Yeah Ive got a robot ankle these days, 19 screws, a plate, and rubber bands attached to my ligaments. I probably have 80-90% range of motion depending on the day, but it doesn't really bother me skating at all, oddly enough in ways I'm better at skating then I was before surgery. I do stretches, bike, swim, and a lot of the other things mentioned in here. I don't wear an ankle brace either, although I might wear one today after I rolled it slightly yesterday... I really need to learn how to slam better, as mentioned I always try to run shit out and get fucked up.
