Does anyone wear an ankle brace while they skate?

I usually don't but I should. When the pain gets really bad I have a few ankle brace type things that my girl has bought at the drug store. I may have to look into the Pro Socks you mentioned A.J.
When I was five me and a moving car had an altercation. The car won. Tendons, skin, bones all trashed. Doesn't help that I was re injured a while back cruising around town and another car decided to run me over. I'm goofy so the whole left foot busted thing really sucks for any distance.

I didn't realize this thread was still alive.
I've just been taking it easy on my ankle, but yesterday my friend and I did a 12 mile ride and I woke up today and had no ankle pain

well, except from practicing apple juices and landing on my wheel and it hitting the corner on my board.
I think I'll be okay with just doing stretches.

MikeNike605 is right. The TriLok is definetely a good choice. I like it because it fits in my shoe, is super comfortable, and I don't have to worry about twisting my ankle or favoring the other too much. I think you can buy them online at trilokanklebrace.com but you might be able to get a prescription for one through your doctor so that you don't have to pay much out of pocket. Good luck!

I had this same thing happen when I started 3 months ago.
Slowly as I let it heal for a day or so after I ride hard (like 3+ hours)
Its getting better I dont think THe muscles used for pushing were
used as hard as I was making them go since I never boarded before
longboarding..

I have been using a S-one stabilizer brace for a few years now and it has saved me a huge amount of pain...

I bought a S-One stabilizer brace and its alot more comfortable than my 661 race brace pros. I mix up which ones I use depending on the type of session.
