Retarded ski techs

So I'm at the local mountain with a couple of friends and it was like my first day just lapping the park. The first damn rail I hit stuck it pretty much and my ski just fell off and I ate shit, so I go into the lodge and went down to their shop and I ask the guy if I could get my dins turned up. The guy looks at me and says I don't really know how and I'm like your a fucking ski technician. So he proceeds to blow on the binding for five minutes to see what it was set to because it was filled with snow. He asked me what it was at and I said I don't know because him blowing on my skis was to funny. Then he went and stabbed my bindings with a screwdriver for a while then he handed me the screwdriver and pointed to the picnic table outside he says have fun. I was like wtf you just wasted 20 minutes of my time giving my skis a blowjob then poking it with your screwdriver has this happened to anyone else?
 
I work at a ski shop and I can tell you from personal experience that some of the ski techs there are the dumbest dudes. My friend who also works there was getting his skis mounted by the tech we know and the dude mounted the bindings an inch wider than the boot and didn't notice until we got onto the hill that his skis boots fit into his skis like a pencil down a mine shaft. Im telling you all this right now fucking check that your skis fit and that your boots click in and get a tourque test reciept from the machine and make sure the dins are at that setting because they fuck up all the time
 
You don't know about blowing on dins? It releases the din jinn, he grants you three chances to change your dins, three and only three.
 
well it has the word blow in it, so i mean, like, you just blow right? like blow air?
 
Can you count from 1-18?

Do you understand the concept that the higher the din # the less likely you are to release?

Can you turn a screw driver?

If you answers no to any of these questions, you might as well kill yourself now because you are a flaw in the gene pool.
 
Besides telling someone to fucking kill themselves because they don't know how to turn up their din is bullshit, your the one who should kill themselves pussy
 
I always thought ski techs aren't even allowed to raise your dins for liability reasons. I thought they could only adjust them to that standardized din chart that is based on ski type and height and weight.

Regardless you should learn how to do it yourself, so you don't look like an idiot for asking someone to turn a screwdriver for you.
 
Haha that's all you got? You couldn't even call me fat?

How the fuck do you not know how to turn a screw driver to turn your din from 6 to 7? Get educated kid
 
Realistically the tech should have charged you appx $20 for a binding calibration. Lots of shops will refuse to touch your binders without doing so.

Also, most shops can charge between $40-$60 an hour for PITA work like yours.

It's all in the approach.

p.s. if you can use a multiplication table, you can use a DIN retention chart. Although that may be asking a lot nowadays.
 
Can we just get this kid banned for stupidity , he actually doesn't know what op means and dude you literally just turn a screw and look at the number scale there's really nothing to " know how to do" just common sense
 
like everyone else said, do it yourself. if you release when you dont think you should have, go up .5 or 1 number until you get the desired release point. also no good tech will just change your din because of legal reasons, they will do a calibration.

PS. as a ski tech, i think its stupid kids like you that are the downfall of our great sport. learn to do easy little things yourself through a process of of trial and error. if its too low, go up; too high, go down
 
you guys need to shut up about learning to adjust the din yourself. You do know that the insurance company won't pay if your din was set incorrectly (not according to the chart) and it turns out that you adjusted them yourself?
 
Before you call ski techs retards, you should probably educate yourself first. You went into a ski shop asking a tech to raise your release settings? No tech is ever going to do that unless they are set to the wrong release setting.
 
Going to assume op is just trolling.

Either that or he just set a world record for highest concentration of stupid on one page on the internet
 
This, you're just as fucking useless. Don't make fun of someone for not possessing a skill that you also do not possess. Learn to do it yourself, pussy.
 
You are also a jackass. It's turning a screw. This is probably one of those moments where the ski tech looks at OP like he is Down syndrome and doesn't know what to do because the level of stupid is just too high!! If you can't determine what you need done, how can anyone fix it for you?
 
broke my break at stowe and ski tech hit it with a blow dryer for 15 min before telling me they didnt have the part
 
You should ban yourself, maybe he was worried about hurting himself if he set it too high?? Setting the din too high can have horrible consequences. Ban yourself.
 
How am I a jackass? You read my post wrong dumbass, I agree with everything you just said. No one goes to a ski tech to adjust dins because it is literally turning a screw.

OP has no business calling the tech a retard when he doesn't know how to adjust his dins. I guarantee the tech knows how to do it and was just fucking with OP because it was funny.
 
A tech can set a din to whatever a customer requests but the customer must sign off to agree that they want said din setting.

I kind of agree with the op, plenty of people don't know how to adjust bindings but a tech not knowing is unacceptable. A good tech should look out for the safety of the customer and advise what will be best. The tech in the op did not do this and left the op to go at it alone when he clearly needs help.
 
Dat Post:Karma ratio...

Jk but dude chill, he's new here ( you would know) so fair enough on not knowing what OP means. He didn't know how to do it and in the OP he was complaining that the guy spent 20 minutes doing nothing.

To OP you should learn to do your din dude. If you're as competent as you say you are in the park you should be ashamed.
 
And I can tongue kiss a horse, but I wouldn't, and none of the techs I know would, you just tell them that they have to do it temselves
 
But the issue with that is what if they do it wrong. In my opinion it's better it's done right and so long as they sign to confirm they want it there is no liability.
