Just wondering if i get the look px12 or rossi scratch 120 jib bindings, does it really make that big of a deal to have those absorber pads?  I am mostly doing rails and small to medium height jumps. What other bindings do you recommend for my fujatives? Look NX12? Marker M1100???  Dont want to spend more than $150.  i am 5'6 and 130 lbs

those pads don't do shit, pivots (p10, p12) are the old version of the px10s or px12's, and they're better. if you can get pivots, do it

racing bindings are actually farly popular with freeriders. Any FKS binding is good. Look px12 are solid binding just heavy as shit. they really make no difference the ti, pivot all of that stuff doesntr relaly matter in my opinion

Do the race bindings have lifters or something? Can I take out the lifters? What are FKS?

If you don't know what the FKS series is, you don't need them. (They are Rossis line of race stock binders, but they will probably be way overkill for you). Look into some Look P12sor PX12s, or Rossi Axial 120sor Axial 2 120s, you should be fine with either.

Remember that knee surgery is a lot more expensive than good bindings, though.

fks 120s are fantastic park bindings and generally dont cost too much.
