you did read he's only 135 lbs right? unless he gets the 120s, his ACLs are going to have to disagree with you.

Ya, I only said FKS. Not which ones. So he could get which ever ones fit. I only weigh like 145ish, but im like 6ft tall. I have a pair of 120s, and 185s. Both on a din of 9. And I have never had any problems knee problems (unlike my salomon s912s and look p10s). The 185s acutally seem to release latterally easier than my 120s.

Don't Buy the Look PX series. I've blown through 2 pairs already, they prerelease all the time and just generally suck. If you're going to stay with a consumer level binding get some salomons.

Whatev you do dont get look, rossi, or dynastar bindings, see theres this gaint dildo on the back of them and if you have a bad crash they can tend to go right up your ass. Not to mentoin if your homie wants to ride on your boards there harder to ajust, Get Marker bindings, they are easy to adjust and the Din can get hella high

Knee problems are not directly related to binding din, if you want your knees to be aight go to the gym and drink milk. If you get in a big enough crash that you blow you A or mcl your binding probably wont be the reason. Myadvice crank your shit up all the way and hope for the best, if your an advanced skier your more likly to hurt yourself from binding prerelease then stickybinding

Uh, he wants a light binding? Why is everyone suggesting p18s and fks? I'd suggest salomon bindings, maybe 12s? Since you're light you shouldn't trash them.

well if u want a light binding, id go with a salomon, z12, but they do prerelease quite frquently. I myself own look px12 jib ti's.I would not buy a px series binding again. Did nto like the way they kept releasing on stuff they should not have. If u can look into the older p10's becuase ur light, or p12's excellent bindings for u.

if you want light bindings you should probably get some titanium bindings, any brand, but if the person selling them to you knows anything about freestyle bindings he/she should be able to tell you what binding should be best for you

Get something with a dildo heelpiece that isnt a fuckin 18 DIN. Contrary to popular belief, race stock bindings are not necessary, and you dont need them to be cool. Yeah some race stocks might work, but chances are if your asking us, you dont need the FKS. Rossi and Look both make legit bindings, just get whatever you find a good deal on. As for the sollys, only high end. All their low end bindings pretty much suck dick.
