-not a high din, but has the durability of high din brothers
-adrian had them on his t-halls 2 years ago
-include a gold chain, gold watch, baller status

they are worth it.

.low rise, short footprint, especially the heelpiece. They have the durability because they are racestock, but they are still safe enough for the average park skier

also have vertical toe release unlike 155 or 185, saves your knees from backseat landings.

Let's just say it can save you from having a bad day and getting injured in some way if you have a nasty fall...I'm kinda second guessing buying the 155s for my pow jib ski...eek

good luck with that. You wont get any new for under what retail is. Since they have stopped production, (until the 2009 season), everyone is hoarding. They arent even that expensive right now either.

I was going to buy icywhite's, but i have found some different bindings instead. PM him, he has a pair hes looking to unload.

yeah, pre bent and everything. what did they go for?

And to the thread maker, get a job, save some cash, and pay retail. Hear me on this, and i will make it bold and in caps:

NO ONE, AND I MEAN NO ONE WILL SELL YOU BRAND NEW, IN THE BOX FKS 120'S FOR LESS THAN RETAIL. THESE BINDINGS WILL BE OUT OF PRODUCTION FOR THE NEXT YEAR, AND EVERYONE IS GRABBING PAIRS WHILE THEY CAN. IF YOU WANT THEM NEW, YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY THEM FROM A SHOP, OR SOMEONE ON NS. IF YOU CHOOSE THE NS ROUTE, YOU WILL NOT PAY ANY LESS THAN THE RETAIL PRICE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
YOURS TRUELY

I don't need caps to make my point.  I have already received several offers from people willing to sell new bindings to me.  I have found several shops that are selling them for way below MSRP and even below some of the kids on this site.  It is summer time and I have no need for bindings right away.  I have a job that pays well but I still prefer not to throw money away.  I have a lot of free time and time in general to search for and buy bindings at the lowest price and best condition.

retail is 129.95 right now. I guess your right, but the chances of him finding brand new ones for less than 130 is very slim to none.

shops hardly ever sell anything for msrp. if you paid msrp for something, your shop probably sucks.

not only that but they're lighter than most bindings. they're like .5 lbs lighter perbinding than the px12 jib (fks 120=2.34, px12 jib=2.86)

then why are they getting rid of it? ive never rode them, but i do have rossis with the turntable heel. and yeah theyre good. but what truely is the benefit of them. the ones i posted are probably lighter and have "30% more forward pressure" and have the same toe as your godly fks. didnt the reactor have a "turntable" heel? and on that point a "turntable" toe? whatever, i could really care less about what bindings you have or like. and i will.

you are an angry man.

If you didn't care you woulden't have posted

They got rid of the heal because of corporate restructuring.

Not because of flaws in the binding.

do they still have any left? Has the sale ended? They are pretty much priced standard right now at 160$. You may find them a bit cheaper or more expensive- like anything, the prices vary from store to store.
