Hey,

My shins are always getting briused everytime I go out and launch jumps. Especially If I land in the back seat. I got salomon 1080 boots and its still happening. I usually ride in NY, so it sucks, but I got to go to UTAH for a week. So I was dropping some nice cliffs, and one day I got the courage for a 35 fter, I landed and exploded into powder and bruised the SHIT out of my shins, since then it's been bad after eveytime I do a 360 or just land a little back on the jump. The 1080 boots might be a lttle big for me because they packed in, so I'm going to try a size smaller next time. But still I don't think it will help, I also wanted to try the salomon Performa 7.0 boot. I tryed one on and they flex nice and they have good padding. So i'm wondering if I need a softer boot?? I figured the 1080 boot was soft enough. or Maybe the smaller size will help. Any INFO would be great. Thanks

 
OK, something's not right with the fit so looking for new boots is a good idea. In the meantime, try wrapping the powerstrap only around the liner behind the front cuff of the shell. This will tighten up the fit between your shin and the liner.

This photo gives you an idea of what I'm talking about:

Hope this helps.

 
^yea, but a booster strap still doesnt save ya from the dreeded pain of landing in the back seat.

The point is ladies and gentlemen that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of it's forms - greed for life, for money, knowledge - has marked the upward surge of mankind and greed - you mark my words - will not only save Teldar Paper but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.
