6' 140lbs, I had my invaders at 6 all season, but popped out of the bindings way too many times that I shouldn't have. I popped out of one ski on a baby jump near the end of the season, so I definitely will raise the DIN, probably to 8.

One question, if I set the DIN to 8 or 9 on jesters (the bottom of the range is at 6), will that still be ok? I know that people have complained about maxing out bindings, but what about having them at the low end of the spectrum?

I'm 5'9" 150 lbs. My shop set me at a 7, but i kept pre-releasing just by charging groomers, so i just did 1/2 intervals until the prolem was solved, there is no need for people to crank the bindings up, all you have to do is turn up by 1/2 intervals until the problem is solved.

Now I; riding an 8 in the park and groomers, 9-10 in pow/bc.

Let me tell you that i dont want to end my season early because my binding didn't release when it was supposed to and have fucked up knees the rest of my life. Your dins will take a litt;e bit of tweaking, not jumping from a 6 to a 13 because you released

yeah.....well i run 10.....but this year im gonna pump it up to 11. I normaly keep the toe a little low, just so i can get an easyer twist ejection. I like to keep the heel tight for butters. There is no worse feeling then getting a sweet butter on and just pop out.

actually i'm so savage that i ride at like 28 or so...
i achieve this through buying 4 pairs of bindings and welding 2 together and putting them on each ski
