so your 6ft and 145lbs? you should be in the 14din binding range at least. It's probably not that your dins arn't high enough its your on a kids/beginner bindings.

Theres a lot that could be affecting that. The fact that marker bindings release unexpectedly (or so I've heard), your BSL (which we need to know to give you accurate advice), forward pressure setting, all that BS. Also, don't just crank your din up whenever you prerelease. get everything checked out. Someday your ACL will thank you. I'm 6'2" 157 and I ski hard at a 9 din.

Like he said, go to a shop tech, and get them adjusted to the correct forward pressure and what not. From there the shop will give you a recommended din, you sign the waiver and you are of. If you feel that the din dint enough, by all means go home and crank it up but the risk of injury is much greater!

The brakes break on every single binding. If you come down hard switch...there is a pretty good chance that they are going to break no matter what binding you have.

from what i've saw yes the brake comes off the binding and just floats in the snow and then the guy just drills it back in the binding however tell me if its the same for you but the brake itself breaks so i spent 50$ on brakes last year because i was forced to buy new ones... might be because im too heavy when landing switch on those binding .
