Its not the backseat thing its just from like leaning forward or something cause I havent landed backseat all year. Theres not even big enough jumps yet.

tighten your boots, get straps. and learn how to flex your boots. shin bang only really comes from riding in the back seat

try taking a couple steps on the inside of your feet and on the outside of your feet. this will stretch the muscles in your shin.

the only reason you get boot bang is beacause you land backseat and you shin bone bends a little
