bruised heels

[offthewallsk8er]

hey...i was just wondering if bruised heels are the kinda blue shades u get around the bottom of your shoe around the edges? and if so, whats so bad about em? i have them, and they dont really effect me that much, or any at all

[snakeyes17]

uh are you talking about 'blue shades' on your actually foot or shoe?

[tryhard_skater]

no mate. thats just discoloration on your shoe. a bruised heel is when you land with weight over your heels off a drop and your actual heels of your feet get bruised and it hurts to walk and stuff. happened to my friend trying to ollie off a head height loading dock yesterday.

[offthewallsk8er]

oooo, man i got confused on that...thanks guys...yea all i have are "discolored" shades of blue under my foot....

[AlmostJeff]

Bruised heels are the worst....except for maybe bruised tail bones...and broken bones or just about anything that keeps you away from skating for more than a week.

[BakerStencil]

You can say that again.

You just said that man!

[just_skate_]

deja vu........i bruised my right heel trying the ten stair. bailed and landed on one foot. i still skated though. it wasnt badly bruised. just hurt to step on anything like a small rock or something that pushed into my heel

[AlmostJeff]

I said that because baker said "you can say that again" I was trying to make a funny but yet again no one gets Jeff's humor....

^^ Don't worry, I chuckled.

Thats Right!

[just_skate_]

oh. God. im a retard, i didnt even notice that

[PopwarPunk]

No worries Jeff, I gotcha.

[Converge_es]

Jesus how did you confuse that with shoes. Shoes dont get bruised, if you bruise your heels of your foot, expect back pain for a few days.

[AlmostJeff]

Thanks popwar punk and fae for getting my humor.

I bruised my heel like 2 months ago and i still feel it on big drops and stairs.

[snakeyes17]

hah good one Mr. Jeff.
I bruised my heels this week and my toes got blisters.
I can't wait til I get new shoes.

[MidgetMessiah]

i bruised my heels 2 days ago it sucked

[offthewallsk8er]

Simmer down converge_es, ive only been skatin fer a couple months and im trying hard to learn what i can. i thought this cause it was on the heel of my shoe, and it was the exact shade of a nasty bruise ud get on your leg from bailing...i didnt know if it was like a figure of speech er something like that would effect the shoe itself cause u know how a bruise is bad and a "bruise" on a shoe, might be bad too. so i was just asking....dont get excited and wet your pants over the matter.

bruised my heels ages ago on a big 6, gonna get them new és that have the specail 'anti heel bruising tech' aka gel pads or summut

[snakeyes17]

I just ordered some eS Accel Plus Today.
I hope they help with my heels and such.

[ZachMetallica]

God damn, i bruised my heals last summer it ****ing killed...

[DarkHawk2-2]

haha, im bringing back this thread just to say that im suffering from heel bruises on both feet at the moment. *sigh*

[Blind Sheppard]

I have mine on my right foot from jumping down a roll in to avoid flattening a blader, you think it's gone but a little thing brings it back, i will have days when i can't skate due to landing stupidly.

[evilcheese00]

I've had one on my left ankle for about 3 months now.. The smallest thigs sets it off. Shit sucks.

[baker_etnies]

ive have never had bruised heels before, bruise just about everything else though, it blows

System G2, you mean?

[DarkHawk2-2]

system g2 works for a little while then they just dont work.. i got my heel bruises even while skating some system g2 accel plusses. AND the artos. left foot was from artos, right from accel +'s.

Classic. I was laughing out loud (literally).

[spenser]

i dont get them often, but once, not long ago, i was skating a ledge, stuck, then stepped back off the board and landed directly over my heel kind of hard. it hurt and did that jumpy runny thing where you go in circles laughing and acting like its really bad.

[spenser]

system g2 works for a little while then they just dont work..
yeah.

but its ok for pros because they dont have shoes for long.

[CoffinGrinder]

I have a tendency to roll my ankles...

[GrizzledJASPER]

i messed up tryin to 50 50 this bench yesterday and ended up bruising the ball of my foot. so the ball of my right foot is blue and theres a blue ring around my big toe. kinda sucks.

Board Abuser got some Ellingtons with that heel tech stuff and the heels colapsed after 2 weeks.

[STR8 RIPPIN']

i have never got bruised heels. i never really though that you could bruise your heels.

[offthewallsk8er]

now that ive been skating for way longer (in reality only about 3 months longer) i too have begun to have badly bruised heels from sets and what not. this was an attempted f/s 180 over a six, but right about when my mate took the picture, i decided it wasnt doable, so i dragged my foot so i could guide the nose and board back to being straight and so i could land without bailing. next attempt, i really tryed hard, landed about at about 120 degrees maybe 40 degrees short from a safe landing...i landed on my heel and i have an actual bruised heel...yey :-37: ..heres the link
