Replying to When learning new tricks should I turn my din down?

Nixx:
Just looking for some opinions on this, normally my din is 5.5, but I usually rock it at 6 because I was getting prerelease. I've broken a spx toe piece so I bought pivot 15's for the metal toe even though I'm on the bottom of the spectrum, but am still learning new tricks and am not the type of person who wants my ski's to stay on no matter what (I used to be until I broke my leg). I'm a type 3 or 3+ skier, on type 3 I'm 5.5, at 3+ am 6.5 so I went to 6 just to be in the middle. Yall think I should rock it at 5 or 5.5 and downgrade to 14s cause I'm learning new tricks or am I chilling, I'm willing to go down even if I prerelease if it protects me while learning.
