WTF happend (ankle)

Post by delakong » 10 May 2005 09:53

I was outside, kickin on my smoke break, and I've been trying to get dada down. I go to try it again, for like the millionth time, and when I land my ankle and heel feel like they explode! It hurt so bad. I didn't land any harder than usual, I didn't land any different than usual (that I know of). The pain went away after a couple minutes, but for those couple minutes, it felt like little gnomes were in my heel/ankle, hitting it with flaming pickaxes. WTF happened?!?!?!?

you landed heel first from what it sounds like. you weren't able to propperly cusion the jump and your heel bone and ankle absorbed all the shock. you need to play on your toes toe best cusion your jumps.

How is the cushioning in your work shoes? If it's bad, a way you might protect your bones from that shock would be to get some nice cushiony insoles (maybe try gellin'?). Hope the pain doesn't come back. :(

Shitty cushioning in the shoes. I think Andrew is probably right. I probably did land flat flooted or more on the heel.

Yeah, I think I learned from the first time not to land like that again. :?
