Yay, Claire & I were doing some of this at the Gym yesterday after work. !!

My back killed after Hamburg, and LIM in fact. ! Skate Monkey !

I have heard a few people now that practice standing on one leg every day when brushing their teeth, it's all good practice. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

I think I agree - after my first street skate my back killed me for days - probably due to poor posture but also due to weakness. when am 100% i will try to do the leg wiggling exercise

When I skate, my back still hurts after a while. As Hans would say, there's no substitute for skating a lot. That's the best way to strengthen your back.

Having said that, lots of sit ups and back wiggles should make your skating more comfortable generally. ! Skate Monkey !

But then I have done more street skates!

I don't know, perhaps it ALL helps. I guess anything that exercises the lower back to help strengthen it is good.
