dude above makes it sound like he's tried em...maybe he has. Otherwise everything is just speculation. If they work like everyone says they work then they should be about 10 times better then anything else on the market. I'm buying them.

well, the street for turbo 10's are 199. but most shops will prolly charge full msrp for both setups, which is sick and wrong.

never buy something new like these bindings cause they will never be good. FOr example, line's first twelve sixty sucked. Now it is awesome. Just wait a year or two so they can be perfected before throwin down all ur money

Your call. Like someone said, first year isn't going to be perfect. There'll be gliches to work out and new problems will probably arise. It's taking a chance but whatever, it's such a good idea for bindings, and the inserts are a step in the right direction so i'm going to support them and hope it work out.

i'd get 'em if they are under warranty. plus, it's feedback for line. if you have problems with them, i'm sure they would love the feedback.

I hate miss information and mmm4twintips is the king in this thread.

They bindings are delaied because they re-enginered 3 smalll componants to make the unit work better as a whole. Not because of whatever funding issue you came up with. As for getting K2 on board I wouldnt hold your breath. Every ski company has a binding that goes with them. They want you to buy the set (salomon/salomon, K2/marker, Dynastar/Look...) to increase there profit margin so I wouldn't look for any companies to put this system on there skis in production, because it would basicly be admiting defeat in bindings.

if I lie then i guess I should stop doing rep work
