i got the intermediate ones and put them around but didn't attach directly with screws yet, and i still got good flex but no shin bang last weekend. although we didn't hit any jumps last weekend...just really light powder.  but its the first weekend without shin bang and i was leaning back alot because of the pow and i was on centermounts cuz it was light and thought i might hit the talbe (it got snowed over)

Beat the shit out of your shins for a season, then you will either land better or your shins will hurt less.

if it doesn't go away even if you don't ski for a while, you probaly have shinsplit(if the pain is mainly on the inside of your chin you have shin split). This is an infection of the tissue on your shin created by putting to much pressure on your shin. Can happen when you're not skiing but by running a lot to or other sporting activities. You have to go to a fisiotherapist(not sure how to spell that, I am not a native english speaker). He will have to masage it out, wich takes a while.

Giray has a sweet idea fo sho!

or, cut the top off one or two ski sockes and layer em over your first ski sock to create extra padding and snugness.

Or get Full Tilt boots.
