Baller shoeskiman Posted August 27, 2021 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2021 Does anyone know the best way to protect the rear shin from the release lever? I've been watching the IWWF U17 trick prelims and finals and notice quite a few wearing what looks like a soccer shin guard on the rear leg. Also any resources for building skills toward larger trick run points (for old man skier.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Broussard Posted August 27, 2021 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2021 Lots of shin guards with duct tape or electrical tape to keep the guard in place. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Jmoski Posted August 27, 2021 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2021 Yep - soccer shin guard (cut off the ankle protector) with a neoprene spray leg protector over it to hold in place. It’s not the release lever that bites you, it’s the heel block on the back of the hardshell that can get you on an OTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ral Posted August 27, 2021 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2021 It is not from the release lever, but from the back of the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller OKSkier Posted August 27, 2021 Baller Share Posted August 27, 2021 Yes @ral is right. The damage to the rear shin comes from the plastic block attached to the rear of the front boot. After just about needing stitches, I also wear a shin guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Marco Posted August 28, 2021 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2021 Spray sleeve with a hard shin guard inserted inside on the rear leg. Speaking from experience. 16 + stitches before using the guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller BlueSki Posted August 28, 2021 Baller Share Posted August 28, 2021 You can also use a footless compression sock for the calf. Less cumbersome than a neoprene rash guard and equally effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
