SPKs... still got shinbang

boots arent tight enough, calves too small for the boot. Adjust the rear spoiler, other than that, i have no idea.
 
Sweet SPK's dood.

Blame it on the jumps or rails. Or the groomers, or the skis or bindings. Nuthin wrong with the boots mannnnn.
 
they never said it stops shin bang...they said "prevent" but yeh still listen to the peoples that answerd above me
 
You may think you're not riding backseat, but you are. You don't get shinbang from leaning forward.
 
yeah, unfortunately he is right. Shinbang occurs exactly how it sounds: your shin loses contact with the tongue or your boot and then bangs back into it, which causes bruising and soreness. Work on skiing more aggressively in a forward stance and landing forward.
 
I get shin problems because my calfs are wide at the top but get thin fast so if I get it tight enough at the bottom, I have no circulation, but it I can still feel my foot its too loose, but my boot fitter told me he would get me those rubber tongue inserts to take up some room, and I'm thinking about getting smaller liners
 
pretty much your best bet is to work out your legs and get them bigger, me and my brother both have the same size foot but he has skinny little legs and he gets shin bang alot worse then me because i have pretty thick legs

but booster straps are pretty much amazing as well and have really stoped alot of the shin bang problem he was having so you may want to invest in some booster straps if you plan on keeping your SPKs
 
i got a bit if bang last year in my foils. Ive grown alot, and my legs are bigger. We shall see this season what happens.
 
you seem to be the local boot expert, so do you know what aftermarket liners fit best with salomon x waves
 
i think that may be my problem too cuz if i tighten my boot up, my foot gets numb, so i cant tighten it all the way, hence my boot being too loose in the bottom section, therefore shinbang

what is the resolution for this?
 
my boot fitter said to give the rubber tongue inserts a try and if that doesn't work then il try booster straps, and if that doesn't work il try shintronics and if all else fails il get new boots
 
how would getting new boots make a difference unless the there was a boot that was thicker in the ankle area and/or bigger in the calf
