So is there space between your shin and the tongue?

You've probably been told this before, but get BOOSTER straps.  They will completely lock down the top of your boot and are supposed to completely eradicate shin bang. check it bro

You need to maximise the contact between your shin/tongue and calf/liner whether that is by filling up the gap with something like shintronics, or by getting booster straps to increase the contact

Backseat skiing/landings will always contribute to shinbang too.
