Suffering pain in the lower back?
Pain in the lower back usually occurs for three reasons: 1) your muscles are inadequately developed for your riding desires 2) your bike’s geometry isn’t suited to your body 3) you’re using wrong backhop/pedalkick stance Reason #1 When you just learn certain backwheel moves, especially backhopping and pedalkick (lurch), you will suddently start intensely using muscles you most probably have never used before. They will get sore and hurt a lot. Easiest solution is to keep practicing with less intensity until they develop. With every day riding this usually takes from 1 to 3 weeks, depending on your ovarall condition. The pain itself should clearly come from muscles and not from your spine. Reason #2 If, after muscles stopped aching, your lower back still hurts, but this time mostly bones (your spine), it is very likely your bike (stem, frame, bars) aren’t adapted to your body. Usually, the stem will turn out to be too short or with too much rise. For more, read about stem issues in this
