Hello,

I just bought the marker griffon 12 binding. I am 5.9 ft 165 pounds. I have been skiing since i was 2 years old every sesason, now i'm 19. I got into freestyle last lear so you could say I am a beginner in this area, however I feel very comfortable on my skis and and still go fast on them.
Could anybody suggest what should i put my bindings on ?
Thank you

I bought this year's full tilt doggers and love them except when combined with my 08/09 marker griffon bindings there is some movement in the toe. The binding does not have any vertical adjustment options. My buddy recommended I buy new (bigger I'm assuming) AFD's. Good idea? Or are there any other options to help fix my problem ... +k for help. Thanks

If the message isnt clear enough, which apparently it isnt:

If you have binding questions, GO TO A SHOP. Dont trust mounts and dins to people over the internet, go to someone who you know KNOWS.

Hi, I was just wondering if it would be a bad idea to change my din from like a 4 to a 6 or so on my old little skis.

I used them when i was like 5'5 100lbs, I'm now 5'10 130lbs...

Gonna be using them on a little skate rail setup in my front yard i made w/ surplus snow.

Is it ok to do it yourself and not get it pressure checked w/e the other shit is they do at the shops or is it unsafe?

Bindings were used for like 1 season when i was just learning to ski so they havent seen much damage or abuse

it depends on where your heel was mounted on the tray, but I highly doubt it. Moving more than 10mm is 9/10 a re-mount.

pff i honestly dont know what to set my DIN at anymore
i have atomic panics with marker squire bindings set at DIN 5
at the sport shop they calibrated them by age/weight/skier type etc.
but sometimes it releases too quick for my liking (pretty aggressive)
so i is it recomended cranking them up just a bit?

I work in a ski shop and the chart(s) we use to determine din settings are definitely geared towards general groomer skiing, and not aggressive/park/bc skiing.

Im not going to officially recommended you to crank em, but thats what a lot of people do. i just gradually increased my din day by day until i found a setting i was comfortable with.

This question was posted in another stickied thread but I just wanted to get a few more opinions and explanations.

I have ar7s(Not symmetrical) with fks 140s. I'm planning on doing 60% park, 40% all mountain, and being on the east when I do decide to go all mountain I want to be able to carve fine with no worries. But when I'm in the park, I want to be able to ride out switch fine. Do I need the center mount because I heard it affects your all mountain performance for the worse? Also, if I had it mounted at -2.5(factory recc), would I still be able to ride out switch fine. I'm just talking riding out switch, I don't plan on doing switch groomers or anything. So -2.5 or center, or somewhere in between? And how does -2.5 even affect riding out switch, because if it doesn't then I'll just get it at -2.5 since I value carving more than riding switch for like 15 seconds.

If you have to ask about your din on the internet, you don't know what your doing so go to a good shop and ask some one who does know what there doing...

I have a pair of this years Surface One Lives and Watch Lives, both mounted with FKS 140.

I weigh like 120 lbs, will probably put on 5-10 lbs by ski season and am 5'9"

however, i dont ski a park, and really charge big mountain lines and such. I have skied my whole life, and go fast and hard.

So... what din?

id say the one lives will be used for 10% deep pow 60% choppy pow 40% all mountain (no park)

For the watch lives: 30% park 60% all mountain 10% pow

when i say all mountain i mean moguls, charging steep chutes and such in hardpack, etc.

soooo... help me out NS?

Skis can usually be drilled up to three times so you shouldn't have a problem getting the bindings remounted. However, you might not be able to have the bindings mounted at exact center, depending on where the previous holes were drilled, because the new holes need to be a certain distance from the old holes for safety reasons.

This is not exactly about adjusting bindings, but the back part of my marker griffons popped off, it seemd that nothing broke, so i slid the binding back to the track mounted on the ski. It locked to its place and i just adjusted the length a bit so my boot could fit. It seems like it doesnt come off and holds there, but is it safe to ski or will it come off?

You really need to take your set up (with your boots) to your local shop or the mountain shop and have it checked out. Don't gamble with your knees, legs, hips, life.

Is the worm further forward than back on the track? Essentially having less threads in the track? Because that'll cause it to come off.

I have 06 Volkl Racetiger GS with Head 26.5 ski boots. The binding is set to 305 for boot sole length and it is easily adjustable. I just purchased Atomic HAWX 120 boots. I am satisfied with my DIN settings I do not want to change the DIN settings.
