Skiing today I lost a ski twice.
First time was near/on Kaleidoscope, preskied bumpy soft snow. Got off my intended line, maybe a lil outta control. Got spun backwards, popped a ski and switch one ski tomahawked down the hill.
Second time was in the afternoon trying to hit some sweet jomps in the Whistler park. Landed just past the tranny knuckle on the second jump set up there and upon impact my ski popped off. i had to crash as I wasn't able to reign it all in before the snowboard crew on their lunchtime picnic.
First time the DIN setting likely did its job, or I'd still be up on the hill crying and waiting for patrol. Second time not so much.
Is it time to increase my DIN setpoint? And to what? Or should I say just say eff it and go all Spinal Tap on the DIN?
Facts:
-Beginner + ability
-~145 lbs rider weight
-Attack 13 Binders
-Current DIN Setpoint 6
As far as I can tell my super low DIN number is what is keeping myself from an energy drink sponsor and getting mad honeys.
Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:
ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.
