i heard that when you are in the air, they can tell if youre going to make the landing or overshoot it and they will weigh more or less accordingly. i could be wrong though.

^ ive also heard that.

i also heard they can detect when you are going to over or under rotate and either release parchutes to slow you down or shoot rockets to speed you up.

can anyone confirm that?

they've only got one because the bindings are so expensive thats the one they decided to go with prob the most popular ones.... IVe had the deadbolts since march they are sweet a little bit of a different feel at the start but something you get used too. and they are definitley solid!

^^You know what? I think you right! I think I read that in the descrption somewhere.

They are going to be sick bindings. Since they're made by Vist, there won't be any trial and error.

the Vist system is sick, a lot of new companies are using it with their own logo screens.

Liberty and 4frnt both use the same binding.

vist bindings are expensive and hard to find periode and i don't think that having a 4 frnt logo changes the price by to much but goddamn they're nice i was talkin to a rep. like in december and he had ridden them and he said they were awsome

Seems as though everyone is jockin' because 4frnt is puttin their name on someone else's binding.

Is there any real reason to buy the binding? What does it offer that makes it particularly good as a park/jib binding?

hmmmmm. i am skeptical, because it is their first year. i really hope they will be better than the lines. my thoughts: wait till next year, and then only if you have a shop that carries them. in my experience, it is a bad idea to have bindings that the local shops have never seen before

Skeptical because it's their first year shouldn't be a big deal because they are just Vist bindings with a different name screened on them.

Vist has a good rep from what I've heard.

My question still stands as to what they are offering that is unique and will progress the current state of our equipment.

Now I've never ridden VIST but they look like they'd perform very similarly to high end salomons or markers (AKA, ok as long as you crank the DIN a bit)
My guess is that they aren't anything revolutionary, just a solid race binding remarked for freeskiing.

I've heard nothing but bad things about VIST bindings (formerly marketed by Nordica), don't get sucked in by the marketing hype

if these are different/new bindings, then do more research into them, but if they are the same VIST bindings from prior years re-branded (which they appear to be), then beware

lots of moving parts, lots that can go wrong

^What bad things??? The stock VIST model has been on the WC for 3 years now with proven results. 4frnt has tweaked the binding to suit it more for freeskiing, their athletes have been on them since August and have not broken any.

And what moving parts??? What the hell does that mean? If that were the case for a bad binding, the Rossi FKS would top the list with it's heel piece!
