hey i am 5'6 and 125 lbs, and the DIN i use for park is 7, but i might get some p18s, where the lowest DIN is 8, i'm pretty sure it'll be ok, except i wana be able to eject when i fall hard...anyone in my situation?

I wouldn't get p18's if I were you, i'd sell them for some p10's. you definately don't need a minimum of 8 on the little jumps, and boxes you do.

what bindings are you using that you're pre-releasing on???
a p18 would be a heavy overkill, but if they're free, then it is understandable. If you are still growing, they wouldn't be a bad investment

If you can get them free, sell them. If you want the turntable heel and bomber construction but with a lower DIN, get Rossi 155.

agreed.

You aren't supposed to be running a din at its lowest setting too.

and the bindings you are in, rossi axium, suck.

You will not have prerelease problems with a p12 or p14.

You want the DIN right in the middle of the range on your bindings so the springs do not wear too quickly, and if they are at the bottom of the range then it is easy to not release early enough.
