no, but really.  i got to work (subway sandwiches bitches)  and dude i works with says there are skis in the dumpster out back, so i take a look and all the skis are old so i decide to dig them out more to see the bindings, so on this one pair i find a pair of old FKS in black/red with the din going up to 14.  i don't even know if the bindings work properly but the heels click up and down.  now i gotta get a boot to fit them on. 

ill get pictures when i can but would these be worth anything?  i believe they have the toe release.

they on a pair of like 65mm rossi straights skis.  i might just make them my daffy only skis.  double sick.

mount em up and use em. I use some of the old school ones and they are dope. you could probably sell them for like 100 bucks or something, but you will not be able to buy a better binding with that money so there's no point. assuming they're in good shape.

unmounted brand new fks120 that is.  because i bought them before i found out that they like to rip out of surface watch lifes.  but i do plan on getting a pow ski this year because im living/working in banff for a year probably.  so i could get a chance to use them.

They were wrong. It was a dumpster at the end of the rainbow, not a pot of gold.

nice. i say just keep them how they are. its just easier.. otherwise you would have ot take them off, bend the brakes (assuming your skis have over a 85 waist), and then pay for a remount... use them as your glen plake skis

i found some good condish p10s on some pretty new race skiis at the dump one day.

I have the p10s on my park skiis and just sold the race skiis i got for free for $150.

It is worth looking thorugh some of the shit people though away from time to time.

BEWARE!

If you look carefully you can see that they are broken and you are 100% guaranteed to tear your ACL if you even step into them. For your own safety I suggest you send them straight to me so that I can dispose of them properly for you :)

Do we have to get into this again? hahaha...

This man, Cibbles, will surely dispose of them in an improper manner. I on the other hand, will pay you for your troubles of shipping the bindings to me so I can dispose of them in an environmentally safe way. On top of the shipping costs that I will cover, i will also pay you with 12 slightly used rubber duckies.

got them at the goodfoot in calgary on 17th st ( or was it ave?) for 115.  they called court force. 


thanks for the replies and yes i did get lucky, i bet the kid that told me about the skis in the dumpster wishes he looked harder, because i think he skis himself.  i can't really use the skis though, at least from my visual inspection they look like...shit.  i have the tools to bend brakes so i really don't mind.  i will probably end up taking them off and putting them on a pair of 100mm+waist skis...come to think of it i think they would look good on hellbents.
