This thing is pretty tricky, so I’m not doing a how-to. Not sure I really could without a huge amount of work. As you probably know, there is a simpler way, so long as you’re not using brakes you can just pull your heel up as you rotate heel unit and your boot heel will pop up and out. Lock toe first. Some people do this by picking a ski up and letting the weight of the ski pull the binding off their boot heel, as they rotate. There are videos on the web… don’t have the link at the moment, ask Andrew over at straightchuter.com

Hey Lou,
How is the how-to coming along, very interested in doing this myself, we be great for touring with non-dynafit users.

Never figured out how it could work with ski brakes, and without brakes the rotation method works fine to get out of alpine mode into touring mode.

The “rotation” method is easy. First, lock the toe. Then just lift boot and ski high enough to reach back and rotate the heel unit to the side till your boot pops up and out. I rotate by inserting my pole grip between the climbing post and boot heel.

hi!

did you ‘refine the design’ with the dynafit switch mode?
