Lower back stiffness (16 M)

Hello everyone, I’m a 16 year old male and i’ve been experiencing some stiffness in my lower back.

I’ve dealt with pain and went to a PT to figure it out, turns out it was bc my hip flexors were tight. Eventually i stretched them out and got alot better but this past week i’ve noticed stiffness especially when rounding my back. It feels stiff and sore when i round my back, it doesn’t shoot to my legs or go anywhere else. It’s directly beside my spine and it switches from my left side or right side of my spine.

Also it’s not the same pain i’ve had before, this feels more of a soreness than a sharp pain like i had. When it was better was when i had work (i did flooring) and football workouts, so my guess was then i was moving and actively using my muscles now i haven’t been as much.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

need help with football cleats

Wondering what football cleats to get, playing RB/LB i’m 6’1 218 going into my JR year for reference
I have naturally wide feet as well, i’ve been looking at the Nike Alpha Menace 5 as people have said they are good for big skill players but I’ve seen some say they are narrow. Overall I’m just not sure what to get as i’ve only ever gotten Nike before. Any suggestions would be great.

Panama State Flamingos

believe it or not, but my first ever TB i’ve done across the 3 games. May not be the best but i’m in love with the colors! There is also plenty of jersey combos you could use.

What to get signed?

I’ve been going to my hometown track for a while, I have gotten autographs from drivers before on hats or some Nascar branded item you can buy at the track. But I want something more personal to the driver, I know diecast but I don’t wanna buy a diecast for all the drivers i want (Plus Hocevar diecast are all sold out). I was thinking maybe printing pictures and framing them, but i wanted to hear other suggestions.

Rookie season at JRM complete

My rookie season and JRM 2nd full time season (2026) is now complete and we made a huge improvement. Last season (2025) JRM finished 26th in the points with Justin Allagier, and now with myself we made the Round of 12 and finished 15th!

Denny Hamlin won his first career championship this past season with a 6 wins. Kyle Larson, William Byron, Christopher bell were the other 3 in The Final Four

Josh Berry is out at Wood Brothers and replacing him will be 2025 Xfinity champ Jesse Love, Love is coming off an impressive 3 win season where he finished 2nd in the points to Justin Allagier. As for Berry he will be returning to JRM to pilot the No. 88 car.

(Daniel Suarez is in the 7, Zilisch is in the 99 btw)

2027 silly season however, is expected to be much more silly. Rumors continue to swirl of Denny Hamlin’s retirement and well as Alex Bowman, Noah Gragson, Riley Herbst, Cole Custer, Ty Dillon, and John Hunter Nemechek all potentially being replaced after 2027. 23XI and Joe Gibbs will be the most intriguing to watch, if Denny retires some say Corey Heim will go there but others say Tyler Reddick could move to the No. 11 and Heim into the No. 45.

Nascar 25 career mode schemes for my rookie year

In my career, I made my own storyline that JRM moved to cup and I was signed to drive the No. 15 car. Valvoline has been my primary sponsor since Arca as well. Adidas, Beats by Dre, and Robinhood are my other primary sponsors. Mastercard, Xbox, Delta, and Target are a few of my secondary sponsors. Let me know what you think!

My tribute to KB

pictured is my favorite 1/64 scale Kyle Busch diecast i own, each has a fun story that means something to me. I never was the biggest KB fan but man did he have some amazing schemes. I’ll list below the story to each diecast.

No. 8 Cheddars- Cheddars is one of my favorite restaurants, I love their honey butter biscuits and I’m a basic guy I always get the Kyle Busch meal of chicken tenders and fries

No.8 Lucas Oil- My favorite diecast simply because it has my name all over the car!

No.18 M&Ms Caramel- This is one of my favorite schemes of all time, I remember searching for this hard when i was younger then finally found it at some random gas station. I believe that car is his 2017 Pocono win as well

No.18 M&Ms Halloween- I remember seeing this in person at a Kansas fall race and remembered loving the scheme in person so I had to buy it

No.18 Interstate Batteries- I remember loving this scheme when it came out and was so happy to see that Interstate Batteries was moving on from the zebra stripe car

No.18 M&Ms- This is just Kyle Busch, we all think of a version of his classic M&Ms car as him. this scheme embodied KB to me

No.18 Skittles- This gives caramel a run, I love this scheme so much it’s one of my favorites I own.

No.18 Skittles race win- just beautiful car, the confetti, damage, finish we had. This race was awesome live so when i seen it in stores i had to get it and glad i did it’s probably my favorite race win diecast i own

No.18 Skittles Zombie- this car just makes me think of his 2020 Texas win, remember when the defending champ didn’t have a win up until like the 3rd to last race of the year?! This was so shocking at the time seeing this and this car while not the race version still feels like it

This is my tribute to KB, i hope everyone finds a way to tribute him. Rest easy, we love you!

solid pickup today at target!

Been searching for this wave for a while, picked up the willy b throwback as well but not pictured here, they unfortunately didn’t have the Larson throwback. Question, does anyone else have a hard time finding diecast? my 3 local Walmart’s haven’t restocked in months, only have the Dudley car nobody wants. Target has been my saving grace as they restock somewhat often.
