Replying to Knee Bindings and Park (After Use Review)

I'm more of a video watcher than an active poster, but I feel like this needs to be said.

I told some of you that I would reply on my previous post when I had shredded the knee bindings, and let you know how they were. Well, let me be the first to tell you that they suck.

I originally spoke with John and he told me that knee bindings prerelease less than other types, and to definitely use my reccomended din setting of 7. I have no had dins lower than 10 in god knows how long, but I obliged. A few runs of quite literally popping out on every feature (and I do mean every). I cranked them down to 10. A few more runs, this is my first day mind you, and I only pop out a few more times. I attribute this to my first day. Then I stomp my first backflip of the year. Only to pop out and bruise the shit out of my tail bone.

Alright. Something is up. I landed that. I finish the day, and set the skis aside for a few weeks as it hurts to even sit. Next time I go out I crank them down to 12, and there is little change.

This past weekend I released after landing airs in main park in mammoth five times. I fell on three 360s, and two lincolns. I did fall a few times learning threes back in the day, but I never, in my life, have fallen on a lincoln. They're my favorite rotation. I have it on film, back to back hits. If i upload the video I will reply with a link, but it is almost funny at my fall.

I land. And the skis come off. I land straight, no problems. Watching in very slow motion, you see me land and my skis just come off. They are basically the same video, two more falls that shouldn't have been.

The second one caused my left ski to slice open my left pant leg, sick. Brand new LD pants, awesome. and my leg on that side is bruised/cut up. It sucks.

Enough is enough. Thankfully I bought them at REI so I can return this god awful binding. Great concept, poor implementation. Just ordered a pair of Rossi FKS 14s. Hopefully will have more luck. This was somewhat of a rant, but to those of you that were thinking aboutj these bindings, all i can say is DONT
