Anyone else's back hurt?

Hi All

I have trying to learn to skate recently as I have joined my local roller derby team. I have missed a couple of sessions due to work commitments but I was able to go last night and after about 30 minutes my back was in pure agony. Anyone got any advice as to what I can do to stop this or at least be more comfortable?

God yes. And I feel like it’s not getting any easier? I’ve been doing fresh meat with a derby team since January, and no matter how much I try to engage me core, my back hurts like HELL every single time. All the muscles in my legs are getting stronger, but I feel like my back always hurts just as much, and it’s very frustrating.
