Simojo Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I saw Rossi's post about binding & fin adjustments for skiers using a RTP. I use a Venom front binding and RTP and can only adjust my FB in 1/4" increments; any recommendations as to whether to move forward the 1/4" or stay @ 29.5" (for a 67" 2010 Strada). I'm skiing @ 32 mph and in choppy conditions the tail of the ski wants to slide around a lot and I'm having trouble finding settings that feel comfortable. I don't understand binding placement very well, but it seems moving forward may have the opposite effect of what I want. Can leaving the FB @ 29.5" (stock) but moving the RTP help the tail slide? I just picked this ski up a couple of weeks ago and have been playing with different "stock" numbers (Radar's website, Rossi's posts in this thread, Deanoski's posts (not necessarily stock, but we have a similar build)) but have only found 1 set that was marginally comfortable. Those were 29.5, 2.495, 6.84, .77, & 9 deg. In the video below the water was about 10 deg warmer and I didn't notice the tail slide. Then: Now: Any recommendations? Thanks! Like I said, it's probably more skier than ski, but what if...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chris Rossi Posted September 18, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 18, 2011 Simojo, What are your settings in the bottom video? Looks like your ski tip finishes the turn very high on both sides. Things that could fix this are bindings forward, fin longer, fin back, or fin shallower.

Simojo Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Chris, 29.75 2.500 6.851 .775 9 deg I tried to adjust the stock numbers based on your comments for skiers using a RTP ( I can only move my FB in 1/4" increments). The tail of the ski feels very loose and slides around more than what it did in the first video; I can't tell if its skier, cooler water, or what. Thanks for your input; it's much appreciated!

Simojo Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Chris, I set up my ski to the numbers you posted above & tried to focus more on keeping my tip down. Things felt a lot better, but as you can see from the video, I still have a lot of tip rise. Is there any merit to moving my front boot to 29.75" but leaving my RTP where it is? I usually move them together. Thanks a lot for the help! I donated to Horton's tip jar, but feel like I should donate to yours as well! Like @Bruce55 said, it is awesome to be able to speak directly to the guys who are designing and riding these products; providing us with your time and patience is truly fantastic and much appreciated!
