What's shinbang?

I used the search bar, and from what I concluded, it happens when you land too far backseat.

I did that yesterday, and my quads really hurt, but when I woke up today and walked, I felt it mostly around my ankle.

But my question is, where do you actually feel shin bang in your shins? And if you land backseat, how would that happen.

That was kind of unclear, but I hope you guys can help.
 
Shin bang you feel in your shins and is mostly caused by pressure points in your boots. Ankles pain would probably be from boots fitting incorrectly. Quads being sore is often from when you aren't used to skiing as hard as you did such as the start of the season or first pow day
 
Shin bang occurs when you land backseat and your shins are forced into the front of your boots at a high rate of speed. It makes you bang your shins and can cause bruises and other shit.

What you are feeling in your quads is just sore muscles.
 
shinbang occurs if you land backseat off jumps accidentally, it happens because your shin is pressed into the front of the boot, creating pain afterwards. It is essentially a bruise in your shins.
 
your entering a world of boot problems now...

make sure the top of your boot is as tight as possible to your shin, putting the power strap on under the plastic tounge and or adding booster straps will help.

if there is still a gap, get boot fitted and add some foam.
 
shinbang happens when you land backseat and the muscles connecting to your bone in the shin tear. it can also happen if you land and slam the front of your shins into your boot
 
I don't understand people are staying it's when you land backseat which forces your shins into the front of your boots?! How does that even make sense? When you land backseat it's your calfs which get pressed into the back of your boots! I think shin bang is when you land bak seat and you stretch the muscles in your shin due to the strain it puts them under being backseat!
 
Shinbang is commonly when the muscle right on your shin gets inflammed, and because it is such a small delicate muscle, that inflammation pushes up against nerves. Thus causing pain. The one im mentionning is caused by landing backseat.
 
this can happen too, It happens to me all the time but the calf muscle provides cushion for it usually. The shins get way more pressure especially when your boots aren't tight and you don't have the heel locked in place. hope this helps
 
When you land too far back seat, your muscles pull, or tear away from your shin a bit, thus causing shin splints, or as skiers refer to it as shin bang.
 
when your shins bang

creating shin babies, which, when produced inside an already crammed ski boot, cause pain to your shins.
 
Shinbang is a way of life. The bane of all skiers.

Unless you have tiny narrow-ass feet that fit into fulltilts in which case i envy you.
 
It kinda sucks because I bike, and your always waking your shins with your pedals. So basically I have shinbang year round. Its a lifestyle now.
 
I was getting sore shins (not shinbang) just by skiing groomers and the pressure placed up against the shin by the boot tongue when slaying. I think even in the best fitting boots this will happen. At the beginning, if there was pain, I'd call it a day and use traumeel creme after skiing and that night. The next day I'd ski a bit longer until there was pain again and then go inside. After a few days my shins had adapted. The key is to not ski in pain, not break the skin, and give the shins a chance to heal. Not sure if this is shinbang because there was no bang, but it was pretty bad. At least shins can heal and strengthen: heel, instep or ankle has less muscle covering so the boot shouldn't stress those areas too much ideally.
