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....
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?
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
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
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...
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.
