general questions about bindings

I'm new to the freeskiing world, so:
I'm 6'3, I weigh 160pounds and the solelength of my boots is 322mm. That would mean I'm a DIN 6, I guess. If I adjust them at 6, will I lose them easily on powder? I heard freeskiers often adjust their bindings very hard. Once I saw a ski teacher falling hard on a 360 and his bindings didn't release. Is that normal? How do I have to adjust my bindings when skiing park? Do I have to buy a high-din binding or can I still ride a cheaper low-din binding?
Please don't feel offended if those questions are too stupid :)

wow dude....just ride, and if you keep popping out of your binders, then tighten up....its really a personal thing, and we have no idea how you ski

6 is quite low, I'd think you'd pop out of them often in bumps or hard landings. I'm 6'3 155 and usually have them set between 8-10 depending on which binding I'm using. But take Z's advice to start.

So, I want to paint my ski's. Can I pull the bindings and then put them back in the old holes? Or do I need to remount them if I do that?

I have some skis with Marker bindings. Don't know how old they are, but probably 6-8 years old. Just bought my daughter new boots and need to know how to adjust the bindings to fit the boots, AND according to her height/weight/skiing ability. Where can I find a chart?

Jeebus Christ JONG, thats pretty impressive that you found a thread from over 5 years ago.

Anyway, uhh google? Something like this? http://www.dinsetting.com/

thanks for the link, bfree. to show you how long its been since i skied, i didn't even know they're called DIN settings. anyway, someone told me bindings have a limited useful life - which makes perfect sense since they are mechanical and depend on springs to work - but i'm wondering if there's a way to tell if the bindings i have are still good? like a torque test or pressure release test that doesn't require special equipment or tools?

if you don't know what you're doing when adjusting bindings, take them to your ski shop. your knees will thank you. if you want to learn more, take along a 6 pack.
