im about 160lb, 5,9"

I think my skis are like 178

I currently have both forward and backward pressure set to 6

had some nasty double ejects with nose butters today, and was wondering if I should crank it up/what to

I'm 6'2 200lbs so I set my dins to 14 and I've never had a problem

You're a lot lighter than I am but 6 still sounds wayyyy too low

Crank that shit to 10 or something
 
Yeah crank it up to at least 10. I’m 6’2” pushing 200 and my din is set at 13. Only really eject if my set isn’t right and I catch an edge. Learning technique and saving my knees.

yeah I think 10 is the winning number. I was getting away with it earlier but when I mess up my centre of balance I got two full blown ejects with skis to the knees
 
Hey man I would just crank it up one at a time honestly pretty much the same stats as you 10 pounds lighter I run an 8 and never really have any issues with my skis popping of doing nosebutters and even nose butter 5s off jumps hope that helps
 
i’m a bit taller than you and about the same weight. i run my pivots on 11 and shift on 13.

if i test skis with different bindings and know that i’m not doing anything other than cruise i always go for 10.
 
I mean I’m 180 5’11 and ski aggressively and my din stays at 9-9.5 and I can butter just fine without them popping off. May just be because pivots elasticity but I’m not sure
 
What bindings are they? I can butter in my pivots at a 9. I’m 5’8” 160lb. I remember trying to butter in some Look SPX12s and I popped out at din 10. Fuck they just had no elasticity.

Like another poster said - take it 1/2-1 din at a time. 6 to 10 is a big change.

Lots of bad advice from users and lots of missing info from the OP in this thread.

Need your boot BSL, age and skier ability to figure out what you should be at. What binding you're running is also important. Checking other things like forward pressure and AFD height is also important, as you can have your DINs cranked through the roof and still pop out if these are not adjusted correctly.

Kids only seem to remember one of the 3 letter words, and its DIN
 
So much bad advice in here, listen to what hot pocket said. If you just turn your bindings up to 10 from 6 like some of these people are saying you’re way more likely to blow out your knee or break your leg. Turn up your din in small increments.

Also...nobody asked what binding you're running?

Lol I came to say exactly this. Pivots have so much travel before they release, it's insane. For reference, I have my pivots set at 7 for a while now which is insanely low but never needed more and never had pre-releases with pivots. I'm considering increasing a small bit to 8.5 per calculator cuz I'd hate to lose a ski in some of the sketchy terrain I've been skiing lately but that's besides the point. I can flex over my skis completely without popping out and I'm 185lbs. On my cheap Salomon bindings on another pair of skis, they're impossible to butter at that din; eventually the bindings hit a point and just release. Pivots on the other hand flex a bit and hold.

But +1 to hot pocket. All you tards telling him to just crank his dins are giving bad advice and gonna fuck up his knees. So many variables. Multiple factors: DIN calculated, boot condition, forward pressure, binding model, binding condition, ski model and length, etc.
