for next year look an rossi bindings no longer have the pivot heel that everyone has grown to love. they replaced it with a heel track and a heel piece that they claim gives you more forward pressure. when all they are actually doing is saving there asses $$$$$$ at our expense.... so pick up some pivot heels while you still can!

 
because they are gonna charge the same prices as they do now but pay less to make the product and people won't catch on to it for a little while also but they are sayin the heel has the most forward pressure of any binding which is a smokescreen on not having a pivot heel any more.

 
wow that sucks.

Taking a manufacturing stand point, they will have more costs to create molds, designs, ect for this binding then they would if they kept making the pivot... so in reality they wont be saving money.. atleast not in the first year or two of production. Maybe they are making it better... only time will tell..

Yeah, its going to pretty much be the nova. Stupidest choice ive ever seen the industry make, but whatever. Youve got 2 years to stock up... and remember, theres always Ebay.

He's right, I saw them in vegas. Pretty crappy move. I'm selling Look P12 Jib's and p12 Lifters for $160 if anyone is interested.

all the highest end bindings are staying the same. Look pivots 14-18 Race are the same, and Rossi FKSs are the same. I foresee all kinds of kids being killed by 18 din bindings as a result of this move.

well at least you can still get FKS 120s and FKS 155s... so there isn't a need to get a super high binding. but that still sucks. alot.

I understand the decision was made because of the advancements in multidirectional-releasing toe designs; Which rendered a pivoting heel redundant and unnecessary. At least, that's what I've read.

Demo days allow all skiers to try different skis to find out which ones reward their brand of poor technique.

actually, the toe peices next year look identical. this sucks. super gay for them to do that. i mean, itll still be a decent binding, but nowhere near as nice as the current ones.

i looked on google but all i could find was 3D Animation porn-sxmarty6

ECS headwear, hit me up!
 
Wow, i guess this means we're sorta screwed. I can only hope now that Line can pull through and perfect the reactor. That kinda sucks too thought, cause it forces you to but line skis unless you want a damn plate to add even more weight to an already heavy-ass binding. I love my Scratch FS's and really don't wanna switch.

well before we all give up on Look/Rossi, we should see what the new binding looks like. They've been making the best binding for years, I'm sure they know what they're doing.

I am glad i just picked up a pair of P12 Jibs! That is stupid that they are changing the heal piece, there one right now is IDEAL! No changes are needed.
