i guess shaving your shins works, less friction.

man by shin bang do you mean from forward impact into your boots or shin splints? like you get from running, cause shin splints (pain from repeated downward impacts on your lower leg) you can't do anything about while tightening boots may help shin bang (from slamming forward into the boots...)

shin bang, is generally not caused by banging your shin into the tongue. It's from landing back seat. The back of you boot presses into you calf, which puts pressure on the front of you tibia (and fibula). This causes the muscles to stretch, your Anterior Tibialis and peroneous longus. That's basically known as shin splints, the muscles pull, tear and hurt like crazy. Also, it is possible to fracture your tibia and fibula from backseat landings. Ice helps, and next season i'm doing toe lifts.

get a power/booster strap and tighten the shit out of it. Loosen it off between runs to let your feet breathe.

not being a big fan of loading myself up with pain killers, do you think that icing your shins right before skiing would do the trick, because it would kinda numb the pain?
