All Things Dynamic

generically called 'suicide heels' as they didn't release

The few times i needed forward release, the heels released fine.
Maybe a set up problem? (balance between forward and downward pressure)
Sideways, the toes work as related above. They just have no give for momentary pressures that should not release.

That said, i am fully cognizant that they were cheap heels designed for cheap skis. But they work about as good as elastomats, anyway.

Back in that time frame it probably would have been the Nevada I toe that had to be notched. When they came out with the Nevada II toe they did away with the notches. Years ago I had a pair of NOS Nevada I toes in the box. I figured that I was never going to use them and I was tight on storage space so in the trash they went. That was just before I found that other ski community.

They were popular amongst the SL racers. Not me, though. N17 from the start for me after Dover step ins.

I understand, my first bindings I think around 1967 or 1968 were Look II toe and N17's that I later added the centering device on the heel. I used them until I ripped off the toe and lifted the metal top sheets of my Fischer skis. I glued the top sheet back down, sealed up the toe holes and mounted a pair of Spademans. When I screwed down the AFD it really helped hold the top sheets in place.

The VR17s skied beautifully in the stiff then soft slop at the Basin yesterday.


I was comfortable and thrilled sufficiently to ski them all morning from 9 until 11 or so. Then it was off to grill some sausages.

Conditions didn't allow for a hard snow evaluation. In the soft I was able to get them to bend at moderate speed and really let them fly in GS turns. Small, soft moguls were easy to handle and quick SL turns worked well, too. I'm looking forward to skiing them next winter when I can use them on harder snow.

The bindings tested out perfectly on the Vermont Calibrator and had plenty of elasticity.
