has that happened to anyone? This winter i went in a huge kicker, too huge for me throwing a spin over it. I knew that my older brother was standing up there and i wanted to show him a real mute grab. I pulled it hard and the binding opened. That had hurt! Faceplant.
I weigh 70 kilos and the binding indicated the Z-value 8.
THose Rossi-bindings are the shit.

Z-value? I'm confused... a bigger booter should be easier to spin off. But no... I can't say that's happened to me... my rossis don't prerelease.

He said 70 kilos. That's about 150lbs.

the number in your bindings. Some people also call it the kilos of the binding. Yeah, bigger kicker, easier spin, but i am not too confident with my 3s

That has happened to me plenty of times, it is basically the way u tweaked ur mute grab. If you pull it sideways hard enough ur boot might come out of the binding. Ways to prevent this from happenign is to make sure your wings are tight and the downward pressure on ur boot is good. Also make sure your din isnt too low

dudes don't be so harsh, this has nothing to do with him sucking, either his bindings suck or his din is set too low but it's not his fault. That happened to me back in the day when I had some shitty ass old salomon bindings that I later found out had been recalled. There is nothing worse than being way the fuck up in the air tweaking out a grab and realizing that you're grab is a little too tweaked

ah, the z value... flashback to statistics class... i think you need the mean population value, the sigma standard deviation, and um... a margin of error... it was a few months ago... oh wait... you mean the din setting... sheesh. you had me all turned around.

does anyone remember the last year the x-games were at crested butte? moseley was doing his dinner roll shit, grabbin mute, and he ripped his ski off twice during practice. he ended up taking out some wood post with his ass and had to be all doped up on pharmies to compete. it made me laugh.
