Clicking into bindings backwards?

[white+wolf]

Does anybody else snap into their bindings backwards sometimes? It is just fun to count the number of times people ask/tell you that you are backwards in your skis.

i went skiing switch at my local hill, and a ski instructor came up to me at the bottom and said he wanted to try it (but he had carving skis), so he clicked in backwards and tried skied switch

got some odd looks from the chair

 

[notomatoplz]

didnt know it was possible...

 

[tribefan226]

cant

 

[MADmidwest]

lmao, thats going to be hilarious. i had no iidea that i could do that but i just snapped in backwards and that is truly amazing.

 

[SeanB]

I'd never thought of that either, at first I thought the idea was rediculous but the more I think about it the more I think I'm going to have to try it.

 

[keystoner1]

i cant do it (((((((((((((((((((((((

 

[Shorton]

tried it once, didnt work, apparently you have to have brand new boots...

 

[JayDope]

haha i never even thought this was possible, im gunna have to try it now

 

[BvK]

we would get so many odd looks

 

[j.bird]

I"m pretty sure the toe piece of ski boots it's thinner than the heelpiece. I don't think they would fit.

 

[atlanticjibba]

mine cant

 

[skiP.E.I.]

I can-t, cause the heel lugs on my foil boots are way thicker tha n the toes. My little brother can though and it's hilarious when he does. The park manager at my home hill (who snowboards) was telling us our skis were on backwards, making fun of twintips, so my brother put them on backwards and asked him if it was the right way.

 

[artfullydodged]

u gotta have the right boot/binding combo for it to work, i think it worked when i had markers..

 

[Piste.Off]

never even thought of that. ill try this tomorrow.

 

[-dAvE-]

cant but on my old skis i coudl and it was funnn!

 

[zackblain]

[LMPJibbin]

thats pretty sick, ill probably try that tomorrow, must be somewhat harder to ski though, having more tip than tail...

 

[white+wolf]

[zackblain]

[Tucks]

[zesty_buddy]

[NicoChile]

[T_orageskiier]

[Gnarshred]

I saw a gaper do it once and it made me chuckle inside...

 

[sirskizalot]

[TOAST.]

i tried it the other day becasue i was bored and it didnt work it.

then my freind tried it and he could do it and he got all of the credit for it

 

[StockedDan]

I have taught a ski lesson clipped in backwards, they were all first timers and were very confused. They all thought i was asking them to put theirs on backwards cos they were different to mine!

 

[nkinsman10]

wow def have to try this next time haha

 

[skithedirt]

ive done it before its so fun

 

[caucasian_chad]

I gotta try this. What's it like skiing this way?

 

[Pippin]

[brenker]

[ShredTheGnarnia]

lange boots + rossi boner binders = no worky

 

[~auddie~]

[.makuma.]

your right, but clearly they do it

 

[RobotTom]

ive seshed a box with the backwards binding.

 

[ButteredToast.]

haha so this is where you got the idea.

 

[kool.aid.man]

i dont think you can do it with piston bindings. Regular ones though yes. i can do it with my fischer race bindings.

 

[ShredTheGnarnia]

neither do lange boots and salomon bindings.

or salomon boots and rossi bindings.

what combinations do work?!?!

 

[BootySpunk.]

[kickel]

Mine don't work but my friends do and the looks people give him are priceless.

 

[SkiingLlama]

[lotsoffun]

haha, awesome

 

[Klick_2_klaim]

does anyone ever go on newschoolers and just lie?

 

[Literature]

I tried it, but it won't work with my gear. Plus, the heel on my Langes is at least 2 times as thick as the toe.

 

[lotsoffun]
