Brian Bleech Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Hi Everybody, I fell off yesterday (woohoo go me) and landed oddly on a slope and my ankle is hurting (I am such a puss (Y) )! My ankle is fine when walking and most riding, but when I jump (well the landing) it hurts a fair bit and I just want something that will give a bit more support. So whats good? Best if I can buy something at a highstreet sports store, because I will want it for riding tomorrow (Y) Ta Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are normally made of a stretchy neoprene type material and do work well. The best thing to do is rest it, but if you have to ride (like i did) then get a support. If it continues to hurt though after a week go to the hospital or GP and see what they think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonPace Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 if you get a 661 ankle support they are amazing. you'll never twist you ankle again wearing one of those. Can get em from chainreaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mehukatti Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 i have 661 ankle support (the soft cloth type) and it's great. it doesn't restrict your riding but provides nice support. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
