ok well this was the first day our big hit was open its like 35 ft but hey thats decent for NC. Neways i went up to the lip and was going to do a 3 and somehow i got off axis i spun around find landed backseat and cased it like a bitch. my ski popped off and i thought it was fine. i the realized that my toepeice on my rossi scrath bindings the part that pivots had rotade 90 degrees and was almost popped out. i thought i was screwed because i was gettin ready to head to austria with a broken binding. i went in got a screw driver and pride it until it snapped bak into place and now it is perfectly fine thank god this is just what happened to me today.

you got lucky. i thought you were gonna say something like your heel piece was jammed you in the but. Believe me, it hurts to get a dead ass from a binding

what you should've done instead of wasting time with a screw driver is given it a little kick, in my experience kicking a binding has never hurt it and it has solved that problem before on my old rossis
