Baller roda Posted March 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 24, 2014 After 6 years on an D3 RCx and not making much progress (slow learner) I am trying a new ski to see if it will help add some consistency to my runs. I am 5'7" @ 155lbs and when I was trying skis back in '08 was on the bubble between 65" & 66" skis. I opted for the 65" but never have been very consistent. I run 22 @ 34 somewhat consistently but feel like the ski has a small sweet spot. I picked up a 66" '13 Radar Vice-C thinking the longer ski might help w/ some stability. First few passes I can hardly turn on my off side. Ski is set up per stock #'s from what I could find from Rossi/Rini posting. After 1st set I moved the bindings forward a hole (Strada dual plate) and it turns faster but not really stable. I know I need a more rides but looking for any advice to speed up the process when running a longer ski when you are on the bubble size wise. I have not skied it with the wing as I haven't been using one on the D3. Thanks in advance for any advice. -Rod A. PS: where can you find fin/binding settings for the Vice? The Radar site gets an 'A' for artistic content but can't seem to find the info for the skis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DmaxJC_ski Posted March 24, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm no pro but you can probably set it the same as the strada, Rossi has a general setup vid on YouTube, I had Matt Rini set my ski in Florida last spring and wow who knew how much difference it makes!

Baller ForrestGump Posted March 25, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 25, 2014 What are your fin and bind numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller roda Posted March 25, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted March 25, 2014 @ShaneH: I didn't write them down but they were all spot on or only a couple thousands off of these: 2.51 / 6.84 / 0.755. Started with front binding at 28 5/8 and then moved it forward one hole (didn't remeasure) after 1st set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chris Rossi Posted March 25, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 25, 2014 Try the following numbers @roda: 28 3/4" 2.500 6.855 0.755 9 Should help with what you described Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted March 25, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 25, 2014 I believe Rossi recommends starting with bindings at 28 7/8 on the Radar 66's(both the strada and vices). So moving forward one hole put you close to that. You may in fact need another hole forward. I'd use @chrisrossi 's strada numbers, unless he comments with something better. 28 7/8" 2.505 6.843 0.755 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
