Binder question

[targheepark]

i found a pair of used p18's for 100 bucks. im thinking of mounting them on my AR6's for park. anyone gossly opposed to the idea?

 

[Silence]

i'm grossly opposed to the idea if you are 5' and 100lb

 

[targheepark]

yeah. weight. im 5'8" 170

 

[Silence]

Even not knowing anything else about you like your skiing style you would know if you needed a binding that hardcore,

so I don't think you do.

 

[Style+eeze]

i would say go for it. if they are so cheap then that's good!

 

[cobra_commander]

knee surgury is not cheap, nor fun, sitting out a season with a torn ACL is not fun either.

Keep in mind that while the window on the binding says the din is from 8-18 it is effectivly from 10-18 relative to most other bindings. So unless you constantly ride at a din of 12 or more, I would stay away.

Also the toe does not release vertically.

 

[targheepark]

what binding would you recommend? i ride park with the binders up at 12 usually, but how much is the vertical to release gonna affect everything?

 

[mmallender.]

well if you land really hard back seat to the point where you'd hope to pop out to save your knees, youre not.......

 

[targheepark]

would you recommend the FKS 120 instead for a pure park binding?

 

[scratchman]

yes, that is a much better option.

 

[Aaaron.]

STOP SAYING BINDERS!

THANKS FOR THE HELPFUL COMMENT GO MAKE A THREAD ABOUT HOW YOU HATE IT SO MUCH

 

[mmallender.]

sorry about the asshole comment...

 

[targheepark]

thanks, im going with the fks 120. for my weight they should keep my knees from blowing up

 

[Silence]

a much better idea.

 

[Caveman.]

If your DIN is usually on 12, I would think the 155 would be your best option
