how did you guys mounted your invaders, do you use line binding, did you find that mounting it them with something else than line affected the so called "butter zone"

^woah dude.. calm down. he's just asking a question.. not for an ass raping.

anyways... I am using reactors on them... its the best thing to use, b/c you can mount them on numerous skis, it allows the ski to flex fully and naturally..not like looks/rossis where there is a dead spot under your foot.

But if you do decide to use another binding... for sure have them center mount and it shouldn't affect the butter zone whatso ever.

Just put your binding true center and they'll be legit. It doesn't matter what binding you use as far as affecting the ski goes as long as you put it in the same place and it has a seperate heel/toe. Don't use the reactor though.

the word is no... not enough time to imrove it i guess, it did take them year to design and make the binding afterall, but i figure if you get me and they break constantly and u just keep getting new ones, when line finally get the bugs worked out u break the last pair of old ones and u got urself a new and improved pair of bindings...

^it would suck to be on the hill though and have your binding break. you'd have to walk down and be out of skiing for a few days while you could get it taken care of.

yah i've read of people taking them to the shop and exchanging them for a new pair, th eone thing on the line site that i think people really need ot pay attention to is to have a certified line shop properly set up the bindings, or they for sure will break

I highly doubt that you actually feel the "flat spot" under your foot. Don't cite stuff you have no clue about.

wasn't intending an ass raping upon the poor fellow...just frustrated, but you seem to be flamboyantly gay with what you posted above about flat dead spots under look/rossi bindings, maybe youd like an ass raping?

how is there a "dead spot" under look/rossi bindings considering they're mounted as a seperate toe and heel piece whereas the line bindings are one piece that take up a whole chunk of the ski cuz they're so huge??

why do you think so many of those bindings pull out?? the mounting bolts are centrally mounted which means the ski in theory can flex more, but at the same time, if you flex it to much it basically pulls the bindings away from the ski thus putting a LOT of tension of the fastening bolts that hold them IN the ski!!

i THINK you're dumb

Yeah, explain this "dead spot" to me. Because I know for a fact that the new looks/rossi's are made to travel in and out 1 cm to compensate for the flexing of the ski underfoot.

^ok well the old ones then. It makes sense to me and I have been told by many people that since the toe and heel are connected by your boot, the area underneath doesn't flex as does the rest of the ski... sort of like mounting plates like on the old atomic twins...the ski doesn't really flex as much underneath it... I mean it probably does flex somewhat, but still there is an area of different/extremely less flex and thus a dead spot. Fuck if I am wrong then I am wrong..whatever.

my comments about the line bindigns still hold...the 4 bolt pattern in the center is the reason shit pulls out so much and they have so many problems with them...the ski flexes...pushes up on the bindings thus putting way too much pressure on the bolts.

but i had no clue about the tech. mentioned above about the new look/rossi bindings...which further backs my theory...
