If you want to prevent the shin bang I would recommend some full tilt boots, if you are looking to buy boots too.

Dude shut up and don’t recommend boots online because you have no idea if the thing will fit his foot, plus Full Tilts don’t magically solve shin bang for everybody

Please explain to me how to fix this then, because I also get shinbang every year.

Landing/skiing rough terrain in the back seat is the usual cause.

OP did your vishnus get run over or something? Why couldn't you go back and get them. The Liberty Helix 88 is a sick pure park ski. Symmetrical sidecut and lively skis.
 
I second this. Liberty are very fun in the park, but not in a swerve way

Sounds like maybe you would like something more traditional, OP. Maybe look into ARV96, poacher, chronic, etc, or maybe the Reckoner 102s are the key.

Even if you don't think you're boots are too big/too packed out, they probably are. If they aren't, then refining technique will be your friend as you're landing backseat too much.

This. I wear 11.5 shoe and the correct size ski boot for me is 27.5 which translates to 9.5 US

Maybe it's this and I just don't want to admit it to myself.

I was night skiing very dark and on curve very fast trucks super sketchy not worth it and the roof rack broke and i decided to get edollos do you know what ski they're relatable too a friend spoke highly even tho he sponsored by k2 and i was gonna get helx 98 and the guy said not good park ski i was suprised.
 
The roofbox review of the helix 98 was pretty good. Plus, a bamboo core is usually pretty fun.

Well if you got e Dollos, you’ll have a good time. It’s popular for a reason. Why so rushed?

went to store go back to get boot store bout to close and didnt do a lot of research and the guy said those are a bad park ski
 
Oh I thought you meant you’re in a rush now.

Well I’m roughly your size and I’ve been loving the Line chronic. The energy and pop with the softness of the tips and tails just makes it ridiculously fun. It is very easy to ski, has a lot of pop, and yet still has some forgiveness. Plus, the price isn’t bad.

I said Helix 88, which used to be the transfer, but the 98 is good in the park too.
 
If you hit rails then get volkl revolts in 87 or 95. My brother loves his revolt 104s in the park but you might not want skis that wide.

if you dont hit rails then u can get 2020 head caddies or framewalls for 300$
