Which Park Bindings?

I just won a pair of Scott Jib TW skis and I'm not sure which bindings to put on them. I'm leaning away from the Rossi FKS because you can't adjust the binding to fit different boots. I looked at the Marker Jester Pros and they're pretty expensive. My other park skis have the Atomic FFG on them and that works pretty well.

Any suggestions?

 
I have ffg 16s and they work perfect. That means you could also go for sths considering that they're more or less the same bindings
 
That's a good ski, but I think the person who designed it had the ON3P worst top-sheet ever contest in mind.

Anyway, depends on your weight, griffon 13(yeah, I said Griffon), jester 16, pivot 14, FKS, you can't really go wrong with any of those depending on the DIN you need.
 
.

OP - it really depends on how long you want them to last, how hard you shred, and how much you weigh.

generally the more metal parts means the stronger/longer lasting binding. so something like FKs will weigh more - but break less.

on the other hand more plastic pieces = lighter, and less reliable. for instance I have marker squires mounted on my halo's (didnt want em, but they were mounted when I got them so I said fuck it) they are light as a feather, but I have the dins cranked down which isn't great for the integrity of the binding. There is no doubt in my mind my squires will break on me this season.

go to a local shop and scope out the models, and when you find whats for you look for em used online for cheap.
 
Haha good question. Actually I don't (although I might buy new boots with a different BSL in the future). My girlfriend and I won the skis together so I would like to get bindings that will fit her boots as well. Also, I have a good friend who I ski with a lot and we like to share skis.
 
the marker griffons are a good binding. not too heavy but durable enough for the average park skier. the range on the binding for boot sizes is pretty good too.

another option i would point you at are the sth 14's pretty much the same deal as the griffon. for generally 230-250 dollars depending on the shop
 
if adjustably is the issue with fks, I would get sth drivers. those would be the only two bindings i would trust with my knees
 
Now I'm definitely leaning toward the STH 14s. Definitely wanted something adjustable made of steel rather than plastic. Thanks.
 
There are bindings, then there are touring bindings, and even tele bindings. But there's no fucking "freeski" bindings. A DIN binding is a DIN binding. Some are better than others, and all have some different characteristics that make them either loved or hated. Either way...They're just fucking bindings.

Who the fuck shares ski's with their girlfriend?
 
I just gave you your first karma yeah yay yay return men some odf dat shit yeah k++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ya know 1,2 1,2 yeah boy!!! give me some of dat karma near my name click up to 10/10 thats what i did fo u return the thaver ye ye 123 come on now
 
DING DING DING!!!

why would you even consider an 18 din binding if you're sharing with your girlfriend (dumb idea)?

you sir are dumb
 
Hahahahaha op is an idiot. Do not share skis with te same bindings on them. Do you know how to adjust forward pressure? How tower someone's din? Because I doubt you and your girlfriend ride the same.
 
They group them for gapers like you. in the end beyond touring, and tele bindings. All bindings will work for no matter what skiing you do.
 
From what I have concluded on all of my basic bindings searches is that most people generally call them apline or all terrain bindings. My contribution.
 
Who lets their girlfriend use their skis??? My girlfriend is 70 lbs lighter and 11'' shorter than me and I wouldn't even let her carry my skis since they are just way too big for her. Your skis and bindings should be set for you and used by you. Don't make a binding choice just so you can let your friend take a few laps on your skis. If you happen to have the same size boots then yeah switch for a bit but that should be the last thing on your mind when purchasing bindings. Buy a binding that suits your skiing style and physical characteristics. And just to contribute something as far as your original question goes, from my experience go with pivots, fks or sth drivers. All are great bindings.
 
what what why the hell my karma gone down i gave you 10/10 and i turn on my computer today and bam my rating gone a shit load done and freeskiing bindings are u dumb no such thing if you want bindings to last buy bindings which are mostly metal and will have a higher regularly, if you want a low din they are generally made more out of plastic assuming that a light rider will be skiing on them and if you want to share bindings just buy something like a marker demo binding or and old pair of rental bindings because they are easy to adjust.
