Ankle braces

[Austin Forkner]

I was riding yesterday and twisted my ankle pretty bad. So I think Im going to start wearing some ankle braces. Has anyone ever wore some and are they good?

ive always had weak ankles, and early last year i twisted one so bad that i had to be in crutches for 2 weeks. every since then ive worn ankle braces literally every time i ride. i have some protec braces that i got from tactics skateshop. i'm on my second pair, since my last ones wore out.
i wouldnt be able to really ride without braces. they dont get in the way at all, at least for me. the most annoying them about them is having to put them on, since it takes a while, but its well worth it.

Ankle braces are must when going big for the camera. Mellow sess is a no though. The more you wear braces the more dependent your ankles become on them and actually become weaker without them. Same can be said for any kind of body brace. You want to ride as much as you can without them and only use them when you know you might really need it.

i always twist them doing stupid stuff. not even big drops or anything like that.
thats why i wear them every time i ride.
