So i have rossi freeski 110's from a few years ago on my afterbangs
The shop i go to set the DIN at 5
I am 120 pounds and 5' 4'' tall
and an aggressive skier
Whilst waiting for the opportunity to ski, I was carpet buttering in my basement
I leaned up onto my tips and did something similar a noseblock (standing on tips (correct trick name?)) and my bindings released and i fell onto my face
Is this normal?
Is he DIN high enough?

probably the forward pressure more than the din, but then again... WAIT A MINUTE!!!

thats because the shop's chart doesnt take into account nose presses and shit. your probably fine cause you wont be standing on your tips whilst skiing but you could always talk to the tech at your shop.

shops are required t set your din to what the din chart says. based on age weight, ability and boot sole length. give me your specs and i can tell you what your din is. ability is rated on a scale 1-3, one being beginner, 2 intermediate 3 advanced/expert. for instance im recommended at a 6.5 but ride at an 8.5. all you need to do is set it to where you want. shops cant because of liability but by all means you can put it to where ever you want.
