Ok, so for several years now, my shins always hurt after skiing.

I try to do up my boots tight, but my shins still always hurt... Any tips? I just got new boots that have softer parts around shin area, you think that will help?
 
i ahve pretty bad probs with my shins. booster straps dont help if its shin pain from landing backseat. like Tingas Hats up there ^^^^^^^^^^ stuff like kickboxing really helps your shins.
 
I had that too. What ended up being a problem is just the way your shin rests on the tongue. My tech heated the foam in the tongue and flattened it a bit, then actually cut some out. It's worked wonders so far. If that doesent work, full tilts will. The trend started for a good reason, but alot of it is style now. They've got such a natural feel to them that it almost feels un natural. Btw I have tecnicas. I've skiied in full tilts for a week though
 
do up your boots as tight as they will go without cutting of circulation. boots that properly fit can completely eradicate shin bang. also, when it comes time to buy new boots, get a boot fitter to do it for you
 
I was skiing with two people today who were wearing Full Tilts...and *gasp* they had shin bang.

But really...go to a legit boot fitter and buy boots that fit and don't buy boots because they look cool.
 
That and boot makers can mess up sometimes. On alot of boots the foam gets too thick, too fast at the bottom. All this season it felt like someone was BBQing my shins until my tech did that
 
No...please learn to spell maybe...and I don't know what the T Wall Full Tilt comment had to do with anything.

But...No matter how good your boot fits if you land backseat a bunch you WILL get shin bang...there is no magic cure for this. But getting boots that fit and seeing a boot fitter who knows what he is doing is a good step to preventing shin bang from occurring when you are just regularly skiing.

Go to a bootfitter and get fitted. Heat mold your boots. get booster straps. Ice your shins. In the off season work out your shins with some excercises at your local weight room. Drink lots of milk. DONT LAND BACKSEAT! although it will inevitably happen!
 
what i did last year when i had shin bang was when ever i was home just stand up and flex forward with no boots on putting as much pressure on my shins as possible and it seemed to really help the shin bang. also massaging them, just any form of irritating your shins without causing excruciating pain will seem to strengthen them and relieve the pain in the long run.
 
What I do to help recover from shinbang is put icy hot gel on it then compression wrap it with that foam take stuff that you can get at sporting goods stores and hockey tape
