I Just Got a pair of 07 175 ARVs, and im looking for a pair of bindings. I was thinking of either the Salomon s12ti which I have on my AR6s which could be a lil more durable or the Rossingnol FKS 120s or any others you can think of.
I ski like 75%-80% Park and whatever all mtn i ski
...140lbs
...5'9" or so
Im also looking for a binding on the lighter side.

Try the salomon z10 or 12ti they are lighter than the s12's.
The look px jibs are good too.

fks 120 are only .1 lbs heavier than the s912 and are much more durable, safe, and cheap. as for z12 they are super light, (1.9 lbs) but are not known for being durable, however this may not be an issue for you as you are not very big.

In my opinion, s912's are some of the shittiest bindings you can get.

just get some P12s, best bang for buck, being very similar to FKS 120s in performance, but having a lower price tag, the trick is finding people willing to sell their beloved pivots.

fks are made for the race team.
this year, the race team hated the non-pivot race binding.
from what i hear, they'll start making the fks again for  09.

They are bringing it back for the 08/09 season. Some of the racers were at breck, who were on the US team, and they said how they hated the PX style heel, and that the FKS pivoting model will be back in 2008/2009.

If you want light, look into the salomon Z series, or the Deadbolts. The rossi/Look bindings arent all that light, but they are pretty solid.
