Bad knees shins and ankles only when landing tantrums....

[sirPARTYman]

So now i have a problem Ive come down on my feet on my last 2 tantrums.The 1st my right knee went sideways so was out for a week really sore when it happened but just bruised.Felt good today after resting it for a week had a set did sum big grabs and 180s into the flats felt good,so i thought it was just a freak injury.So 2nd sett i built up the courage to try another 1 and bang both knees,shins and ankles in extreme pain when landed Thought i had damaged both knees.So im sitting on ma couch with 2 iced up bung legs wondering what 2 do now? Do i give the tantrum away to save my riding career? Is it a problem with the build of my legs both times i never spotted my landings is it bad technique? Would love some feedback cos im gutted i love this trick that ive just learnt

You need to spot your landings early to absorb the pressure that will come. Most people get there injurys of not spotting landings!

I dont understand how you can actually NOT spot your landings since your head should be going first and then your body so the water is very quikly visible...

Ey, take a little break, youre knees will recover no problem. Wenn i did first of my raley attemps I crashed my knees and ankles aswell, after a week of sore knees and ankels everything was over and am still riding...
