I was riding one day and did a double tailwhip flat, then, when i landed it my heels started to hurt a lot, now i can hardly ride, only walk

I honestly never get heelbruise, I honestly have no idea why. I got it a lot pretty much right up until last fall, idk, I guess I land properly now.

Honestly, I say honestly too much...

You know whats funny? I post in this thread, saying I never get it. I was outside, did a backflip 360 off a swing, overspun the backflip a bit, landed right on my heels. And I have really bad heelbruise. LOL

I used to get it all the time and could barely walk so I went to big 5 and bought some heel cushions. You put them in your shoes and they are a jell material. It works really well cuz I haven't gotten heel bruise forever

I've got custom formed foam(?) orthotics, mainly for my flat feet, but I haven't had bad heelbruise since using them. I suggest athletic inserts or something along those lines.

it happens when you hit your heels and bruise them =P

easier to do when riding street because there arent as flowy of landings, transitions, etc.

hence why lots of people get skate shoes with extra heel cusion, add an insole or two, etc.

try not to land on your heels!

Just try to let it heal. Every time I get bad heel cruise I just cruise tranny for a few weeks before going back to the streets. I also rub tiger balm all over it. It happens to met on average like 2 times a year but it can take a while to heal. Right now is actually the first time in like 6 months I can jump down things without my heel feeling like it will explode.
