I used to get shin bang like crazy before last season... then i bought 1080 boots, now i never get it. except the other day i cleared a 60 foot jump by about 20 feet w/ switch 5 so i landed forward and i got the bang like crazy, which probably would happen to most people, it wasn't really my boots or anything. i just landed backseat like crazy going like 90 feet to flat. anyway, now when i ski i have to land switch, i can't even perfectly land forward cuz they're still real tender. i had taken a week off and they still killed to land forward perfectly. so when i'm not skiing whats a good thing to do? most people have said ice, but doens't ice just prevent swelling? my shins aren't....swelling... they just hurt, and alot of it is from the back/sides. kinda weird. probably just how i landed. but i really need to do something cuz i dont wanna take like 3 weeks off just to let them heal. and for the stupid people, dont tell me to just never land forward cuz it still hurts to just ski, period. so is ice really the answer? and what even technically IS shin bang? is it so much pressure from the backs of the boots in my crash that it just hurts? but whatev, for now i rubbed icey hot all over them and its the craziest thing ever. already burned my leg hair off. its pretty sexy. and what is this i hear about rubbing a pole up and down them? what the hell? any bit of advice would be so awesomely gargantuanly splendidly appreciated. thanks.

The reason they hurt is from the back ward pressure on your boots you streched the muuscle around your shin area, and it is swelling (even though you cant see it) and iceing really does stop sweeling despite what you may have heard. Make sure when you ice them you do 15 mins on 15 mins off or eles you just mess your self up even more.

shin bang is pounding your shins into the tongues of your boots, bruishing. But most frequently people land back seat and pull their tibialis anterior and peronius tertius (both on the front of the shins). This commonly known as shin splints as the muscle is pulled slightly from its attachment. I was dealing with it at the begginng of the season, pretty painful.

i don't get shin bang so much as pain in the back of my calves from backseat landings and cliffs. Anybody else get this?

i had almost EXACTLY the same problem last year, the problem is, there is no real cure, ice wont help because it only helps within 48 hours of the incedent, and im sure its been more than 48 hours. Heat would help a little, but not really that much. The only real cure is rest. If thats not of take 3-4 ibuprofen (motrin) and 2-3 acetomitophin (tylonol) it wont mess you up because the drugs work differently but it will really kill the pain pretty well. Also try bucking your top buckles tighter if they arent already. Well i feel for ya bud cause i have an injury right now too, except mine is a back injury from decking out from 15 feet up in a lincoln

I have it too right now and all you can do is either ice it, or just wait it out. It's not bad because you can ski through it. Skiing good through it... well that's another story.

eat advil before skiing and ice your shins after skiing. You've bent your shin bones too far.

cutting some memory foam from the bootfitter and putting it under ur buckles on the outside of the tounge and then some on the inside where your shin actaully hits will work amazingly, also with the 1080s cut out the v on the inside back of the shell this will soften the boot
