well this might sound stupid but it works for me...I take an ice cub and rub it up and down my shin 'till it is pretty much numb..let it get un-numb that reapeat a few times...try it if u want....I do it the night before I have to ski and the feel fine in the morning

yay skiing

 
I've heard that the 1080 boots are good for preventing shin bang.

i switched from lange gx9's to salomon xwave6's (slightly softer than 1080 boot) my shin bang is pretty much gone now.....it was something fierce with my lange's though - i literally couldn't touch small areas on my shins because the pain was so much.....took like three months to go away

i get the worst shin bang too. my boots are slightly big so they last a few years. they dont tighten all the way around my leg even with the buckles tightened all the way. some guy told me about www.theboosterstrap.com, i bought some, hopefully they work well

one of the top reasons for shin bang and shin splints is that the hairs on your shins are being pulled. thats why i shave my shins and ankles

no shit? I have race boots, and therefore shin bang, so this could be nice if it works. I remember there was this crazy Australian kid at my race camp a few summers ago, and he skied on Lange world cup stock boots two sizes too small (which are stiff as hell), and he shaved his shins because the hairs would just get pulled out, which would suck as well.

taht booster strap looks like a gimmick anyone tried it? i mean isnt it doing the exact same thing as the regular velcro 'power strap'

 
yea i figured shaving would be better than having patches of hair and bald pulled out spots

That must look pretty queer. If only I were that hardcore...

Havent you guys heard of tounge shims!?!?!?!? Take your boots down to you local shop and have them fabricate you some shims. They some foam with adhesive on the back and sand it down to form the shape of your tounge on your innerboot then they apply it. This fills up some of the excess space that cauases shin bang.

 
shaving works, i got it so bad one day my shins were bleeding, it was some of the worst pain i have had in my life. doctor said i should shave my shins and worked like a treat. just in summer i look like a goose at the beach. i have salmon x wave 8, awesome for the free ridin'.

why would shaving your shins have any effect on shin bang?

yah my shin bang has nothing to do with the hairs on my leg.....sure the hairs get pulled and it's annoying but if you go to the doctor because your little leg hairs are in pain then you're a pussy

gee... since all u do is little meesley threes... u shouldnt have such a problem... WOw! it says CORK 5 in your profile!!! I've seen u do that JON SO MANY TIMES!

haha jokes man

Those boots u have have no power strap.. U need to get one of those booster straps to throw on the outside.. it'll help

...:l i t t:..
 
you can't really get rid of it... its kinda always there. so mostly you just have to get used to it. sorry :(

#1 rule: Shinbang comes from landing in the backseat, not boots or hair on your legs. once you get shinbang, your boots surely can make it worse, but they are not the cause.

Well huck 1080 dont go rambo and buy a 1080 boot because I sudgested it, they are very expensive so take that into consideration.

Take one of those large armband sweatbands and put in around the owie, This is a pretty cheap way, IB profin works good too

Here is how it works with shin bang you get it three ways.

number one slamming the front of your boot even a soft boot will hurt you if you do it all day.

number to pulling the muscle connected to the bone. this is how I think you are doing it. by landing in the backseat you pull on the muscles located around your shin. you bruise them and then they hurt like hell. This is how I hurt my shins.

number three pull the hair out of your leg again bruises your skin and muscle even though you cant see it. Most racers will shave their legs to avoid this problem.

on hill solutions get a girl to buy you 2 maxi pads and put them in your boots if they samrt to hurt. sounds stupid but it will get you through the day.
