r00kieEarly release on an attack toe piece you say? Sounds like an afd adjustment may be in your future.

PooPooVooDooI’m retarded, what’s that mean?

r00kieIts the part of the binding that would go underneath your toes. Attack binders are known for having to have this readjusted on occassion. Have someone more knowledgable show ya how to do it the firat time. Its nothing serious.

mystery3Most shops don't set them tight enough. To properly adjust you need to pull back on the boot (like you were in the boot leaning back) then check the AFD height. Also check forward pressure.

What's your BSL? We need that to tell if the 8.5 DIN setting might be too low.

bbw.enthusiasttheyre attacks... you'll get used to it till you buy pivots

PooPooVooDooYa I shoulda just dropped the cash on em. Im debating center mounting these attacks on a park ski and putting pivots -2 from true cm for playful all mountain.

my ski hit my thigh so fuckin hard

BradFiAusNzCoCaAttacks are fine. It’s not the binding. I have both attacks and pivots. Take it to a shop that can test the release values. It’s probably the afd (anti friction device) height, as mentioned.

PooPooVooDooSo what is the real difference in terms of performance for attacks and pivots? the way people talk about them makes it seem like they are literally the best free ride/freestyle/park binding on the entire market.

am I really missing out without pivots? Kinda wishing I bought a pair now.

hi_vis360I think the difference between pivots and other bindings is that pivots will still work when they're basically broken. I have the most insane clapped out pair on my rock/street skis, like my boot can wiggle around a little bit on one ski and they're so worn down that my daymakers won't clip into them, but I still never pre release. Your attacks on the other hand probs need to be adjusted every once in a while to avoid pre releases, like the dudes above have said.

tdolloBro what that sounds dangerous, at least theyre rock skis. With pivots you get more side to side retention so yeah the boot can move around a little

freestyler540Did anyone mention that snow caught in the binding will lead them to fail? The thread was tldr

PooPooVooDooDamn so I just have to constantly remember to mess with my bindings and always be wondering if I’ve gotta check em?

any bindings I can get where I never have to worry about this shit? Just mount and go?

mystery3You need to chill out. Make sure your bindings are setup properly which is pretty uncertain because shop techs often don't set things up properly and you don't yet know how to check them yourself.

Attacks are the second most popular binding on this site and are super solid bindings. If you take any binding and completely botch the adjustment process (Pivot forward pressure threads...I'm looking at you) they will not work properly and pre-release among other issues.

Try to find a good youtube video that walks you through adjustment on attacks, it's not rocket surgery.

AFD = anti friction device

Was there snow under your boot?

bbw.enthusiastanyone who endorses attacks is prolly too shit at skiing to realize how bad they are /thread

ShadowXVXDin doesn't mean much without knowing bsl but I doubt it was din. Make sure all your mounting screws are tight, and check forward pressure and toe height.

ajbskibest case scenario: afd or forward pressure adj
worst case scenario: they have to redrill your ski. maybe they just ran out of adjustment when you stepped down in boot size and left it at min.

just remember that when you change boot size it also changes where the centre of the boot is on the ski.

if you were centre mounted and went to a shorter boot, you might very ell be riding with more tail than tip.

PooPooVooDooI was at factory Rec which is around -3 from true center I think?

theyre moment wildcat 101s (this years version, just bought them in November)

it def moved them up towards center a lil bit (which I’m actually liking).

im debating remounting them with pivot 14s at -1 or -2cm from tru center

PooPooVooDooYea they were already mounted at factory recommended which is -3 or -4 from true center on wildcat 101s I think.

might just put pivots on em at -1 or -2cm from true center so they’re a bit more playful.

PooPooVooDooI was just ripping groomers today hitting small stuff and did a normal jump with a normal amount of air, as soon as I landed my left ski popped out forwards, and flew back and smacked me in the thigh.

i skied off and bailed on one ski wondering wtf happened?

Both my heels were still clicked up on both skis, but this honestly scared the fuck out of me. That simply can’t happen to me at certain places I ski.


so what happened? DINS to low? 5,9 - 155lb riding at 8 1/2 din, but I need to raise it as that’s early season.

worried that this will happen in a spot that will seriously fuck me up if it happens again



It doesn’t make sense that DIN was the issue here tho - I can confidently weight on my nose for small nose presses and stuff and have never popped out on one of those

skiermanAgreed. Kids like you who try to set their own bindings when they have no fucking clue what they're doing are fucking idiots.
