My boots fit perfect, I have a booster strap and I have shims. But I'm still getting shin bang, is there anything i can do?

I have full tilts but I switched my liners with old rachille liners which have the tongue piece and aren't the folding ones, this fixed my problem

Do you have footbeds in your boots? Footbeds do more good than people think, and since they prevent your foot from twisting, they also prevent your leg from twisting and hold your leg in the proper spot in the liner. If you don't have them, you really should get them.

If you haven't let it completely heal, almost nothing is going to make it feel great (maybe better but not great). It takes a while to get back to 100%.

this. when you land off a rail or a jump, focus on making the tips of your skis hit the ground first, causing you to land with your shins on the front of your boots.

holy shit no wai

If the tips aren't landing first with good stacked form, you're touching down into shinbangsville. There is no other "cure" but shinbang itself is a clue- it's your body telling you to STOP THAT. No booster strap/Pyrex limited edition collab you can stick on there, no Tammy Whamnuts fucking pro model Ugg looking boot you can buy or money you can spend to stop shinbang if you're skiing or landing backseat. .

Also work out your legs. I do land backseat less than I used to, but I also got way stronger, and I'd say that did way more for me than simply not landing backseat. It helps you keep more upright even on sketchy landings.

What ski are you riding? I recently encountered someone who mounted K2 Presses true center despite the fact that that particular ski is not a fully symmetrical twin and has a retardedly soft tip with a strangly stiff tail, which pretty much forces you to drive from the backseat.
