in a thread a few weeks ago a ton of people were saying that their ankles crack a tonnnn.  is it related to skiing at all, or is it just from something else?  and can a lot of ppl crack their ankles whenever they want?

I've never broken before, but I can make my right ankle crack on command, kind of odd.

no man its natural, its just pressure building up in your joints, when you crack your fingers and ankles and anything else, it relaxes the joints. the downside is that you do it too much, say hello to artheritis.(excuse my spelling)

no its not related to skiing,  you dont have to have any injury  that makes your ankles crack. Its common among a lot of the world

yea, though some people have had injuries that make their ankles crack a lot, many people including myself just have ankles that crack a lot for no apparent reason. Anytime I start running they'll crack with every step I take, it's been happening to me for as long as I can remember. Strange yes, but fairly common as well...

If this can make you feel better, skking is one of the best sport for your ankles. The boot protects it REALLY well, and you still have a comfortable flex so it keeps moving. A friend of mine broke his ankle and after a couple of weeks, his doctor told him that going skiing could only help his ankle to get better. Some will say Tanner broke both on Chad's, but I guess this was a really uncommon impact he had on his both feet, and I don't think any of us will ever get that kind of impact

I can crack my big toe on my right foot all the time.  Probably from overshoot/undershooting jumps so much and having my toes slam into my boots, cause my boots used to be too big

I was at PT for my knee one day, and my therapist was like "what is that popping?", I was like my ankles, and she was like wheeewww, she thought my knee just blew out again.

but yah mine do it alot too, specially in the morning when I walk up and down the stairs. good to know it happens to all u other fools too.

i think almost everbodys ankles crack and i dont think skiing is really that hard on your ankles compared to other sports because of the fact that your skiboot supports you ankle very well
