Opposite of shin bang?

I land back seat way too much and experience something like calf bang. I have no clue what to call it or how to treat it except to land forward more. Does anyone else have this problem?

i know that feel. I used to get it all the time when i would lean back really far trying to tail butter. I don't experience it now though and the only thing i experience when i land back seat is toe bang.

I get this occasionally if I land super backseat.. It sucks just as bad as shin bang. Honestly the only thing I can think of is to not land backseat in order to prevent it.

Shin pressure man. Put more pressure on the tongues of your boots and you'll feel so much better

Tightening your boots may help a lot.

this. after riding a ton of back seat ive never had calf bang. try removing the rear spoiler, if you have one with screws. also just focus on always having your shins in the tongue of those boots. i know its impossible to ride with forward pressure on the tongues all the time, but when ever youre able, keep dat weight forward.

i feel like this sensation is extremely hard to avoid when you are skiing on relatively flat angles with deep/heavy snow in tight areas.

Around New Years I jumped a cliff to a nice set-in traverse landing that hurt quite a bit. Ever since then, I seem to experience calf-bang when I lean back to ski between people's legs. Haha.

this used to happen when I would just wear mid calf socks while skiing. The sock ended before the boot so tail buttering felt like an amputation.
