I've heard that the 1080 boots are good for preventing shin bang.

i switched from lange gx9's to salomon xwave6's (slightly softer than 1080 boot) my shin bang is pretty much gone now.....it was something fierce with my lange's though - i literally couldn't touch small areas on my shins because the pain was so much.....took like three months to go away

i get the worst shin bang too. my boots are slightly big so they last a few years. they dont tighten all the way around my leg even with the buckles tightened all the way. some guy told me about www.theboosterstrap.com, i bought some, hopefully they work well

yeah, wearing race boots in the park is no fun, i should prolly go buy some freeride boots

one of the top reasons for shin bang and shin splints is that the hairs on your shins are being pulled. thats why i shave my shins and ankles

no shit? I have race boots, and therefore shin bang, so this could be nice if it works. I remember there was this crazy Australian kid at my race camp a few summers ago, and he skied on Lange world cup stock boots two sizes too small (which are stiff as hell), and he shaved his shins because the hairs would just get pulled out, which would suck as well.

Havent you guys heard of tounge shims!?!?!?!? Take your boots down to you local shop and have them fabricate you some shims. They some foam with adhesive on the back and sand it down to form the shape of your tounge on your innerboot then they apply it. This fills up some of the excess space that cauases shin bang.

why would shaving your shins have any effect on shin bang?

yah my shin bang has nothing to do with the hairs on my leg.....sure the hairs get pulled and it's annoying but if you go to the doctor because your little leg hairs are in pain then you're a pussy

#1 rule: Shinbang comes from landing in the backseat, not boots or hair on your legs. once you get shinbang, your boots surely can make it worse, but they are not the cause.

Here is how it works with shin bang you get it three ways.

number one slamming the front of your boot even a soft boot will hurt you if you do it all day.

number to pulling the muscle connected to the bone. this is how I think you are doing it. by landing in the backseat you pull on the muscles located around your shin. you bruise them and then they hurt like hell. This is how I hurt my shins.

number three pull the hair out of your leg again bruises your skin and muscle even though you cant see it. Most racers will shave their legs to avoid this problem.

on hill solutions get a girl to buy you 2 maxi pads and put them in your boots if they samrt to hurt. sounds stupid but it will get you through the day.
