If you don't know how to set your dins, go to a shop and ask. They have a chart that'll let you know the 'recommended' setting. Then go from there. If they are falling off too much, take em up a notch.

Don't think just jump.

are you any good? do you do big tricks? if you don't do too much, you'd be fine with like a 6.5 or 7 or something. but if your skiing steeper terrain and doing bigger jumps, go up to like a 9 or 10. i have mine at 9

yeah, good call. but at 6 if you really pull a mute, the ski will come right off. just ask kevin (lovetoski84)

something around an 8 din is ideal. and a 177 ski length is fine.
