FKS 180

skithecanada · 2010-02-19 20:40:41

Hi I weigh 100 pounds and bought FKS 180. I think that the 10 din is too much for me, is there any way that I can make it lower?

They are 10-18. They are designed for people who ride their dins between 10 and 18. No, you cannot go lower.

You can send them to me, and I will try. But if I fail, I get to keep them.

The lowest DIN setting is 10, so no you can't get it any higher, go return them and get the 140s, cause they're cheaper and just as good.

I just talked to my mom and she is not letting me return them because she says I need to be taught a lesson.

Would wearing more layers to make myself weigh more help by making me heaviour?

First, answer me this...and answer honestly...did you buy them cause they were bright orange/you saw them at X-Games, cause there is an 18 DIN for a 100 pounder is ridiculous?

And, if your mom wont let you return them, I guess the only thing you can do is ride them at 10, and hope you don't blow out your knee, but if you do, you can say "I told you we should have returned them." Cause you can't turn the DIN down, and it's mostly boot sole length and height that say what DIN you should have (weight does matter, but certainly not enough to just wear more layers).

Well I was not sure what din i would need and the orange is pretty spiffy. Also alot of the pros use them so i thought that they must be good for anyone.

DIN actually works in reverse.
So technically, if you run it at 18, it's more like a DIN of 6. So I think you'll be fine.

What? They still made fun of you? Oh jesus this just isn't adding up?
What kind of skis do you have? Afterbangs? Antidogmas? Hellbents? I'm going to guess you also have Griffons. So it couldn't possibly be that.

Hmmmm.... Consider purchasing Fulltilts. Normally that lessens mocking. Or consider Saga, LDC, FD or any other ridiculously large outerwear. That will typically get you loads of respect.

I have saga pants but not the full suit?

You see I was only using my hellbents in the powder but my friends said I should use them full time in the park so I started doing that and people have started to make fun of me less.

Definitely invest in a Saga jacket. That will get you tons of internet points.

And Hellbents in the park seem like a great idea to gain a bit of props. People like you to be original, but not too original.

First of all, this thread is retarded. And secondly, the new FKS 180s and the old 185s both have din ranges that go down to 8...
