Ok so im having a problem with my squires. I just got them this year and i have broken the plastic piece that holds the brake in place 3 times. It always happens when I pop of my binding landing switch. Not even landing hard just a front 270 or a small 180. My din setting is at 7 and im 5,5 and about 115 pounds. Any suggestions why this is happening?

They arent cheap bindings ive seen people far beyond my skill level that are using them and every time its happend they were perfect landings not leaning forward.

I had the excact problem. It's caused by you popping out switch even though you would land the trick. Your foot presses on the ski and the brakes which are now open get basically stomped against the plastic. The plastic is gonna break everytime.

All you can do is crank the din up and get different binding if that does not resolve the problem.

they are cheap bindings... you just need to practice landing switch, my guess is you're basically landing in a nose press which will force the brakes down.
