Elan Fusion Bindings
 

Having just made an awesome deal on a new pair of Magfire 78Ti's, I'd like
to find out more about the built-in Fusion Bindings.
Can anyone point me to a copy of the manual for them?
Elan distributors in Australia don't provide one with the skis.

I've worked all the easy stuff out.
What I'd like some advice on is how to decide wether or not to bias the boot
forward or rearward of the 'centre point'.

Good luck! I've got rental bindings on my Elan skis and couldn't tell any
difference between the extremes. If it matters, they're the original "shaped" ski.

Theory has it that women should set it so their weight is forward because that's
where our weight is. Maybe it matters if you're Dolly Parton. I'm about 1/3 of
the way to Dolly Parton from Jamie Lee Curtis.

I'm not familiar with the Elan bindings, but the Atomic bindings that
had this feature were pretty easy to set. Move the bindings forward for
more control, move them back for more speed, put 'em in the middle for a
compromise.

As far as making the decision, just try them at the different settings
and see which one feels best. It ain't exactly rocket surgery.

Actually, the theory is that women tend to carry excess weight further
back and lower than men, so you move the bindings forward to move the
center-of-mass forward.

See Jeanie Thoren's site (http://www.jeanniethoren.com/theory1.htm) for
more detail. I have no idea what she'd do if Dolly Parton showed up at
one of her clinics.

So where should guys with large boobs set their bindings?

According to what I read, since she is clearly shaped like a male inverted pear,
she should move her bindings back.

Who cares, as long as they're not running around in a Speedo.

Thanks for the laughs folks!
I'll play with the bindings when I get a chance (June/July?) and send
feedback.
