Stopping landing back seat is the big one. However I doing toe lifts to strengthen the muscle that lifts your foot up helped a lot, you can do them in class or wherever if you get into the hobbit of it.

yes, this^ and using a foam roller on your shins. i know landing backseat is super easy to do, but just try to stay forward. also, booster straps help a ton, and even got rid of my toe bang. and btw the proper name is "shine bang" -b fish

Common question. Answer, stop riding for a few days until it doesnt hurt anymore. If you decide to ride, dont ride backseat and take it easy.

take a stick and beat your shins until your nerve endings are completely fucked and voila no shin bang.

This and ice them a lot. This also helps for a temporary fix when I had shin bang I would ice my shins during lunch.

Take a cheese slicer and just start slicing down on your shin, it hurts at first but it gets better, don't stop until you reach bone

don't know if it really does anything or not but i used to try and scrape down my shin with a ruler with as much pressure as possible. hurts like all fucking hell, but apparently it would take the liquid out of it or something?

haha but seriously just suck it up for a year or two more. your shins will toughen up, and you won't get shin bang any more. now a days if i land really back seat ill maybe get a bit of toe bang, but i can't remember the last time i had shin bang
