im 5'10" 5'11 ish and i had just gotten those bindings and they were on 13. also my mom knows a doctor who can supposedly fix my knee a lot quicker if my acl snapped near the end and not in the middle. but i also streched my mcl and damaged my meniscus

I am telling kids more and more to turn there dins down and end up bruised and battered rather than risking blowing a knee for the season. I swear everyone has got thier dins way too high.  Nips is 125lbs @ 5'-6" at a 9 setting.  I turned them up after some pre-releases on switch take offs.

13, holy fuck, did you set them yourself? I put mine on 11-12, I am 5 11 and 185. My boot sole length is only like 308 though and that makes a + difference. Anyway 13 is way above any factory setting. I ski more backcountry, most people I know that ski mostly park have them set pretty low like 7-10.
