WTB look/rossi pivot bindings

Is this an April Fools Day joke?

You want P10's or P18's? That makes little to no sense to me. Those are totally differnt bindings that serve totally different skier abilities and release purposes.
 
p10 = 4-10 din with an optimal setting between 6 and 8

p18 = 8-18 din with an optimal setting between 10 and 16

I don't disagree with your want of pivots, cause hell thats all i'll ride too, but its tough for a p10 and a p18 to both work safely for the same person.
 
Well, I have gathered that much. What I'm saying is there is no way that you would want either a P10 or P18. You would need one of them, not both.

Here's a brief comparison:

P10

-plastic

-consumer binding

-DIN of 3-10

-pivot heel

-vertical release toe

-superior brake system

-much smoother release

P18

-metal

-high end race stock binding

-DIN 8-18

-turntable heel

-no verical release toe

-brake system is fickle and annoying

-less smooth/fluid release

As you can see, you are more concerned with being cool and having a pivot/turntable binding and not with the safety and release characteristics.
 
I am not concerned with being cool. I am concerned with the uhhhh safety and such.

I jsut wasn't aware of those differences. Ok p18 is not what i want.
 
I want the like pivot heels, not turntables. Cause I believe that they have a wider footprint, which will lead to less binding pull outs. I usually ride with my dins at 8.
 
If you ride at a DIN of 8, P18's are out of the question.

The FKS/P race bindings have a very narrow footprint and have turntable heels, so it seems you would want a set of the P10's, P12's or P14's The rossignol equalivent to those are the Axial 100, Axial 120, and Axial 140.

These will all do, but I would suggest the P12 or Axial 120.

Vertical release is an asset in the park. It does exactly as it says: releases vertically. This is benificial in backward and backward twisting falls, releaving stress on the knees.
