FKS problem?!

So i have 2 pairs of fks 140's and I ride on an 8.5 on the heels and 9 on the toepieces. im 5'10' 135 and ride quite aggressively. I have had never had any other problems other than having my pants getting caught under my heels when i ski switch or session the park. I did not experience this problem last year when I was much lighter with an 8.5 Din when competing, so I am a little unsure if I need to increase my din or there is a problem with forward pressure or somehting. If it is just that the din too low, then I have no problem with handling them on a 9.5-10.

im just wondering if i can prevent my bindings from lifting up and having my pants get caught in them or is this just inevitable.

Just pull your damn pants up when you click in.

here is a serious reply. either get more fitted pants or accept that the cuffs will get torn up.

also dont just crank your bindings. i find it hard to believe you think you need to ride above 9 based on your heigh/weight

why is that so? you have never seen me ski and i dont feel it to be ridiculous to ride on a 9-10 din for me. Last year when i was much lighter I rocked a 9 for my mogul comps which was barely enough half the time.

Is your problem with prereleasing or fraying pants? If it's fraying, there's not much you can do, just suck it up. If it's prereleasing, check that the forward pressure is set correctly. The heelpieces should be popping up all the way while also having the white tab going back behind the indicator line. If the white tab isn't going past the line, your forward pressure is too loose, and if your heelpiece doesn't quite come up all the way when you click in, forward pressure is too tight. Forward pressure being set incorrectly is a much more common cause of prerelease than a low din, so I would check that before adjusting anything else.

Seriously? Pull your pants up when you step in, if somehow your pants get caught in your heelpiece when you are riding then your bindings are not adjusted correctly...
