Well, one reason the boot could be pre-releasing is because the binding isn't adjusted right to your boot length. That happened to my friend once, and his binding would pre-release for no reason. It was because his boot wasn't fitted correctly. Check to see if the boot snaps in good and firm, and if you think there is the slightest movement at all, consider re-adjusting. Hope this helps, good luck.

yeah, def what he^ said, but also, do you mean you're just skiing along and they pop off or landing jumps, especially switch?

If you walk around in your boots alot/ they are old boots, the sole/ toe/heel may be worn down, so they prob need readjusting- take em to a shop, theyll do it for like 20$, plus tell if u if something is really wrong

re adjust them. this is a really obvious one, but make sure theres no snow in your binding. my friends skis kept popping off for no reason because he was dumb and didnt kick all the snow out of his bindings.

no im not a dumbass i make sure there is not snow in my bindings and check to make sure they snap in properly, but yeah i find they come off the most when i do like 270s off rails and landing switch... maybe the bindings need to be moved closer together, any other suggestions would be appreciated and thanks to the ppl that already helped out...

I had the exact problem with my bindings too! I had the S914s and had them set between 12 and 13 and they would fall off all the time. It's not anything you can do, its just the Solamon binding design. Get the Look Pivot bindings and you wont have any problems. I got the Look P14s and have them set at 8 and I've released only once all season when I shouldnt have. Compared to about 3 or 4 times a DAY on my Solamon S914s.

your exactly right, it is the salomon design, and thats why when they are adjusted correctly, the toe peice is one of the safest on the market. take em to your shop, thats your best bet. if you know what your doing, check forward pressure, toe height, and wing adjustment. if you dont know what i'm talking about, definately take them to a shop

maybe your boot sole is worn out. also, bindings work best with the boots they're designed for, ie Salomon boots with Salomon bindings with Salomon skis.

The toe has to be adjusted perfectly, but everytime you ride it, it goes out of whack. Dont buy Solamon bindings. They suck.

PocketRocketRipper, Salomon bindings do not work any better with salomon boots than other boots. its the simple fact that the way they were designed, if they are not adjusted properly, they dont work for crap. if they are set correctly, however, they work rather well.
