Back of leg Boot line pain

It’s not really shin bang because it’s not on the front of my legs rather it’s the back of my legs on my boot line. I crank my boots down pretty tight so I really don’t have too much movement inside my boot.

it only happens after consecutive days of skiing.

im just wondering what to do for this because it’s super painful with every turn and my skiing just goes to crap. My boots are S pro 120.

the answer is probably crash less and rest my legs more, but I don’t want to ski less so any help is appreciated.

Calf bang. Stop skiing/landing backseat. Rest up

Also thicker socks suck for responsiveness but they definitely mitigate shin and calf bang for me

Backseat landings cause this for me.

Is your boot causing your calf to cramp up? If it is, you should really start stretching the shit out of your calves the night before and also before booting up. If you feel it starting mid day then hit the car or the lodge and take your boots off for a bit to stretch, snack and have a beer

I think you’re right haha. The problem is I love a good tail butter. I guess beggars can’t be choosers.

I have been having a similar thing this season. I have tried everything even new smaller boots. The only thing that I found helped it was taking a bunch of ibuprofen, cranking down my boots and pretending it wasn’t there.

I used to have this and it would ruin my ski vacations. It went away when I started skiing with shin pressure, especially on the steep stuff + moguls.
