Hey,
so I just got my new scratches back from being set up. Im 128, 5'7 and i circled 3 as my skiier type. The dins are set to just under 8. On my old skis I rode them without having popping problems at 4.5. Im wondering if almost 8 is too high. Obviously I dont want them to come off rediculously easy but I still want them to come off if they have to. Will I be ok with 8 or should i lower it. In my mind i was thinking more 6.5-7ish

I'm 5'10, 130-140lbs and an aggressive skier, I ride with my DIN's cranked up to 8 or 10. Around there actually works pretty well, unless you suck balls or course.
