Hey, I need your guys opinion. I was practicing 540s last nite and I crashed on one of them and I broke the brake on one of my bindings... Should I just take it off and tighten my binding up a bit so it doesnt run away or is that a bit dangerous I dunno. im looking for a cheaper fix

i broke my bindings doing 5's too. just make a cable loop that goes from your binding and hooks into one of your boot buckles. you can get the stuff from home depot.

don't tie your ski to your leg unless you want it to come back and smash into you while you roll down the mountain

when I was riding the Rossi axial 120s last year they broke almost every time I crash switch. No idea why, they would just pop off, they were pretty easy to fix as long as the plastic didn't break. notably, I'm riding p10's this year which aren't that different and they're fine...

But anyways, get them fixed, it's a huge pain in the ass when they shoot into the bush and you can't find the fuckers.
And definately do Not tighten them up... unless you like leg injuries then sure, why not

'I could be skiing right now.' Me in my friends car with some ladies at about 12 for lunch, they're singing, I'm bored, they weren't too happy, but they got the message and I went skiing sooner than I could've hoped

'hey baby, it's no good if your friends can't have none' My friend Dan, as he attempts to share and mack a broad at the same time

wow haha i didnt think this would work.. but i took a look at my old skis from a couple years ago and they had rossi bindings.. my bindings are rossi too.. so i take a look at the brake and its IDENTICAL to the ones on my bindings.. so i just take off the brake from one of my old skis and put that baby on my ski which had the broken brake and voila! perfect fit man im happy now heh..

Quit being cheap and just go buy a new one.

This year I hope to see more kids incorporating newschool with big mountain riding and getting out of the park.-Matt Levintal

yeah, same thing happened to my bro, first day out on his new LOOKs. Not sure if there's a flaw maybe with turntable type bindings or what, but we tried the string thing and it's not a good idea, skis do weird things when they're tied to your feet...I'd get it fixed properly.

Just get em fixed, riding without one is crazy dangerous, and you could end up never doing park again if you tighten up your binding, it's set where it is for a reason. So yeah just bite the bullet and go get it fixed.

i totally fucked my brake up falling off a rail a few weeks ago. I used them for the rest of the day and they were fine. the dude at the shop says they are unsafe so i take his word for it and he ships them out the rossignol to get warrenteed and replaced. rossignol didnt give me a warrentee but took it upon themselves to fix it for me. i got the bill, guees what, fucking 103 dollars that i have to pay or else i dont get my bindings back. what the hell coulda costed them 103 dollars!
