I'm on a lift in park city and I just got some bad shinbang in the park, now it hurts to turn. Anyone know a cure?

Get new boots that are fitted properly. BUT...in the mean time put your power strap around the liner, behind the plastic cuff. This will give more support and it will help reduce the shin bang.

i'd say either the search bar or full tilts can't really decide at the moment

Seriously put your booster strap round the liner, inside the the plastic cuff. It will make a big difference. Trust me.

Shave your legs and wear low cut socks. Those ones I have tried and did work. I haven't had to do them for years though. And as mentioned, tighter boots. Always stretch you calves and shins before skiing too.

Like this (this is a booster) you can do the same with your standard power strap. Notice it is inside the plastic cuff.

Thats shin splints. Minute stress fractures from flexing the shin bone backwards.

Shing bang is from violent contact (fore and aft) with the tounge of the boot. Causse by a lose or overly large boot.

Not trying to be a prick and correct you. But they are cause from differnt issues.

He maybe however be landing in the back seat (like tyou say) but confused this with shin bang.

You know, I didn't really believe it until I tried it, and I'm not certain of why it works.  As near as I can tell, anything that reduces friction between your shin and your boot helps.  I think shin bang is the result of the tongue of your boot pulling your shin down, while your body is pulling your legs up.  The shaving is essential for the low cut socks though.

As for know I wear smart wool socks, non-shaved legs, and properly fit boots, haven't had shin bang in three seasons.  You could also just stick to landing switch all the time.

booster straps are designed to hold the tongue tighter to the shin = more response/no shinbang
