Good boot for backseat landings? Also pros and cons of full tilts

Go. To. a. bootfitter.

As said above you really need to go to a bootfitter and also read this thread, https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/311248/, which will answer a lot of the questions you might have about boots. To answer your question about full tilts, I have had a pair of hotdoggers for a couple seasons and they have been pretty good for me. They are very light weight, prevent shinbang pretty well and and have comfortable heatmolded intuition liners. The buckles however are flimsy and prone to breaking and the heel piece has worn down a bit, although it's cheaply and easily replaceable. While they are pretty nice they will not make up for a bad fit, so it is most important to buy what fits you the best.

Backseat landing is tough. There are some things which can help such as getting the appropriate forward lean for you, soft spoilers may help as it allows some give backwards. Footbeds can also help as they stop your foot sliding forward which can make you lean back further. Also having the correct fit over te instep to hd your foot down can help. So over all a well fitting boot is the very best way to reduce pain when landing back seat.

Full tilts have the advantage of changing the tounges to alter flex but you can adjust flex on most boots any way so its nothing that special. Other then that they are pretty light and if thy happen to fit you better then any other boot on the market thy are the boot for you. But there are entry of better boots out there so don't worry if they don't fit you.

Alright thanks guys!

When you get new boots, it's really important that they fit - we can't recommend boots over the internet since we don't how they fit your feet. That's why you need a bootfitter.

However, NO boot will be "good for backseat landings". Even with a perfectly fitted boot, you'll want to learn to land properly.

You can actually get boots fitted to a degree where backset landings don't hurt really. Look at all the big mtn guys, they tend to land backseat allot. There are defiantly ways to fit boots to a level where backseat landing need not suck. Obviously some really extreme back seating could be sore but it should not hurt.

I don't really get any shinbang from landing backseat with my current boots, but I still try to avoid landing backseat unless it is necessary (as you mentioned, there are times when it's alright and/or advisable to land backseat).

I kind of (perhaps wrongly) assumed that the OP's issues were from accidental backseat landings in the park due to poor technique.

Or backseat landings still hurt and pro's don't give a shit.

^ oh no they complain as much as customers the difference is they actually have a reason to complain. But with a bit of work you can get boots to a stage where they are pretty much pain free.

Just a small idea not sure if they will help very much with shin bang in backseat landings but there are these things called ShinShields here is the website: http://www.shinshields.com/
I've only managed to try them once and they actually made a really big difference, I got sore shins from a backseat landing so I gave them a shot, I was skeptical but they actually made a pretty big difference and reduced the pain quite a lot.
I'm going skiing tonight so I will report back with what I think on my second ski with them.

But really the best way to not get shin bang is with a good boot.
