is okay, not everyone needs a full metal binding that is burly as hell. I can garantee that my griffons will always hold up fine for me because im only 125 pounds and dont drop mad fucking cliffs. Hell, i ski in PA
...yet i still bought bent chetlers? hmm...still trying to figure that one out haha. i'll just continue to say its a long term investment until i find something else to say to back up my idiotic buys. oh well. i got money, so i might as well spend on something that i'll enjoy!
