i hear griffons ride really well on fat skis. i got a pair for my bacons, and i would definately chose them over sth's. only other binding i would have considered would have been a pair of fk's

I'm choosing between the same bindings. I have concerns with both..
The Griffon has loads of plastic.. I am a person who has a habit of breaking everything and so they seem like a bad idea even though my DIN is like 7-8.
The STH 12 is a Solly binding.. I have had bad experience with them in the past.. I think they pre-release a lot. Do they have much less elastic travel?? But if people don't have pre-release probelms with the 12s I will go with them. I might make a thread about them even though there is loads. My problem is that they release when I land backseat even riding away fine and when I land a bit up on my tips. The release seems to be from my toes backseat. Help please?

jeez people need to get over their salomon-o-phobia already! i know i have an fs thread up for the sth 12, but i've sold all of them so this isn't to promote my sale. these bindings are sick. they're completely different than the 8 or 9 series bindings people have hated in the past. they are constructed with a good amount of metal, are still relatively light weight, and have the extremely strong and reliable worm screw heel that people have been drooling over for years. just because it says salomon doesn't mean it will have all the same problems that a completely different binding did. people seemed to get over the marker moniker pretty quickly, i'm surprised they haven't done the same with salomon.
