Marker Bindings On Skis
by whistlerpeek on Jul.16, 2010, under Take a few Ski Lessons
Question about some older Marker bindings?
I just got my first pair of skis from a ski swap and they came with Marker 7.1 bindings. They also have written on the bindings “Selective Control”, “Biometric” and “Logic”. Anyways, at the toe of the binding is a lever that can be moved to a setting of 1, 2 or 3, and no one I talked to can figure out what it does. Anyone know what this setting is for?
Okay. Thanks for the info on the flex pattern. I did a little more research and found the 3 settings to be for “free flex under foot”, “resistance flex underfoot”, and “no flex underfoot”. Could I get a little more explanation on what these mean? As a beginner/intermediate skiing mostly on groomed runs, what setting should I use?That changes the flex pattern of the ski if I remember them right. It changed the tension on the mounting rail so the ski was softer or stiffer depending on what you preferred. I have a set on my rocks skis but they are in Seattle and I’m not.
This was about the same time period that ESS had their VAR binding on the market. The VAR would easily slide from one position to another from center to forward to back with the flip of a lever. This was in the mid 90’s. Lots of fun if someone grabbed your skis when you weren’t looking and moved one forward and one back.
I got this info from a forum at http://www.epicski.com/forum/thread/56819/marker-selective-control-bindings#post_728901

Do you like these Oakley Glasses?
They are crazy orange and bright
do you like them or are they to extreme?Depends on more of what you looks are and what you are wearing. Personally, I think they’re kinda weird, but with the right style of clothing and hairdo it would look great!

Skis Roxy

quality of roxy skis?
i’m considering buying a pair of downhill skis, and i loveeeee the designs on roxy skis. (and i definately want cute skis.) i’ve heard mixed reviews on the actual quality of them, and i was wondering if anyone had heard anything about them or if anyone has owned/ own them or known someone who has.roxy is a generally new company in the ski industry and they are based off the look of the ski not the performance, ive never heard that it is a low quality in that it will fall apart but it is pretty much a low performance ski to ski on…if you are looking for a cool looking pair that is easy to ski on i would try Rossignol, either their all mountain or freestyle skis
thanks.
