The answer to "what binding"

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that's because you're about 14 and maybe weigh maybe 120lbs soaking wet.

They are "youth" bindings. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with them, but when I see adults riding around on them it makes me cringe. I would snap them like a candy-cane but that's because I eat too much and I land like a sack of bricks most of the time.
 
Have some marker griffons, tired of the heel piece freezing on me every time I leave them for 10 minutes outside.. pain in the ass to clip back into them after.. appart from that, great bindings
 
What touring bindings?

Looking to invest in my first pair of touring bindings

They'll be on 188 rocker 2 115s

I'm 6' 180lbs

Advanced rider, but not generally sending cliffs bigger than 20ft, i will be sending back country booters though.

I usually ride with a 6-8 din

Need something that will last at least 2 years.

Need something with a strong flat land setting, and steep terrain setting

Thanks

Atomic Tracker/Salomon Guardian would be my number 1 pick, if you're going to be hitting booters and dropping stuff you really need an alpine-style AT binding rather than a dedicated tech binding (Unless its a Dynafit Beast).

Marker Duke as backup option but the Tracker/Guardian is more like an evolved version of this.

If you're not going to be doing much skinning, maybe even Trekkers and a regular alpine binding.
 
Any experience with what difference does the weight make? I have Armada ARV`s and I don't know whether to go with Marker Jester or Jester Schizo (the one that you can move back from the dead center). There`s almost 300g difference per 1/2 pair.

Nice guide
 
3mm is approximately half the length of a grain of rice. You need to bend each leg half of this amount - 1.5mm

Chances are you won't even need to bend the brake, the (very small) force of the spring in the brake mechanism combined with the slight amount of play in the brake will mean it fits straight over anyway.
 
IF they were the same price, a couple years ago griffon schizo bindings new or tyrolia Attack 13 new, which one would you go with? All mountain, definitely gonna go fast/carve and definitely going to be in park, all mountain level 2-3. Not going too big.

GET THE K2 PIVOT

The K2 Pivot? I'm not sure if you're taking the piss or just retarded.

To answer the original question, I would get the Attack 13. I feel like the Schizo was a great idea but they never quite nailed the execution.

Ah. Dont know if this makes a difference but I have one pair of skis for al mountain, no silly quiverrrr
 
Hey everyone, alright so I'm just getting into big mountain skiing and been hucking cliffs for a while and looking togo bigger, i just bought some pettitors and looking for a solid binding to go with it. when i ride park i usually keep my din around 11-13 but with the bigger drops and harder landings i want to up grade from my marker squires, i love marker so i was looking at the Marker Lord binding and wondering if anyone had some knowledge on them or any ideas for something better. i would appreciate it thanks!

You normally ride 11-13 DIN on Squires? Must be some magical Squires considering they only go to 11.

The Lord is made to be compatible with AT and Alpine boots. If you're only ever going to ski on alpine boots, get the Griffon, it's only got 1 less DIN but less weight and complexity (but you'll probably find a way to turn them up to 15 anyway)
 
I am 150lbs and need a marker touring binding [getting a deal]. I think a Barron will suit me fine but I have heard about issues in durability as compared to the Duke. Is the added durability of the Duke worth the extra weight and cost?
 
Got marker griffons mounted at REI (closest small shop is 50 min away don't judge pls), the dude totally forgot to charge me for the bindings. #bigboxstoreperks
 
Im going to put some fks 140's onto some 98 kartels. What brake width should I go with, the 95 or 115?

Click to expand...

no overall markers are great binding pretty durable, except squires which they aren't that good but that is because its their lower end binding that's meant for smaller more beginner intermediate kids.

i have a question.i'm 5'7 130lbs and aggressive skier.which bindings is best for me?
Click to expand...

tyrollia attack 13

look pivot 12/Rossi FKS 12

Saloman Warden 13

those 3 would be ur best options I think, and the pivots and FKS's are pretty much the same thing
 
I ordered some 98 Kartels and am wondering if I should center mount or place back a bit. I dont want a traditional mount but I still want the skis to perform when I go somewhere where there is something ealse other than park worth skiing.

So my question is

Is there a big difference between center mounting and mounting say halfway between center and recommended when skiing rare powder and else where?

They are 176's RCR and I am 5'8".
 
Hi

i am looking for bindings for my new ski i am planning to order.

The ski i want to order is the Volkl Step Flat 14/15 (179cm)

I am 183 cm tall and my weight is 187lbs

i'm a pretty agressive skieer, and jump kickers.

i use the ski's alot 2/3 times a week out of 40 weeks a year ( i work at a indoor ski dome)

so the price isnt a big issue i just would like it to be a good one.

i now have a marker 11 from 5 years ago, and it is starting to fail sometimes at big kickers.

thanks in advance for the help.

Greetings
 
So I just got a new pair of skis mounted with some FKS bindings, and I noticed that while the toe pieces seem to be in about the same place on both skis, the heel piece is mounted slightly further back on one ski than the other. Is this going to cause me some problems? It's not a crazy difference, but I was just hoping I could get an idea of whether or not it's fine.
 
As long as it's still in range of getting the forward pressure right you'll be fine. But if it was a big-ish difference (i.e more than say 5 millimeters) I'd go and ask the shop how drunk the tech was when he mounted them.

Not much you can actually do about it though as it'll be too close to the existing holes to re-mount properly.
 
are my pivots done-zo? broke the heel piece plate off of one of my skis yesterday and need to know if I should just get a new set or get em repaired. doesn't really matter cuz I have enough for new bindings anyways, but was kinda hoping to throw these onto my new skis when I get them soon. ive had them for probably 4 years now without any issues.

im sure its a fairly simple answer, im just an idiot and im horrible at explaining things lol. any input helps.
 
That's the infamous FKS "Half moon" - they break a fair bit. Your shop should be able to get a replacement from Rossi/Look.

Alternatively if you can find an old pair on some ancient skis at a thrift shop or whatever they have a metal half moon which is obviously much stronger.

good to know, I think im just gonna retire those and make them some shitty rock/jib skis.

I have one more question, I have a pair of STH14 drivers in fairly good condition without that much heavy use, would it be wise to slap them on my new skis (4FRNT devastators) or just save up and get a new set of the new STHs? are their significant differences performance-wise between the two?
 
Fks 140's are on sale on Evo for $180 right now, I just picked some up. Now I just need a pair of skis to put them on
 
Pivots or fks bindings are my favorite. Tried my friends skis with fks's loved that binding. Would recommend that. Pivots are the same binding
 
Hi!

Was looking to make a purchase for a touring binding for a pair of Line Opus.

Im not necessarily doing that many hucks but I do like to get sendy and really wanna venture more outside of the park into a more big mountain type skiing.

I usually ride my skis around DIN 9-10 and I weight in around 165lbs.

I was thinking (and were recommended this in the shop) of the F12 Tour EPF, but as far as I know its not that burly for hucks and stuff?

As much as I would like a light binding my main focus is the skiing, so weight is something that I feel that I can live with instead of eating shit..

These are my only pow skis so I will be using them probably 70% inbounds.

I'm really new into the touring business but I would really like to get into it!

Thanks in advance.
 
Thinking about buying the K2 Shreditor 102, and have been considering either Salomon STH2 WTR13, or Marker Griffon 13. I'm about 195lbs and 6'3, ski all over the mountain pretty aggressively, and just got into park last season.

Would these bindings be suitable for me, or do I need to be looking at something with a higher DIN range?

Cheers

Atomic Tracker 13 would probably be bueno for you.

Much burlier than the F12.

Thanks for the respond.

But isn't the Tracker really really heavy tho?

I've found a good price for the DIN16 version (same price as the DIN13), is there any difference in the binding other than the DIN? Can't really find any info.

Its comparable to the Baron and a much better binding in my opinion.

As you said though, it'll be your 70% inbounds (and I bet it turns out to be more like 90%, it's just the way it goes) ski, so I would be heavily favouring alpine performance over a little bit of weight saving and tour performance.
 
Well I have marker 10s last year didn't work well with he type of boots I had. Bought some new skis, bindings and boots for woodward and personally I love the attack 13s from 4frnts with switchblades. But i guess its all on opinion
