Shin pain during tricking sessions.

[Rize]

I was wondering if anyone else was familiar with and/or had experienced it.

After some tricking sessions, generally ones where Im drilling aerials and to an extent 540s, although not as much anymore....After about 30 minutes my shins start to ache just above the ankle on the inside of my leg. They are tender to the touch and it feels like muscle bruising.

I've been using sting mats lately to h elp with this. Is this something derived from landing a certain way? Any insights would be appreciated.

Shin splints maybe from the repetitive landing on weak muscles, runners and stuff get it from jogging. I think their typical advice is to rest it from the repetitive activity, strengthen the muscles (dogen's titanium ankle stuff is pretty much designed for this) and maybe address any form issues you may be having or changing the way you land. This is just going off the top of my head, so theres a good chance I'm wrong.
