Did you tighten the front DIN or the back? That might be your problem.

Ask your shop to check your forward pressure on your bindings. You also have very low bindings for someone of your weight. Having the din maxed out all the time isn't good for the binding. Upgrade to something like a Salomon STH 14 Driver, higher din for someone your size and skiing ability, and overall better binding

Still go into a shop and ask them to check your forward pressure.

Don't post in binding threads if you have no idea wtf you are talking about. Your forward pressure is definitely off have a hop adjust it.

That is still off. Who mounted your bindings?

He was referring to the forward pressure adjustment. It is possible that between your weight and the frontflips that there is just too much wiggle room in the bindings. In that case, cranking them to 100 wouldnt gain you anything.

Take them to a shop for a binding check and start saving for a new pair next year.

well unless you messed with them, he didnt know how to properly set your forward pressure, take them to your local shop and have someone check them, hopefully not the guy who mounted them.

take your boot also, this will allow them to do a full binding check on them.

from the info you provided that sounds like that is what is wrong, just tell them what you told us.

Like said, take em to a shop. Could be your forward pressure. Also, having your dins set at the top of the din range can lead to erratic releasing
