ankle injury

yea i used to have those bauer vapor xiv skates with the tukk chassis, and twisted my ankle real bad in them the second game i played in them. i was used to playing with a regular boot and chassis (the chassis was a sure-grip 500 w/ 48mm wheels). So just to point that out, because even though regular goal skates (for roller hockey) did feel wonderful, i believe they just hugged the ground a bit too much when i did twist it! eh i was out for 8 weeks (high ankle sprain!). just be careful...

speaking of that stuff, i was always wanting to convert my old boot into a lower profile chassis and a cowling. just so i can have the benefit of ankle stability plus being lower to the ground. any ideas?
