The Eliminator shin protection

[SNPskier]

Hey Just wanted some feedback before i buy. how well do these things work?http://www.masterfitenterprises.com/eliminator.html thnx +k for help

 

[LAME.]

Ive been thinking of making somthing very similar for the longest time.

 

[SNPskier]

anybody have them?

 

[Captain_Slow]

seems a little uncomfortable, I just use booster strap which works for me..

 

[SNPskier]

i have the boosters but i still get from just a day of skiing

 

[mrmarks]

careful... that will do nothing for shin bang. looks like that prevents shin bite(?) from overbuckling?? never really had that problem...

 

[hawaiiansteeze]

do you land backseat alot?

 

[hawaiiansteeze]

do you land backseat alot?

 

[SNPskier]

all the time

 

[wintersway]

well theres your problem

 

[natyy]

i used to use those...they worked but were pretty bulky

 

[SNPskier]

well obvi i cant stop landing backseat. im asking if these things work or not.. anyone else use them?

 

[emilyskis]

"Snug cuff fit for skiers and riders with thin

calves who max out their buckle settings"

looks like you should just get better boots?

they look a little silly to me, but then again i never used them so i can't really say much

 

[tbayskier]

you can reduce it fairly easily

 

[SNPskier]

^how so?

 

[undercover_skier]

do you play tennis , hockey or soccer, it's the same stance

how long have you been skiing ? that could be the probleme too !!!

 

[SNPskier]

well im not a gaper. iv been sking since i was 7 and compete weekly. does anyone here actually own these things.

 

[tbayskier]

welllll....from what i have experienced, i don't get shin bang, and i have neither a booster strap or this eliminator thing. I just ride with a fairly forward stance, and don't backseat afterbang/wheelee bang landings. As long as I keep good shin pressure I have no problems.

 

[SNPskier]

understood that landing backseat gives you shinbang. but i already have it and im looking for a way to keep it undercontrol... not landing backseat is basically impossible to do for a whole day while actually jumping. Ex fronts or any flat landings.

 

[Gharf]

landing switch and poping with a forward stance when doing 3 and 7 did the trick for me.

 

[Doug.]

I got those a couple years a go from a friend kind of as a joke. They do like nothing to prevent shinbang, but if you already have it they can help you ski without pain.

I never use them unless i have really bad shinbang.

 

[SNPskier]

worth buying for 20$?

 

[soup]

dude. mousepads do the exact same thing, are only 3-5 bucks, and you can get them in all kinds of crazy colours. just buy two, cut them to fit, and your good to go did it last year works like a charm.

 

[SNPskier]

+k

 

[tbayskier]

solid advice

 

[Flying~Squirrel]

beer coozies work well also, just cut out the round bit in the bottom and unroll them.

 

[SNPskier]

good call thnx

 

[Mculla11]

full titlts bro. theyll fix the issue and if they dont put booster straps on the full tilts. if u still get shin bang i dont know what will work

 

[Kervyn]

my friend has them they just take up space, dont really help

 

[Shenanigans]

I used them last year and they helped a little, I found that adding a heel-lift will help a ton more

 

[SNPskier]

sooo full tilts are the way 2 go it looks

 

[peyton]

honestly if you have shin bang just rest/take it easy till it goes away then shred hard.. it makes everything easier and u will end up skiing more

 

[monkatizer]

 

[LARd.]

What I do when I get shin bang is I ski switch for a weekend and dont hit any jumps helps alot. Also you can wrap your shins when you are not skiing with ACE bandages really tight.

 

[Mculla11]

yea yea full tilts. every one thats has them that I ride with says they will never ride in another park boot than full tilts

 

[SNPskier]

k thnx guys def gonna try the ACE thing hopefully itl work itself out

 

[jreilly]

honestly i didnt really think they would be better. found a sweet deal and all the talk is true.

 

[bryansbryan]

honestly, some people get shin bang easier than others so its useless listening to these morons thinking their personal experience is going to be the same for everyone else. you'll always land backseat because everyone does. its impossible to avoid and if booster straps aint helping, try whatever you can to fix it because shin bang is completely unique to every person. good luck.

 

[Shredability]

When you do up the "power strap" tighten it on the actual tongue of the boot rather then teh plastic part

 

[SNPskier]

Good call my friend
