nano one

[kwray]

Need help,can't get my nano one to go on edge!!

[Horton]

You have to give more information. Skiing level - Settings - weight - .......

[Than_Bogan]

Hopefully not sounding like a pompous jerk here, but: What do you mean? How could you stop a ski from going on edge?

[kwray]

I ski 34 mph run 22 and 28 off,the new ski seems very hard to edge change,even on the pull out for the gates.

ski is set at factory settings and i am using goode hard shell bindings.

[Than_Bogan]

I'd really like to help, but I think we still need a LOT more information.

 

Are the bindings new to you? What ski/bindings did you come off of?

 

So you're standing in the trough or the whitewash (which one?) and then you start to do what and then the ski does what?

 

Any chance of some video to see these symptoms?

 

I'm guessing that what you're experiencing is something I would give a different name to, because I don't understand how a ski can be difficult to edge change. I've definitely experienced "edge seeking" where if you stand neutral it jumps back and forth, but if you lean a ski over, then it's on the edge. It can't stop that.

 

Sorry to be so useless and confused (so far)!

[kwray]

The bindings are new, good hard shells,,when I pull out for the gates it doesn't want to get over on edge, same feeling when going into one ball, fells like a ski with the fin too deep.

 

I was skiing on a 2007 radar mpd with animal bindings !

[Than_Bogan]

I strongly discourage changing skis and bindings at the same time. Even more if change the TYPE of binding. Way too many variables. Get the N1 dialed in with your old bindings first.

[Horton]

Changing bindings and ski at the same time can be hard. I suggest you do one at a time.

[kwray]

Ok that sounds good, thanks for the help guys !!!!!

[Chuck_Dickey]

Put your old binding on the new ski or put the new boots on the old ski. Get use to one before changing both. I'd go for the old bindings on the new ski.

[kwray]

Oh and a new boat with zero off to add to the mix !!

[Chuck_Dickey]

Now that's what I call compound a problem.

[TWB]

I had the same problem when going from Animals to hard shells.

[Chuck_Dickey]

You can also try loosening the buckles a bit so your ankles flex laterally like they do in rubber boots

[Horton]

@Chuck Dickey I do not think that is recommended. in the case of a fall you want all of the energy to be transferred to the bindings so they can pull the plate off the ski. If you run the buckles loose enough so your ankle can move around you will take more stress before the boot will release.

[DW]

@TWB: Interesting, what was you solution to the problem? Did you stay on hardshells, if so why?

[kwray]

I went to the hard shells for comfort,my feet cramp in rubber boots.

I will put the old bindings back on to dial the ski in.

[kwray]

The fin is set to factory after i had to buy the 2nd gen slot calipers.

@Horton

@kwray

 

Ya, I should have clarified not too loose that they will come out in a fall, release before injury is the key.

[Horton]

My point is if your ankle can move up 1/2 inch or more in the boots that will impact the way the boots release from the ski.

[BraceMaker]

Never run em so loose they would come out in the fall, but I've felt what Horton was referencing, too loose by the time you hit the buckle it is stopping your motion, the buckle shouldn't have slack to take up, but you don't need them so tight that your foot is in constant pressure. You just need them to be up against the liner so the foot pulls the boot off the ski.

[Horton]

@BraceMaker I think we are on the same page. When I destroyed my right foot, my heel was able to lift pretty far before the release should have happened. The result is that my foot was in a worse position for the stress, under more stress and the release happened later than it should have.

 

(ok it never released - was not in powershells but same thing could happen.)
