I've been dealing with incapacitating back pain from riding since I was 18. Sometimes it lasts for up to a week. It's super frustrating as well as depressing to get perpetually laid up doing the thing you love when you're not even eating shit and just doing your normal stuff.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
