Thread: about Binding Rossignol Scratch 100 / P10

i just install a pair of this new rossignol scratch 100 bindings in my teneighty GUN salomon.
and i have to ask...

anybody know anything about this bindings?
there are good or just crap?

am worry about the AFD release system...

thanks!

Well, it's too late now. You done went and mounted em.

What B-S said.

We have no idea what DIN you run or how you ski, anyway.

But at this point, what's the point?

^^what he said.

For constructive advice add your height, weight, ability, length ski they've gone onto and what type of skiing you like to do and then it doesn't matter anyway 'cause they're already on. But I suppose it'll give you confidence knowing it's all good...or the other one...

am 181 cm tall, and 198 Lbs...
and i am a rookie skiing... but i know how to ski.
am from south america, so the season starts at june...

and i buy my first skis, salomon 1080 gun for ski in powder "175 cm."
then i install this bindings in my skis and i think... "maybe i can buy better bindings"...
and maybe here someone have some experience with this bindings...
there are DIN: 10...

so i want to know, i buy better bindings like Scratch 140 ti, our i learn with this?

am not very good writing in english... but i hope you understand me

thanks

As a beginning skier, a 10 DIN binding should be fine. I am a little taller and a little heavier than you, have been skiing more than 30 years, and ski a 9 or 10 DIN.

Considering your username I figured you were just drunk

Those bindings are fine, when you do find yourself wanting higher end bindings you'll also probably be looking for bigger skis, but what you have sounds good for your current level

A lot of it comes down to how confident you feel in your skiing, and your choice of line. On a really technical, high consequence line you can't afford binding release. In an open bowl worst case scenario you have to hike to get your skis after they release. However if your bindings roll out jump turning in a tight chute above a 100ft cliff to rocks you could be in a lot of trouble. The downside to turning your DIN way up is that in a fall if your bindings do not release it could lead to injury. I'm 160lb 182cm and ski a DIN of 8 on most bindings. As far as I know you shouldn't set your bindings to their maximum DIN... i.e. a 12 DIN binding (which is what i ski on most) should probably stay below 10.5. I found an article that might help you out a little. It outlines the technical aspects of bindings in a pretty reader friendly way.

For your size and experience level, I think you should be fine on those bindings.

thank you all for the info...
am much more confident right now about my bindings.

i cant wait to the winter season here in Chile.

thanks for everything again!

I wouldn't worry about the AFD- it's the same as the old Rossi/Look pivot toepiece. That's a favorite binding design around these parts. The heelpiece is what was redesigned two years ago.
