Dangers of DDR

I've twisted my ankles a few times. I usually get stomach cramps if I play too soon after I eat. One time I fell off the pad and busted up my knee a little. I have no balance when the song ends with a freeze arrow

the only time i hurt myself on DDr is when i went to a friends house and used his metal pad. I was doing abyss on heavy and i got half way through the first part and my right foot slipped off and i twisted my ankle.

I'll occasionally place my foot so it's halfway on the pad and halfway off, and it'll hurt so bad that I have to hobble over to turn off the PS2.

when i play in the garage (ma pad on thin layer of carpet so it wont get scorched up) after playing for a while my feet felt as if they were broken. all of that smashing my feet on concrete really hurts after a while. another time would be exhaustion than an injurt, but wen i was a noob and could only do lite mode me and my friend played maxx unlimited on heavy. i took the up and right arrows and ma friend took down and left. we basicly stomped as fast as we could the whole song. bout half way through it ma legs quit working so i fell down and pounded it with both of my fists (on the hard concrete) untill they quit. we were at the end and if i would of lasted 20 seconds longer we would of beat a 10 footer when 2-4 footers were hard

. after that song i layed on the ground gasping for air not capable of moving my arms or legs for around 20 miniutes.

I must ruin this Basic members page, Im a trick member

Anyway, I have twisted my ankle when my shoe got caught under the metal and plexiglass and I tried to move it foward, and it just twisted. I did a jump and came down wrong on the left foot. That really hurt.

And I keep my knee really stiff on a jump, and my knee bent backwards and prained it.

I've had too many injuries.

Oh no, I didn't see that other trick member up there!!!

The worst I've ever had it was when I was freestyling to Dynamite Rave. When a break in the steps occured, I swung under the bar, spun around, and jumped over it. Big mistake. I totally overshot my jump, and nearly did a faceplant into the cabinet. Luckily (sort of) I broke my fall with my knee and wrist. Two minutes later I realized blood was trickling down my leg.

I'm such a retard.
