A beautiful sight...

I Fucking Ski Awesome.
I think that means he wants his bindings glued to his boots. Da
We say III+ here, is that the same?
Very funny Sol. Seriously, when will my skis be ready? I have some eXTrEMe skiing to do this weekend? :D
Pretty fucking awesome. Guy is playing by his own rules and no fucking generic system set up by The Man can possibly include his rare gift.
Hey wait a minute.... that's my slip! :redface:
I have to admit to doing that once in the past, and also to listing my weight at 50+lbs more than the hulking 150lbs I'm at on another occassion to get the DIN jacked up from 6-7. Last shop mount I had there was a III+ option that put the DIN 8.5-9.5.
Ahh, the moment you try to convince the shop guy that you rip.
Isnt it easier to just crank up your DIN
And exactly how hard is it to find a posi-drive screwdriver? :nonono2:Quote:

if you were worried about using them immediately and not adjusting by yourself, writing "DIN x" on the slip and initialing it has always worked for me. I'd think the guy would be open to more liability by accepting that you were obviously 50 pounds under what you're writing on there...

And for proper release for me on the current Px12ti's it's FL 8.5,FR 9.0,BL 9.0 ,BR 9.5, which isn't something I'd have done on my own with a posi-drive.
Anyway, the slip notations were quite a few years ago in my early 20's with MRR's.
I'll be in Utah for a week 3/22-3/29 if anyone wants to make some turns with an ex-level IV skier.
Try the following next timeQuote:

Pozi-drive for mounting.
Large flat-head for DIN.
I'm the most extreme skier in my office. I'll see your III and raise you one level of radness.

ooooorrrrrrr you could just adjust it yourself.
Jesus- I'm a girl and even I know how to adjust my bindings.
<ot> Every girl I've ever helped/trained as a tech has impressed me by not sucking, not forgetting shit, and actually paying attention. Not every dude. </ot>
I wish I had a pic of the last one where the guy crossed off everything and wrote "RACER!"
Will that be one exclamation point or two, sir? Exclamation points translate directly to DIN:7881, don't you know?
Level IV = ski's the steeps, the bumps, ya know...the black stuff.
Shit. Here's mine:Quote:

HA....funny shit Jim.
I can never remember, and end up putting one. Given my skis are all like 130 in the tip, they usually figure it out.
Some of us have to keep the DIN at the shop setting if we want any chance of getting worker's comp when we break our legs... hence III+.
at my old shop I used to sell customers a screwdriver then buy it back a minute later.
the loopholes are are endless.
i bet all his amps go up to 11, too!
ding ding ding...we have a winner.Quote:

A fun thing to do is take an 11-17, put your skier type at 1, underreport your weight, and see if they call you before they mount it.Quote:

Back in the day we had a guy cross out the I,II,III thing, add an X, and then mark his level as XI. The boss found this funny enough to set the din where he wanted it.Quote:

Went back and found the forms...Dad didn't fuck up, bootsole clearly marked and correct...
The Dad wasn't pissed, just incredulous that I was telling him he needed all new bindings. Worked out well enough.
I will buy this from you. Right now.Quote:
