Shin Bang Practicing Ollies

I have developed the dreaded shin bang recently, and read the primary way the tibialis anterior muscle gets strained is by skiing in the backseat. I realized that I’ve been practicing ollies on flat areas a lot recently, and that movement probably puts even more strain on those muscles. What are some tips to avoid this in the future?

Straight up a skill issue. If done with proper technique you should not be getting any shinbang. As steezyyeeter said nollies are fun too. Even steezier when done right. More versatile and aesthetic stunt.

I’m practicing them for the first time. What could potentially be some of the issues? Am I loading up the wrong muscles?

Its either your boots don’t fit or you’re doing too much of a tailpress —> let the ski flexout instead of a fluid jumping motion

Dont overthink it too much
