I mean, is it worth it to spend the extra 50 for the rossi? Not a huge amount of money, just wondering what ppl gotta say about them. Any other bindings I should consider?

depends how hard you ride. if you destroy shit then grab the 150s. if your mellow grab the jibs. but mostly it depends on what you ride your din at. if its 10 or below grab the jibs.

Eh, I mostly freeride and such, I dabble in the park. I'm pretty big kid now, like 6'0" 215 lbs. I don't hit huge booters and shit, just small tables and rails. Just want a really solid pair of bindings that will last.

^^to the kid above, obviously your completely ignorant to the fact that a large number of skiers wear burton gear.

so to the post, i would say go with the 150's because your a bigger guy so going off the top of my head, your din is going to be normally at i beleive atleast a 10, so having the 150 would give you some room to raise the din a little on powder days so you dont end up losing you skis all the time in the powder. i was in basically this same dilemma last year, and having the higher din ski just gives you more room to adjust if necessary. also, on the topic of losing skis in powder, one tip, buy a roll of that bright pink vinyl/plastic "tape" that actually isnt sticky and tie it to your binding and tuck it into your pants on pow days, especially if you go with the px 12 jibs

At 215 I'd go to the 150. Also you could guinea pig them for the rest of us...

if people wear it and think its good gear why wouldnt they support it? if they feel its better service and quality than other "skier based" companies than so be it.

predator wear was great while it lasted and did well off the bump skiing crowd, but they also failed to innovate and get rid of the knee patches and other bump shit on most of their gear. it's too bad they're gone but they didn't exactly earn a spot.

Thanks doods for all the answers... prly goin with the rossi 150 then.


I don't give a fuck about my icon in the first place, and Burton is dope so its straight with me.

I wear a lot of Burton gear because this Rep has been givin me pro-form prices of any gear I want for the last 7 years. So I'm droppin 1/2 the money for some really high quality stuff. Its just how I do.
