From a dead thread:
'I have had pretty severe 'shin bang' for the last year and a half. It is certainly caused by backseat landing. Not landing in the backseat is a good first step, but this can't always be helped. The true cause however is a poor fit in the ankle area of your boot. 95% of boots can't get tight enough around the ankle and even with them clamped as hard as they can be, you probably can still lift your heel a little if you really try. That is the problem. The only way to really fix the situation is to get boots that fit perfectly and don't permit ANY heel liftage no matter how hard you try. Unfortunately, the solution for me was to get very VERY expensive custom fit boots. Nothing else helped over the last year or so. Possibly one of the most frustrating things ever. Hope this helps, good luck.' - TurboPenguin

heel movement while having your actual shin buckles clamped down way too hard......... that's what does it for me at least........

ok shin splints happen when your calf muscle is way stronger than the little muscle on the fron of your leg so work that out i just sit in a chair and plant my feet. pick up your toes and ball of your feet only repeat, you'll feel the burn. also work out your hamstrings lie on your back, put your feet as close to your butt as possible and lift your hips up and hold. (try it one legged only when warmed up) most knee injuries occur when your quad and calf are so strong the other muscles wont balance out.

i think shin bang is actually caused by stretching your shin muscles too much, or straining in a backseat landing to stay upright. This is caused by a loose fit. I think that the rossi soft boots only multiplied the effect of this because they are like rubber, i had a pair for part of last season, they are soft as hell and don't support you. U NEED A TIGHT BOOT WITH THE RIGHT AMMOUNT OF PADDING. We may be talking about two different things tho, not the shin splints u get when u run track after the winter.

I ride with the top two buckles undone and only the strap hooked. It doesn't seem to pull on the shins when you land backseat.
warm foam.....I hate that shit....

i get him from track but the best way to get rid of em according to my coach is the crumple up a bunch of small paper balls and then throw them on the floor. THen pick em up one by one. Do this a couple times a day and you should be fine. IT worked for me after bout 2-3 weeks

shin splints happens when the small muscle attached to your shin bone, or tibia, starts pulling or fraying away from the bone...it wont be cured right away, just always ice it, ibuprofen, and if you can, tape it up. put two vertical strips about 4 inches apart around your shin, from about 2 inches below your knee to 4 inches above your ankle. depending on how it hurts, you take strips of tape and pull either left to right, or right to left, and attach them to each of the other strips. do that until your shin is covered and its the whole way down the two longer strips. this will take a while to heal, but if you do the right stuff it should go quicker
