What bindings?

Look p12s

if you cant find them, get px12s (hopefully they won't explode when you click into them)

salomon z12. sound's like you're a small fry so durability wouldn't be a problem, and you could probably use the lightess.

ok thanx

well i am not a small fry so i need a bigger binding. i ride the pow in the woods at plattekill mountain. oh yeah i have the z12's and i regret buying them every day!

look at the new marker 2008 set up like the jester or duke they look sick but i dno if ther just for park and i dno the price

well i assumed with 157s you would, alas, be a small fry, but since you're not, i reccommend fks 120. i got them for $130 off sierrasnowboard.com

i just have small ass skis i need longer ones.

rope or bungee cords

anyone here think the px12 jibs are heavy?

rossignols

How tall are you, man?

if you're averaged size (5'7" or so) then I suggest the Rossignol FKS 155. They are the sickest binding I've ever used, especially for powder.

is there much difference between the 155 and 120 besides the toe piece (plastic and vertical release) and din?

hmm...i've seen those shitty bindings in action...HA> im gonna start calling you small fry!

the 155 is an all-around burlier binding. For example, with the pressure release rate of a FKS 120, I would have to have my din on 17 to keep me in safely. But with the pressure release rate of a FKS 155, my din is around 13 to keep me in safely. On a FKS 185, my din is around 8 to keep me in safely.


the higher the din, the burlier the binding. The 155 and 185 have a different design from the 120. The 120 is pretty much a plastic version of the 155, and with a lower din.

I have never used 120s, I always rode p12 Jibs (which I cant use anymore), Fischer 14-din bindings, and FKS 155s. This year I snagged a 2nd pair of 155s so Im stoked to use those in the park. the Fischer 14s kept popping out like a mofo, even at a 13 din.


so to answer your question, you are going to have to honestly evaluate your size and skill level as a skier. If you shred like no other and are around 5'8", 145 lbs, then get a 155. But if you're more towards the easier side of skiing, then I suggest the 120.

whatever choice you make, keep in mind: they're your knees.

not really. The only real difference is the toe piece, the heel is exactly the same (apart from dins). If your under 185lbs or so dont waste your money on the 155, unless you ski hard, really hard.

The 120 is better for park as a lot of falls in park riding require a vertical release. With the 155 you will be in more danger of ACL injuries.
