I am glad you are healing and taking your time w/ skating! I sprained my ankle really badly 5 years ago (nothing like your intensity of injury) and it took me 6 months to really be ok in like going out (heeled shoes) or going on long walks. It was wild how long it all took even w/ PT. yeah it is a process for sure...so take your time....protect that ankle...no rush
Thank you! Yeah any muscle or soft tissue damage can take forever to heal and that's what is making it so hard for me. I'm glad to hear that you healed up from your sprain! Those can take forever to properly heal. I'm definitely taking it slow and I hope I can be back to skating daily within the next year or so!
I made a similar comment in a past video suggesting rollerblading, and you mentioned it was something you were already planning. Just wondering if you had a chance to roll around in a pair. For me, blading is far more fun and safe outdoors and in skateparks. The boots can be super supportive and there are so many choices for aftermarket, heat-moldable liners to get that perfect custom fit. That said, I recently converted Riedell 220 ice skates into quads with Avenger plates. I might causally roll around outside, but I'll mostly be quad skating in rinks which is where I think they really shine. Apparently the same model boots for ice have slightly stiffer counters, which is fine by me because I was anxious about twisting my ankles. I have no idea how jam skaters do it on Godfathers with the top completely unlaced and rolled down. Nice to hear you're slowly on the mend. Thanks for sharing your recovery and insights. 💜
Yes I remember your comment! Sadly I haven't gotten a chance to buy a pair but I did try out a friend's one day and definitely plan on getting a pair myself here soon. They definitely felt like they would be better for the parks because of the amount of hard plastic. It's definitely my next investment. That's awesome to hear you got a pair of 220's! Those are excellent quad boots and should last a long time! Great choice for rink skating or even casual quad skating. Thank you! And thank you for watching! ☺️
Hey Moose, glad to see you’re taking care of yourself. Take your time, and do what feels comfortable to you. I do essential drills on the courts and skate on the street. I’m learning a lot (at 53!) just getting out there. I made playlists with my favorite channels and use those as tutorials. I still have my Parkstars for outdoor ankle support and a pair of Chaya Melrose skates with the Reactor Fuse plates. Recently ordered a pair of Chuffed skates, so I’m anxious to see how those feel outdoors too. Hang in there, and enjoy your new skates! 😉
Thank you Jeanine! I am for sure taking it slow and trying to build those muscles back up so I don't reinjure myself in any way. That's awesome to hear you are learning a lot! I have heard some great things about the Chuffed skates so I hope that you end up loving them. 😁 Can't wait to get out there on my new skates soon!
Hi Moose, hope you’re doing well with your ankle. Just some quick feedback on the Chuffed skates. I absolutely love and recommend them. Very comfortable boot, good support and easier for longer skate time. I did change the wheels and cushions for my trail rides. I’m getting another pair (boots only for a custom plate mount) to change up with.
@@jeaninejulian2596 Hi Jeanine! I'm doing okay. Been having some issues with stiffness and pain due to weather changes but it's getting better. I'm glad to hear that you love your Chuffed skates! I have been curious about those skates so it's great to hear that they are so comfortable. I would definitely try a pair if I got the chance! Thanks for the feedback on them!
(got here from your wheel dyeing video) Ankle injuries are the worst (because of the complexity of the joint). I had a hair fracture on my left ankle after high siding my motorcycle. By the time I took the moon-boot off I couldn't lift (flex) my toes from a neutral 90° ankle position due to atrophy. Yeah it's great that you're doing therapy also. Doing extreme sports is 100° a mental game. Just start skating for fun and give us an update.
Oh no! Sorry to hear about your injury, I hope you are doing better now. Next month is will be two years since the accident so I will be making an update as a lot has changed since then! I will also finally have more time to make videos by then. Skating is a lot of fun and I hope you are enjoying it!
@@wheelymoose awesome news, looking forward to some videos. Today I bought a second hand (unworn) pair of Chaya Karma Pros in Red at half price so yay, my first skates in 20 years. Getting some 65mm 78A wheels for them. 🤗

Thank you! I am trying my best. I am hoping I'll be able to skate more once the weather warms up here! ❤️ Winter has been hard on the ankle

@@cocobunitacobuni8738 That's awesome! Congrats on the new skates! I've heard great things about those ones so I hope you like them.
Please give us an update on how you are doing, hope all is well with you…
Hi! I will make an update video soon. I've been extremely busy between work and school but will work on an update video on my break!
what happened to the Jacks?
They were too narrow for my feet so I had to return them
