Look pivot 14 bindings or Rossignol FKS 180

i ride p18s on my park ski

the reason they would be over kill is because chances are this kid is 13 and weighs like 130lbs. if someone asks between a 14 and an 18 din binding, they never need the 18, its that simple, hell good chance the 14 is over kill
 
Yeah, sometimes it's reasonable. That's why I said it's very likely it's overkill. OP, how tall are you and how much do you weigh?
 
wat.

I agree with him entirely, it's one of those 'if you gotta ask' kind of questions. If you have to ask if you should get an 18 din binding, chances are you're just going to hurt yourself on an 18 din binding. Or be a total poser and ride them at the minimum release settings all the time.
 
Not always with 16 din bindings, most people can ride in a 16 din like the Jester, 6-16 din. It's more the STH 16, 9-16, where if you have to ask, you shouldn't be riding it.
 
this - I have STH 16s on my Domains, but I know I can handle them (not to mention I've worked my way up to them). 12, 14, and even 15 is a pretty safe max DIN on a binding for most park riders unless you know you need and can handle more. Go with the 14s or 140s.
 
i dont consider jesters a 16 din binding, ive rode them at 14 and still came out for no reason(yes the forward pressure was correct), sure it says its a 16 din, but its more like a 12 in actual practice
 
ive actually been going to the gym every day for the past 2 weeks, so im sure some of it is muscle...
 
Getting a little off topic but what year Jester?I was having pre-release issues with mine and so I had a good look at them, turns out the toe pieces were f*cking out and you could push them back and forth to the point that there was like 3mm between my boot and the AFD, I'm pretty sure under a couple of big hits I managed to come out vertically in the toe just from it folding forward.
The new toe (what mine was replaced with) is actually quite different in the base plate. There are some subtle changes around the 'pylon' the toe attaches to that prevents it 'folding' forward like mine did.
New toe = spiky little bits on the rear part of the base plate and a notch you can get your fingertip into under the front of the AFDOld toe = No notch, no spiky bits.
