i usually get pretty bad shinbang. i skied for 4 days in a row this season and started to get shinbang by the last day. i have good boots (spks) and they fit correctly. im just wondering if anyone has any good techniques to prevent it from happening? like exercises to maybe get the muscle to cushion the bone or anything else.

plus, the plant it comes from is called Wolfsbane, or Leopard's bane.. so i think that sells itself.  It's supposed to help prevent bruising and swelling after the injury has happened.

word. when I had my promodels I didn't really get shing bang but then I got it once and I didn't wanna drill out the original straps and fuck with my boots so I started putting the strap in side the shell and it worked great, didn't get shin bang again even with landing probably 25% of my jumps back seat and buttering like it's my job.

yea i would tend to agree with that. my shins got worse last year as the year went on and my invaders got softer.

for the retard that said get spk boots, in the beginning of the thread i said I HAVE SPK BOOTS THAT FIT PROPERLY!. read the damn thread before jumping to conclusions. thanks everyone for your advice. i think i might get a pair of those shintronic things, seem like a good investment. all last year i skied with booster straps, and they didnt work.

ya man but its so hard to stop jubbing,  when you land hard it puts pressuse on your cartillage and shit,  which gives you the immediat effect to lean back

not trying to be a smartass, but you're claiming you haven't landed backseat at all yet this year??? I mean once can do it, especially early in the season when your legs are necessarily built up to skiing specs... Also, why would spk boots help prevent shinbang? What boots did you have before the spks, maybe salomon isn't the correct boot? Like I said, not trying to doubt that your boots "fit right" and all, but maybe another MFG would be better, or a higher fitting boot, or one that has 4 buckles... ie more support, Ive never tried the SPK but idk why it would be the cure for shinbang. I dont buy the 2 or 3 buckle technology...

so before I say this I will just say I have never ridden in or even put on the spk's but I actualy think that they might be part of the problem with only on buckle on the shin. See the thing is when you go to buckle your boots most of you will not actualy have your heal firmly in the heal pocket.  Then as you ski your heal will slide/shift back into it, leaving room for your shin to move down right by the ancle even if it is tight up by the top of your boot. this pain will travel up your shin. so you may think it is coming from the top of the boot even if it is not. if you have two buckles on the vertical part of your boot you will be able to tighten the lower on then flex forward and then buckle down from the top which will hold your foot firmly in the boot. As to fix this with the spks buckle the boot like you normaly do then flex it back and forth several times and then rebuckle starting with the top buckle and then going on to the second.and finish with the power strap.

i get shin pain from slamming into the front of my boots. i can feel it. im always doin nose butter, always ski in the front of my boot, always land switch leaning forward. i need a real flexy boot so it absorbs the forward shock. i used to have lange comp 120 FR.....those gave be terrible shinbang the entire season to the point where i nearly had to drop outta US open. they were also too big for me, so that was some of the problem. it just seems like every boot i ride is too stiff and cuts into my shin. i have real long shinbones, which means that it feels like the boots are too low so theres more angle to cut into my shin.
