Yep. Keep my 900s at 13-14, while the 916s work fine at 11-12.

Just have two observations about the discussion in this thread so far.
1) Isn't the age of your bindings also something to consider when setting your DIN. The older the bindings the more likely the DIN needs to be raised. However, I guess everyone else here is spancered or gets new bindings every year.
2) Damn people are skinny here, eat something."Don't drive angry."

I feel so inferior.
I voted 8, but then I checked, and I'm closer to 8.5/9. Freerides.
And then, with all this talk, I clicked in, and yep, I can release standing still, with my wimpy little AT boots.
Hmmm.
I do crank them up to 11 when I don't want a ski coming off, and I just ski more conservatively on the flats.

No worries, I have Dynafits, too.

I think if I put dynafits on my skis i would murder them within 1 hour of skiing. Unless i can set them at 24. In which case I am so fucking in.

I keep my bindings set around 9 or 10, and I'm about 5'4" and 130 pounds. I'm pretty small, but I jump a alot and keeping the din that high works pretty well, I still prerelease a bit, though.

With my weight and boot length at the "extremo" column on the DIN charts I'm a 8.5.

You might prerelease a bunch, but you won't destroy them. They're hard to destroy.
And given the softness of Dynafit compatible boots, you might not even prerelease!
Plus, the new Dynafit goes to 12 this year.
Or just get the race Dynafits that don't have lateral release.

By murder, i mean i would take my ski pole, and physically murder them.

A pole won't help you much. It would take a #3 pozidrive and a tiny allen wrench.
I bet their metal to plastic mass ratio is higher than P18s. Bragging rights, baby!

5'11", 185lbs. and I ski my P18's at 10-11 early season, 12-14 usually.
It's heartbreaking to see a chick who's too anorexic.

I end up leaving my fronts lower than the rear. My tall stature allows the rear to heal lift out at lower settings, but my low body wieght wont twist out of the fronts correctly at the same setting. It's the tall skinny guy combo.

I no longer mess with bindings. I'm now using Velcro and have had zero problems. As far as weight savings...wow!

I've read studies that said you could still tear an ACL if your bindings were set at the lowest possible settings. It doesn't take much force at all, and I know when I blew my knee skiing it wasn't a motion that would have made my bindings even try to release - my foot stayed still and I fell backwards and to the side (in bumps). My lesson learned out of the whole thing was to quit pushing myself when I'm too tired and sore - that's when I'm going to get hurt. My DIN setting was where it was supposed to be and I don't believe it would have made any difference if it was set lower or higher."Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "Wow, what a Ride!"
