skidude Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Ohh well in that case, its not actully important if the bindings release or not... Quote
snorovr Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Get the right equipment for the job man... There is a reason that park/jib skis and bindings are made the way they are. Quote
Ski Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 What skis and bindings are they? I worked on and off in a shop back then. One of the problems you might have comes from a combination of the cement/glue that's dripped into the hole where the screws are inserted and the fact that you likely have a very old wood core. There's no rail that the binding rides on, correct? Any chance they have leashes? Quote

I guess its cause hes a freestyler Quote
Metz the Jersey boy Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Hmm... interesting ski... what shop could that have been... Might I know of this particular ski shop? Quote

What a dick I am. But, yeah, I don't mess with race plates. I prefer having someone that makes a living working with them do the mounting. Hmm... interesting ski... what shop could that have been... Might I know of this particular ski shop? No, I was just some high school kid slave freaking labor for your favorite shop, Metzy...I was talking about a shop at Mt. Tom. Quote
soccer911 Posted December 10, 2006 Author Report Posted December 10, 2006 theres no rails that the bindings ride on.. and yes they do have leashes. and about 95 percent of the binding is made of metal Quote
Justo8484 Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 theres no rails that the bindings ride on.. and yes they do have leashes. and about 95 percent of the binding is made of metal hang them on the wall. thats all they are good for. i would not risk my knees sliding a rail on a setup like that. ever.

skifreak Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 I wouldn't really use these bindings Quote
Schif Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 I'm no old binding expert but would they even work with a newer pair of boots? Quote
nick malozzi Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 this kid is going to kill himself... skis from 1980, and PVC backyard rails. wow. Quote
Glenn Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 this kid is going to kill himself... skis from 1980, and PVC backyard rails. wow. Hey that's urban backyard rails buster. Quote
meggles Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 (edited) hang them on the wall. thats all they are good for. i would not risk my knees sliding a rail on a setup like that. ever. word seriously though, if youre a park skier..thats what you get skis for..hitting rails and shit..do yourself a favor and just hit jibs with your regular skis..are they twins or what?

Justin Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 (edited) I wouldn't risk hitting up urban rails with them. Search eBay and NS for some old trashed twins....but you most definitely NEED a separate pair of skis for urban, seeing as your landing is usually an asphalt parking lot.

skifreak Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 they twins or what? Did they have twins in the 80's? I always thought that was something more recent. Quote
meggles Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 definitely talking about his 150 buck skis, not the ones he got at the yard sale Quote
skifreak Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 Oh ok. I thought you meant the cheap ones Quote
Justo8484 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Posted December 11, 2006 Did they have twins in the 80's? I always thought that was something more recent. olin mark IV Quote
