Monster foot pains



PhotoDan posted,

Is this just a beginner thing? I started boarding a few weeks ago, and since then I've been having REALLY bad pains in my pushing foot (I ride regular). At first I thought it was just sore cause the muscles were getting used to pushing, but it's been super painful for like...2 weeks now, and isn't going away.

When you first start out, is this kinda thing normal? It sucks, I wanna board but it hurts to even think about riding right now.

The pain is mostly in the arch and back of the heel.

It's normal when you start. I had the same thing.

Something to keep in mind while pushing is you don't need to stomp the ground heavily, this should ease up some pain.
