I've had the back troubles too. Probably because of weak flabby core as well. If you ever see a great downhill track with bulldazer tracks- avoid it like the plague. I followed one downhill for 5/6 minutes bouncing the whole way. I think its the rapid bouncing that did me in. Back hurt for weeks.
Least fun mountain biking: Tired, totally zonked, loading up bike on rack after a couple hours of riding, stepped against exhaust pipe on my truck and burned a "0" into my shin. Nothing like a great burn. Its like the battery bunny - keeps burning and burning........................
Most fun mb-ing: 3rd time on my first decent bike, did an endo and did a beautiful helmet plant. Got to buy myself new bars and I was hooked.
astrahl is right on the mark. If you can't take a little pain- mountain biking is not going to work.
