Skiing my home hill in Ontario for the first time this season and was left with incredible calf pain. Also did this

and am now trying to figure out how jumping off a lift in some value village skis would correlate to the pain.

Rip ACL, PCL, or popliteas tendon. You just dropped like 25ft to flat dude of course it hurt. That was a pretty dumb move but I'm psyched you filmed it lmao.

Rest/ice/compress/elevate. It it continues to hurt or swells and gets red see a doc don't try to tough it out.

Edit: your calf hurts because a heel release that violent torques your tib/fib backwards as your femur continues to fall forward, this stresses the calf muscles, pcl, and popliteas (all back of the knee) which could result in a tear.
Source : not a doctor, but had postereo lateral reconstruction last summer where they repaired shit that may be similar to what hurts on you.

That actually makes perfect sense, and ya, will be refraining from similar activities for a little bit 🤷‍♂️

Calf Pain, could be a few things like pulled muscle, IT Band injury, Bad Boots, etc.

All i gotta say is invest in your boots. Go to Surefoot if you can and get a fully custom boot.

Health-wise, Fruit Based Raw Diet is the best your body can ask for man. it'll promote energy, healing, and flexibility. try it out. Feel free to DM me on Instagram @x_ANKILLA if you wanna know more.

Regardless, be easy on your body if youre in pain. take a week or two off. Incorporate stretching into your daily routine, especially before skiing.
