I rode a demo pair from 3 seasons ago for a season and a half, before I exploded it. Remember, this was the pre-production demo, and they were badass, until I crashed real fuckin hard fakie, and just nuked 'em. (These were the demo r12's, for knowledge)
So I bought a new pair. Fucked 'em up moving the heelpiece on like the 2nd day of having 'em..... cause I stripped the lock on the heel...... cause I'm a fucking idiot....... $25 bucks and a warranty dealie later, I had a sick pair of bindings. Rode 'em all last season. Bombproof. And they lasted through a couple high-speed fakie ejects, all I did was bend the brakes back.
The shop I bought 'em from was out of r12's, so I've been on r10's.........
I'll be honest, they're a little bit heavier than s912's, but not too bad. They're an awesome binding, and being able to swap them out is sick too. (By the way, they do NOT move around on the ski like somepeople used to say..... I'd notice if they did.)
I've been telling my little story for the last 3 years, and of course nobody gives a fuck, but whatever.
Just try em before you rip 'em.
