Replying to Shin bang with Full Tilts
I got the Tom Wallisch Full Tilt Hotdoggers at the start of this season. At this point, I'm getting horrendous shin bang, and its been going on for the past month or so. I know that Full Tilts aren't miracle workers that will completely eliminate shinbang. The thing is that the jumps where I ski are very poorly made with pretty big lips that launch you up, but the landings are not angled enough. Add to that the fact that I overshoot the supposed "landing" most of the time because I'm afraid I'm not gonna clear it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reduce this by tightening the boots differently (I'm not sure if they should be loose or tight) or any other way? I'm going to Vail, Colorado in a week and I'm gonna cool it with the jumps and focus on powder/tree skiing, and I don't want to be in pain the whole time. Any suggestions guys?
