What is the importance of DIN value adjustment for single-board and double-board fixer?

Fixator is the most important protective equipment for snowboarding. All skis have devices for fixing ski boots. When a skier falls, the anchor will loosen quickly, so it is one of the important protective devices to avoid skiing injuries.

The head and heel of the fixer are respectively provided with a DIN value indicating window and an adjusting screw. When adjusting the screw, the pointer in the indicator window will also move to indicate the DIN value. This DIN value is calculated according to everyone's technical level, height, weight and age.

The calculation of DIN value of each person can refer to the international standard release/retention adjustment (DIN) value table, and the steps are as follows:

1, determine the skier code. Find the weight of the skier in the first column of the table, and then find the height of the skier in the second column. If they are not in the same row, select the code near the top of the table.

2. The skier code selected in the first step is aimed at the first kind of junior skiers (skiers who mainly slide on gentle or even snowy roads can't judge what type they belong to, and they are also the first kind of skiers). Intermediate skiers of the second category (skiers between the first category and the third category) should choose the code near the following line. The third kind of advanced skiers (skiers who like to ski at high speed and steep slopes) come down after a line. If the skier is over 50, go up.

3. Find a line at the top of the table that matches the size of the skier's boot bottom (not the size of the ski boots, but the size of the boot bottom marked on the bottom side of each ski boot).

4. The value in the box where the skier's code line intersects the sole size column is the skier's release/retention value. If this cell is empty, select the value closest to the space in the same row.

5, according to the above release/retention (DIN) adjustment table, find out the value suitable for everyone. No matter which brand of fixator an individual uses, the head and heel should be adjusted to this value.

Extended data

How to choose skis:

1. Types of snowboards: The first and most common one is the all-round board, which is widely used in China, with moderate speed and hardness. The second is called the Park Committee. The common park board has two-way head, which is relatively slow and has the softest hardness, and is more suitable for flat fancy, box and rail. The third type is called alpine snowboard, which generally has a long, wide and thin head and a short, narrow and thick tail. This kind of snowboard has the fastest speed and the greatest hardness.

2. The basic parameters of snowboarding:

(1), length: For beginners, it is recommended that you subtract 20cm from your height, and you can float up and down by 3cm according to your weight and favorite gameplay. Those who are overweight and like to slide can choose to float up, while those who are lighter and like to play with flat boxes can choose to float down.

(2) Width: Width has three attributes: head width, tail width and waist width. Generally speaking, our main concern is waistline. Generally speaking, the width of the board selected according to the height is basically suitable, but some players with big feet may find that the board long enough is not wide enough. For example, the five toes are all outside, and the board is not wide enough. When sliding, it is easy to have an accident because the edge of the board cannot be used normally. Note, however, that boots and fixers slightly wider than the board are very normal.

(3) Hardness: Generally speaking, the harder the board is, the more stable it is at high speed, which is suitable for maintaining speed. The softer the board, the easier it is to complete the freestyle fancy movements. Choose different hardness according to your favorite sliding method. Weight also plays an important role in choosing different hardness types. For people of the same height, the heavier the board, the harder it should be, while the lighter the board, the softer it can be.

(4) Shape: it mainly refers to the shape and length of the head and tail of the plate, and has three parameters: orientation, twinning and taper. Directionality refers to the design with a long head and a relatively short tail. Standard orientation is mostly used for all-around boards. Taper is a directional shape, such as wide plate head and narrow plate tail, which is generally used for alpine plates; Twinning refers to the same shape and length of the head and tail of the board, which is generally suitable for park boards.

(5) Elasticity: It is mainly used to describe the hardness and elasticity of the plate head and the plate tail, and there are two main parameters: directionality and twinning. For directionality, the thickness of the head and tail of the plate is different, which leads to different elasticity. Generally speaking, the FLEX property of Freeride will be such a parameter; For Twin, it means that the head and tail of the board have the same thickness, so the elasticity is the same. This parameter is generally used for all-around boards and park boards.

(6) Effective side length: that is, the length of the snowboard blade effectively contacting the snow surface. Intuitively, the Freeride board looks more concave and convex, and the free ride looks straighter. The purpose is to make the freestyle board contact with the snow less, so that the players can make more butter and turn around without losing control because the effective side length is too large. Freeride's board is more stable and powerful through the longer contact length with snow, and the turning is also very fast and accurate.
