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!

I dont think you will find many videos online, its not the type of thing Marker would want widely available. People would be trying to adjust there own and make mistakes.

You could try to do the Marker Binding Certs. There will be a website specially made to help staff learn how to adjust the bindings. You would probably need to speak to a shop manager about getting on the program.

Better still just go into a shop which do Marker rentel bindings and get them to give you a quick lesson. All that is adjusted is the length between the heel and toe depending on boot size. Then its just a case of learning how to check forward pressure and how to work out the Din for a customer. A rental tech should be able to show you it pretty quickly, its not hard by any means, but would be by far the best way to learn.

I keep trying to find info from Marker but they are all about taking them to the shop. The hardest part about this assignment is getting enough credible sources to cite and use as reference.

Thanks!

Maybe just write your paper on why Marker won't just show you how to adjust their demo bindings instead?

Yeah I highly doubt Marker would give any info out, its a liability for them.

As I said before, just pop in your local rental shop and ask for a quick lesson. A box of beer should sweeten the deel.

Good luck with it.
