add like 1 if your hittin jumps and rails and shit

Determine the type of skier, from one of the following groups:

I - Cautious skiing at lighter release/retention settings. Skieers who designate themselves "I" must accept a narrower margin of retention in order to gain a wider margin of release.

II - Average/moderate skiing at average release/retention settings. Skiers who designate themselves "II" must accept a balanced compromise between release and retention.

III - Aggressive, higher speed skiing at higher release/retention settings. Skers who designate themselves "III" must accept a narrower margin of release in order to gain a wider margin of retention.

Step 1

Find the Release Code (letter A through O) which corresponds to the skier's weight, as well as the Release Code which corresponds to the skier's height. If they are not the same, choose the one that is closer to the top of the chart. For example if the skier's weight is 175 lbs. (code L) and the height is 5'7" (code K), choose code K as the correct line of the chart to be reading.

Step 2

Make the adjustments for skier type and age.

The selecton from Step 1 is for an "I" type skier. If the skier is "II" move down the chart one code. If the skier type is "III" move down the chart two codes. If the skier is age 50 or over, move up the chart one code.

Note and record the final Release Code letter for the skier.

Step 3

Reading on the corrected release code line from Step 2, find the column with the skier's boot length.

Within the box which corresponds to the skier's Release Code and his or her boot length is a number. This is to be used as the DIN setting for the toe and heel bindings.

 
30. Always set your DIN at 30 for jumps. Usually around a 3 DIN for rails, and somewhere in between, let's say 15? Yes, 15 DIN for jibbing.
 
youre new huh?

how new?

new like you just started skiing? dont go in the park.

new like never ski'd park before? leave em how your shop did em.

new like have skid all your life and finally saw the light? crank em!
 
ya..so 8 or like 10.5 cuz u said add 2.5 to my setting?\

also im gettin some 11 size rossi soft boots...so dont know if thatlle help..thanx
 
are you in shape? like legs handle you weight? or are you a fat fucker with no muscle, if the answer is number 1 id say 9.5 id the answer is number 2 id say 8 , both with proper forward pressure.
 
ACTUALLY, i change my mind, you stick with a din of 7 . anyone asking about din on NS needs to keep down the hotsauce.
 
well not like in shape, shape like u know what i mean..like im little big..not fat..got enough muscles..lol..so id say prob 8.5, 9...?? what u think..;let me know
 
ya i plan on goin to the shop to get it remounted..there back a lil bit more for ridin..u know..but ya so was the 7 a smartass thing..lol..ill prob do 8.5 to be safe at first then go 9..
 
Where is that din chart from? It looks like its a bit off. It keeps showing that I would be riding at a 4.5.
 
Hm...I just read your thread and since you said you "JUST" started freeskiing (like in the parks and stuff) I'd recommend just keeping them as they are for now, usually beginners don't go big enough for them to pop out on a landing etc. but once you do notice that you pop out although you stick a good landing, increase it by like +1 at a time and try not to go past +3 unless you're doing big mountain
 
Apparently you aren't aware that they make racing bindings that go to a din of 22+. And yes, that WEED I'm smokin keeps me from doing many things.
 
if you're just starting to do jumps and rails leave it at 8 after they set it at that when they get mounted. If they set it at 9 that's fine. If you notice them falling off a lot then raise it
 
just leave them at what the shop puts them at, and if you start releasing alot when you shouldnt, then adjust them up 1 until you are satisfied. but if you are new to park and such, it is not a good idea to play with your din.
 
jesus christ your leg would break fall down a 200 foot cliff, get gnawed on by a homeless person and still be connected to the ski at a 22 din
