I'm writing a paper for a class on how to set and adjust demo bindings (specifically Marker). I am looking for some credible sources or videos to use as reference.

So if you have any links or sites that might have some credible information on changing and adjusting demo bindings for different snow conditions and boots I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks NS!

Marker have like 4/5 different demo bindings that all adjust differently

So question is not so simple to answer.

Seriously? Last time I checked, it took about 30 seconds to adjust Marker rental bindings. Or my meter is broken.

hmmm thanks guys. Probably just go grab a friend from a shop then.

It is a weird assignment but I am not too creative with writing so the best I could come up with was writing a how to manual on adjusting ski bindings. The tricky part is getting enough credible sources to cite and use as reference since it is a for my professional technical writing class.

Actually, I'm not really sure what it is that you are asking? Are you asking how to adjust the size on a rental/demo binding, so it'll fit different size boots?

why are you writing a how-to article on something you clearly don't know very much about?

probably a technical writing kinda deal. writing directions for even the simplest of things that an idiot could read and comprehend. It must be a painful process, really..

You probably should choose a new topic, why the fuck would you write a paper about adjusting demo bindings?

Once lawyers got involved, prices went up.
