I was wondering if anyone had some ideas on how to prevent shinbang...

I have a pair of Salomon SPK's, and shinbang is still taking weeks off my ski season because the pain is too much.

If there's anything I can do, I'll do it, just make it stop!!!

Thanks again!
 
a good solution would be to move to an RCR resort where you wont be doing any jumps, therefore no backseat landings which equals no shinbang.
 
well you can run around kicking things with your shins to toughen them up. but if you dont wanna look like a retard then you can always take a ski pole and rub your shin with it. hold it and push down pretty hard onto your shin so it kinda hurts and just rub it up and down. this will make many micro fractures and then those frctures will scar over thus making your shin stronger thus giving you less shin band. oh and the best time to start this was like last week. so get going
 
Pretty hard thing to avoid completely. Just suck it up. A little shinbang never killed anyone, plus you usually dont feel it till the next day. Just man up.
 
shintronics work wonders, i dont think i could ski without them.

apparently full tilt boots work well too if they fit ya.
 
or buy good boots. i have lange freedride 120's they have abooter strap, i have not had a problem, but i might not be as "intense" as you on the shinbang catagory. :/
 
get boots that fit. forward pressure. seems like thats not stressed enough anymore these days. put rocks in the back of your boot if u need to to keep your wieght forward
 
lol, i cut up gel insoes for shoes halfway through the season last year, and put the 2 halves of gel insole on the tounge of your boot, inbetween you shin and touge.

it surprisingly worked wonders.
 
definitley get boots that fit good you dont want a boot that is too big or too small this worsens shinbang. my friend also says that he does foot raises to put more mussle around your shin bone so they dont bruise as easily.
 
check out the reviews on here (under resources) bishop reviewed some shintronic things that look like they could help...
 
BOOSTER STRAPS.

Why everyone doesnt have them is beyond me. They will elminate your shin bang woes. Promise.
 
Booster straps are s'posed to be good. i don't have any problem with shin bang cause my boots fit my legs really good for some reason.
 
yea, learn to lean foward when you land for sure. I used to get it so bad, so much that i couldnt lean foward into my boots any more, and i thought it was because they were to stiff. it got pretty bad so i went to see some one and it was cause i was leaning back to far especially on landings, and it stretches the shit out of your mucsles covering that bone and sometimes splints the bone. so i changed how i jumped, learnt to get myself more foward on jumps and it helped me progress my skiing a shit load too
 
get yall boots as tight as they go then make sure to have forward shin pressure. leave the backseat for the girlfriend.
 
wait, im confused. are you guys talking about landing backseat forward? I always get shinbang when I land backseat switch...
 
i get it from doin butters/nollies
anyone know how to fix this besides the obvious dont butter/nollie
 
my shins are hurting i could NOT ski right now and i have tried ibuprofen, booster straps, foam, eliminators, and i have spk boots that fit

my shins must be weak as fuck

shit blows
 
Yeah it's normal.

I used to have shinbang, but I tightened my boots as far as they'd go, and it didn't bother me anymore.

Tighten those bitches.
 
walk on your heels everyday for a hundred yards or so, builds up your shin muscles a ton. its also what you do to prevent shin splints, which i am assuming is very similar.
