Alpine bindings w/ AT boots?

[1000-oaks]

Typhoon is absolutely a DIN/ISO sole...no different than an alpine boot sole other than the rubber surface.

[srsosbso]

I'm pretty sure that an AT sole would not release reliably, laterally at least, in an alpine binding. Hugh Conway has stated otherwise, and I'd be really interested to know upon what his opinion is based.

[Hugh Conway]

srsosobo is right.

you'll die.

[srsosbso]

Well, that's helpful. Thanks very much, Hugh.

I love the "not safe" bullshit

It's not bullshit to state that AT boots crammed into alpine bindings are not "safe." Then again, skiing (and life itself) is pretty dangerous!

[AsheanMT]

Anybody who thinks its just fine has obviously never worked on bindings before. Seriously, just place an AT boot into an alpine binding with and adjustable toe height and see just how much you have to move that toe piece to accommodate an AT toe.

Putting AT boots in alpine binders is like putting motorcycle tires on a bicycle.

Hugh Conway does this all the time, whenever this question pops up. He makes disparaging remarks about other people's opinions, and then declines, even when politely and diplomatically asked, to provide his own reasoning. C'mon Hugh, contribute to the discussion by explaining yourself in an intelligible fashion, or else shut the fuck up.

A dithering fuck like yourself is telling someone to shut up?

The DIN tests have been done; you can look at the results and say +/- a couple is cool, or it will kill me. Given people rave over the Flaming srsosbso POS that are Dynafits when it comes to releasing, I think it's fine.

XXX-er the reason the course workers and coaches are using those boots is that they are standing around on a 45* hockey rink for most of the day and the touring boot stays warmer (or feels warmer) on the feet tahn their alpine boots
i can assure you that if they were skiing they would all be in their alpine boots...

I'm telling you to shut up because when I ask you, rather politely I might add, to explain your reasoning, you say nothing. You just make an inane series of adolescent comments about other people's opinions. Are you 12 years old?

I saw the DIN tests, they say that they could be off by " up to 4 DIN"- enough to break a leg or tear up an ACL. No one but you said anything about anyone dying. Are you incapable of reading?

If you want to set your DIN at 8 and have it really be 12, fly at 'er. Most people would see that as unwise.

What an ass you are.

AT soles walk better too ,I know thats why I had on my AT soles ,its about comfort and convienience ,if I go back I will be rocking AT or tele ... not alpine

the alpine snowboard coach for " A national team " is a local guy and he always wears tele boots ... dude doesnt even snow board

An ACL will tear before a properly set binding will release. So why don't you STFU? MMMK? And if your leg breaks from that increase - try milk instead of sperm.

I'm askin you to STFU because, well, you bore me.
