What do you guys feel about this kind of situation and crankin up one half or one full setting? Im not a certified tech or even know or would even try to set up my own bindings, but ive been skiing for 13 years now with this same question. How does this all work? Are din settings compensated for this extra weight? because the next day i may be over at Alyeska not needing all that extra gear/weight. Now my total body weight is closer to 220 lbs now. of course i have all my ski gear on to include helmet and goggles and jacket pants etc.all that probably weighs close to 8 more lbs. And im feeling spicy, so instead of skiing at Alyeska once again me and my bro's decide to ride the snowmachines up hatchers pass or something like that, so i have my pack on with my shovel probe and beacon in it, not to mention some water and granola. With my gear on and depending on the day, say my Tecnica Agent 110's weigh, well shit i have no clue, its gotta be at least 7 lbs though easy. What i want to know is i wrote my weight down at 192lbs, thats pretty much a pair of gym shorts and t-shirt, no shoes. I dont have a problem with them at all, i like them just how they are. which is awesome, never had a problem pre releasing or them staying on when its bail out time. I am 5'11", 192 lbs, with a 334mm sole length. But, I take my skis to the shop, say.REI or Peter Glenn, about the only two shops that can get something done at a decent pace here in Anchorage, AK and i get my shit set up. I understand theres a problem with just crankin your bindings on the go and not testing them and all that stuff. Not with adjusting bindings.Īlright, so now i do have a good safety question and why shops do things the way they do. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. When adjusting bindings, "close" doesn’t count. Do not attempt to adjust bindings yourself.
Leave it to someone who knows what there doing. Trust me when I say this: DO NOT ADVISE ON BINDING SETUP OVER NS. You cant see they quality of a product over the web, so insist someone brings the skis into a shop to get them adjusted. To properly setup a bindings, you need to perform a visual test of the products given, Boot, binding, and ski. They bust themselves, and you are left liable for what you suggested on setup, which can royally fuck you over (read mega lawsuit).Įven a Certified Tech should not give out information over the Web/NS.
Rossignol certification test how to#
Now, same example, but replace "JOE SHOP GUY" with "Dumbass user" Your not a tech, you don’t know how to properly adjust a binding, and you advise on how to setup a binding to someone over NS. The custy, then tries to sue the shop for setting up the bindings improperly, which is when lawyers will get involved, and more then likely the manufacture of the binding will back up the tech. The customer, goes skiing, hits a jump, and for whatever reason blows out or doesn’t blow out of his bindings, causing himself to blow his knee. Say Joe shop guy ( a certified tech) sets a customers skis. But they wont back your ass up on giving advice over NS. They (read manufacture) will back up a Certified Tech, being that they understand and have taken a test on how the certain bindings work. You don’t know what your risking by advising someone on a indicator setting, or how to adjust forward pressure.īinding company’s such as Rossi/Look/Roxy, or Salomon/Atomic, or Marker, have full time lawyers who have to deal with settlements with bindings, more then you think. Anyone giving out ANY information on how to setup bindings of NS is completely retarded. (not a claim, I'm just give you my background in the industry)īinding adjustment should be left to a Certified Tech. 5+ years working at an on mtn shop, 4 + years with Rossignol Ski Co. I'm gonna have to give my 2 cents on this one.įirst off, I'm going to give you my brief background.
