DIN Setting for Park?

[SoCalSendit]

So I have Look Pivot 12s, and about to mount them on some new skis (Kartel 98). Was wondering what my DIN should be set at if I am an aggressive park skier, with some all mountain here and there?

I weigh 135lbs and I am 5' 10''

 

[nxtyrsfulltilts]

14

 

[Thug_Scout]

Depends on if u heavy head ur shit B

 

[snowpocalypse]

With out all the vitals you would probably come out to 7.5 or 8 on the DIN chart. So I guess the real question is, How much do you love your knees?

add another 6 to get it up to 14 and were good to go

 

[MikeStreeter]

8 or 9

 

[andrewsmart]

Start lower than you think and slowly increase with time until you have it right.

 

[GhettoYeti]

If you want knees ok then set at reccommended by a chart, if you want never to release then max that shit

Been skiing park at a measly din of 7.5 for half a decade. I've pulled my ski off during mutes a few times but I have easily the healthiest knees around for a 24 year old park skier

I had same problem, kick it up to 8.5 or 9

If you land proper then its all good bro no need to crank it up too much. My friend once realised his DIN had been on 4 for the whole week and he had been boosting misty 9s just landing super centred.

I usually take my weight in kilos + 15 = 95

add in a decimal point and you get 9.5. Works for me all the time 70 % of the time.

I never had problems with that mostly just hard rail impacts and grabs pullimg out

don't need to set the din as hard on pivots tho. i had to have my griffons on 10 to not eject when i didn't want to. my pivots is on 8. could even probably put them down to 7/7.5

 

[sklermang]

rentMaxxx-Z Value is a good app for dialing in your DIN based on height, weight, experience etc. I believe some shops actually use it for customers.

 

[clorox]

The stronger you/your legs are, the higher you will be able to have your dins. Today I ejected out of one of my kingpins and my weight went to the other and managed to strain my hip or something (i have my dins at 9 but you know how tech bindings are). Thought I dislocated it at first but I’m sure as fuck glad I didn’t fuck my knee and I have more than enough reason to believe it’s from cycling. Take care of your body, start your dins low and raise them as needed.

 

[Rum_Ham]

Start at rec. if you prelease go higher until you stop prereleasing at your own risk

Elasticity plays a huge role in the required din to not eject. Markers definitely feel like more of an either eject or don’t binding and that’s why I have pivots on my park skis and jester pros on my all mountain/go fast skis

 

[LukeTheWaffle]

I've got attack 11s and I'm at 7.5.

I'm around 50kg

I've had them eject once on a rail (did a boot slide ) but there was lots of snow in it, and one time I pulled a mute too hard and the toe released. But my knees are

 

[flip_flopz]

set to 20 or ur dick is small

jk, what everyone else said. If your really unsure go have a shop do it

 

[GKS]

what the fuck is "din" and "binding"? I just cement my boots directly to my skis, works well

 

[sklermang]

Threads for when you tear your ACL

 

[levibonn]

For park? Why run pivots when you could have kingpins, obviously

Dynafit speedturns would be even better

Go to a shop

 

[rustypouch]

Serious answer: can't tell you without knowing your boot sole length. Go to a shop.

Flippant answer: as high as they will go.

whats your weight? have you ever done a nosebutter before? I use to ride at 8 din until my binding literally pops off anytime i try a nosebutter so now i crank it to 9/10

~160 lbs, fairly regular nosebutters. Even a few nosebutter 4's onto rails this year. I have only lost a shoe during a nosebutter once. I am gonna try 8.5 or 9 next year I think though

You lost a shoe meaning your boot came off?

haha no, that's an old saying for losing a ski. Have yet to lose a boot in a crash

BSL is part of the deal too. Not just weight and height.

Give this a listen for a minute. It will start at the appropriate time in the video.

Hmm did not work as directed. GO TO 2:00

good god dude, are you all skin and bones?

To compare; Im 6'2'', 175-180lbs, 30 yo and I keep park settings at 8.5. Its just enough that a mute grab, pulled hard enough, pops the ski off.

My all mountains are 9.5 and touring are 10. The settings are perfect; I never hurt my knee in my life after 19 years of pushing my limits.

 

[Rusticles]

180lbs, I run 9 on all my skis never ever released when I haven’t wanted to in 15 years. Have jesters, S912/914 and PX 18. I would almost go lower on your weight

 

[Bmxyy]

I feel like the reason people pop out of their bindings at dins like 10 and 9 is because they don't have their forward pressure set correctly.... high din < lower din correct forward pressure. I weigh around 145-150 and I ski pretty fucking hard (height has nothing to do with ur din imo... ur bindings can't tell if ur 6ft or 10ft just weight wise). I've sent it to the gucci plateau and back on my fks 140 and at either 8 or 9 for me my bindings have only popped out when I needed them to. And I nosebutter and swerve down the mountain at fairly high speeds and have never had a problem. I've also landed super far backseat and switch landing forwards in pow, park, ice, ur mum, and all sorts of things. If you set ur bindings to 14. I think you'll have to be more worried about ur knee's tearing than not landing ur trick

 

[Snowgoner]

^on point.

I weigh about 145 and my dins are at like 10 (at least). In my experience, pre-ejection is really fucking dangerous. If you get decent bindings your skis will pop out when they need to.

 

[Snowgoner]

Don't take that as an endorsement for unnecessarily high dins though. I'd recommend you start at around 7.5-8 and work your way up if you need to.

Plz don't sue me

Thats so dumb, height definitely matters. Are you familiar with the concept of leverage?

The din standard was created by engineers, if height didn't matter for din it wouldn't be included in the calculation.

Nah I can get height means leverage and such. But also not a lot of skiers' height are very different. I mean how many 6ft people do you see skiing? and they probably already weigh a lot more than say a 5' 8" person. Height definitely has a deal but that is also why I said "in my opinion" weight > height. Height corresponds with weight.

Height and weight don't always correspond and I definitely see a lot of variation in the heights of people on the hill.

If you're not an engineer in charge of the din standard I don't give a shit about "your opinion" on height and dins. You're just spreading misinformation that's gonna get people hurt.

 

[B_K]

set them at 4

 

[woodwvrd]

i'm 155lbs, 5'7" and i run my bindings (Look Pivot 14s) at 11 and they still pop out even when i dont want them too but im too lazy to crank them out

Your forward pressure is probably not set properly

nope its set perfect

yeah my bad go for 14 then
