i hate it when people say ' i hate ________ bindings, i have broken 2 pairs'. you probably had the cheapest binding made by that company, which is ment for old ladys who barily make it over 10 mph. if you guys actually took the time to do a little research, you would relize that every company makes some dam good bindings, if you get the right ones. if you truly beat the fuck out of your skis and bindings, i would suggest getting the comp 1800's by marker. most shops dont carry them, but if you can find them, buy them. they have a solid metal heelcup that it milled from a block of metal, the toe lugs have teeth to keep you in better, and a din of 8-18. if they can hold up on the world cup circut, they will hold up for you.
