i have Scratch Axium 100s on my 169 Fujatives...and im getting 178 Invaders...should i put those on them. or should i put last years s810 Ti axe plus on the invaders? i was planning to put the scratches on my invders and rempount the fujatives with the s810s...but if anyone can tell me otherwise it would be appreciated

 
yeah bro, axiums are like weekend-warrior rec. bindings, If you want them to last more than 15 days of jibbing i'd shoot for something better.
 
i agree axiums arent great...but how will jibbing hurt ur bindings? i mean the binding doest even touch the rail
 
on ebay theu have bindings listed with lifters...(i don no shiit about anything) but can u mount with out the lifters?
 
because the plastic will break when you take hard falls your boot is forced out. recreational skiers dont take the same kind of falls thatkids in the park take
 
i think unless you're gunna be doing huge disasters and 50 ft+ tables then i think the axiums should be fine.
 
If you put some 810's on your skis you may as well kick them off at the top of the lift and roll down the mountain. Try to sell them to somebody else and get yourself a pair of rossignols or looks.
 
I had some axium bindings on my old teneighties and after 2 years of skiing on them they were completely broken. Now the brakes don't work on one of them and when I fall like backseat and kind of sideways the toe wings twist and go horizontal when I eject and I have to kick them back into place. Also, I can't adjust the DIN on either of them anymore, it's stuck at 8. I would say if you ski hard and want to keep them for awhile get something nicer.
 
Rossignol/Look toepieces are supposed to do that, they'll do it right out of the box if you fall right.
 
yeah sorry, I was referring to park riding in general, just the overall abuse from jumping and hitting things.
 
i have scratch axiums, and im not worried. if i break them, i return them, they have a 1 year warrenty
 
If you do any real riding in the park your going to hate the axiums. The axium is a release centered binding, meaning if you land hard enough the binding will release and you will fall. Something like the new axial or the Look Px is going to be a lot better. Built tougher to take more punishment. It is also designed to hold you foot for as long as possible before it releases.
 
this will me my first YEAR freeskiing. im not busting 7s, just some switch ups, rails, and the ocassional 3
