DIN question

im 6 foot 135 pounds and pretty agressive skiier. i have the rossi power 100 bindings (the ones with the pivots also known as the scratch 100's) now ive heard that these bindings can have high DIN's and still release during a twisting fall. if this is so should i crank my DIN's up to like 9 or ten even? im shying away from ten becase it puts a lot of stress on a bindings springs and mechanisms if its maxed out. im lookin at like 8 or 9. what do you think, is this alright?

umm, id say about 8, but i have different bindings. you can kindof test them out by putting pressure on your bindings from different angles with boots in your skis. If they pop out just tighten them, but 10 sounds too high for 135.....depnds on how you ski though...

just dont crank em to 14 like i did with my 810s. that fall really hurt and im lucky i still have my legs and knees. (no im not a complete moron, i cranked the dins as a temporary solution to getting my bindings fit to my boots. ok ya, moronic idea)

throw them away, steal a salomon downhill racer's setup with the 26 Din binding, crank them down and those skis will never come off!

I'm not even going to say what I think....DIN is a scary thing if you fuck it up.....you leg may never be the same....At only 135lbs I'd be SURPRISED to see that ski prereleasing. Take it to a shop and they can test it, your springs could be shot.

ok like nobody gave me a coherant answer. i have brand new scratch 100 bindings people. the DIN only goes up to 10, i bought those rather than the 140's because i only weigh 135 pounds. but ive heard that you can crank the DIN's up high on these bindings because they have the pivot heel which allows the bindings to release during a twisting fall even if the stress is minimal to the binding. I dont want to hear about salomons and shit. Im talking about these bindings with this technology im wondering about. and i ski pretty agressively as well. i dont want them comin off on a 50 foot table backseat landing so now what do you think?

Why don't you just leave it where the shop sets it unless you have a problem where the ski releases prematurely. I have Power 120 (same binding but different DIN range) and I have mine on 7 or 8, but I ski hard and weigh 185 lbs.

If you REALLY wanna put your DIN at 8 you could get away with it...but it seems CRAZY considering you're only 135lbs (plus you'll get about 1 year out of those bindings). Sounds like you bought the wrong binding (no offense), You need something like the Look P10/P12, with that binding you could set your DIN properly (probably 5 or 6) and you won't prerelease.

If you're landing back seat on 50 footers you need to realease my man.....your bindings ARE doing what they're made to do. Once again I'm going to post the SACRED DIN chart, please look at it and determine where YOU should be, not where you THINK you should be. Start where it says you should start, then move up from there AFTER you try what it says...don't move more than a setting at a time.

Save your pennies and buy a binding made for jumping and set the DIN where it should be...

I'm 6' 180 extremely aggressive skier, I have my DIN for two of my three pairs set at 8/8.5...

The DIN chart:
http://kofa.as.arizona.edu/skiing/markerDIN.html

If you don't know what that stuff means or how to read the chart...or even need to figure out how to read the chart STOP what you're doing and go to a tech. Remember that you add/subtract settings depending your ability.

I'm about your size, same bindings. Mine are at 7, when I first got em mounted they were at like 5, then I raised em to around 6, then I was having some problems with prereleasing and the tech said they should be at 7. Haven't had any problems since then.

i am 6'1' 180 and my bindings are set at about 9 and i have popped out every time i feel like i would have fucked my knee up if i hadn't come out. you weigh less than me so 8 would probly work good but if you don't trust a tech set them lower (i.e. 6 or 7) to be safe and if you find yourself popping out too much then just tighten them up a little.

just continue to tighten them by half or a whole din, until you think you have gotten to where it feels comfortable, and safe for your knees/ankles
