I know there is probably 50 posts like this one, but I figured there really cant be enough. My skis came off about 20 times yesterday for NO reason. I got them adjusted and that helpde a litte, but for ANYONE even considering buy some, forget it. And for those of you who just feel liek complaining, feel free to do so here:

FUCK YOU Salomon bindings.

perhaps you suck at skiing or knowing about bindings

well your situation is utterley hopeless. I'm glad you started this thread. This link should be helpful:

pierce is right. i was merely skating down the hill, trying to gain speed, and my ski popped off and did a triple kickflip. and i have many other similar stories.

so screw you salomon bindings.

Your wings or toe pressure probably isn't set right. There is more to settign up your bindings then just the din. Pop your ski on and make sure that the wings and downward pressure are cranked up enough.

The problem I see with Salomon bindings is that there are too many variables. Look/Rossi have it right, and I knew from the onset that I should have bought p10's...but no, I bought S810's instead...

this happened to me all the time but you just have to adjust the wings and toe pressure so your boots have no possibility of coming out in the front. I personally have liked my salomon 912s very much, far better than the markers that I destroyed coming off of a 60 foot booter and almost took my life by breaking.



and more, much more than this, I did it my way

I thought Salmon bindings were awesome until I rode Rossignols. Then I realized Rossi/Look is where its at. I wrote an essay about it if anyone's interested or in need of reform.

Yeah I dunno my s910s are great. I ski reasonably hard and they dont prerelease ever, only when they should. And they are only at din 7 so yeah. And Im 120. Im really happy with them actually.

I've heard that they were more of a big mountain binding, but I didn't have a very good experience with them, they would always pre-release. I would say Look/Rossi are the best bindings.

ya you all must be skiin on 810's or quadrax toes or some shit if you've got save money don't do it on bindings... Salomon has had the same product for the past 50 years back to the 357equipe bindings nothing has changed its a tested product that holds up get a binding thats gonna hold u for what your doing on it like a 912ti or a 914 or a race binding thats got a higher din not some plastic piece of shit...

Try landing centered and having your bindings set up properly before bitching about pre-releases.







Bahahaha... or, you could call it the 'elitist snob' cult. Anyways, my family already owns a country club, so no thanks.

I've got s900's, s912's, and s810's. The s810's are the worst bindings ever. The other two work great.

I dont have anyu real complaints with mine yet. They are my first pair of Salomons but so far so good!!




Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. She hates guys, Pete lamented, so it’s not going good. Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.

Salomons work fine. But just get Look/Rossis. They're retard-proof.

I'm glad all the people on here are experts. Thanks for letting me know I needed to get my bindings adjusted and learn how to ski. That helps a lot.

For the non-fucktards on this site, just dont buy salomon bindings, they require way too much adjusting, 4 or 5 times a week to work properly, and are generally pieces of shit, no matter how perfect you land.

sorry for being such a 'gaper'

Was doing a revert yesterday and came out of the binding, resulting in my catapolting (sp) into the ground. Got fucking whiplash.

my 912ti have been great for five years, the heel pieces are starting to move more than they should, and the housing for the brakes is messed up, but after five years what that's not bad, they still hold me in with proper adjustment.
