I'm an occasional Dynafiddler and really know little about the binding, so I'm wondering . . .
Here, Lou explains improvements to the Speed Radical binding to avoid twisting in the wrong direction while skinning up (which then causes your binding to annoyingly lock you in):

I have a 2012-13 pair and it has the improvement Lou discusses in the above post. However, recently, one binding kept twisting in the wrong direction while skinning up, causing the unwanted lock down. It happened about 6 times before I stopped using the risers (it happens only when the risers are engaged, which makes sense if you can visualize the problem b/c the heel of the boot never touches the heel of the binding if the risers are not engaged, and it's the stomping down on the riser in 8-10" of coastal powder that got the heel to twist in the wrong direction). Dynafit sent me an after-market fix that I think was initially created for the 2011 Speed Radicals (great customer service and no charge for the parts, by the way). I installed them (very easy to do) and they seem bomber -- it now seems virtually impossible for it to happen again.
I'm curious -- has anyone else experienced this with the post-2011 Speed Radicals?
