So for those that have seen Idea I have a question. At the beginning of the movie when everyone is packing up their gear, Pollard grabs his EP Pros. Can anyone identify which binding he has on them. I am most likely selling my 130's and picking up a pair of these so I would like to know his setup so that I can ride like him....just kidding.

sth 16's or 916's and im sure they have a lot more metal in them/possibly higher din than what a consumer would buy.

Yeah, I don't need anywhere near a 16 din. I am looking at the sth12 and they sound pretty solid.

its called derbey flex and it kicks ass, it was originally for old race skis.

and just as a side not to those of you with gigantic skis. derbyflex jigs spread out to 150mm
so you can use them to drill any ski with the regular jig on top of it. i.e. no free handing on your new 800 dollar rocker skis.

no it is rubber grippy stuff, skateboard grip tape will not hold on to a hard smooth plastic like the bottom of ski boots it is a new rubber that increases grippyness as it gets colder.
