Always wondered what DIN the average person on NS run. I have always had my DIN on 11 and Im about 70kg amed 179cm tall. Yall can convert it to freedom unit yourself
 
I’m at at a 10, it’s the 3+ on the chart. 8.5 at a 3 but I kept popping out at weird times.
 
Assuming half of NS probably just maxes out their din for park?

I ski at 12, but I am 200 lbs and I like my skis to stay on. If you’ve ever spent half a day digging in the backcountry trying to find a ski it’s like… give me that screwdriver
 
5‘9 5’10 on a good day. 170-180 depending on how much activity I do and if I’ve been working out or not. Din at a 8.5 I think. Type 3plus skier. Look pivot 12s never popped out when I shouldn’t have so im not gonna mess with it
 
idk what i am supposed to be, somewhere between 5-7 probably

but

shop put my wets at a 5.5 when i got them mounted and i cranked that up to a 10 with a screwdriver up on the mountain. 7 on my pow skis but i keep popping out of them when i land a little forward so idk, maybe thats what happens with attack 16s? i would imagine not but im only familiar with pivots
 
This is a dumb thread because the largest factors are height, weight, selected skill level, and bsl. They each can modify it about 1-1.5pts up or down. This isn't something to compare between people since we all have different combinations of those factors. Anything extra is simply fine tuning or people unnecessarily cranking their bindings cuz the forward pressure is too low. The correct din for you is one that releases when you need it to and doesn't release when you don't want it to.

But anyway mine is 8.

Type 2 skier energy
 
Me- “I’m a type 3+ skier and use soul 7s”

Shop tech- “Say no more fam”

*maxes out my squires
 
11. 5'10" 165

I lost a little weight though. and I'm old. Maybe I should take em down? But I've double ejected [when I shouldn't] on anything lower too many times... and I still ski hard.

and this should be a poll if you want to actually figure this out, even though it's arbitrary...

12. Definitely a little to high but usually I just ski some jibs and butter around on some weird jumps and stuff

6ft, 215lbs, 9.5

IMO people need to dial their forward pressure before touching their DINs

This. My buddy was rocking an 11.5, checked his forward pressure for him and surprise, surprise, it was way off, set his dins back to the recommended and he stayed in the whole day.
 
6' 160lbs din at 10.5 on p18's.

If I don't pop out when I get fully on my tips standing still I'm good.

Also different skis require slightly different dins change my mind.

maybe how you ski on different skis requires different din settings. If you are nose butter manualiing around, you likely need higher for the skis you do that with. If you suck at skiing pow and are scared, you might turn down the din on your pow setup.

Is WoFlowz ripped?
 
6’, 130, 335 bsl. I run a 6 which is .5 above type 3. Haven’t been skiing as hard and haven’t released yet bcuz my mental game is weak af rn bc I broke my leg last year and haven’t gained confidence in my equipment or myself yet
 
Didn’t take long to see most of you need to check your forward pressure and the condition of your soles. Doesn’t surprise me. I’ve seen the way most of you drag your feet through the parking lot.

Also if you have to crank your dins and you’ve already made sure all other settings are correct, you should go get a release check. The din indicator ain’t always accurate.

10 seems solid for me (6ft 150), should probably get them tested once I fix my broken binding tho, my previous local shop wouldn't touch them when I asked since they were cast which was annoying af

A good rule of thumb is to take your wiener size (in inches), multiply it by 2 and add 2.5. That's why I ski at 8.
