Just back from St Anton. Cracking holiday. Problem was this. I have Atomic BetaRide 10.2 skis about 4 years old now, and have skied on them about 32 days.

They come with Atomic bindings, which are the only ones which can be fitted to the raiser plates. I have had problems with premature release from the bindings in the past, for which did something a couple of years ago.This year, I hear several places no longer stock Atomic skis, not because of the skis, but because they only come with Atomic bindings, and certain people think they are dangerous.Well, I certainly do now too. I had several falls in the first day or two of my holiday last week, and was suspicious of the bindings releasing very early on all but one occasion. One of my falls could have been horrendous, but thankfully in the soft snow it didnt hurt too much as I fell about 200 yards down a steep bit of Rendl into a gully. It became too much when I found I could just walk out of my skis.So the skis went to a ski shop for a check. The bindings expert there just looked at them and sort of grinned.

'Ah ze Atomic binding probem'. I had to have new bindings. And yes, the only ones I could have were another pair of Atomics. And, the man tells me, I may well have the same problem with them again.What else could I do? I will be writing to Atomic, and wont be buying their skis again, but that doesnt stop me being very wary of using them now.I had no more falls after getting the new bindings by the way. Apparently its something inside the sealed heel unit which cannot be fixed, and nothing to do with the fitting. My imagination and very small understanding thinks it may be worn plasdtic parts inside, where nice solid metal parts ought to be used.

This video explains how to adjust Atomic Device 310 ski bindings. The concepts explained can be applied to any bindings. To learn about proper toe cup height adjustment, which I missed in this. XTL 10 Junior. Contact Atomic Ski USA toll-free at (888) 535-7555 between 8 a. The dealer purchased the alpine bindings from Amer Sports. A properly completed Post Accident Ski Equipment Inspection Report. Which said that these bindings models must.

But this is not much more than guesswork, the bindings chap didnt have wonderful technical English, and my German is next to non existant. I will try and find something out given some time.by the way, one of the bindings was useless, and the other would have been so 'in a week or two more'. It seems that either there is a problem which people are hiding, or some dodgy design 'features' from my reading. I have been lead to believe my bindings had something break inside the heel. And this fits to the rocking of the whole heel piece as I walked in them. They certainly were not loosely fitted, as I had cranked them up a bit in all respects, but was unwilling to do too much. The shop chap certainly had no doubt that there could be a problem.

Although to be fair he also said that other makes can suffer too. Five years and a month ago I bought Atomic beta race 9'20 ski's fitted with Xentrix:310 bindings. After a while the brake system smashed apart over the slope while my ski snapped off.

Luckely it was in Wagrain (near Altenmarkt), where there is a big Atomic service center. I got a new pair of bindings for free.So, one season later, some two years ago, my binding failed me AGAIN, by pure accidence on the same slope as last year again in Wagrain. This time the heel released like in the other stories above, caused by a broken spring, I was told later. So again I went to the Atomic shop for a new pair.

Unfortunately they were too old now to be replaced for free, BUT Atomic had a special contract they said and could offer me a new pair of bindings for €25. They gave me CR:412 Race bindings. And fitted them right there in 5 minutes, once again no lost skiing time!!This morning I returned from Val Thorens and guess what has happened. After some unexplainable horrible high speed and black mogul crashes I found out that one of my bindings released the heel easily when leaning forward.

3rd pair of Atomic bindings kaputNow this was after I found out that my steel canting was ripped out of my ski over a length of 5 cm due to the bad snow conditions and stones on the slopes.By the way, I ski with the binding setting on 8 cranked up to 9 after the crashes.Now there's no Atomic point in the Netherlands, so sending my bindings back to Atomic in Altenmarkt will be expensive. My insurance doesn't cover ski's older than 5 years. So I'm screwed. I am considering to send an e-mail or a letter of complaint to them and demand new bindings.

Anyway, my next pair of ski's, if I can even pay them, will certainly not be Atomics.Unfortunately the above stated link to the atomic guy story doesn't work. Martyn,I've had atomic for a couple of years, no problems so far. Likewise no problems in the past with integrated binding systems, or /Marker mixes, Salomon however proved to be a problem with both pre release and failure to release problems.Way back in 2004 I was talking to to an employee in one of the larger UK stores, he claimed that one of the reasons for no longer wanting to offer Atomic was that the perception in the uk market was that Atomic was too difficult a ski for the typical customer. I guess that is negative impact of consistantly thrashing other manufacturers on the world cup and europa cup circuits.Most ski manufacturers Fischer/Salomon, Head, Rossignol) now seem to be driving towards intergrated binding and ski solutions, it gives them a grater share of each sale.remember that the ski branded bindings are not in reality the ski manufacturers attempt to manufacture bindings. Consolidation over the past 5-7 years has seen ski manufacturers and binding manufactures consolidate into a single entity eg Marker and, and Marker, I think that Atomics bindins may have originally been ESS (rolls royce of the binding world).In theory it also allows them to build a 'solutuion' rather than components. I've certainly found Atomic SXB5 and Neox 412 to be an excellent match.

I've not suffered any releaae issues, despite giving them a hell of a thrashing.Regardsbob. Martyn c,there may have been afew problems in the past with the older style bindings the 412 etc, the new neox bindings are much stronger and i have not heard of any problems like you have experienced. A few years back thewre was a decline in shops selling atomic skis (not sure why) but this seems to have reversed with loads of stores carrying the range especially the SX and the Metrons ( a little heavy but not a problem when you are moving)several years ago there was problems with look bindings, salomon bindings and tyrolia bindings, most were down to plastics of the day and seem to have been long forgotten. My guess is atomic have just suffered the same thing, if they wern't safe they would not be on the market and the likes of Miller Ralhves and Maire would not be using them.

I noticed the Heel peice on my 614 bindings are not covered in the recall and wonder why since it is the same heel peice that is used on the 412 bindings that are covered?I Currently have 4 sets of Race skis with this 614 binding and 1 set with the 412 and it realy makes me mad that my more expensive bindings with the same parts are not covered. Has anyone else had this same problem and been able to get it resolved?I have also Contacted the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission about this and Filed a report and I Suggest anyone else with this same 614 binding do the same since it is only a matter of time untill yours will break also. I have the 412 race bindings and they just fell apart yesterday. I took them to a shop and they are not covered because they were made in 2003. I was told it was not the binding that broke just the plastic in the binding.

What kind off an answer is that. Not only they are not covered but I have to use Atomic bindings, what now every other year I have to replace $250 bindings? What they don’t have the parts to just replace the piece that broke? Glad I have an old set that are made of metal that I can trust. I talked with Atomic today and got the typical answer that seem to be read out of a book.

The thing they seem to what to keep saying is that it is a voluntary recall. I guess they think we are all stupid and can’t read the consumer product safty report where is states 'The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below'.

That statement seems to tell me Atomic was going to do a recall one way or another, so they figured they might as well do a voluntary recall instead of waiting for teh Consumer Product Safety Commission made them.If it is not the same plastic then it is very odd, that a pair a year later is having the same exact problem.It would just seem to me that they would have the parts that could fix the binding, instead I have to buy a whole new setup. I’m not going to buy anymore of their crappy stuff.

I was skiing pretty hard when it just broke, what would have happened if I was near a tree or something crazey like that. Lucky for me I was in a wide open area when it happened. I will make sure to tell everyone about these bindings and how Atomic reacted. Not help or a break on the price to replace the bindings.
