I used to get shin bang all the the time cuz i was using these ghetto rear entrys, then last year i got 1080's thinking they'ed be good, for the first 2 months (when i skied mostly rails) they were pretty much fine, but then they turned on me and I had the worst shin pain imaginable, and i mean like my seg was shaking and shit when it got real bad and when I landed back seat once my ski week was done. I though something was up but instead of seeing a doc buz i figured hed know shit all i went to physio, so that kinda help but only cuz i didnt ski for 3 weeks while i was doing it. 3 Months later after many comps where I only did one jump refused ot take the second, i went to the doc and he said i needed a bone scan. So i took the scan (where they inject you with radio activ dye and the dye after a few hours goes into any craacks or fissures in ur bones) and when he told me the results i asked if i could see the xrays of teh bone scan and a perfect oval shape on my shins where they hurt was completely white (affected area). so basicly he say my leg was patially broken 9the fornt of my fibula had stress fractures a little over a cm deep) so that sorta explained teh pain............ BAM if this sounds like what any of you have see ur doc or you will get fucked, its been 6 months 6 ENTIRE MONTHS (beginning) of last may thats i havent SKIED,TRAPOLNED, DIVE INTO WATER, RUN ,HIKE HARD, JUMP INTO WATER, DO ANYTHING PHYSICAL EVEN MOST GYM EXCERSIZES, and absolutely anythnin else thats fun so go see ur doc....
