so today was my first day on my new MT and i had the fucks at ski company mount my bindings. i told them to set the din high when they mounted them because ive had problems in the past of double ejecting off jumps. but lo and behold they fuckin didnt. im 5 11 and 175lbs and they only put the fuckin din on 6. but i wasnt too woried because they are a race binding and as long as i didnt spin anything real fast i figured id be fine. but second run i go to pul a lil 3 and what do you think happend.....i fuckin double eject and land sq. on my knee. i fuckin cant walk right now and im out for atleast a week and a half. im so fuckin pissed. i went in aand bitched at em but they said they have to follow whats on the chart or i could sue them. but there is no way im a 6 on the fuckin chart.

ski sotres can only look at a chart for ur ability, weight, and then they hqave to test it and stuff. because of liability issues. if u knew that u shoulda turned it up right when u got home, or to the mountain, its just a flathead screwdriver in the front and back

 
yeah why didnt you just change the din yourself? its real easy

At least your shop didn't BREAK your bindings... I have to pay for new brakes, now. Plus it took me like half an hour to get clicked back in yesterday.

i'm 5'11' 165 and like a type II skier. The shop set my DIN at 6.5 on my rossi power 100's. I don't know how the hell they could've set yours at 6 considering you're heavier than me.

why would you not check your din when you got your skis back and if you weren't happy then fix them yourself

Yeah, just crank up your DIN!

Just takes a screwdriver

I put my DIN at 10 (I'm 5'9' 160lbs)

No shop would ever set it that high for me due to liability.

And never mind my race skis, which I set at 12-14...

 
6' 135 pounds and im at 9... but i like to take my skis into the race course a lot and i take a lot of hard landings onto ice...

 
take a screw driver, put it in the matching screw hole, then turn to the right until the din meter reaches your desired din setting

I ran out of material for a new sig

always set them at twelve, and slowly lower it until you stop tearing ligaments

wow buddy, get out a screwdriver and change it then

shops arent allowed to put the din higher then teh chart says for liability reasons

FUCK BIGGIE
 
your dumb...they have to set them per the chart or they can be hel responsible. think if they cranked them up for you, then you would be bitching and trying to sue

my reactors were at 10 because they felt loose at anything lower than that, but those are gone now for obvious reasons

311 is the Fuckin Shit Mutha Fucka
 
is it alright to have the front and back set at different din's or does that screw up the whole release mechanics of the binding

I ski Killington

dude, then just change your din on the binding yourself, it takes a screwdriver. A store is not going to 'crank' up your din for you, if they did they would be responsible if you tore your acl/mcl cause youe ski didn;t release and in the US of A someone would probably sue there ass like your parents for cranking your din up higher then what the official chart said for safe releases accorning to your wieght hieght and sole boot lenght. Don't complain about the shop, they don;t have a choice. Do it yourself it takes 5 seconds. the shop puts mine a 7. and i usually re set them at 8.5.

but i told them before that i needed them high and i just double checked and there at 5 not 6. setting dins too low can be just as dangerous as setting them too high. fuckin dumbasses. i turned them up to 9 though so i shuold be fine. im mad at myself for not turning them up as soon as i saw that htey were low. but i still didnt think i would double eject and die.

At my local ski shop, they will set them to whatever you want but make you sign a waiver...

I'm 5'11', 155 lbs and my Scratch 100's are maxed at 10 DIN

 
I have my din at 5, im 5'2 and Im around 110-115 pounds and its fine for me, but today I thought my binding were handycap, cuz I was in some rollers and I started to go a little fast and hit one and my ski just randomly popped out and ugualy I can go 3 times as fast and not get popped out, I dont know

thats so gay, that happend to my bro last week, he got new boots while we were in steamboat and they need to adjust the bindings to the boots and the service guy looked at his bindings and was like 'Wow man i have to knock this down to 6' and my bro who is about 5'10 175ish started laughing at the guy,and completely rip him apart and so the guy left them at 9

I'd rather be skiing
 
it also depends on your boot length too. dont be pissed at the shop. there is nothing they can do. its your faoult for not adjusting them. part owning stuff like bindings is knowing how they work, so you can adjust stuff without worring about dying. i feel no remorse for you.

i looked on google but all i could find was 3D Animation porn-sxmarty6

ECS headwear, hit me up!
 
my budy works at the ski shop i go to so he sets it at whatever i want. im 5'8' and 165 and i set mine at 8.5. they only pop off when i need um to.

you should definetly favor that knee for a while though. I alternate 20 min of ice and 20 min of heat and it usualy brings me right back. but dont rush it!

 
I set my own...I have my PE's at 8 toe, 9 heel: my Scratches maxed at 10 both toe and heel: and I keep the GS skis (Salomon 3v 176 race stock) at 8/9 for freeskiing, though when i used to race I would have them up around 12 toe, 13 heel.

 
due to the amount of frivilous law suits in the us justice system, they have to stay by the chart. just crank them up yoruself, but it is important to be completely accurate on the forms, as that is what determines what your setting is

what level skier did you say you were when you filled out the info form they gave you. If you said you were level 1 or 2, it's no surprise you got a six.

 
Tell me your weight, height, AND boot sole length (longer boots have less twisting leverage against the binding, so are set at a lower DIN) and I'll tell you what your recommended setting is. Then you can know if the shop was being dumb or following the rules.

It's not all that hard to google a DIN chart and check it yourself.

If I ever read a thread in which you tell us that you blew the shit out of your knee after cranking your DIN to 9, I will make sure to laugh at you. Going from a recommended setting of 5-6 to cranking it to 9 is S T U P I D.

knee surgery, it's not all it's cracked up to be.

Bahahaha... or, you could call it the 'elitist snob' cult. Anyways, my family already owns a country club, so no thanks.
