^ it has been a month or so since i last rode because of classes and work... and now I've been getting head aches every time i get on the bike. I wanted to ask if any of you guys know how to resolve this annoying problem or just suck it up and ride through it... thoughts?

That's really odd. You'd think you'd get a headache while off the bike because of BMX withdrawals but I guess not.
My advice to you is just to ride through it when you can and take meds when you can't.
I've heard that drinking Gatorade helps a lot with headaches because of the amount of electrolytes or something like that so I would try that.

Take some medicine before you ride.
I tend to get headaches if I DON'T ride haha. But sometimes I end up not riding till later, get a slight headache, take some medicine before I go out, and it usually resolves itself.

Probably need more sleep and less stress
Eat better and drink more water, try to stay away from meds
I ride to stay on two wheels and have fun!

I used to always get headaches after, and when riding. Frink lots of water, not a lot of salty foods, and keep hydrated when riding.

Try drinking coffee before riding.

It happens when you take a lot of time off riding. I took like a 2 month break from really riding other than just cruising and now that I've been going to skateparks and trails for the past week I haven't gotten a headache. Nothing you can really do other than ride a shit ton and drink as much water as possible. In the future try to at least cruise around every week or two, that seems to help.
