That's sweet, I've always thought about doing tricks that involve landing on the inside. Scary shit considering if you landed wrong, your ankle would be done.

how about rooted clipper?

agree with James...
i'll be afraid of doing such stuff...

Watched for several times. And every time got scared about my own.
May be i just have strong imagination, but. I'll think twice before doing this.

any way, that was good

you should name it "career-ender"

I've named about 5 tricks that already, but it's still a good name

EoghanMcDowell · Post by **EoghanMcDowell** » 08 Apr 2008 10:23

I was actually considering naming it broken set. Like Broken OP Swirl (have come close to that) But yeah, career-ender is a cool name.

Cool concept.

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 08 Apr 2008 15:54

I cringed the whole time.
That's so not good for you

I would never think of landing on my ankle!!! It may not hurt now........

After watching that youtube video of that skateboard kid breaking his ankle I feel like my skin is turning inside out. God, that's just fucking disgusting. As for the trick itself, I'd say it's an innovative concept, but definately not safe. The ankle can only take so much weight and pressure. I'd say more but I can't fucking get the image of that kid's broken ankle out of my head

I know a lot of people are concerned about me hurting myself from doing stuff like this, but i can assure you that i am being as cautious as possible. It really doesn't hurt at all, and i don't absorb all of the impact with my ankle, my knee is doing a lot of that, and yes, it's bending straight, not to the side. Now that would be bad.

Does nobody find Psilocybes a little inapproapriate

.
Well I guess it's just like those warning pictures on cigarette cartons.
For Eoghan, I find that set risky because that is no way a natural movement.

KronoKicker · Post by **KronoKicker** » 09 Apr 2008 04:05

i like it, but got to advise against... that just looks like its not going to end well.

i have hit rooted clipper and butterfly, but i'm not jumping nor landing directly with my ankle cranked. my foot is already planted and i slowly and carefully crank my ankle while its on the ground. i use my support leg to support nearly all my weight just like a normal clipper.

I don't find the other video inappropriate, because thats what will happen if he tries to jump to high, or if he lands too much to one side. That wasn't necessarily a hard or extremely high jump for a skateboarder, that poor kid just landed wrong... same thing could happen here.

I dunno. Maybe your ankles can take abuse like that. It's Unique. ...But maybe unique in the same sense that a bearded woman is unique.

People pay big money to go and look at bearded women sometimes...
