we all get em and they suck... now whats the best way to cure them? I can't really stay off of them, because i ski for work, and its not an option. I usually ice them after skiing when i cant walk, and take pain killers, but thats all i can think of. Im gettn new boots, the 1080's. when i tried em on they seemed to help brace my shins. do they help on the mountain?

what do you do to kill your shin bangs?

what works for me is be sure you pull your socks all the way up...and like fold em over your boots so they stay there...and wear your boots as tight as humanly possible.
joey: whats that?
me: i dunno
Joey: me either but it's comin back!

yeah just tighten your boots up. you get shin bang cause your boots give to much. i had that problem till i started tightening my boots more. no more shin bang for me.

I heard the booster strap works, but I dont know where to find it. Im really desperate myself so I think Ill try that if someone could provide the link.

The one reason you get shin bang is that your boots dont fit correctly. A good way to combat this is to get say 3 old pairs of ski socks and cut the bottom of them off so that only the top three five or so inches remain. Then put these over the affected area and do up your boots as tight as a sixteen year old virgin's gash. This should help.

Big-Willy: wrap your powerstrap BEHIND the plastic cuff so that you're only tightening the top of the foam liner. The buckles will hold the plastic just fine. Works the same as the Booster strap - costs much less...
