first pair of Rossi bindings ever and after this experience I will be unlikely to get another pair soon. Oddly, I'm about as big of a fan of Rossignol skis as you might find.....
Psst.... maybe the heel piece has to be adjusted. The little lever in the back lifts up so the piece can slide back a little. Just make sure the line stays on the yellow bar/window area when the boot is in the binding after the adjustment, that indicates the pressure is still right in that area. But I won't say that under oath.... better yet had the shop do it.


OK, from my experience, I had some slight problem getting into one of the bindings (look px12) with my old boots, after getting a new pair and having the heel piece moved up, it seems to have solve the problem.

oh, I'm aware, tried to wiggle them a bit myself and brought them into a pro twice....maybe the binding in general is good, but my particular pair SUCKS

My PX12's are a little funky to get into sometimes. They'll only close part way, but then they'll close the rest of the way when I lift my boot heel a little. I think it's only one of the bindings that does this, but it's not a big enough deal for me to really look into it too much.

bvibert,

My PX14's were the same way when I went from my Langes (307mm) to my Kryptons (306mm). It was the forward pressure. The ski shop moved the heel piece forward slightly until the yellow was halfway in the "window". Now they work fine.

When I set them up the yellow was half way in the window. Admittedly, I haven't checked the forward pressure since. Thanks for the tip. Maybe I'll time to play with it in the off season...

In regards to the Head Mad Trix ski.

snakes rule man, they rule.

the ski is awesome in bumps and yes, it is very stiff. I've had issues with them on rock hard bumps. they really really want to shoot out from under you. Other than that, i've used them every single day this year except for my first day out. Powder, crud, trees, ice, bumps you name it. Do they help outside the bumps, no. In the bumps they are freakin awesome. Just dont ski backseat on them.

And to offer my two cents on the binding question. Tim, dont get into this over analyzation of equiptment. I havent ever paid one iota of attention to what bindings i put on my skis except for price. I think i manage ok.

The look px and rossi is designed such that when the tab is within the yellow window, the pressure is "right", the DIN will work at the dialed setting.

As with powbmps, I went to a smaller boot, the reel heel had to move forward until the tab was within the yellow window.
