SHINS!

yeah - I duct taped thick foam to my shins, and didnt do up the top buckle on my boots- that worked for a few hours. I CONSTANTLY ice my shins after skiing - and pop mad advil before and after each session. I waske up in the middle of the night often in shreiking pain! I ice them right away - and that drowns it out. Land switch for the next week.
My sinature sais all about shins.....



I have shin bang....and it hurts so bad I cried.

I am pretty sure that shin bang is from having to loose of boots not from vise versa. The reason that your shins hit the front of your boot is because your heels are lifting, it might be time for new boots, or just to tighten them more. I also share the same problem with a pair of salomon boots, could it be that their boots suck as bad as their bindings. Hahahahah who am I kiding nothing is as bad as salomon bindings, execpt maybe markers.

Try getting some custom foam liners. I got mine about two years ago and haven't had a problem since.

the reason you are getting shin splints is cuz you arn't landing right. you might not realise it, but I will guarantee that you are landing slightly back seat. this is what causes shin splints. I had them so bad a few years ago that I could hardly walk, and I couldn't ski at all. it sucked. I went to physio, and that didn't do a thing... then I tried ski boarding, cuz I couldn't ski... and I learned to land jumps on those things cuz if you land back seat you fall on your ass - so I learned to land on my feet... then I went back to skis, and I haven't had and shin problems since.... so yea... just learn to land your jumps... ski boards are the best thing for it... oh, and landing fakie doesn't hurt the shins either.

There are two types of shin bang
Lower shin bang:
This is caused when your heel lifts out of the boot and causes your lower shin to collide
with the inside of the boot. Tighten down that third buckle to keep your heel in place or try a heel lift
in your boot. When you land in the back seta this also happens a lot

Upper Shin bang
This is caused by landing to far forward i.e. switch landings. Tighten that third buckle down till your heel can't move around
This helps your shins and helps push energy into your skis making turning easier.

Ive suffered from both but i put a heel lift in and the problems have gone away
Also become a kick boxer and kick a wooden post till you deaden the nerves in your shins. I heard that works too

-my name is sirjibsalot i like to jib rails alot, curved ones,kinked ones, long ones, short ones, rainbow ones, and hand rail ones, because my name is sirjibsalot-

cool cool i actually tried tightening my boots and it helped a lot i cant figure out how to land d-spins without being in the backseat that killed.

Hey put away your pussies and suk it up bitch

ok go back to freeze, i dont think that comment helped much

I like skiing

go buy a replacement power strap for your boots. These can really help you tighten down your boots and keep your feet from moving around.

Shin Bang Sucks, it usually ruins my whole week of skiing after the first day...

what I wanna know is what boot is the best to avoid it?
