There's really no way to prevent it most of the time, sometimes i would get no shinbang and spend about 5 hours in the park, constantly landing flat. Some times, i just hit on jump

its not where you ride, its how you ride it!

the worst is if you have a strap and then upper buckles come loose. then you shoot forward till an abrupt stop. to stop it you can supposedly ice it and rub the front of your shin w/ your pole because it kills cells or something allowing it to heal quicker. not exactly sure but someone talked about those preventions a few weeks ago

After skiing like 10 times do you guys notice that on your shin a lot of the hair is missing? My boots rip out alot of my leg hair and it is quite strange. A phenomenom if you will

think of it this way, the tighter ure boot, the more its likely to move with ure shin, therefore meanin less resistance when you land hard.

its not where you ride, its how you ride it!

look up the booster strap at google.com and click the first thing that comes up. I don't have one but I'm really considering one. It even says 'STOPS SHIN BANG'

I got the booster strap, they do work good. I get more control while allowing my boots to be 1 notch looser on the top two buckles. Helps alot with shin bang too.

sounds like you need some rear entry boots from the 80's.

i know this doesnt sound like a very good solution but the only way to stop it is to stop landing backseat on stuff, if you do that no matter how your boots are set you will be fine.

don't backseat, buckle your boots AS TIGHT AS POSSIBLE, and rest......that's about it
