Quick DIN Question.

Hey, so I am 6'5" 200 lbs. I got a brand new pair of Armada ARV's, 185 cm with Look FX 15 racing bindings. The shop set my DIN @ 9.5 in front and back ... then when I took them in the park yesterday my left ski released on me at least 7 times when I threw a 360, and also when I did a 270 onto a rail it just came right off. I am thinking that I need to crank up the DIN and I was wondering how much is good without being unsafe. Someone on the mountain told me 11-12 but I figured I would check here.

You kinda just have to figure it out for yourself, but crank it .5 and ski for a while and ski how much you pre-release, then crank another .5 (same thing), and keep doing that until you no longer pre-release, or until you think it's no longer safe for your legs.

Also, check forward pressure, this is the answer to 90% or more of pre-release problems.
