You shouldnt be able to rotate the heel with you boot in... If your boot isnt clipped in, just muscle through it.

Ya that happens to me too. Like the heel piece stays up after taking my boot out.

Its something ive learnt to live with. Not really a big deal.

Ya it is annoying for sure.
I have gotten good at taking them off. You will get used to it. If you push down perfectly with your ski you can get it to stay down. Without having to use your hand.

Dont know if that made any sense.

Never had this problem, but i know a lot of other people do, i just step on them, take my boot out, and make sure it doesn't pop up. Not sure why min are so nice to me, but it sweet, and if this is a really big deal to you, i'd be willing to take them off your hands.

I get out of all my dildo-heel bindings (Pivots, Jesters) by lifting the ski up and pushing the heel down with my hand, then I use my boot to squash the other heel. Works at 10 DIN, dunno how it'll go if I go up much further.

I'm a stepper, my left ski always gets scratched to hell behind the heed because the other ski edge lands on it after slipping off the heelpiece.

And whats the problem if the heelpiece on a FKS pops up without a boot in there? If they're working right and you dont have them pegged at 18, you should be able to pop them back manually...

He is probably not pushing the heel piece all the way down.
Thats why i pops back up.
