i'd say thats the proper designed ski for the jester cause they really can't take the abuse of park riding

The Jesters can handle that much skiing abuse, but the PX race versions will hold up a bit better as far as people kicking them to snow off, and that type of abuse.

Personally, I think the Jesters drive a ski better all around, but if you're looking for the most retention then the PXs would be the choice.

Keep in mind that an aftermarket PX wide brake will not fit on a PX15, 18, or any other PX race binding.  It's a different housing, and we haven't been able to find the wide brakes separate from the ones that come with them.

Hope this helps.

i had jesters on my elizabeths last year and they are sick! i am definately sticking with them for a while, they respond super well- give you a lot of control. i have ridden on look bindings (same as rossi) and on the old style 4frnts and the jesters are definately the best. and i think the retention is amazing - they have a super small toe entry angle so once you click in you are locked-in. especially for a fat ski like the those the wider toe is going to help a ton.

I have never ridden PX bindings, but I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the Jester. They perform exactly how I want them to.

Jesters are great on wider skis b/c their design is wider, which makes turning fatter skis easyer. Ive used PX and they blow, I hated them. PX race would hold up better but I would still go with the jester due to the wider design and how it works with wider skis.
