Yeah, so I'm 5'11 155 and i ski mostly park. I'm torn between the Rossi Scratch bindings and the Rossi Scratch JR bindings. With a ~30 dollar difference between the two, i'm thinking of just buying the JR bindings. If you could help me out and let me know if hte JR bindings will be fine, let me know. Thanks.

honestly i would just go with the scratches if you charge hard your big enough to where a jr binding probally wont cut it. lastt year i was about your size and i had some jr rossi that i pretty much shattered the heel piece on the skis i mostly just did park on. just spend the thirty bucks its no fun to have to repair a binding halfway through the season

Yep..too big for a junior binding.

Adult boots and Junior bindings aren't very compatible.
If you have junior bindings on adult skis, they are more prone to rip out (if you use the intended screws). Junior bindings GENERALLY aren't as durable

as everyone said, don't buy the jr bindings. you'll end up breaking them and those 30 dollars you saved will end up being a hell of alot more.
