I actually have been out of airsoft for a little over a year and I was thinking that I could start playing again after I was injured, but that is not really the case. I got hurt riding dirt bikes at a motocross track back in May of 2010. I shattered my navicular, 3rd and 5th metatarsals(toes basically) in my foot. I had to have an emergency surgery on my foot (Left) to repair the damage. The surgery lasted 6 hours and I left the operation room with 5 screws in my navicular, 4 screws and a plate fusing my 3rd met, a hole in my heel from where they took a bone graph, and a lovely external fixator sticking out of my foot.
This injury was extremely severe, the doctor said it would change my life and lo and behold here I am not able to stand for very long (after about an hour it starts to tighten up and become painful), run more than 100 yards max. It is actually pretty crazy that i'm able to do this considering the extent of the injury. I have severe osteoarthritis which may cause me to lose 90% of my side to side motion because i may have to have a second operation down the road to fuse the navicular-talus joint surface they rebuilt.
So that is the main reason I am getting out of airsoft, I am simply not able to run and jump around anymore without having my foot swell up like a balloon.
Sorry for the essay, but you asked.
Oh an I also have pictures that are pretty gnarly if you want to see, I figured I wouldn't post them due to the graphic nature, unless someone wanted....

That sucks man. I ride MX also, but don't race anymore due to time and money. Actually, I barely even go ride anymore. It's been months.bunghole731 said:I actually have been out of airsoft for a little over a year and I was thinking that I could start playing again after I was injured, but that is not really the case.

I dont know about dr scholls, but sorbothane is a very good shock absorber, you might want to try sorbo pads.
