Do park skiers require a higher DIN setting?
My DIN setting based on my measurement and ski level is about 7.5
I was told recently, however, skiers who ski the park and freestyle a lot, which I do, should have at least a 10 DIN setting.
Is this true and should I really jump up a whole 2.5 just because I ski the park a lot?

If you can get away with skiing on the current settings you definitely want to. Cranking up the DINs increases your risk of injury especially knee injuries. Freestyle, as in bump skiing, may warrant it if you ski hard enough but unless you're having problems with popping out of your bindings you shouldn't raise the DINs. As far as park skiing, it only takes one botched spin off a 10 foot kicker to blow out your knee. If you are constantly popping out of your bindings, have them checked by a shop(often times it is merely a technique issue) otherwise keep them at the setting they are at until you reach a point that you can make an educated decision to adjust them. Keep in mind though, I turned my DINs down from the shop settings and ski 90% park with no problems.

leave you DIN where is it unless you skis are popping off when you land, then turn up the heel piece first to see if that helps, that way your bindings will still release for a twisting fall but will stay on during landings

of direction, extremely in case you have faith and in case you have the prospect to make sturdy exchange around you - what a ideal present Allah has given to you! Its only like Aisha (r.a), she grow to be extremely knowledgeable, as knowledgeable as pupils and she or he grow to be the main loved of prophet Muhammad (observed) different halves. yet only be sure you are attempting this with trustworthy intentions for Allah, and not for any form of compliment or glory you may get as a pacesetter. might Allah instruction manual you and strengthen you on your adventure. Salam. edit: of direction you may get a college degree, I studied for 3 years and at present graduated. even with the actuality that i did no longer learn drugs, or to grow to be a instructor or something like that (I studied trend and textiles), and that i'm extra advantageous for it! I learnt a pair of lot of social and environmental themes, that I likely would not have learnt if I had no longer studied. no longer understanding, might have meant lack of awareness, and as you already know, Islam teaches that lack of awareness is a risky concern. coaching counteracts lack of awareness, with it comes understand-how, and once you have understand-the way you have the skill to make the final judgements!

Probably, but if I were you I would go to a rental shop and ask or have them do it. You dont want to break your leg.
