today while seshing my pvc one of my bindings kept releasing when I would do a blind 2 or a blind switch up. (surface was fine)

Anybody have any idea why, forward pressure, din etc?

if you slow the video down you can see your just twisting out of your binding, check the din and forward pressure again I bet that's your problem

If you answer the following questions, I might be able to better help you.

Are those boots old/used or new? Are the bindings old/used? Does your boot wiggle when in the binding? Does it happen/feel loose when you switch your skis around? Are any of the mounting screws loose/can you lift parts of the toe/heel off the ski? Have you had your bindings inspected by a trained shop tech this season/ever?

DO NOT TOUCH YOUR DIN, it is most likely NOT your DIN setting.

boots: new from last year
bindings: starting their 3rd season, Not loose at all, No my boots do not move in the binding. they have not been inspected this season. The din is at 7 and my marker griffons which I just had mounted were set to 8

The difference between a 7 and an 8 are not enough to cause that. I'm guessing your forward pressure is off, sometimes you wear down the toe of the boot slightly and this causes the forward pressure to be off, causing a pre-release. I recommend you take them to a shop and have them look at it.

If it's not that, it's cause you're not popping (but it looks to me in the video that it's happening as you set the edge).

Do you have a problem stepping into your bindings? Cause if the forward pressure was too high your boots wouldn't fit into them right.
