Stupid switch landings

[NSISGAAYYY]

I learned to five today, and I didn't have my bindings cranked hard enough, and when I did about my third one my left binding popped off. The break snapped in 3....

 

[Legit]

what?

 

[Wis_Skier_23]

i feel ya i bent 3 brakes landing switch 2 of which was in one day

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

thats why you buy 4frnt deadbolts!!!!!never a problem wit switc landings with me

 

[J.D.]

Yeah, it's a bitch. Someone needs to design a new brake system.

 

[james44]

yea i made a thread about this a few days ago

my skis always race down the hill and go into the trees and then i have to search for them forever

 

[NSISGAAYYY]

It's a bitch too, because i'm broke right now so I can't get a new binding.

i just bent my brake today, cept my ski popped off doing a tiny 180 off one of those little kid "jumps". bent back fine though

 

[K2_Pubz_360]

if you have marker bindings they will just do that becasue they are a peice of shit

 

[Mt_P0wDerJuNkIe]

my rossi bindings have done that three times on my fujitives

 

[MLB]

you just have to rebend the brakes on your bindings.

 

[RudyGarmisch]

Don't the Deadbolts have some sort of system thats supposed to stop that? Kinda wish I never sold mine after having that happen to me this year.

at snoqualmie i saw this guy fall and it was super icy. He tried a 5 off a table that was most of the way to the top of of the mountain and his skis flew off and the breaks didn't stop them and they flew down the hill into the woods or some shit. that guy was fucked. so you could have it worse, ya know?

 

[Dilla]

yeah, one of my breaks broke completely off on a 180, I dont even know where it went after that but it doesnt really bother me, unless i lose my ski.

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

yeah it does. it has 2 springs in it other then 1 in the rossis/looks. 1 to bring the brake up and the other to put pressure retention on it to make it so the break never deploys on switch landings. its a realy good system and im glad i got mine

 

[james44]

that happens to me so much i have S912ti's and the have brockens so much

 

[EK3]

Cool,didnt know that.Glad I went with Deadbolts instead of Salomons.

 

[TheQuailman]

I keep hearing about breaks breaking off or coming loose

 

[SnowRidgeParks]

i've been riding Looks for a few years now and they've worked great, as long as my DIN is set right they only pop off when I need them to, resulting in no bent breaks (or nothing serious anyway)... I haven't had that kind of luck with other companies though

 

[hartig]

With my p12 Jibs last year, the brake ripped out of the binding when I fell doing a 5, and besides making it so I couldn't put the brake back in, it fucked up the entire binding from ever being mounted again. Just to warn you...

 

[jack_weisman]

yea greatest bindings, i have them and they are soo good for landing switch.  

 

[mohawkskier]

crankem down and brakes arealways goingto get fucked up

 

[DopeSauce]

Screw brakes I don't use em ahaha

 

[doublexl]

breaks are kind of bullshit. ive bent mine like 10 times this year.

 

[ajax]

I can't count all my brake problems.

 

[dan_avoN7]

went through the same trouble this weekend but my brakes are fine. landed a jump hard and my left boot came out of the binding. ended up rolling down the landing and twisting my other leg up until that binding finally released.

 

[thrasher*TB]

yup

 

[Dustin.]

he said it broke apart though. thats beyond the bending stage
