well if u think about there really is nothing u can do about it. some ppl try to wear a ton of socks, to making them really loose? haha and puting a spong in there.
 
i have booster straps they help a bit, the best thing to do though is land correctly, and just do a lot of switch stuff
 
if they get really bad make sure to take an antiinflamitory and ice the shit out of them.

I used to get them in lax and iceing them was the only thing that worked
 
Rub a solution of salt and vinegar if there is an open wound. It will make it magically heal up and never have shin bang again.
 
its usually not even landing jumps for me.. like hitting the bumpy crud, and shifting weight, but mostly hitting rough snow... and i realllly am always in pain, so i am thinking sponges will help maybe.

haha
 
stand flat footed. then just go to your tippy toes and back down, do those. you will start to feel your shin muscle. some trainer person had me doing those and said it was for your shin muscle. im not sure if it helps with shin bang but strengthens that muscle.
 
I never had this shin problem, I always make sure my boot is nice and snug. You let it loose and wiggle around too much you put yourself at risk actually. And not just for a strained shin either. Just get the right boot.
 
thanks.. and my boots definitely fit, i even had to unseam the toe a bit bc they are smallll. but i'll try tighter shin straps.
 
On the boot topic, get Salomon boots, they are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo comfy. I got mine with a heatfit liner, I can never go back. Though I do hear nordica and technica are pretty sick.
 
i find i have wayyy to many problems with my boots, shin bang being a major one. the other one.. i can never buckle them and leave the same for the day, i find myself unbuckling after ever run so my feet and calfs can relax and not hurt on the chair up or the next run. but i have no cash and i just bought these boots. PLZ someone helppp me outt
 
sponges work well in a pinch, but how often do you get water in your boot? and if it got damp or wet it wouldt freeze
 
you stretch dude. you put your toes all the way up then all the way down for about 5-10 minutes then it will help.
 
get spk boots and wear them for a couple days and then BAM... its all good. and dont land backseat.
 
You need stiff boots, you need to make sure the strap is really tight (or booster strap) and not land backseat.
 
also a really good shin exercise is to sit on the ground with one leg out with the knee bent and put your other foot ontop of that as a weight and move the bottom foot up and down while keeping your heel on the ground yaayurr
 
Yeah, my coach had me do these for Cross Country. Stand with your toes on a board or stair and just do toe-ups until it hurts. Builds your calf muscles like crazy. And yeah booster straps, foam padding and alternating heat and cold on your bruises/muscles will help.
 
either never land badly agin on any jump, ever. Or take up ping pong.

Keep riding park, its gunna keep hapnin.
 
fuuuck that happens to me to! i have the rossi softs but there to big because i want to fit them next year
 
yeah i bought them a half size big so they will fit but im pretty sure my foots done growing. idk wat im supposed to do besides suck it up
 
take it to a pro bootfitter. there are ways to take a little length/ width off the boot (and vise versa), but it may cost you.
 
push blood into circulation by rubbing with your knuckels next to the bone from you knee down
 
THIS IS THE BEST thing to do for chronic bangers and backseat wilson landers. dig out an old wetsuit from your garage (or cheapie from a thrift store, yard sale) and cut about a 12" section that can wrap around your shin firmly. Put these on under your socks and your good to go. Plus booster straps, proper fit/flex and you're golden.
 
I get shinbangs all the times,not only from landing bakcseat but from leaning FORWARD (=pressure on the shins) too much...

ALl of you said that you need stiffer/tighter boots...but this just increases the pressure on the shins, doesnt it? does not seem logical to mee..

also, isnt it useless using sponges (i.e. to make the boot SOFTER)and then strapping the boot tighter?:S

 
also, when i get shinbangs, i lose the boot, in order not to have that much pressure on my shin...shouldnt i do this? where should the boot be tight? round the shin or the ankle??
 
The bruise is from you slamming your shin into the boot front. Tightening it will keep the tongue of your boot closer to your shin and actually lessen the force of the impact when you press against it. So tighten. Padding will help too.

Shin Bang sucks. The only real thing to do is just ski really conservatively, otherwise you can end up damaging your shins so bad that the bruise stays until the last week of summer (I managed to do it!). Keep yourself off any aggressive skiing and hard impacts for a few days until you heal.
 
i had the shinbangs till summer, too..and usually i can ski 1 week before getting them, but this season they hurt after the first day...the problem is, that when i'm in my boots, my knees are not really bended (which looks kinda stupid),and if i want to bend my knees, i have to press against the boot really hard..
 
ok is shin bang the same as shin slpines like when the front of your lags hurt like hell when you ski or even walk in ski boots
