Soo my Friend Cory Zila was in Norway for the last stop on the world qualifying tour.he  called me this morning and told me this story...
. he was sitting in 4th spot and had to get top 29 out of the 100 field to qualify for next years world tour (not ifsa the real new world tour)

soo they made them hike this massive face and cory ran 97th out of 100 people... and had to site there for 4 hours.. soo he does his run then drops abot a 50 foot plus air lands and his ski  comes off he eats shit and almost slides into a crevasse .. and died.... well 2 or 3 hours latter he looks at his bindings... some one has changges the din setting from 17  all the way to the lowest setting.... soo he crashes.. gets 30th place. just missing out on qualifying for next years world tour ( he got 5th on world qualifying tour only top 4 made it) soo some one sabitaged his ski.. so he wouldnt qualify.. hence risking his life... I never thought in a millon years shit like this happened .. what would have happend had he had fell in the crevasse and dies casue some asshole fucked with his skis?? if we cver catch who did this.. dam hes gonna get beat down.. what do you guys think ? has any one else seen ,heard or had sabitage happen to there skis while competing or is this a 1 off thing? I could imagine it happening in Alpine .. but big mountain.. your putting your life on the line skiing gnarl shit who the fuck has the nerve to mess with peoples equipment?

I wonder what they are filming for...
Should be dope whatever it's going to be, but, what does MTV have to do do with skiing? At all?

  This sounds eerily similar to the "Cool Runnings" plot...cue the swedish asshole with the shit eating grin, turtle neck, and screwdriver.  Also, this does seem like an outrageous covert claim..."My Friend...this is the guy I usually ski with...blah blah"

shiiiit son...thats absurd. ive heard of it happening in racing since racers and racer parents are usually more asshole-ish than big mountain people at least from my experience....i was going to suggest that maybe during the fall the din got messed up, but that seems super unlikely...hopefully karma will get whoever did that...and note to self: check din before dropping in...

thats really unfortunate, not only for him but also for our sport as a whole, skiing is one of the few places where everyone is stoked on everyone else. people are stoked when some one skis well, does something amazing or just kills it over all, even if it means that they beat them at a comp. This is a terrible thing to happen. For someone to actually go out of their way to sabotage a skier. Any one involved in the world tour knows the power of the mountains. to actually go and make it so a fellow skier is more likely to fall and harm himself is unbelievable.

I am blaming the KGB.

i dont want to see video of someone messing with his dins i want to see video of the final round.


one thing i dont get too if he is sitting in 4th place and he needs to get top 29, and hes like the thrid to last person to go, why the fuck would he be launching a 50 footer......i think at that point you just need to cross the finish line with your gear to get a spot on the tour.

Wow. If any of you have ever been around the big mountain comps, you'd know that the community of skiers is so strong. Basically everyone is friends with everyone. Generally, everyone is stoked on his or her competitors skiing. There is no way someone would deliberately fuck with someone's gear, especially since they all know the consequences of falling. They all got a reality check with that at the Alyeska comp, and last year at another world tour event. I'm sorry this happened to your friend, but no one fucked with his shit. But, I would like to hear why you think someone was after him, and only him.

10 isnt high at all.

I ride 13 DIN in backcountry and I pop out all the time, and I guarantee you that Cory rips a hundred times harder than I do in BC.

How big are you?  You're bindings are not set right if you "pop out all the time" on a 13 din, unless you're a giant.

I would bet a grand that nobody fucked with his din.  We will never know.  How could you come on here spraying someone fucked with his din when you really don't know?

I'm 5'8", 145 lbs, and have a 26.5 boot. I had them mounted and adjusted by a certified shop but kept coming out regardless, so I cranked them down a bit. It's not like I pop out doing nose butters or little drops, I mean I have to be skiing close to as hard as I can in order for this to happen, but still...17 DIN for a big mountain skier in no way suprises me. I would be scared out of my mind to drop into a big mountain line on anything but a DIN that high.

What kind of bindings do you ride?  For a guy your size to pop out of that high a din, your bindings must either suck or you send it harder than anyone I've ever seen.  I've got a buddy whose brother is like 6'3''-6'4'' and like 180 lbs and he doesn't come out of his axial2's at like a din of like 12 I believe.  And he skis hard.

this reminds me of the episode of rocket power when the evil kid loosens the wheel on otto's skateboard and it falls off in the race, sorry to bring that up but that episode has stuck in my mind since i watched it when i was like 7, it's a sick show

anywho, that dude's a dick for doing that, fuck people like whoever did that. it's a shame this world has become so that people resort to that kind of shit in order to be on top, fuck, this gets me angry, i've been drinking green tea all day, i'm fucking pumped!!!!!!!

IT HAPPENED END OF STORY... you can bitch and cry all you want that people are a family and that it never would happen in our beloved sport of big mountain skiing but it did... just casue you think you know every single person that skis big mountain doesnt mean it didnt happen.. People are Cunts .. and some one did it  deliberately becasue there scared of his potential...as a skier.

and assuming you know everything.. "like im sorry this didnt happen to your friend" is plain retarted.. shit like this happens in every sport...

i dont think that was what he meant... i just think he meant to say that when an american goes to norway to ski a comp its pretty serious, it takes a lot of money and commitment... (as opposed to a family comp in the states where its pretty mellow)

so where is video....theres gotta be video its a big comp....

i completely agree with julie.

13 in the backcountry, you are in the backcountry, why are you A. using dukes or B. trying to huck on naxos......U you know how shitty it would be to get hurt in the backcountry????

ever hear of dynafit? max din 10 . and its the most trusted binding in SKIING. mountaineers use dynafits. people who ski everest and denali use dynafits. situations you deffenately cant lose a ski and the conditions are probably gnarly.  they deffenately dont use 916's, or any of those other big din bidnigs the bros use, because those bindings can pre release. or you can flex out of your binding if you land bacseat.

haha and your first post said he CALLED YOU TO TELL YOU THIS........your last post just said here is what he wrote in my facebook.... if he has already called you to make you feel important to tell you this, why would he then have to write it back to you in your face book. you are an unreliable source of any kind of information.

if this really happened, it shouldn't be too hard to narrow it down to a few suspects. who benefited from him not finishing 29th the most? so, who qualified ahead of him? or was close in the points race?

thank you for actually responding to the thread. ,and contributing to the site  and the disccusion in a postive way.. narrowing it down.. wouldnt be that hard, proving that  the person did it ,is another thing.. but in the end 2 wrongs dont make it right .. all im curious and what THE whole point of this thread was to ask wether it had happened to other people. then little dicked homos like douche bag above started talking shit and it went every which way.. as for the name dropping thing ,.. i really dont care what one person on an internet site thinks about me... never have never will.  i just wanted to have a discussion about what had happened... its a  forum .. anyways thanks again for all of the content you guys have thrown my way. insightful none the less. if it happens in racing , and it happens in moguls i guess it happens in big mountain too.

as for bringing up bull shit from 8 years ago that didnt even happen in that way, i spewed 1 time.. not all over a room.. i would now like to see video of you doing 10 shots in a row.,of tequila and not puke?

I didn't really have an opinion on Cory Zila before this. But after hearing that he is going to Burning Man maybe this was a justified action. Maybe one of the competitors heard him talking about burning man and was so pissed he dropped his din. He probably thought the world would praise him for 1 less hippy.


And also why change the toe piece din? He would be far more apt to see that than changing the heel piece din. Maybe this didn't happen and he is making up answers for not making the world tour, and is still trying to get maximum travel money from his sponsors.

I've had a binding fuck up on me like that. No one touched it, it was just normal riding and stomping shit. Overtime I would have a din of 10 then it it randomly just pop off to 4.5. Did this happen to your friend, who knows, but it does happen. I'm sorry for his shitty situation and wish it never happened, but it could just be the binding. I hope it was anyway, bc it takes some dickness to pull a move like that (fuckin' with others equipment)

thats strange...I always see big dudes using p12s or whatever and they seem to ski fine without any problems. Jordan Seldin uses 912s and he goes huuuuuge. Meanwhile, my 135 lb. older brother does a nosebutter and double ejects on a 14 DIN. weird.

At first I thought it just must be me, but everybody else my size has the same problem and use FKS 185s for everything.

I ride FKS 155s by the way. I'm sure if I rode an FKS 185 I could rock a lower DIN without any problems.

you would have to need giant balls of steel to walk up to someone elses equipment and start cranking on the bindings, but it is a big mountain contest so there are plenty of people who fit that description! People are going to see you, so someone out there saw something unless he skis were left in some secluded area, we need more details to construct a better scenario!! But its completely ridiculous to simply point the finger at everyone who finished infront of the poor guy, start some conspiracy rumors. No reason to believe it didnt happen but no need to be a huge dick to people who raise doubt about it.

There is a language barrier there. Fistfight in Australian means he wants to blow you in English.
