Ya i used to get really bad shin bang, but then i found this really dense black foam in my house and cut it to fit in my boot right in front of my shin and i haven't gotten shin bang since, so for all you looking for solutions and you just can't stop landing backseat, i suggest you look into this, it works.

that's cool, but do you know what exactly the "really dense black foam" is, so people can get it.

I've used foam from an old camping mattress, the blue roll up kind that nobody ever uses anymore (since the Thermarest anyways). It works pretty well, but buying better boots helped prevent it better.

i also found that if you cut the bottom of socks off the top part works pretty good as extra cushion.

also the krypton rampage will prevent most all shin bang, given the amount of forward flex, and how the tounge is independent.

Shave your shins, never have shin bang again.

some tricks are hard to do that with till you get them really solid, say cab 9er for instance, that's a bitch to not land back seat since the spin naturally puts you backseat.

The black stuff you are talking about is pipe insulation I think.
