My right knee and right ankle continuously bother me very likely due to earlier injuries. I'm also pushing 40, which doesn't help.

Hey, I don't always have that under me - - sometimes I'm on 6"; and sometimes I'm battling the other Wed. night one-lappers on one of those skinny-tired abominations .

It happens, it's not stopping me from riding though, since I'm noticing most of the pain when riding the mtb with clipless, I put the platforms back on and it was a lot less painful. On the road with the clipless it really didn't bother me much so I should be good to go there.

Speaking of ankles. I have been messing around on a 20 i got for cheap, jumping stairs and stuff. Went out today and sessioned a couple of stair gaps for about an hour and a half. I got cocky and went for distance and was hauling balls and kinda forgot how twitch 20s can be. I went down hard before I even got to the stairs. I have to pretty gnarly gashes on my right ankle and both of them are swollen. Ill see if i can get a pic up.

First time I test rode a bmx at the bike shop, I liked to broke my neck just playing with a speed bump.
The shorter the wheel base, the faster things can go to hell.

It sure is fun though.

Edit: basically all of my foot that can be seen in the picture is now some hue of purple or green. I'll spare you all.

I made a wise purchase yesterday with the ankle brace. So I should be good to go now.

Is this a general ankle brace or one of those mountain biking ankle support things sold by the likes of 661 and other mtb specific companies?
