I've just buyed some JP vs. Juliens unmounted, and now I'm looking for some great bindings, the best I can get, but I dont know which one to buy...

And I dont know if they're going to those semi-telemark bindings so you can walk uphill.. The skis are for freeride ONLY, no piste or park with them.. :D

Plz Anyone with some good knowledge or suggestions?
 
not those i have heard and read alot on here a tgr that theyy rip out easily on fatter skis and i have seen fks rip out of Jp like butter
 
if you want an AT binding, go with the marker duke

regular alpine, cant go wrong with a 916, or a 920 if you want to get knee surgery in the next few years.
 
And well... I'm not a total aggresive skier, I'm from Europe, so I mostly ski crust and crud, and sometimes pow, But for freeride I ski small jumps, cliffs and gaps, not anything huge.. Hope that helps a bit, ask for more if you need more details :-)
 
I've looked at the Look Bindings, they are my clear favourite, but since my JPs are quite wide, what about the standard Look PX 12ti Binding? Will it fit? Or how do I do it?
 
you take a power sander and grind at the sidewall of the ski until it is narrow enough to fit the brake. thats what I did and the brakes fit perfectly.
 
Sloppppppy! If you want an AT binding, I'd wait for the Duke, reading reviews and such, it's head and shoulders above the Naxo and the Freeride. The alpine version of the Duke (Jester) looks to be very nice as well. If you want an alpine binding, don't get the FKS, those rip out of JP's very easily cause of the tight screw pattern and the mystery core on those skis. Get something with a wider footprint, Salomon, Jester and 4FRNT/VIST come to mind... The Salomon Z12 is also super light...would make a nice addition to the weight of the JP's if you don't think you'll explode them.
