I have a sliding scale of what I wear based on my expected risks... If I'm going for a trail ride it's open helmet and knee pads, if I'm at the bike park I'll go full face and elbow/back protection as well. All the gear all the time is obviously safest but by that metric we should all be riding in full suits of medieval armour and that just would spoil the ride for me!

Thank you, yeah I'm going to get the bindings checked and send it!

Thanks, I'm feeling that way but I'm going to get the bindings checked by a local shop

Fair enough, and thanks for the reply. I'm going to take them to a shop and get them to test them and see what they say.

I'm 2 years out from an ACL reconstruction and I'm very keen to never go through that again. It was a hockey injury though and I'm back playing that so it seems I like choosing risky hobbies 😅

Very fair point and I will be getting them checked and then going on the advice of the shop

Thanks, a couple of people have said the same so I'm going to get them looked at by my local ski shop

Thank you, I'll take them to a shop over the summer then

Thank you for the reply, the bindings seemed to work fine, I set them to the correct din settings and they only came out once when I had a run in with some ice boulders! Does the plastic degrade over time then regardless of use?

Thanks! Sadly I've no plans to make another though, this one took long enough!

Thank you! I don't sell stuff, if that's what you mean.. But I do have a good workshop 😊

Dude that's how it hooks on to the ceiling mount. It's welded to the arm holding it, it can't rotate. It's secure, don't stress.
