SHIN BANG

what kind of boots do you have? have you taken them to some 'shop near u' to see what they can do like cut into the boot or whatever?

well heres what i did to my boots. i went and got this faom stuff and glued it in all around my shins. it puts an extra layer of protection. it doesn help all the time but iot will save them a little longer

Yeah it's true.. I heard the Bush administration now controls 80% of the worlds magic.

dont loosen you boots to prevent it. you shouldent strangle your shins, but boots are designed to be worn tight, and they work better if they are tight

I am right there with u man, i have shinbang real bad and it just gets worse every week. It is because my boots are way to big then what I should of gotten them at... try getting the elminators to stop the shin bang, they just are a insert with alot more extra padding.... loosening ur boots wont work, and could fuck up ur ankle if u take a digger.. just take time off, don't land backseat or into the flats, or get better boots..

i got really bad skin pain this year, too. i was told a bunch of different things. its not necessarily your leg banging against the front of your boot, if youre skiing backseat, then you could be putting a lot of stress on the tendons in the front of your leg (try and notice if you lift your toes of at all when you ski), especially if youre landing backseat. ask some of your friends to look at the way you ski. it could also be shin splints. im not exactly sure, but i think this happens when the muscle kinda tears away from the bone from repetitive impact -- correct me if im wrong. for that just try stetching (there should be tons of info somewhere on the web). after a lot of trial and error and screwing around with my boots, we finally figured out that my problem was that my boots were too soft, and that i was over-flexing them. kinda weird. just stiffening my boots, and i got a booster strap or something, has really helped a lot. if youre skiing a lot, check out custom insoles, those help with everything.
