Justo8484 Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 anybody else see the new freeskier yet? is it me, or are their descriptions of a lot of skis way way off? apparently to them, anything under and 85 waist should never leave the park. i guess that makes sense if you only ski out west, but they didnt really give the skis a fair test by not testing anything back east at all. they're also pushing 15 to 18 DIN bindings to kids who definately dont need them.

KevinThomas Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 yea, it doesnt give very helpful advice for us on the east. It's still fun to read and see what's up...but i think some of their stuff is way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justo8484 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 just get your bindings checked out at a shop, they'll set everything correctly for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papasteeze Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 my din is at a 4 wrong... you are up to 5.5 now. we got you out of the junior binding settings at the beginning of last season due to pre- releasing on the take offs.

snorovr Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 haha he doesnt even know his own bindings his dad just changed um up haha at hats priceless... super duper guys Whats wrong with that? I didn't know shit about Din till I was like 15. Then again I didn't ski nearly as much as Nipples back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papasteeze Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 haha he doesnt even know his own bindings his dad just changed um up haha at hats priceless... super duper guys He probably just doesn't remember, however I bet he does remember the times he hit a jump and only had one ski on in flight. Another problem is the junior boots and adult bindings coupled with seriously worn heel and toe. Ski bindings don't protect your ACL no matter how high or low they are set. agreed, I found that out the hard way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justo8484 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Ski bindings don't protect your ACL no matter how high or low they are set. except the now-defunct line binding, because it could heel release laterally. well, it obviously wont totally eliminate ACL tears, but the way they released would greatly reduce strain on your knees. unfortunately, they were heavy, not durable, and had no industry backing.

Line might have marketed the lateral heel release thing as a "possible knee saver" but it's bull. Ski bindings protect from the top of the tibia down and protect bone. They don't and can't protect soft tissue(ligaments, cartelidge, tendons). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
