A couple days ago i was skiing in the park and over shot the landing to a jump and ended up bruising my heel pretty bad. Right now i cant really walk on it and I was wondering if anyone else out there has done that, and how long it takes to recover from...how long til i can hit booters again?

yah, doc looked at it, xrays showed negative on a fracture(noticable anyway). wasnt really my style on hitting the table, i didnt scope and overshot, and paid dearly. but yeah, once again, i am just wondering how long it takes to recover from because im going out west in 2 weeks and id like to be able to hit jumps, if not rails.

same thing happened to me, i was comin up just a little short, so I tucked into a 35 footer or so and cleared the fucker. bad move. i'd say 2 weeks and you should be ok. worst part of that injury is that technically you didn't break anything, and nothing's visibly wrong, so you look like a pussy. but man it fuckin hurts to walk after you overshoot shit bad.

i did the same thing you did. overshot the landing, and went home with a bone-bruised heel with a very small fracture on it. i walked on it for 6 weeks before going to the doctor, so there was nothing they could do. i couldn't jump (and i don't mean on skis... i mean like jump up and land on the ground) without crazy pain unil the next season season... about 9 months later. it still hurts like a bitch to land on hardpack, and that was 2 and a half years ago or so.

best of luck

if you went and had a doctor check it out and x-rays taken, then why didnt you ask the doctor about how long it should take to heal? He might have a better idea than the kids on some website that have no idea what it looks like.

I fucked my heel up in Early November, but freestyle walking. I can walk fine now, but sometimes with skiing I still notice its a little sore. It took about a whole month before I couldn't notice a difference walking though. It's a bitch of an injury, real annoying.
