Binding trouble

your height and weight is only part of it. It also depends on how you ski. The settings from the shop are artificially low. This is because lawyers and insurance companies rule the world and they dont want anybody getting sued. Fuck them. They dont know shit about skiing. Keep cranking your DIN till your skis stay on in all but the worst falls. When you are landing fakie and hittin big jumps you want your shit to stay on. You already found out that a pre-release can do more damage than a ski staying on. My bindings are at 11. They come off maybe 10 or 12 times year when I REALLY need them too. The thing is, you generally know when you are going to fall and can brace for it and fall so skis stay on but dont tweek your legs. When you pre-release, you have no warning and eat shit and get hurt. All i know is I have never injured my knees and all I do is ski trees and sesh booters. My 25 cents.

i'm about that weight. I have mine at 6. They don't fall off much. I'd just keep cranking up the setting until it doesnt fall off in stuff like that.

My girlfriend told me to shove my skis up my ass

set mine at 9. they still come off.

crank them up to about nine, they wont fall off then

Hey, after you take a crap and wipe your butt and then go to wash your hands, do you guys turn on the faucet with your wipe hand or the other one?

The NS Festival at Blue was great! Lots of fun..

I have mine at six. Mine are fine, they only come off when i really need them to come off. My friend, who is my same size, weight, and skill level, had his at 9 and his were always coming off. He also had salomon bindings, not markers or anything. The trouble was the gap between his heel and the rear binding. Mine are set so there's no gap at all. His gap was at least 2 notches too big, so i took a flathead and fixed it right there. His are workin fine now, and he turned down his dins. I think that may be your problem

'Is Butterbean okay?'

That is called forward pressure.. it is on almost all bindings and is a major culprit of pre-release. You have to find out how to adjust it and it helps a ton. On most bindings the screw that you adjust the length for the boot is supposed to be flush with the end. It's kind of hard to explain with out showing... but if you have a local shop ask them. I had the same problem and had them adjust the foward pressure and it helped a lot.

mine are at 10, and they dont really come off at all, which is good... and lookin at a pair of old shitty skis that i was on some of last year, they were set at 3, and thats why they popped off soooo easily
