Pivot/rotating heel bindings

[bigolrig]

what is the reason so many people want them

i got a pair so i dont twist my knee anymore,

what are the advantages,disadvantages and why they are selling like hotcakes

i got look pivots, but i thought they discontinued the pivot thing.

 

[VTtreeskier]

They did, everyone wants the older models, the pivot helps release in more directions, rights?

wow cool this thread just made me feel great about my bindings, i didnt really think of them as being special before.

P.S

where can you get wide brakes,if possible, or am i stuck bending the piss out of them

 

[pfluffenmeister]

when releasing the heel pivots on the fibula/tibia axis so it puts less strain on your knees.

they don't pre-release,

when they do release they do it super-smooth so you can run a high din w/o being afraid of blowing out a knee.

no wide brakes; bend them; multiple threads on how to avoid bruising your knuckles on tgr (look for vise method)

why did they stop making them anyway? cheaper to make the px series?

for that matter why did they stop making the full 360 degree turntable heels(FKS/look p18)? now those things rock!!
