I skated for maybe 2 years on and off as a kid, and as an adult I've picked it up again. I've started almost 1.5 years ago, but I've only skated for about 8 months since I can only skate during the fall/winter.
I'm pretty solid on all my single jumps, and lately I've been working on getting speed and height.
With the speed though, I feel like a lot of the time I land on a very deep edge, and my right ankle is rolled to keep myself upright (that is, if I don't fall from this deep edge).
I got a pair of Jackson Elles last year, though I've only skated on them for around 6 months. I feel like I need to re-lace them at least once or twice per 1 hour session, but they're only starting to crease slightly at around 3/4 of an inch.
The Elles aren't advertised as a boot for jumps, so I'm wondering if my rolled ankle is a result of a weak boot, or does this sound like a technique issue?
