I am a very good skier… It’s honestly frustrating i have to pay extra for a binding that at least goes to 18, ugh. I weight about 165 pounds, my dad gives me a ski allowance of $5000 per year for gear, it’s annoying, but you gotta work with what you got I guess.

I'm 6', 230lbs and I ride a relatively heavy setup. 12 din has always treated me well, across both pivots and tyrolias. I pop out when shit goes wild, and not when I set hard for something. I like skiing fast, I like jumps, rails, cliffs, side hits, etc. I used have had some scary crashes where I wish my skis would have stayed on when I was younger which is what made me start slowly upping my din until I stopped popping out on dumb shit.
lil.BoyeMine is 18, i’m a typical type 3 skier and my hard euro carves are hard enough to pop me out of any binding. That is just how it is. I am that good.
I go fast and im not talkin groomers. Im 5,10 175, so I am definitely a heavier guy for my height. Din is set to 8.5 on my touring setup (kingpins) and 9 on my all mountain setup (pivots)
6’ 140lbs and premature release if they aren’t at 11.
last year I my ski came off prematurely on a simple FS and got myself 11 stitches and a $4000 medical bill… also nose butters they be coming off hella under 11 for me

Bro you should make sure your forward pressure is set correctly, that might be causing your prereleases. Like at your weight you shouldn’t have to run them at 11

I was a ski tech for 4 years. I know how to set fwd pressure
I just come down hard af and send to flat lots coming out of spins or something you hit you ski at a weird angle and it smacks off. Doing a nose butter as fast as you can be going- I’d rather not have my skis coming off at all.

olddirtyMust have been the biggest front swap of all time
was coming to sw and didn’t land perpendicular to snow more of in a carve, but on icy landing ski just blew off. I think the snow your skiing makes a big different because I run 10’s in power but would feel sketch riding 11 din on my power ski, much less “blunt” force off piste compared to park.
BigPurpleSkiSuitI started at 8 had 2 pre-releases
Upped it to 9, still pre-released
Upped it to 10, had one pre-release
Now I'm at 11 on my STH16s, no pre-releases

Ive had various combinations of boots/bindings, where the boot sole is worn, or the binding is a little jacked up/not set quite right etc., which in turn causes the the brakes to compress down towards the snow a tiny bit...not a problem when landing forward, but if you land hard switch, especially in a carve the brakes catch the snow and instantly blows up. Sounds kinda like what is happening to you.

I'm 6'2, 150lbs. Din is at 10 on marker squire 11s and I'm popping out all over the place. Is my fp set up incorrectly or are my bindings just too weak

it’s the squire. even young kids break that thing so i’d get a beefier binding if i was you.
