I've recently experienced some ankle injuries in both my ankles although it was just from repetetive use and not a specific point of "this" is when i got hurt. I'm still able to do corkscrews, b-twists, and 540's but like Dogen says in his video. The landings scare me. I'm taking a break from tricking and wondering if i should wait til i heal to condition or if doing these exercises will strengthen them better and help me heal faster.

@Tracuers I suggest taking a break and condition your ankles.

If you feel that your ankles hurt kinda bad you shoud probably see the doctor but if thats not the case, just take a rest.

You'll you will gain more by resting & conditioning, take that step back and progress to steps more ;)

Do we always have to land on the balls of our feet? Like Anis does it.

[GoldVision]

@Chris9699 Anis lands on his toes resulting in his shins absorbing the impact. Because his shins are very strong his landing is soft. You can achieve the same ankle strength by doing these exercises. Ive neglected these exercises for a quite bit now. Ive started doing them again now for a week and ive already gained more height before i started.

great stuff. dogen really knows how to explain things.

btw, funny how I had noticed that being a girl (=wearing high heels once in a while) my feet and shins are stronger than the guys´ shins. using high heels is a bit like doing the shin raise in a sense. :-)

[GoldVision]

Actualy your calfs are stronger then, making you jump even higher ;-)

Wish I'd seen this before last night, blew out m ankle again. I always do it when stepping out of sideflips, I step left then right and then rotate on the right to link it, but as has happened numerous times, my right foot flipped under itself. I'm out for another 6 weeks. I'll be back watching this after that, cheers.

I accidentally clicked on this, and then I saw the title of the video and was like...YES. This is an awesome video, I need this.

I don't have time in my workouts to do the shin exercises so is it ok for me to do all the workouts in class, while (here comes the issue) sitting in a chair?

does it require standing up? because iv'e been doing it for about 2 month 10 times a week in school and sometimes i felt pain in my anckles while drumming, and theres barely a pressure on the muscles while doing so unlike tricking... so is it ok to do it while sitting?

Hey GoldVision can i ask you a question. I have lightly sprained my ankles several times now (maybe about four?)

Lightly meaning it has healed within a week and only very light swelling occured.

I am aware of the fact that this decreases your ankle stability. Will doing these exercises help me regain the stability so i dont roll over my ankles often?
