Title: Moving Foot Restricting
Post by: Jason on June 18, 2009, 10:19:32 PM

I know this is only going to be of interest to a few as the moving feet are rare in this country  :Cbiggrin:

I found that due to my ankle injury I had to be careful of pushing the foot to far forward and also landed with them down a few times and it felt decidedly dodgy

I have now restricted the movement a bit (to about 3/4) by riveting a small plate under the back section and the difference is amazing I managed to land with toes down today and it didn't feel to bad (not to be recomended yet though  :Claugh:)

I also find it is easier to push off in a jump without feeling like your gonna stretch your ankles

If anyone else has the same problem I'll post some pics

I find i never land with my Toes pointed downwards.. =/

but my foot usually sits just above flat when i jump.. so its not completely down or pointed forwards but just ever so slightly tilted, unless doing back to backs.. then it all slams down Hard :P
