Yea, so I get these superchargers, pretty stoked on em, and i expect to have some shinbang breaking them in.

Get shin bang, cept I've ridden these things hard for 3 days and it's not helping at all, and I have no idea how the hell i'm gonna be able to do anything with shitty boots, should i just try to take em back and get a different pair? fuck i shoulda gone for dalbellos in the first place in retarded. I mean I got em for a good price of 330, but man i don't know what to do HELP ME NS!

shinbang often comes down to fit and technique..not necessarily the boot.

I have supercharger ignitions and I don't get shinbang. The power strap is designed by booster and has elastic in it which should help.

Are you landing backseat a fair bit?

I don't think i am, and it's not on the part of the shin where bacseat affects it, it's more the upper part, forward shin pressure always!!!

i think ill turn down the boots to 80 instead of 90 and maybe not stretch the booster straps super tight?

thanks bro

You're complaining about shinbang in a 90 flex Nordica? Boots don't cause shin bang, skiers do. You're landing backseat. You don't get shinbang if you land properly. I'm riding a 110 flex Nordica right now and I only get shinbang when I land backseat.

Yeah but who can honestly say they don't land backseat occasionally when learning new stuff.

The nordica straps pretty much are booster straps, i'd try the eliminator tongue next. Else try and swap em in for the Inferno, the tongue on them is insane, looks pretty shinbang proof.

ya you shoud have gone for the dalbellos. I would suggest going to a local shop, explaining them your situation and seeing what they can do for you. Punching them out, footbeds etc...

It's not just landing backseat that can cause shinbang. How about tail butters? I find on days when do a lot of tail butters (which is quite often lol ) I usually get some degree of shinbang....

i had blowers last year, and they hurt if you land wrong/backseaat. but try booster straps, and ask the boots fitters at your shop.
