I took my skis to a local chinese fruit and vegetable shop. The Chinese guy who owns the shop set up my bindings. He cant speak english very well but he said he did learn how to do this on you tube. Only charged me $3.00, very cheap a bargain. He has never skied but he had a very good screw driver and knew how to use the screwdriver
I just got a knee injury from skiing and I’m rlly bummed but I’m looking to take precautions to prevent it from happening in the future. It looks like I already had a minor injury from swimming that was barely noticeable and my DIN was too high, hopefully I can avoid knee injuries in the future.
Hi I have a question. My bindings are for grip walk boots, but I just bought new lange boots and I see that they are not grip walk boots, they are flat bottom ISO 5355. They are new but leftover from season 2021. Will I be able to set up these boots for the grip walk bindings?
There was this guy at my school who maxed out the DIN value before a race, he fell and broke both legs... I wouldn't recommend going beyond your weight
I tore my meniscus in both knees along with another ligament that runs along the outer knee (don’t remember). Mine is set at a 5 and didn’t release and it should be @5.5 according to this. Makes me question any of this.
Bindings won’t help much with knee injuries, they’re designed for lower leg fractures instead (which were the most common ski injury before release bindings were invented. Din settings still help with knee injuries, but your acl problem might have been just bad luck!
Great video! I have the same Marker F12 too! One quick question, does the 5,5 on the chart mean 5 on the toe piece and 5 on the heel piece, or 5.5 on both?
I tore my meniscus in both knees along with another ligament that runs along the outer knee (don’t remember). Mine is set at a 5 and didn’t release and it should be @5.5 according to this. Prior to the adjustments it was set to low and ski were coming off as I was walking the ladder so to speak. Makes me question any of this.
If you still care, you are supposed to take the row higher on the chart not lower like he said. For example, you weigh 130 pound but your 5 foot 8 then you would do the 130 row since its nearer to the top then the height row
Nice vid, one question though: I was at the local store and they set the toe to 8.0 and the heel to 6.0, is there any reason to do that or did he just fuck it up?
if it is a good ski shop the usually have a "testing machine" in wich they can measure the "real" DIN-value (because somtimes the numbers on the binding are not accurate). But to be sure just go ahead and ask them ;)
if the weight and height doesn't mix correctly we go for the weight column, right? for example my weight is 85 kg and height 173 cm and for the range of 85 kg de height starts at 179 cm.
If the height and weight do not fall on the same line you move up the chart. If a skier is short but heavy for their height you go with the number that is up the chart. If you are only 160cm but weigh 90 kg go with the height 160cm line. This is related to body size and the ability of bones to resist breaking. If you are short but heavy it does not mean your leg can withstand more torque in a fall. Bones don't get stronger as you gain weight! The DIN setting also get lower as the boot sole gets longer. Longer sole puts more torque or leverage on your leg.
Me I'm usually 9 to 10 regardless of DIN info. I've had snow face many times growing up when ski's left my body doing moguls, jumps so as my experience gained I'm where I'm at now where I need my boards pretty much glued to me! LOL.
The DIN table that techs use is more of a starting point or guideline. If you're prematurely releasing then you can certainly go up a notch. Obviously you know what you need best, which is the point he brought up at 3:38

The explanation on how to read the DIN chart is incorrect. If you height and weight are not on the same line you move up the chart and use the lower number. There are apps that will calculate this for you but this guy is wrong on how to use a DIN chart. Using a force measuring tool is the only accurate way to know that the setting is releasing at correct value.
For real? I'm experienced enough to set it the way I want it.Usually it's 9 or 9.5.No shop will go with these settings. All that legal BS. I'm setting it up for myself and understand dangers of setting higher DIN. Like not releasing at lower speeds, in fact I already injured myself once that way, not too bad.But it would be nothing having your ski come off going at high speed and hitting a bump or something. Like car crash. Low speed, replace bumper, high speed, death!
If this dude is this stoked about DIN values, imagine what he's like on the slopes...
Hello from Colorado, USA! I'm a noob who just bought his first set of skis and I found this extremely helpful. Thanks so much!
Dude, great videos. So easy to understand and follow. Well done!
Thank you SOOOOO much. That was awesome. So much simpler than I ever thought. You are a legend!
Thank you! You saved me two 1-hour round-trips to the ski shop, not to mention the $59 they would charge to do what I can do so easily at home!
Great stuff brah! Just bought my first pair of ski's today and I can't wait to try them out! Whooohoooooww!!
Thanks for the video and regards from Patagonia , Argentina

This guy is great and gets right to it!
Love your energy and hair!
Well done and simply explained. Thank you!

Good advice, short sweet and accurate.
It should be mentioned the DIN setting is one of the few standardized settings on an alpine ski binding (see ISO 8364).

best part of the video
great job
Danke schön für dein video. Thanks for the video!
Nice explanation, thanks!
Cool advice and very easy to understand. Thanks a lot 👍🎿
Very great video! You took up all important stuff I wondered about
Thank you for your video. Just to be sure, if I am 160 cm tall but my wait is 95 and my boots are 300 mm. Do I adjust to 8?
Thanks for the video!
Thanks, man!
Good job bro 👏
Great info Thank you. You explain this very well and deserve credit.
Thank you. This is great info.
Nice video man! Thanks!
I know how to set my ski boots, thanks
Really useful! Thanks
so helpful!

I know guy who put din-value too high and skis didnt get off when he crashed and the result was two broken knees...
There was this guy at my school who maxed out the DIN value before a race, he fell and broke both legs... I wouldn't recommend going beyond your weight
Does it matter if you set the din value with the boot in the binding? Or should it not be in the binding when changing the din?
Thanx, great information
i got one too hard one time and one didn’t release and i tore my acl last year 😬 so thats why im here

5.5 on both
it means 5.5 on both ;)
The chart is in German. In Europe the comma is used as the decimal, in case you got confused with 5,5 which actually is 5.5

What do I do if I stripped the DIN screw?
Good Advice,stay within your DIN value.

i would go for the one that is further down ;)

Marker Comp 30.0 DIN 18-30. Probably going to the hospital crashing at those settings.
Not if you're 300 kgs. :))
i just crank mine to 30 and send it
😂😂
Every other din graph I have taken has me at 5,,,, your graph has me at 6.
He changed his trousers during this video.
That is a heck of a set Shawn Spencer skills you got!! Good catch
So he did! had to check haha from black to blue. Musta had a little accident ;)
😅 if you are hurt it is not my fault. 😄Beginner just go to the shop.

Insurance. Bahahahahaha
do you even know what din stands for?
Deutsche Industrie Norm ;)
See your certified tech, did you establish proper forward pressure? Probably not. Your simply putting people in danger.

The forward pressure was properly established in the "How to Set Up Your Ski Binding" video.
Wrong information on how to figure the din. Do not risk your legs with this guy
