I get the back twinge every now and then... but then my work kinda takes its toll on the ol' spine anyways...
I don't stretch when I skate, but when I do have a session, the first 20 mins is just low impact cruising/no complys and whatnot with some tunes. Once you get the back sweat started, you are good to go!

Right on.
I'll look at those stretches.
Yeah, usually a mild session myself.
Have been getting more technical and using a three set lately though.
Got stamina back and always hydrate but lower back gets super tense now.
Hopefully stretching helps. Too early to quit!

most of the time i just roll around for several minute doing power slide, stall, messin around, no comply variation,
like ironz says, low impact is key until you're fully warm up

Huh.. Interesting video Pifachu.
Too bad skateboarding wasn't mentioned haha.
I guess snowboarding is kind of similar..
Feel like snow would be less stress on the back.
Could be wrong though.
I usually set out with a time frame and trick in mind.
Guess I'll have to try skating on the weekends when I have time to warmup instead.
I'm not Danny way haha.

he did jump the great wall without a warm up, hey hey
i like the part in the video that says too much flexibility get you hurt easier, too much stiffness is the same, guess you got to find a proper balance, maybe check if your standing stiff when landing, i use to get knee pain until i start crouching more when landing,
look at you skating, find the mistake and correct it ! voila

Also, I have watched every Mullen documentary out, and in atleast one of them (cant remember which) he talks alot about how he got injured and how he overcame it.
His approach to learning and trying things is to try and isolate a single body part that is throwing off the trick, and only concentrating on changing that one body part at a time until if feels right before moving on to the next body part if the trick still doesnt work / feels uncomfortable.
I was trying this recently with fakie (90 pivot) to 5.0 stall back to regular on QP, everytime I locked the truck in a would step off backwards, after watching on film I could see that it was my right shoulder (the one in front as I was fakie) was swinging too much so I couldnt stop its momentum. Pulled the shoulder in and it felt alot better, something I wouldn't of thought of trying without hearing his method...

Well, I Went back at it this morning.
I did feel some stiffness toward the end of my session.
Began slower than usual though and no back pain.
Started doing boneless to judo plants trying to get finger flips out haha.
It throws me into a slight manual so not sure how I'm landing.
Lot of boneless variations, taking them higher slowly.
Rodney has an awesome way of explaining skateboarding.
He should though, practically invented it.
I love interviews with skaters. There was a few with Richie Jackson I had never seen with "The Illusion."
Theorizing on aliens, work, relating everything to skating haha.
Pleasantly strange like his skating.
