what should my din be?

Leave em' on what the shop set em at then go and ski. If they fall off whilst doing the stuff you would normally do, then tighten them up a level. Keep doing this until you feel comfortable that they will only fall off when you need them too.

yeah i would start the season off at a 5 then make the nessisary ajustments. make sure to keep the heel and toe at the same din and the same for both skis!

 
according to your height age and weight you should be an 18.

The reason it's good to have a high DIN binding is because the spring is stronger. That means in really hard release situations it responds a little better than softer springs. That doesn't mean you need to crank them to 14 or anything. If you're 160-190 lbs you can have a DIN of 7-9 if it's higher the binding might suddenly prerelease or not release in another situation.

 
i have mine at 7.5 and my i haven't had a problem although my parks don't have any umps set up so i will probably end up cranking it up (i have tyrolia td8s)

I started letting the shop doing it for me. I know about where they need to be now. I maybe cranking them down a little more this season though.

A friend of mine cranks his to the top way on all his skis because when he use to race he said racers dont like popping out just because they hit a gate or something.

 
no offence ^ but tell your friend that is really stupid. just for an example my sister broke her acl when her bindings didnt release after hitting a gate. yes you want to stay in the binding but bindins are suppose to release, and when you crank them up to max that also stresses out the band in the binding
