Finally some actual information and tips. Been skating for 12 years and I’ve rolled my right ankle on numerous occasions. Last couple of years I started to notice while skating hip or on transition that I progressively felt a burning pain in my dorsiflexion area. Specifically when I hyper flex my foot. It got to a point where it burned so much i couldn’t really put weight on that leg. Even after weeks of recovery that pain is still there. I had a couple of months where it subsided all together and had my ankle strength back, but it’s come back again. Im going to take up these workouts and see what it’ll do.
Damn! I hope this helps! Load up that ankle! Only way it’s going to get more stable. Split squats, skater squats, single leg RDLs, tib raises, etc. Singe leg exercises with load, and active mobility is key 🔑 👊
This video is dope. You can tell you are equal parts fascinated with the subject matter and interested in making it "click" for others. Just wanted to let you know that you did a great job translating the information.
Wow, this video is so underrated and helpful!! I literally just got into skateboarding and I was wondering why I got so sore while balancing. Thanks for making this!
really good information!! i’ve been dealing the last couple of months with something like anterior ankle impingement (hot pocket) and im trying to learn as much as i can for healing it. Definitely it is a hard injury and it comes back so easily. Greetings from Spain, one more subscriber!
I had two injures in my ankle, one at 2015 and other at 2019, I don't had any idea about de dorsiflexion until I did the 5 inches test and investigate about it. Thanks for this specific video to skate! Really amazing I send you a big shout out from Argentina man, sorry for my english jaja
@@TonyHawkUndergorund2 I would suggest doing the "ankle rocker" and "deep squat with side lean" 5-6x per week. And the "split squat" maybe 2-3x per week
Thanks for this. I found it really uncomfortable to initiate a kickflip and I land ollies very awkwardly. I’m gonna try some of these things and see if it works out. I completely failed the wall test.
please help me!!! I need to gain superior ankle dorsiflexion i have mediocre ankles but they have been flaring up recently and i am not sure why, sometimes i do exercises and it makes it feel worse, I skate 3 -5 hours every day and cannot find the time in my routine to strengthen my anles while still skating as much. should I ice my ankles when they feel sore after skating? I have heard people say that icing after excersize prevents you from getting stronger.
Look up these exercises, just do them when you can. A little of something is better than nothing. Tibialis Raises: 3 sets 20-30 reps Calf Raises: 3 sets 10-20 reps Single Leg Isometric Holds: 1-3 mins Be sure to stretch after you skate and workout too. Most importantly stretch your calves and quads. Look up the standing calf stretch and the couch stretch. Ice for pain relief but not soreness. Drink lots of water, eat well, and get good sleep to promote good recovery.
Sorry to hear! Try resting for a day or two then maybe add in some anterior ankle stretches. Such as child’s pose, or some manual plantar flexion stretches. Those should help take off some pressure 👊
@@SkateAthletics thank you so much! It's definitely a dorsiflexion issue, I just don't know what exactly. It's just to the top front of the inside ankle area, just tucked beside it to the front. My laymen mind says the tibialis anterior So I suppose those excersises are spot on? You did say anterior
Yeah, could potentially be an “over stressed”/“overly tight” tibialis anterior as it inserts basically just below the inside of your ankle and runs across the front (kinda where your laces would be). Try foam rolling your anterior tib as well, along the entire muscle, and definitely do some plantar flexion stretches to hopefully help with the pain. Also roll out the bottom of your foot (ideally with a lacrosse ball) as there are so many muscles that run near the anterior tib insertion point. I’m surprised calf raises caused some pain. Strong feet and calves should help. Also, Potentially your ankle is taking the majority of the stress, so when you aren’t in pain, some tib raises may actually help build some strength throughout the entire muscle and take some stress of the ankle. Hope it helps!!
@@SkateAthletics I have also been stressing nollie improvements the past month or so, like heavy. I think I just had the ankle so sensitive from over working it, then came down heavy from a nollie, with a bent front leg pushing its dorsiflexion. My calf raises were also too much, I think. I was pushing like 3 - 5minute calf raising sessions, with some one legged in there, and on a stairs edge. I also started doing about 15minutes every day of board balancing in nose/manual, with the board atop a yoga mat. Was great exercise, but definitely tiring on the shin and ankle area Definitely think I've over done it. All sounds plausible no? Any other bit of advice, my friend? Thank you so much for the help already It's still a bit sore but then again I wasn't 100% off of it, over the past couple weeks that it's been present. In fact, I came down from a handstand weirdly flexed and probably made it worse. Hoping it's just as youve already said, and not the symptoms of something more serious

Thank you brotha!! I really appreciate it! I hope this video helps! More to come! :)
This is great... I spend a lot of time sitting or resting in a deep squat throughout the day... this is what is key for me
For sure! Love sitting in the deep squat. Thanks for watching! 👊
underrated channel, you need more exposure.
thank you!!
very useful info, thanks mate
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for making these videos!
Thank you for watching 😎
Great video will this help with strengthening after a sprain and help to prevent sprains in the future?
Thank you!! Injuries are never fully preventable but these will definitely help! 💪👊

@@SkateAthletics yes yes, only a question. Is beneficial do this exercise everyday? Or How many times at week?
@@TonyHawkUndergorund2 I would suggest doing the "ankle rocker" and "deep squat with side lean" 5-6x per week. And the "split squat" maybe 2-3x per week
@@SkateAthletics okey! Really thanks man 🙏
@@TonyHawkUndergorund2 no worries dude!
Great video, I hope to see your channel grow
Thank you!! 🙌

I completely failed the wall test.
Anytime! I’m sure the improvements will help! 💪
Yes! So bummed at my grammatical errors though. This is perfect man. Shout out to you for putting in the work. Still love the Nyjahs as well. #BSA
😂sorry to put you on blast, no one spell check insta anyways lol

i think i over did calf raises and then skating.. got some pain in my right foot, near the top inside ankle/shoelace area, when i try to bend upwards

I landed funny on the board and now it "burns" when i do the dorsiflexion
Prob an ankle impingement. Rehab depends on the severity. In short, mobilize the ankle joint, stretches the surrounding muscles, strengthen your tibs.
does anyone know what shoes he's wearing?
Nyjah 2.0’s 🙌
Oh shit I didn't realize tuck knee was bad
Not the biggest deal while skating transition but definitely not great while taking impact
i would like the video but its at 69 likes i aint ruining it
😂can’t argue with that
