and the highest your din should ever have to go to (well on the chart anyways) is like a 10 (provided he doesn't have stubby little feet) for an absolute expert 6'6, 230lb dude. cranking it another notch over that is pretty insane. anymore is just dangerous and stupid. you might as well be strapping your skis to your feet with buckles because if you bail and your skis twist, your knee is ripping apart before your binding is releasing.
i just hate the way people crank their bindings higher than any human being should ever have to because it's like, the cool thing to do.
umm, i just got fujis with some p14s for 250 shipped (both new/unused), they are last years (04/05) but i like that graphic better anyway and it is the exact same ski
second - there are many people who need to run a high din to keep their skis on their feet just cause they ski that fast or huck big enough.
last - a lot of people ride race stocks because frankly, plastic normal stock bindings break and don't provide the same type of control to the ski.
I hate my when skis come off my feet. I run my din at 10-11, depending on the day. I dont have the prerelease problems that I did with s914/s912s and I have more control over my skis than I did with normal looks/rossis.
Not everyone riding race stocks runs their din at 15.
generalizing that everyone with race stocks is running a super man din to look cool is kind of stupid.
anyone who hasnt scored their deal of the year, YOUR IN LUCK! im sellin some 05 ar5s with pretty new look p12 jibs for $250 AND I PAY SHIPPING UP TO $40!
it also depend on your weight, I am small 140lbs so I can keep my din under 10, I take it up to 8.5 for big mnt and then drop it down to a 6-7 for the rest.
