My friend's skis ejected right after he popped of a table, he still committed to the spin and got sent with no skis on. Luckily he wasn't hurt. We later found out for some reason that his toes were on 4 and his heels were on 7.

i had mine at 8 when i pulled them off, then put them at 9 and they continued to fall off, so now i have em at 10 and i got shinbang right about then so i dunno how they work cuz i cant be aggressive with shinbang, i cant afterbang with shinbang... maybe it's the binding... but i jumped out of demo skis, so maybe that doesn't count

You need to use punctuation so you don't sound like a dumb fuck.

Snapped Tibia and Fibula.

Was in a hurry to hit some urban on an old pair of skis I hadn't used in a long time. In my haste, forgot to check the DIN, which was set at 2, for storage. As I pushed off, I left the skis behind, and slid down the inrun on my knees

18 - set and forget. Except when I go to that there play park. Then you need to lower to about 4 so your skis flex more and you can air ramps better.

i let one of my buddies ride my sticks one day for a few pipe runs. well, my buddy weighs about 40 lbs more than I do, but didn't bother to adjust the din to compensate. he goes to drop in to the pipe and double ejects right out of the heels and flat on his face sliding down the pipe wall. fucking hilarious.
