So i got Full Tilts 2 years ago (or 3?, i dunno). Didn't go to a bootfitter, i know stupid. i just figured the shop guys in my area would try to sell me some SPKs or a pair of heavyweight somethings that'd i'd hate. I also got the boots in what feels like a half size too large (i can wiggle my toes but still touch the tip of the liner).
anyways, i've had subtle problem the entire time. some weekend they're perfect, others they act up but nothing like the past 2 weekends.
Now these past 2 weekends a few things happened. First, i got new skis (afterbangs), second i started doing front flips (half of which i land backseat), third i started buttering ALOT and skiing less and less in a normal sense. So with all these things in effect i came off my skis last saturday and could barely walk the next morning. So Dr. Am i in wrong boots (model wise or size wise) (which feel great 95% of the time) or do i just need to learn how to ski on a super flexy ski.
gimmie your thoughts even though i figure half of you are going to just tell me i should have gone to a boot fitter whenever i got my boots.
i'm sure i'm leaving out some details and if it's any help to the situation, i'm 150lbs on 177skis and a #6flex boot.
Grammer Nazi's welcome.
 
so you know for a fact that

1. your boots dont fit

2. your landing backsit

3. you butter all the time

and 4. you already have full tilts. looks like your legs are just fucked up. bummer bro
 
should be an interesting thread... none of the 14 year old trend whore's can say "Get Full Tilts, Bro"

try going to a boot fitter and don't ski backseat
 
it was completely landing backseat. didn't do a single fron flip this weekend and my shins feel awesome.
Gabe, i will fight you.
 
I think you need a skiing lesson. I'm being completely serious it seems like you are landing and riding backseat
 
threadjack!
been skiing some tecnicas for 3y now and since beginning of winter i get terrible shin bang, it's probably not my stance since i got it too while teaching and its worst on my right inside shin, are my boots worn out ?
the liners are coming loose in some spots and i can close the shell all the way, which leaves me to think that my linings have worn out and became very thin ....
