I use them in my Langes combined with Booster straps because I have really skinny calves/shins. Solved all my problems.

cut a whole in the center, then ur shins dont touch anything. and it doesnt hurt thet much anymore....and they cure shins...wear them everyday.

yea i have booster straps i find they only help a bit. to heal it i put this cream on but i dont know what it is called but it burns for like 15 minutes alot and then there is no more pain and it feels like you never had shin bang

Ice them. And take some ibuprofen.

Takes a few days to really take care of them though.

do toe raises, while you are sitting in class, just lift your toes up.

the bottom part of your shin hits the front and the top part of your calf on the back. just use a kitchen sponge. way easy to install and it has a lifetime warranty

Shin bang is shin splints, shin splints is when the muscle on your shin is pulling off the bone. It happens to us from landing backseat. Putting cotton balls shouldn't technically help in anyway but I can see why it would help your friend because he'd be more likely to keep a forward stance because it hurts less therefore eliminating backseat landings

yeah they work a bit because the regulare ones that your boots come with are just velcro and the booster straps you can get really tight and they will not get loose at all so they help a bit i guess

i love my booster straps they seem to help a lot. they go super tight so it is about impossible to get shinbang and it only tightens the top of ur boot

damn theres alota stupid fucking people on this site. I have booster straps, boots that fit, and dont even ski park that much and still get fucking terrible shin bang sometimes. so stop telling popel to stop landing backseat because no matter how hard u try its gonna happen every once in a while, and stop saying buy spks and other gay shit like that and help people out.

As for the maker of this thread, ice your shins a lot and it should go away in a few days and then ice again after u ski

Thats is cause you land back seat or don't clear the jumps.
