So I have pair of 176 AR7s with Marker Griffons (I'm 6', 180), and every time I try a spin off a jump and start my spin just a little early my ski opposite of the way im spinning releases and causes me to eat shit. I have the DIN at 9 so its not like its thats low. I'm just not sure what to do.

Go see if it's broken. I had kinda the same problem so I went to my local shop and my toe piece was broken.

Yeah probably forward pressure.

On a similar note, fuck setting forward pressure. I had my bindings set perfectly, and towards the end of last year, got smaller boots. Adjusted my bindings and didn't know how to set forward pressure. Turns out I didn't have enough travel in the heel to set it correctly, so I have to go get my heels remounted for it to be correct

From what I've read the "worm" screw on the back of the binding should be flush with the plastic, mine is farther in than it seems like it should be so with this correction to forward pressure will this stop my pre release?

Also I'm at school and the closest shop is over an hour away so it makes it kinda hard to get there, id rather just do it myself.

OK well that was a stupid first sentence, not sure what I was thinking. The worm screw seems to be farther in that it should, so will this correct my problem?

the screw is flush with the boot clicked in for correct forward pressure. The other guy forgot to say you check forward pressure with the boot in the binding. it will be inside the housing while the boot it out. also check the AFD plate it might be shot. You're 6' 180, you're too big for Griffons in my opinion... and if you're actually gonna listen to my opinion don't use marker bindings. FKS/Pivot are my favs followed closely by FFG/STH

When I went and got my skis/bindings the shop I went to suggested the Griffons. How exactly would I be too big for my bindings?
