seat and then they pull on your pelvis making the base of your spine be a little off. I have to stretch my hamstrings before I ride or else I have to take a couple of days off after I ride. Good luck.
