they wouldnt be. they are a previous model of fks, still awesome though, its a great binding, almost identical to fks with a few insignificant differences.

main issues:
what is your weight
what is the din range
what condition are they in
what is the asking price

to help you, you need to help us, and that /\ info will help us

hey guys sorry for the lack of info;

IM 5'7" 120 and i am still growing, 95% park (mostly big jumps), very aggressive

the din range on these fkx are 5-14, i guess they are the fks heel with the axial toe upward release. I dont really know what these means but i was hoping you guys could tell me what it means.

Also the guy wants me to give him an offer, what is fair for their condition?
And does it look like they have lifters?

Thanks alot

you are not alone my friend, many of us have

ar6161-

these have an acceptable din range for your size, and upward release, making them ideal for park. those are in pretty damn good condition, so if you can afford it, buy em.

acceptable offers: these are hard to find, especially in this good of a condition. offer at least 150, but if he wants 175-200, its worth it.

^^^+karma to you.

Another question: if these do have lifters is it possible for my shop to get different screws and not mount them with lifters?

They don't have lifters and a good shop should be able to get screws OK.

although there is very limited info on these bindings i dont think they were the predecessors to the fks, rather they are just different (axial upward release toe peice)

There was also the fks 120, which had the toe with upward release, and a din of 3.5-12 I believe.
