And out of those I'd have to say the Axials.  For one, they're the cheapest, and two, I think they have pivot heels.  You'd need wide brakes for them though.  If the heels aren't pivoting/aren't good, then go with the PXs

ive seen kids with the white rossis on their anthems and they go really well together. but if you cant find those/dont wanna spend the cash, go with the middle ones you picked out. the gray ones

All of the "Axial 2" bindings are the same as the PXs so they do not have pivoting heels.  I would personally go with the PX jibs because they have the lowest risers, but you'll still have to throw some wide brakes on there.

Just don't go with the NXs.  Even though they're a 12, the performance from that heel is a big step down.

Good luck.

axials, the looks are same binding but in a signature model, the only difference is color. go with either the px 12s or axials depending on what you like better. its only 13 dollars difference so if you like those colors get them

the "Impact Pads" on the jibs dont matter one bit....i have them on my current park skis, and i dont notice any difference between the jibs and the normal px12s, or the axials...ive ridden all 3, for about a season each, and it all comes down to the money...if you wanna spend more, go for the jibs, if you wanna save some money, get the axials or px12s....they truely are all the same bindings (except for the px12Ti's which have more metal in them)

it looks like the axials are the same distance raised off the ski as the px12 jibs, just one is gell pads and one is just plastic

dunno but i just warn people about using an all plastic binding sometimes its totally fine but the durability just wont stand up to multiple seasons of abuse- so in the end you might end up spending more on a whole new pair of bindings than if you went with something with metal. i just got the px12 TI jibs- same as px12 jibs just with metal so a little heavier and more $$ but worth it i think.

the risers on the axials is slightly higher then the risers on the jibs, especially in the heel. The Axials have a higher ramp angle then the jibs, which is technically not as good for park/free skiing. Is it it $12.60 worse, maybe maybe not, thats for you to decide, just giving you some info. Also if you wish to mount with out the risers you will need new screws which shop techs will charge you an extra $5 or so for.

God damn dude just buy one of them. They're almost identical and you'll never notice the difference. Go with whatever matches your skis.
