Re: Rolled ankles?

I used to all the time back when I skateboarded. Now I very rarely do
it. I did it yesterday pretty badly though, except as it rolled it hit
a stair and bent back the other way. It made for a not so fun ride home
🙁

Yeah I've done it a couple of times. As it's been mentions, usually when
I bail from a trick and I can't get my footing. My problem as of late
has been either landing on the cranks really hard from spins or flips,
which has caused my foot to swell or hitting my ankle on the same bit
of the cranks which has caused my ankle to swell and bruise. Anyone
else have this problem? I think it might have something to do with the
shape of the Onza cranks.

Five-Ten High Impact shoes. they rock.

http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/Shoes/product_126235.shtml

Yeah it's a MTB link but who cares -- they work fantastic on the pinned
pedals I have on my Uni's. Stick like glue, light-weight, not too hot,
great one-sided tongue that won't go lopsided.

Ankle protection seems pretty good, but I confess I haven't really had
to put that to the test.

I did manage to whack my achilles tendon pretty badly on a pedal, and
those shoes gave great protection, and I was uninjured.

I use T1 Active Ankles, they're actually hinged... google will prolly
find them easily. I paid $40 apiece for mine, but after I injured both
my ankles last year it had gotten to the point where I was rolling them
daily when I wasn't riding! I started wearing these for riding/hiking,
and they've really allowed my ankles to heal.

Only problem I've had with mine is that my 661's don't velcro easily
over them :P

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
remain.

we did these stretches in running where you walk on certain parts of the
foot to strengthen the ankle, I can't find info or pictures on line but
this is what it's like in no particular order:
walk on the side of the foot
walk on the heel of the foot
walk on the toes of the foot
walk on the inside of the foot
if you do those for a set distance everyday you can build up ankle
strength.

rolled mine bad. so bad i heard an audible popping sound. swelled like a
balloon. the thing is, is i had already dismounted, and started walking
a couple steps, i didnt even do it near or on the uni. that was like a
month ago, now everytime i think it is getting better, i roll it.
rolled it like three more times after the initial one, except they all
happen while walking at work... edsbelly: that vid is nasty...

I have rolled my ankle badly a few times. Once playing disc golf. I
was throwing on a hill and i transfered my weight on my foot that was
lower on the hill and i rolled it and i heard a CRACK! The other time
was practicing unispins. I was coming down on the pedals and my foot
clipped the pedal and i laned on the side of my foot. ARG! it hurt.
