After any trail I have some lower back pain, but I think that's to be expected.

I'm 41 and still rockin. The newer kids at the local skatepark kinda look at me like "wtf, are you lost or something?" but once you throw down they pretty much go back to whatever they were up to. I ride a street mountain bike so I assume I am a smidge more acceptable to the normies.
